Also, with a keen knowledge of how the telecom and mobile technology arena is evolving, Jeff will also address a pressing market dynamic involving customer data ownership and the contest to take a stake in the game. Who will win the race to own customer data? App Developers, Carriers, OEMs or Google/FaceBook? Are carriers equipped or prepared to take control? Time is of the essence!
