| Goodbye, Telephony. Hello, Connected Planet |
| Written by Dave Burstein |

For the first issue, Carol writes about telemedicine, Sarah Reedy about smart grid, Ed Gubbins about the money in public safety, Kevin Fitchard about machine to machine wireless, and Rich Karpinski about Google voice and the virtual handset. Glad to see their bylines continue. |
Telephony, which has covered the industry since before I was born, is gone. Best of luck to Connected Planet, with many of the same writers. Editor-in-chief Carol Wilson is legendary for The Net Economy, which alas fell with the boom. She promises Connected Planet will offer "a new look at what the combination of IT and pervasive networking technologies can do to transform the way the world communicates, collaborates, shares/stores information, manages resources and is entertained and informed." She promises "in-depth features that look at where technology is succeeding and where it is being challenged."
