Over the course of next 2 weeks, I will have the opportunity to moderate three excellent panels. Details below.

My request to you is – what would you ask if you were moderating the panel or sitting down for lunch with them 1-on-1? Please leave a comment or send me a note and i will try my best to get an answer for you. Thanks.

The first two are at GigaOM’s Mobilize (Sept 18th) which is shaping up to be a truly remarkable event with both the depth and breadth of content, people, and discussion.

Panel – The Carrier Panel: Strategies To Keep Mobile Data Growing

Stagnant subscriber figures. Low churn rates. There is only so much talking that a person can do in the day. So profits from voice are at a stasis. The new frontier for profits and opportunity is through growing mobile data. But it needs to be nurtured and there has to be a plan to enable the entrepreneurs to exploit it. The panel will try to gain insights into what the carriers will do to make the mobile data explosion happen.
