The 3GSM World Congress 2006
The biggest news in Barcelona this week has to be the disappointing loss of their beloved Barsa soccer team against Valencia on Sunday night, but a close second is the re-located 3GSM show. The show, which had been in Cannes for over a decade moved here after outgrowing the French venue, and this year claims a record attendance of over 50,000 delegates in the wireless industry, with over 1,000 companies in the exhibition. In my next few Techdirt posts, I'll be offering some of my take-aways from the show after today, Tuesday, the second day of four. Here are links to those posts:Mobile TV Remains The Hottest Topic In Wireless
Developing Markets Are A Hot Issue At 3GSM
HSDPA A Hot Topic At 3GSM
Instant Messenger Deal Announced At 3GSM
This show keeps a person quite busy, but I hope to post on some of the other high level hot topics tomorrow.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
