Marshall Brown, CEO, Wired Towns

Our latest speaker to join the MOBS forum is Marshall Brown, who is the founding CEO of Wired Towns.

We talked at a party last night in New York City hosted by Steve Masur of Masur Law.

(Readers of my Fast Company blog might remember that I wrote about him last week in an article about the legal ramifications -- or not -- of Augmented Reality.)

Marshall told me that after leaving Harvard, where he was working on a thesis for his PhD, he decided to work in the mobile telecoms space.

He ended up doing quite a bit, including gearing areas in New York City for free wi-fi access.

You can see a video of him on Fox Business News here: Is free wi-fi coming to a city near you?

Marshall is also blogging over at his company site, Wired Towns.
