Interviewed by Vicki Kolovou for Tech Talks Central.4:01 “..I see a huge change in the mobile sector. It’s not about devices anymore, it’s not about mobile devices; ok the dialogue about new devices and functionalities is always there from the big vendors; but the biggest thing I see evolving is the convergence of all this communication and connected devices between them.
