CTIA-The Wireless Association® February Edition of 'Wonder of Wireless' and Blog to Focus on Mobile Cloud Computing

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mobile cloud computing is transforming the way consumers use their wireless devices. If you use your smart phone to check email, talk to your friends through a social network app or upload your pictures and videos to a website, you're probably already enjoying the benefits of cloud computing. In fact, it is estimated that 50 billion devices will connect to a mobile cloud by 2020. Businesses use the mobile cloud to access company data from anywhere and anytime, making them faster and more efficient. Mobile cloud computing is also helping the environment by reducing the power consumption of individual devices and offering an easier way to implement green fuel sources to power servers. In February's "Wonder of Wireless" (WOW) webcast and blog (http://blog.ctia.org/), CTIA-The Wireless Association® will feature stories on how cloud computing is empowering mobile devices.

Mobile cloud computing is helping to make our businesses today more efficient, cost-effective and accessible. This month's Policy Point helps describe mobile cloud computing, its growth and how it can help improve business.

Finally, this month's Wireless Lifesaver features Dan Woolley. He was standing in a hotel working on a video project when the devastating earthquake occurred in Haiti last year.
