Free High Speed Internet Everywhere Around the Globe with Steve Papa, Founder of Parallel Wireless and Endeca

Steve Papa founded Parallel Wireless in 2012 to dramatically lower the cost of building/operating wireless data networks, and in this talk learn what the art of the possible might be over the next decade and the implications for anyone requiring Internet connectivity in the future as well for investors in communications infrastructure.

He has a BS from Princeton University in Operations Research and Economics and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
