The QTS Experience

Apps Rule the World with Dean Bubley

My guest this week is my friend Dean Bubley, a 5G, Cloud, mobile connectivity, telecom guru based out of the UK, and we got together to talk about the future trends in mobile connectivity (our apps). We spend, on average, 5 hours a day using apps; almost everything we do involves an app. Banking, shopping, entertainment, security, you name it – we use it. That’s a significant part of our waking lives.  Whether you realize it or not – the future of apps is important to you. What would happen if the networks and internet our devices use are compromised, or worse, not available at all? Sound farfetched? Maybe, but given our current geo politics – it is part of an interesting and pertinent discussion that you won’t want to miss. So join us for the conversation on this week's episode of The QTS Experience.
