The solution: For a few billion dollars, Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) could get into the phone business itself, buying the spectrum it needs to offer not just voice service for all those iPhone users, but to build the broadband wireless links it needs to offer next generation, network-centric computing, communications and entertainment.
That's because the iPhone's severe design isn't about aesthetics: it's a solution to the very modern problem of how to combine computing, communications and mobility in a single device, says Mark Rolston, chief creative officer at Frog Design, which has worked on projects from Logitech devices to online services for Blockbuster (nyse: BBI - news - people ).
These platform technologies will leverage advances in control systems and process engineering, big data and cloud computing, broadband communications, and cybersecurity.
Right now, important new products in chips, communications, computing and consumer goods are on the drawing board.
Customers consist of original equipment manufacturers, original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and distributors who serve numerous end-markets, including communications, computing, industrial, consumer electronics, automotive, and education.
They are a generation inherently flexible and dynamic, coming of age steeped in reflexes naturally attuned to the unprecedented amplifying power that modern communications and computing technology now offers.

Sun will contribute Java and a related technology called Jini that allows mobile computing devices to set up communications channels with other networked appliances and servers.
He has worked for the UK government and currently advises several FTSE 100 companies about issues including cybersecurity, covert communications and forensic computing through the consultancy Charteris where he is chief technology officer.
The trend has accelerated as startups can be formed more quickly and with less cash today, thanks to the Internet, mobile communications and cloud computing that make it possible to flip the switch on and get going.
FORBES: All It Takes Is A Smile And A Hug To Jump-Start NY Tech
Instead of talking about cars, these geeks were showing off their aptitude in technology, talking about things like cloud computing, network security and advanced communications systems.
FORBES: Influx of Nerds Changes Tenor of Auto Industry's Summer Camp
But now that the Internet has made communications--rather than computing--the tech industry's growth engine, tech entrepreneurs are starting to tune in.
What this all means is that IT security has become the fourth leg of the computing stool, supplementing computation, storage and communications.
FORBES: Investing Opportunity: Prepping For Cyber Pearl Harbor
The primary reason the United States led in aerospace, communications technology, information technology, computing and the major new energy technologies of the later 20th century (gas turbines, nuclear, wind and solar power) is because the U.S. government made a series of smart investments on the cutting edge of each of these technology fields to catalyze entrepreneurship and innovation.
Lazaridis identified what he sees as three distinct product categories: communications devices like the BlackBerry, mobile computing platforms like the PlayBook and smartphones.
Recently, parallel architectures utilized by computer graphics firms like Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia actually do run certain tasks at the same time, using multiple buses (communications pathways) that lead to separate computing engines.
The iPad is not about productivity benefits (the sales pitch for most PCs and laptops) nor communications benefits (the sales pitch for most mobile computing gadgets).
FORBES: We Have Seen The Amazing Future Of Apple's iPad And This Is It
The tablet serves lifestyle computing uses just as well as business tasks with its package of communications and entertainment features: HD display, front and rear-facing cameras for video conferencing and uploading photos, noise canceling microphones, HDMI port and wireless video streaming.
In his written testimony, Salgado notes that the 1986 ECPA (Electronic Communications Privacy Act) doesn't reflect the internet circa 2013, noting how cloud computing has increased the amount of user information shared and stored online.
