\"Globe<\/a>I was referred to an opinion piece<\/a> by Sara Diamond, president of the Ontario College of Art and Design, in yesterday’s Globe and Mail and I think it merits your review. I’m not sure I agree with the article, but there is an interesting discussion that it launches.<\/p>\n

The article asks “Will Canada miss the next wireless revolution?” and suggests that except for a handful of companies, Canadians are sleeping through a dramatic shift in the international economy. <\/p>\n

But with the exception of Research In Motion, the Viigo IP Platform, QuickPlay, Marble Media, and a host of bright young micro companies, we don’t get it. Our internal market has been too small to propel a profitable local industry, data rates have been too expensive, appetite for risk and access to Canadian carriers too limited. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do Canadians really not get it? Does the future belong to these “micro companies”? How can Canadians participate and win in the mobile economy?<\/p>\n

Next week, the Information and Communications Forum at University of Toronto is running an executive development program<\/a>, looking at The Networked Society in 2020<\/span>, with an objective of trying to identify opportunities for leadership for the Canadian ICT industry.<\/p>\n

And of course, mobile and wireless issues are front of mind at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a>, June 15-17.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b> [May 5, 11:00 am]
Alec Saunders has perspectives on the Sara Diamond piece on his blog<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
