As part of the keynote session on Tuesday, October 11 at 9:30 a.m. PDT, the carrier CEOs will address how wireless technology helps industries increase efficiencies and effectiveness through innovative offerings such as e-billing, fleet management and monitoring utility usage. These executives will also talk about the wireless industry's need for more spectrum to fuel the "virtuous cycle," which ensures Americans continue to have access to the cutting-edge devices and services in the world. In addition, more spectrum is needed to meet the increasing demand by other industries such as healthcare, education, transportation and energy to improve their businesses and their customers' experiences.

"The wireless industry has reached an inflection point, where mobile is critical to a company's bottomline and growth. The carrier CEOs will provide attendees with details on how their companies are meeting the needs of the constantly evolving enterprise mobility market with revolutionary new products and services, such as 4G networks and devices," said Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director, CTIA.
