I had a note in from Adrian Sarosi of global messaging and transaction giant OpenMarket. Adrian heads up Sales and Account Management for the company in the UK & EMEA. He’s extending an invitation to all readers attending CTIA thus: Hi Ewan Just to let you know, OpenMarket are off to CTIA in Florida in […]
There’s an absolutely fascinating argument burgeoning between Steve Largent, President & CEO of CTIA (the American Wireless Association) and mobile industry analyst/commentator, Tomi Ahonen. Ahonen posted this excellent diatribe laying into the American mobile industry (primarily the operators). Steve wasn’t happy. Not at all. So unhappy was he, that he ended up having to question […]
If you’re heading to CTIA in Las Vegas and you’d like to make a bit of a splash, please get in contact. I’m looking for some sponsorship assistance to help us take the whole MIR TV team out to CTIA to produce about 20-25 videos of the event. As sponsor, we’ll put your logo and […]
For any non-US-based reader planning a trip to CTIA this Spring (like me), make sure you’ve registered for authorisation before you travel. You can do it online. And it’s not that painful. My authorisation was granted immediately. It looks to me to be an online carbon copy of those visa-waiver forms you have to complete […]
Here, then, is the latest Mobile Industry Review Show (“MIR Show”) — Episode 26. It’s jampacked! JAMPACKED with footage from both Beijing, CTIA and London. Our technical contributor, Dan Lane, anchors the show from his office in London while everyone else was out gallivanting across the globe. Watch out for: – Ben Smith live from […]
I sat down last night to edit the 6 hours worth of footage that I took at CTIA, together with Ben’s stuff from Beijing and James’ stuff from Helsinki. There’s a lot. A LOT. I recognised that I wouldn’t be able to finish the edit in one fell swoop. So I took a break. The […]
Here’s a preview of the coverage to expect here on Mobile Industry Review from this week’s CTIA September 2008: CTIA September 2008 Coverage Preview from Mobile Industry Review on Vimeo.

Thank you for your continued patience. Updates are sketchy. Alas, I’ve squeezed meeting after meeting into my days here and whilst that’s super in terms of acquiring good, interesting content, it leaves little time for actually getting stuff up online here. But we’ve got a veritable riot of stuff for you coming. Here’s a taster: […]
I’ve been choc-a-bloc with meetings all throughout CTIA but every now and then, an interview has been finishing early. It doesn’t happen often. But when it does, I’ve been indulging in a spot of holsterwatching. That is, observing the mobile use of the industry itself. It’s terminally depressing on one hand — and on the […]
I’ve got some good video footage — about 70 gig’s worth. Luckily I brought along my 1TB drive. My brand of choice? Western Digital. Although I’ve also got an Iomega 1TB back in London. You need that when you’re doing video. Today was action-packed with meeting-after-meeting along with some impromptu connections with folk. My modus-operandi, […]
