Movers in the Information Rennaissance
I would be remiss if I did not first mention CICS as being a mover and shaker. Within this community upstanding citizens of various technological skills are entering or have already entered job markets. These people all have the training required to participate in this movement. From VP's of AT&T to entrepreneurs of WiMAX there are many people in important positions.
Another important entity is the ITU. This is the International Telecommunications Union. This body has over 200 members, each member a different country. These countries get together and help to decide important telecommunications regulations, and these regulations are part of the future of information. They recently added WiMAX to the IMT-2000 standard which is a great start. This will help to push this emerging technology to the foreground.
The other large companies involved with this are the vendor companies. Companies such as Sprint are looking to completely deploy WiMAX around the United States. This network would definitely revolutionize the information industry.
