It's now the top of the 2nd inning of the second game of the World Series where my mighty Boston Red Sox are playing against the Colorado Rockies. As I relax in front of my TV, having just returned from the Mobile Business Expo at Interop, I began to reflect on the last three days. I had a great time, attending some very informative panels and had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people working for innovative organizations in the wireless and mobile space. There were a couple of things during the event that really struck me.

I'm writing today from my hotel room in NYC as I prepare to participate in the Mobile Business Expo at Interop at the Javits Center on the Lower West Side. I'm here to participate on a panel that will be discussing the current state and outlook of the mobile business applications market and what are the key challenges the industry faces that could hinder the adoption of those applications.

OK, another really bad title for a post, but in all seriousness, could Gary Forsee, the now former CEO of Sprint, predicted that he would be out of a job, effective immediately? Not that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting Gary, but my sense is that no he did not see this happening so quickly.

Too bad he's the only one convinced of this.

In case you are interested in wireless expense management, come listen to a webinar I will be participating in, hosted by Rivermine.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Nokia decided to do something rather interesting today by announcing it plans to acquire NAVTEQ. This deal doesn't completely surprise me at the abstract level, but some of the details do.
