If I had more time, I would speak slower The great French writer, Proust said “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter”. Here are my shorter slides:-)
4 Areas • We don’t want to pay for bits anymore • I.e. cellular provider better make money from something else • We do want to know who to trust • Source of identity and risk reduction • Especially for transactional software • We woul like to go back 10 years to 1 week battery life handsets! • Need to be smarter about resource use on mobile • We’d like to automate malware out of existence • Not just signing and virus scanning - better Computer Science!
Lessons from working with cellular providers • They have lost control of the handset • They will lose control of the radio/spectrum pretty soon • Need to capitalise on last resources - e.g. • Cell tower is good co-lo for cache/web/CDN • SIM is great for ID • Low transactional overhead billing system is excellent
From experience with • Microsoft, Intel, NTT DoCoMo, BT, Telefonica, KAIST, MPI, Vodafone • Etc etc etc • Trust matters • Ethics matter • Spectrum should all be free • Models based on empirical data matter • measure everything about your users, networks, devices • Social Structures are really really useful • Old ideas (e.g. dataflow and functional programming) may have their day
