eComm 2008 - Day Three


My battery is empty and memory is full. Some of the best were arranged for last.
Most of the afternoon was with a great panel exploring where the next wave of wireless innovation will come from. Quite a few still banking on Android, while others claimed nothing until you had something to take to the bank. […]

eComm 2008 - The First Day


Internet connectivity has been scarce so I am going to be brief, that and there are quite a few other bloggers covering the conference.
I missed the first half of the day, of which one person summed up as “the phone is dead, long live the phone.” So far the schedule is intense, but not the […]

The n Dimensions of NN


I hate the term Network Neutrality. It has to much emotional baggage and tries to make it a binary issue. I wish it were that simple because it personally stirs my emotions and I would love a simple switch to flip and make the problem go away. I bring the topic up again as the […]

Next, one of my favorite blogs, Chaotica, has recently been reinvigorated by analyst James Enck. And the overt act, well this wonderful cartoon from my cubical neighbor […]

FMC: Mixing the Right Blend of What?


I was flipping through my latest copy of America Telecommunications when I almost overlooked yet another article on Fixed Mobile Convergence - the hype is starting to bore me. I stopped only because the call out quote seemed too cynical for traditional marketing spin. Don’t get to excited, not despite his tries, the author was […]

Red carpet to my kernel


Now that I have been listed as a blog to watch by the mega “A” list telecom blogger Martin Geddes of Telepocalypse, I feel obligated to produce some profound essay that will alter the landscape. Seems that I have shown up with only a simple hand spade, so let me plant some seeds and see […]
