People Pulling Together for MOBS

MOBS is really coming together, and it's one of the few times in your life when getting a MOB together is positive and a boost for business.

Groups of people are coming together to offer mobile solutions, coordinate strategy with telcos, and chart the future of wireless on the phone. some of them I've never met before. Some of them I know through reputation. Some of them really helped me with research this year.

I was happy to see Marshall Brown, CEO of Wired Towns showing his enthusiasm for joining the MOBS Forum in 2010.

And I just spoke with Ronny Haraldsvik, Vice President of Marketing for Spider Cloud, which is doing some amazing things in what seems to be a new niche for mobile operators.

He and Spider Cloud CEO Mike Gallagher are going to help put together part of the program and hook us up with a few more speakers in the indoors wireless space.

They belong to the group of enterprise-focused companies offering convergence opportunities, which should enhance business and usage capabilities while offering eye-opening opportunities for people looking to invest in the space.

And right before heading out the door last night, I talked with Todd Sullivan at CrowdZone, who is packing his bags for the forum in June. Maybe he's not really packing his bags just yet, but he said he will come.

There are a whole bunch of people coming to this forum. See below for the continually expanding list of companies, and see you there!
