The CTIA Wireless 2010 conference recently wrapped up in Las Vegas and already there’s been a lot of great, substantive discussion about the themes presented, from the smartphone revolution to the debates raging about WiMAX vs. LTE.

Towerstream’s Chief Revenue Officer Mel Yarbrough was there to speak on a FierceWireless panel addressing “How to Differentiate Your 4G Data Offering,” which covered the differences between 4G and 3G and the role that applications, devices, and network coverage will play in the upcoming future. Mel will be contributing a guest blog post with some of his thoughts from the conference, as well as top trends and insights and we look forward to hearing his wrap-up.

In the meantime, I’d like to share an interview with Mel that was conducted on the floor of CTIA by Dan Jones, Site Editor of Light Reading Mobile. In this interview, Mel and Dan talk about LTE, our recent announcement to acquire Sparkplug, and the effects of the Broadband Plan.
