The Wireless Innovation Network of BC (WINBC), along with its key sponsors Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia and TELUS, recently announced they are accepting entries for the fourth annual Wireless Innovation Contest (WIC’07).
The contest will recognize organizations and innovators whose wireless deployments are already making a difference or have the opportunity to change the way we do things, benefiting our communities and generating profit.
The contest is open to Canadian and American wireless developers and solution providers that have deployed a wireless solution in one of following categories:
- Taking Care of Business (public and private sector)
- Taking Care of Yourself (home & entertainment, sports & recreation)
- Taking Care of the Community
- Student’s work
WIC’07 entrants will be expected to provide a proven ROI for their deployment of wireless technologies in any of the above categories. Interested parties are invited to visit WINBC’s site to enter.
A panel of independent judges will examine, evaluate and choose a winner and runner-up in each WIC’07 category. A benefit valued at $100,000 WIC’07 winners are rewarded with targeted exposure in media and at trade shows, inclusion in a special case study publication and a one-hour mentor session with the panel of judges during CTIA WIRELESS 2007.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
