I may have missed Mobile World Congress due to an injured ankle, but I’m back full-force for CTIA with a schedule full of briefings and demos with a balanced mix of market giants (including all the mobile search companies) and must-watch newcomers. Naturally, I want to deep-dive – so I may choose to circle back with my analysis after CTIA. I’m particularly excited about my interview with Eran Wyler, InfoGin CEO, which will also conclude a special five-part podcast series on federated mobile search (combining results from multiple sources) and the key importance of transcoding. The seriesis timed to promote my latest white paper on the topic — so please be sure to check back.

I’m also honored to join John Puterbaugh, Nellymoser Founder & Chief Strategist and guest columnist on MSG, in a roundtable during CTIA focused on Web 2.0. The event — titled Web 2.0 comes to Handsets – New Issues and Upside for Monetizing the Mobile Web – organized by Airwide Solutions, brings together a Who’s Who list of mobile luminaries and renowned bloggers. (I’m looking forward to a mind-meld and some great ideas in the break-out sessions.)

Thanks again to Brenda Suarez, Director of Corporate Communications, Airwide Solutions, and Janet Swaysland from Beelinelabs for inviting me to participate. I’ll circle back with some key points, but Airwide will also document the sessions. I’ll link to the summaries/podcasts/etc when I return from CTIA.
