Here is a small clip from the Mobile Monday Event in the Samsung Center that we streamed from our pda using quik. Ari Zoldan spoke on an expert panel along with Robert Samuels of the New York Times and Carl Taylor of Hutchison Whampoa Europe. During the discussion, Ari explained how one can create a personal WiFi hotspot with one of the many cutting edge Cradlepoint routers. You can use these routers with a USB or PCMCI data card or throught a usb connection to your data phone or PDA. Furthermore, many of these routers will soon have Wimax or 4G capabilities. Check out the Cradlepoint Routers on http://www.quantum-wireless.com and http://www.Wimax.net

Mobile Monday New York presents Broadband everywhere, the mobile opportunity. Monday, 22 Sept 2008 at the Samsung Experience Center, 10 Columbus Circle, NYC

The current rollout of HSPA [High Speed Packet Access] is creating new business opportunities that exploit mobile broadband. The huge sales of USB modems reveal an emerging market that is different from pocket broadband on handsets. Mobile broadband is competing with WiFi due to always-connected mobility, ease of access and flat rate data plans. Carriers are developing HSPA and WiMax capabilities, deploying femtocells and partnering to provide xDSL connection to their core networks.

In Europe, the market has already transitioned from one dominated by visionary mobile broadband customers, to a mainstream market dominated by pragmatic customers. In the US, more people are using Web-friendly handsets and consuming more Web content overall, particularly content that lies outside carriers’ portals.

Meanwhile industry bodies - in conjunction with a raft of PC OEMs – are creating a new Mobile Broadband logo and branding campaign for wireless broadband in laptops, aiming to educate the public about ‘broadband inside’.

MoMo New York presents a discussion on the impacts of mobile broadband on carriers, content providers, laptop manufacturers and infrastructure vendors. We are happy to announce the following distinguished speakers:
