Don't Neglect the Network

It's a less glamorous topic than the flashy unveiling of Motorola's first Android phone, the Cliq, but the reality behind what makes devices like the Cliq possible is the high-speed network that connects it. Rick Keith, senior director of Strategy for Broadband Access Solutions at Motorola, who sat on a panel discussing high-speed networks at our Mobilize conference following the Cliq unveiling, went as far as to call his panel "like following up Madonna." However, he pointed out, the network is doing the heavy lifting and will be a chief driver of innovation and new services.
