REDMOND, Wash.-Microsoft Corp. announced it combined its Network Service Provider and Mobile Devices business divisions, and that Microsoft veteran Peter Knook will head the effort.
Knook said the newly combined division will work to take advantage of data-intensive devices and focus on wireless carriers.
“The overlap with devices and carriers is where the next opportunity lies,” he said. “From my experience working with network service providers, their market growth will come from more data-oriented devices versus voice-only, and the synergies between the NSP Group and Mobile Devices will help us realize our vision of making great software and services available for a broad range of service providers and mobile customers.”
