3:20pm -- Schmidt is talking about general technology issues to start -- but he picks up with a focus on mobile technology (the cellphone). It's interesting that Schmidt takes up his first focus as mobile technology -- like he has done many times before at quarterly conference calls and other investor conferences.
3:25pm -- Schmidt is talking about the prevalence of mobile technology and switches to how broadband is now becoming just as prevalent. He's interplaying the billions of mobile phone subscribers globally along with how broadband technology is now encompassing the mobile networks (HSDPA and EV-DO -- and beyond).
3:32pm -- the increasing number of data centers is now on Schmidt's lap as he talks steadily about how much data -- and how fast -- can be pumped to users anywhere around the world. TV, internet, fixed phone and mobile are the "four" things that most consumers will need now and in the short future. How do you find all the stuff you need on those mediums? Search, of course.
