Mobile World Congress 2016

By Javier Castillo - February/22/2016





Wondering who all these new people in the city are? Did 20 cruise ships just unload passengers at the port? No my befuddled comrade, it's Mobile World Congress 2016 and it is well underway! The event that dates back to 1987 has had a bit of a slow start today due to a last-minute Metro strike. Yet, the city is certainly buzzing with energy, optimism, and - you guessed it - mobile-minded techies from all over the world. This is the biggest thing in Mobile. Period. This year Zuck was spotted over the weekend jogging around the city to unsuspecting eyes, taking in all the glorious sights Barcelona has offer. Today he made a surprise appearance at the Samsung event to hype up the new Samsung Gear VR.

The day will certainly play out with more exciting product announcements as well as some great demonstrations to catch the public's attention. One thing that is more prominent this year, compared to last, is the protagonism of virtual reality. It's the new "new" - appearing to take center stage and stirring up interest both at a B2B and B2C level. The future looks very bright indeed for Mobile and this Congress and its amazing turnout can attest to that. Here is a great infographic that clearly explains mobile's global reach in regards to subscriber growth trends from 2015 to 2020:

  6. A Cracker or Criminal Hacker is the same thing as a Hacker except that their
    motives are different than a Hackers motives. A Cracker breaks into a system or
    software for Criminal purposes. They may wish to steal something and / or they
    may wish to disrupt the system that they are in. Crackers are far worse than the
    regular Hacker. genuine hackers for hire
