WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A look at how the wireless industry is taking action to protect the environment, a conversation with Verizon Communications Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg about how high-speed wireless services are changing the communications landscape, and an anonymous texting tip-line that enables citizens to help police solve crime in Boston, are all featured segments in this month's "Wonder of Wireless" (WOW) webcast, produced by CTIA-The Wireless Association®. The webcast is now available for viewing and includes several video segments that highlight a variety of wireless related topics involving the mobile enterprise, emergency rescues, significant public policy milestones, and much more.

Specifically, this month's webcast highlights a one-on-one "Insider Interview" with Seidenberg, who shares his definition of mobile life, explains the fallacy of the '100% ceiling' theory of wireless, discusses the fantastic growth potential of wireless in numerous industry sectors, and much more.

There is an increasingly greater awareness throughout the wireless industry of the need to develop more environmentally-sensitive products, services, and systems. The "Wireless at Work" segment of the May WOW webcast features some innovative examples of efforts within the wireless industry to help increase efficiency and sustainability in the mobile environment.

The "Wireless Lifesaver" story highlights the innovative "Text-a-Tip" program in Boston that enables citizens to report suspicious behavior and pass along critical information through anonymous text messages to police in an effort to stop crime and keep the city safer. And, the WOW "Policy Point" addresses the important issue of Enhanced 911 (E-911) and the need to ensure America's emergency communications systems are reliable and robust through the proper allocation of state E-911 funds.
