SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Open Mobile Media announces that Sanjiv Ahuja CEO LightSquared will be keynoting The Open Mobile Summit San Francisco on November 2nd.

Since LightSquared announced the plan to build a fully open LTE network across the US last July the controversial company has made great strides signing deals with Sprint, Best Buy, ClearTalk and EarthComm, despite opposition from the GPS industry over the company’s spectrum allocation.

“The race is on for 4G in North America” said Executive Producer Robin Batt “All the major carriers have committed to 4G, however it’s far from clear how they’ll recoup this huge investment – and what the next generation mobile broadband business models will mean to the app ecosystem, and to mobile video specifically”.

“At the Open Mobile Summit this year Sanjiv Ahuja CEO LightSquared will be joined by Verizon’s CTO David Small and Sprint’s CTO Stephen Bye – as well as business leaders from Google, Hulu, Disney, ABC and more to explore how to build and monetize the mobile Internet economy” said Batt.

The Open Mobile Summit takes place November 2 to 4 at the Marriot Marquis in San Francisco. Now in its 4th year the Summit connects 850 of the most influential people in converging mobile, Internet, media and electronics.

“This is a very powerful conference bringing together service providers, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists, all under the same roof. I highly recommend it”. Daniel Gurrola, VP Group Strategy, Orange / France Telecom

Key themes include 4G, mobile commerce, NFC and mobile Payments, cloud, Smartphones, Tablets, Connected TV, Publishing, html5, App discovery and monetization, mobile advertising, connected home, connected car and more.
