Lift08 Workshop led by Thomas Purves Deck produced during the workshop Open and the Future of Wireless at Lift08 and led by Thomas Purves. A group of two dozen telecom industry veterans, entrepreneurs, interactive designers and other Lifters gathered for 3 hours at Lift 08 discuss an idea of Lift and the future of wireless. There was of course an ulterior motive, which was to inform and inspire a wireless future for Canada base on the ideas and experience of European and International mobile innovators. This slide deck was assembled collaboratively with workshop contributions in blue.
