This year the theme is the Battle for the Mobile Internet, covering the expected shakeup resulting from the FCC’s Auction 73 of the 700 MHz piece of the spectrum.  Google has already made its move to bid, as well as AT&T, cable companies, and even pure investment organizations.  It’s going to be a bit of the Wild West out there in only a few months time. The wireless landscape may change permanently.

In past years, we have had judges and observers from Gartner, Yankee Group, Microsoft, Google, Intel, Orange, IDC and others. You can click onto the war game section of our website and see five-minute clips of similar war games we have run between Harvard and MIT, as well as with the London Business School (http://www.fuld.com/Services/HMLWG0607.html ).   Past events have been cited by The Economist, Business Week, CNET, and others.  Most important, these war games have all proved prescient, predicting market activity a half a year to year ahead.

This year we have added two more schools to the mix:  Kellogg and Chicago GSB will join MIT & Harvard in this war game.
