The 2022 Globecom event theme, “Accelerating the digital transformation…” seems redundant. Large parts of our global society rely upon desktop and portable computation for major percentages of day-to-day activities from work to hobbies to entertainment to daily necessities like shopping for needed supplies and paying for utilities. There are more mobile phone subscriptions in the world than there are people and there is a saturated percentage of those subscriptions associated with smartphones. We walk around with digital Bluetooth earbuds, pay with digital credit cards, and speak on digital phone lines. Even “analog” industries like those of the automobile are digital—major automotive supply shortages in the last year are due to inadequate capacity in the digital supply chain!  So, what in the world do we need to accelerate when it is obvious to even the casual user that we are already there!  Maybe we are not there yet—some things remain to be transformed or are only beginning to “scratch the surface”.  This talk will explore territory we still need to transform—we have an internet of things but the data from disparate systems (e.g. parking management and traffic flow) is not used in a single management system. Accomplishing automated driving and management of transportation is still years away. We use computers to educate, but what more could we do with interactive holographics? And all the while we admire our excellent computation and communications systems while large portions of the world, and even large portions of sophisticated and rich societies go unserved. Digitizing farming, for example, awaits our ability to provide adequate coverage for large-scale rural geography. And managing each of these means moving to ever-smarter communications with high-performance, and flexible programmable networks.  I will conclude with how we need to work together to drive this innovation and work to ensure it is working as expected, in a sustainable manner, and with the highest possible level of security.
