Global leaders in wireless are here in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, the gathering place for top-of-mind topics like architecting and building cloud-based service and IoT offerings – all while positioning for the inevitable shift to 5G.

Cisco is here, showing off new technologies and solution capabilities, 5G offerings, demonstrations, and (my favorite part!) new customers.

It’s all about building a transformative architecture and strategy that makes it easy to simplify, automate and virtualize today’s dynamic workflows. And, even though full 5G standardization is probably a few years out, it makes sense to start getting ready now. It’s a to-do list that contains things like building a unified enablement platform that ties together access, transport, core, and services, with end-to-end open automation, management, orchestration, and security.

If that sounds like a mouthful, it is — and it’s just some of what we bring to the table for service providers, which  only Cisco can deliver.

If you’re at MWC, we’d love to show you around. We’ve organized everything into zones this year — from automating IP transport for 5G readiness, to creating IoT, mobile video and business services, and of course, securing it all.  You’ll also see transformative transportation, connected UX, and an immersive, smart city environment

Establishing a equal base level of security will ensure that when automation takes over, people out of a job will not be left behind. Consider for a moment that from this day forward, on the first day of every month, around $1,000 is deposited into your bank account —  because you are a citizen . This income is independent of every other source of income and guarantees you a monthly starting salary above  the poverty line  for the rest of your life. What do you do? Possibly of more importance, what  don’t  you do? How does this firm foundation of economic security and  positive freedom  affect your present and future decisions, from the work you choose to the relationships you maintain, to the risks you take? The idea is called  unconditional or universal basic income, or UBI . It’s like social security for all, and it’s taking root within minds aro

Pluto Reclassification

I N BRIEF In 2006, the planet known as Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf world. Over a decade later, this error is finally being corrected by astronomers. Welcome to a solar system that, once again, has nine planets. Today is a historic day—one that will bring joy to the hundreds of millions of Pluto lovers around the globe. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the body that is responsible for naming and classifying objects in the cosmos, has just announced that Pluto has been reclassified as a major planet. Image credit: Quark Tees That’s right, the little dwarf will be rejoining the ranks of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Planet-X (the planet that will surely spell doom for all humanity). As many of you know, in 2006, the IAU made their  infamous vote, deciding to demote  everyone’s favorite planet to a “dwarf planet.” Their reasoning was that too many people would confuse Pluto (the doggy of Disney fame) with Pluto (the pl
