Marco Susani, Director Advanced Concepts Group at Motorola, had some interesting words on what he calls “Aura Networks” that captures succinctly the nature of networks that are more like social meteorology than the tinkertoy network graphs we're used to. It's not a new conversation on Susani's part. It's a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussions about what mobile communities “look like.” It's nice to have the actual audio of the presentation.
