It is apparent throughout the Center that we are masterful students. Everyone is hard at work on the Accenture Challenge, discussing study methods for our upcoming finals in 2 weeks, and polishing up the last assignments to be handed in for grading.

I hope to see everyone around next semester. Hang tight, work hard through these last few weeks, and bring it hard to the finish!

Boo-ya!

Despite the current state of the economy investment the interest in wireless broadband technologies (i.e. WiMAX and LTE) has increased. The total number of WiMAX subscribers is up to approx 4 million at the end of June 2009, up 74% from last year.

This shows the importance of broadband and the benefits of a system that provides broadband in a cost effective way to those in rural areas.

We are learning to think of ourselves as a brand. Therefore we should market our personal brand in order for employers to consume the product that is our work.
