Back in 1979, when Kermit and Fozzie took off on their adventures in Jim Henson's classic, they were truly footloose and fancy free... and completely cut off from anyone and anything not immediately around them or available by pay phone. This made for some pretty excellent family fun in the movie theater, but would seem pretty foreign to most non-Muppets traveling around nowadays. Mobile voice, video, and data are so pervasive that it's hard to remember a time in which they weren't. That may make for a lousy backdrop for a comedy-of-errors road movie, but it's the hyper-connected world in which we live.  

However, what's next for wireless technology?  As far as we've come, what areas are left to explore? There are still numerous wireless markets yet to be examined. 

In this issue of Pipeline, we plumb the depths of some of the modern realities of present and future wireless technology. We'll hear from the experts at NPRG on the state of Emerging Wireless. We'll take a look at the upcoming Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona. In addition, we'll explore topics like EPM, user experience, and migration.
