Experts in a variety of fields came together with one common goal: ensure that no matter who was producing the technology, it would inter-operate and be more accessible for consumers. As a result, global connectivity expanded in ways we never imagined. </p> <div class="related-links" data-hide-offset="-10" data-hide="10"> <div class="link" data-show="up"> <div><img
