Today's technology innovations will continue to transform the way we communicate tomorrow and the networks supporting these communications will become more and more transparent. As industry-wide convergence to IP accelerates and the lines continue to blur between wireline and wireless delivery, what mobile technologies will the industry need to evaluate to help deliver the most compelling handsets and value-added services to market in 2006 and beyond?

This panel session will discuss key technology trends that are shaping the future of mobile communications -- including mobile broadcast, near-field communications, advanced multimedia and the flexible software that enables it all. Attendees will learn the methods of making smart choices and investments in R&D, the business cases for innovation and how to address the complex challenge of introducing market-leading technologies in new products with (or without) the supporting value chain in place.
