What is LongView?

The world seems to have lots of comments about the future telecom markets, and there's a well established market for market research. This blog is designed to discuss the 10-15 year future for telecom.

We don't know who the players will be, nor do I really care (not in this blog anyway). What I care about is really understanding what our experience of communications will be in 2020, and trying to document what steps scientists are taking to get us there.

Is this Arthur C Clarke territory? Yes. But I want to focus on the tangible scientific research which is getting us there. No doubt, though, I will get distracted into the speculative world of "what would be lovely".

Note on personal associations: I am employed by Yankee Group, the most foward looking of the Industry Analysts in telecoms. However, this is a personal blog. Click here for YG's official blog.
