Here’s your chance to nab 2 free tickets to Under the Radar: Mobility on November 12th at Microsoft in Mountain View, Ca….
AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Alltel are all judges at the event. So many carriers have been forced to “open up” in the last year and their approaches to working with startups are drastically shifting.
That said, Under The Radar wants to know what YOU want to hear them talk about. What matters most to you? What answers do you want from carriers? What are the pain points you’ve never heard talked about before? What topics would blow your mind?
You can reply to this post with your answers by leaving a comment before Thursday, October 23 at midnight PST . Best answer gets a free ticket to the event, $695 value.

Based on signal positioning most carriers know where everybody is at anytime (of course the mobile device needs to be switched on). There is a lot of valuable data on how people move, what they do, what similar people do. This data is very valuable for science in order to better understand humans. But on the other hand there is something called privacy.
I guess most carriers protect their customers privacy, but I feel they might not be telling the truth about that. Would be nice to hear more about how they track data and how they use this data. Hopefully they will give a truthful answer.
Mobile Operators are becoming very active in the ecosystem, becoming part of the conversation with device OEMs, content providers, even Operating Environments. I am curious to understand if this one-to-many approach is just an interim stage, but not yet really addressing the larger problem of tackling the many-to-many approach where they must address the intra-carrier issues to truly be open. Mobile operators already have roaming agreements, why not open up certain services to share across all subscribers?

When information starts coming back I will begin posting it and commenting as well. [...]
