  • 15-minute deep dives into one topic at a time

    My Monday morning 🌅 walk companion, where Roger and Don unpack one topic at a time. 15 minutes is deep enough to understand what is going on, and short enough to get it in every week.

  • Good information on network deployment and roadmap

    It would be great if we can get Roger’s perspective on wearables. Like cellular watches and their roadmap to 5G eventually, how carriers value (or not) wearables etc.
