Nick,

Congratulations on the launch of your book "Mesh Collaboration". I like to commend you on initializing the centralization and collaboration of global IP devices to bring Value added services that spans multiple companies and enables new business models.

It is more than half a decade now since the Mobile industry is trying to create a centralized and standardized device repository in order to innovate, launch and deliver value added services to now 2,5 billion plus devices. Although we have come a long way in terms of managing mobile devices, the challenges we face in terms of collaboration (read interopeability) and standardization are enormous. Recently, we raised the bar by adding Broadband wireless and converged devices to the basket of globally networked devices.

Now listening to your video and in near future reading your book, nothing can stop me from wondering how Cisco plans to and will achieve centralization and creation of a platform for managing and using (for business benefits)networked IP devices. What industry standards will you join forces with, which innovative ideas will you build to transcend non-IP and non-Cisco devices (mobile phones for example) and finally how will you enable businesses and your customers to collaborate across devices in the semi-globalized world?

I will be very pleased to hear from you on how to create bridge head between the devices and business processes. Also, I will be pleased to share some of my experience in Mobile industry, Internetworking industry (for Cisco if I may say) and applications industry (i.e. SAP Netweaver).

Hope to stay in touch and best wishes in your leadership endeavour at Cisco.

Regards,
Kaushik
