ILTA - A Surge in Disruptive Communications Technologies - Interview with Dean Leung

Communication is the imparting or exchange of information, and technology has transformed these exchanges, making them easier, more collaborative and increasingly dynamic. However, not all communications technologies are adopted quickly, and some never make it to the floor. Some of those that have taken off have been dubbed "disruptive," i.e., they've created a new market and affected or displaced earlier technology. What disruptive communications technologies have landed in legal, and what additional changes can we expect? ILTA interviewed thought leaders from the member and vendor communities to get their insight in this area.
