About Gary Kim (garykim):

Gary Kim has been writing about communications for nearly 30 years and recently was cited by Forbes as a global "Power Mobile Influencer"; in fact, was ranked number two globally on that score.
Carrier Evolution is about the business application of technology; new revenue sources and applications. I sometimes find that a bit odd, as I started out wanting to write about technology. These days, it seems more important to understand how technology enables new business models and revenues.
Some of the sites I work on are traditional "media" sites, while the fastest-growing part of my work is custom content produced for firms who generally sell communications software, hardware or services. That fits with a theory I've had that virtually every significant company is becoming a "publisher" or "media" source.
"Carrier Evolution" has been the foremost example of that trend.
I have been a communications industry analyst, commentator and journalist since 1983, though these days most people might argue I am more "analyst" and less "journalist."
From time to time I take a break from media and have worked as an industry analyst or helped found start-ups in the CLEC and streaming media spaces, for example.
I am co-chairing the annual Pacific Telecommunications Council conference. and chairiing the Mobile Payments Conference.
I graduated from the University of Oregon with degrees in history and management and am a member of Mensa, the international organization for people with IQs in the top two percent, and typically split my time between Northern Virginia and Denver, Colorado.
