Things change quickly — and this is just the beginning.

Would it surprise you if I said the upcoming CTIA Wireless 2012 show will be very different from those in the past? I’ve been going to these wireless shows for more years than I can remember. Every few years, the show — and in fact the entire industry — changes. This is a great showplace for what is new and what is coming next in the wireless industry — and next month’s show should be no exception.

Just like 10 years ago, and then again five years ago, the technology industry is changing. That means companies are enjoying new opportunities and wrestling with new challenges. Only some will win. I’ll offer my perspective as an analyst on who is winning, who is losing and why. I believe you will find this column both interesting and valuable.
