San Jose Adult Entertainment: Analyst Angle: Mobile convergence good for USA
The region combines the device ingenuity of Danger and Apple, the operating system innovation in Android, the communications leap of Twitter, the network powerhouses like Cisco, middleware from Sun’s Java, database specialists like Oracle, content from leading portals like Yahoo, search powerhouses like Google, processor giants like Intel, some 40% of U.S. telecom venture capital activity, corporate VCs, startups of every stripe … and those are just head offices. Add in the requisite field offices from dozens of tier-one operators, and quick links to our media and telecom neighbors in San Diego and Los Angeles and you can see how the region has a powerful effect on the global telecom industry. And the convergence of these formerly separate sectors has helped the USA reclaim an important leadership position in the global industry.
But I don’t intend to spend the whole article pimping my region. My point is that Silicon Valley is a microcosm, representative of the kind of activity that is going on globally, and I’m thrilled to have a front-row seat to see these different sectors converge … sometimes gracefully … usually not.
