Notes and musings from the CTIA wireless show   30 Mar 2007 20:46 GMT
There's more entertainment than ever on cell phones, but oddly enough, some of the flash was gone from the CTIA Wireless trade show this year. No rappers at the keynote sessions. Even the barely relevant sports stars that CTIA President and CEO (and ex-football star) Steve Largent used to bring in were absent.

TV and music was all the carriers and content providers could talk about this year, yet who were the special guests? Former presidents Bush and Clinton. Maybe the cellular people figure they've already earned their pop credentials by now.
