David Isenberg gives a talk on the important role of the networks, relating this issue with mobile communications. As isenbeg explains, the network or 'stupid network', as he calls it, supplies a simple connection but no services. Instead, value is created at the edge of the network by smart, network-enabled products and applications.

He also talks about the idea of spectrum scarcity, which is based on 1920’s technology, he notes that there is no longer scarcity as a lot can be done with the resources available. In his opinion, nowadays there is potential for radical abundance, with intelligence at the helm.
