Podcast
The Sky-High Expectations Surrounding Mobile Networks (23:34 minutes)
Users today want to be able to access more services using more devices.
They want coordination across all the platforms they use, they want
security and privacy, and they want the full support of their IT
departments. It's all a very tall order, and networks will need to
adjust rapidly or the latency and hassle of access and performance
issues will get in the way of users, their new expectations, and their
behaviors.
