CTIA WIRELESS is the world’s largest technology event dedicated exclusively to wireless, broadband convergence and mobile computing technologies, covering the entire industry from network infrastructure to microprocessors to applications to content to end-user hardware. What wireless is to a young man growing up in Beijing, can be dramatically different than what it is to a woman in India or a college student in NYC. What is wireless to you? The Society of Industry Leaders helps you find out with this special preview of CTIA WIRELESS 2007.
 

The Society of Industry Leaders (SIL) is a select group of international professionals. SIL members include industry veterans, professional practitioners and academic authorities. Vista Research (see below) connects SIL members with clients and institutional investors, through telephone and in-person consultations. SIL members are compensated for their time and enjoy many other benefits. Apply now or see below for more information.
