CTIA Wireless 2012 wrap-up
By Brad Molen posted May 11th 2012 12:00PM
Oh, how we will miss New Orleans. It’s been a long and busy week in the Big Easy as tens of thousands of calories were sacrificed in the name of bringing you the most comprehensive coverage of CTIA’s annual spring show. Not that we mind — we love doing it, and it’s easy justification for the dozens of beignets we downed during our stay. The event was a tad on the quiet side this year (no companies announced any buyouts, for starters) we still kept ourselves more than adequately busy sticking our noses in every nook and cranny of the show floor. After the break, feast upon our entire scope of coverage, in case you missed it the first time around.
