Mobile Monday Boston hosted an event at the Google offices in Cambridge to discuss new developments and trends, promote local startups, networking with various mobile tech companies and much more!

Unfortunately, I was away at FITC San Francisco giving a workshop about Android and also a talk on Flash on devices, so I missed the event.

The event had a lot of interesting speakers and was a ton of fun, check out the brief video recap!

Last month there was a neat event that I wasn’t able to attend (due to work): Seminar: The Mobile Data Deluge: What it Means for Users, Apps, Carriers, and the Future of Wireless

“The incredible increase in data usage especially video and other bandwidth-intensive applications — has turned the mobile network model on its head as data now dwarfs the voice share of network traffic. 

This shift is prompting carriers to change pricing models, to shift traffic off of cellular networks using WiFi and/or femtocells, and to demand more efficient use of the network by applications providers.

How will these consumers, device makers, and applications developers adapt to these changes? 

Will they adjust or will they force the carriers to adopt other models?  

Will other competitors to the existing providers emerge and what impact could they have?   

What can infrastructure companies do to address the new demands?  

And how will all of this impact the burgeoning applications market.”

Boston Innovation posted a video recap of the Momo Block party.
