Heading to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Saturday
I'm heading to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona (see below) on Saturday, arriving on Sunday.
I've been to Spain several times and to Barcelona twice, but never for the MWC. In 2006 some 50,000 people attended the show, that used to be in held in Cannes.
I'm going as a guest of Nokia, through its "blogger relations program," and expect to receive a couple of great new toys -- that I certainly intend to put to good use during the conference. I'm especially interested in attending panel discussions and exhibits about multimedia products and services, such as, duh, mobile television and mobile videos as well as camera phones for live streaming and.
Assuming I can get some good wireless data connections (hopefully free or Boingo-affiliated WiFi hotspots) I'm going to try some live streaming cellular videos. Stay tuned next week.
Any news on the new "network cookie" being announced by Cisco? Several big carriers will be giving Google a fit, along with the FTC moves on privacy, including your phone location.
