As if nanotechnology didnt have enough trouble with terminology along comes Nanomobility, something that had us scratching our heads until they bled.
Is this applications of nanotech for mobile devices, something we have looked at in the last year for a number of large telecoms clients? Is it convergence, nano/bio/IT (well leave out the cognitive bit, it only frightens people). Is it something to do with travel? Lets ask;
“The Converging Nanotechnology and Communications Ecosystem provides a comprehensive overview of the key elements that are shaping the ecosystem for nanomobility as well as the global initiatives that are driving the integrated connection between nanotechnologies and communications.”
Well that leaves us little the wiser but a skim of the somewhat skimpy executive summary tells us that “Future solutions derived from integrating nano-scale machines will require interoperable, seamless internetworking communications in order to succeed in a commercial environment.”
Hmmm. Well just keep an eye on their blog and see if anyone cares to explain. We mailed CEO Michael J. OFarrell for clarification a couple of weeks ago. Maybe hes as puzzled as we are?
Update: As a result of CEO Michael J. OFarrells comments below, we have shifted from being puzzled to being somewhat intrigued.
