A three-day conference dedicated to everything telecom — from the future of telephony and SMS in the era of social media to Android to the GSMA’s IPX private network — will be held in Mountain View, Calif., next month, from March 12-14. Kicking off the first day of eComm will be Jonathan Christensen, general manager of audio and video for Skype; Google’s VP of wireless, Rich Miner, will open Day Two.
