A brief post to congratulate Dr. Mike Short for being awarded the CBE in the recent Queens Birthday Honours list for services to the Mobile industry. Dr. Short is currently VP of Telefonica Europe and has racked up an impressive list of past achievements in Mobile;Director of Cellnet, VP of Technology O2, Chairman of the GSMA, WAP Forum/OMA Board member, served on many UK Government mobile-related boards/task forces/Councils to name but a few.
Along with his many other activities Dr. Short also somehow finds time to be the President of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). Two weeks ago I attended the IET Berkshire Annual Mobile Telecommunication Lecture where Dr. Short spoke on the "Internet of Things". It was a very interesting lecture that taught me a few new things, and I was fortunate to be able to briefly talk to Dr. Short afterwards.
So, big congratulations to Dr. Mike Short, Commander of the Order of the British Empire!
