GlobalComm

June 3, 2006

See Globalcomm Digest for latest on Globalcomm

I am heading to Globalcomm tomorrow and wish I was flying on Jet Blue as they have recently won (AP, Reuters) the rights to provide WiFi in-flight. It is likely early to take advantage of the in-flight wireless broadband but I just can't wait for it to get started.

I am also super-excited about the
IMS party TMC is hosting with the IMS Forum. Thanks to Siemens as the party sponsor. It takes place Monday night and it is a can't miss event. It is walking distance from the convention center meaning no cab lines between you and the party. Registrations are pouring in and the list of attendees is the cream of the crop of the IMS and IP communications market.

To stay up on all that is happening at Globalcomm might I suggest you bookmark the
TMC Globalcomm News Snapshot page. Also you are welcome to sign up for a Globalcomm news alert that will send you an e-mail daily on any mention of Globalcomm in the news.

Market Strategy and Analytics Partners

June 3, 2006
You may recall David Yedwab as that articulate analyst that has spoken at past TMC events. Perhaps you have read some of his work. I recently was in touch with him and he told me he sis starting his own consulting business with Paul Robinson called Market Strategy and Analytics Partners, LLC. David said, "Our focus will be on marketing and sales strategy, business plan and case development across the converging infotainment industry."

I asked for details and this is what David sent:

Market Strategy and Analytics Partners' mission is to improve its clients - equipment and software providers, service providers and information intense enterprises - success by focusing on differentiating their offers and operationalizing that differentiation into executable and quantifiable success.

Talk about fitting lots of meaning into a few words. I didn't even know there was a word "operationalizing." ;)

If you are looking for some help along these lines, give David a call (908.879.2835, davidy@earthlink.net). If you want to hear him speak --check him out at an upcoming TMC event.

Get Human

I recently came across a very funny video clip that teaches callers how to get right to a live operator. It takes tips from a website called gethuman.com and you'll learn tips like mumbling, hitting zero repeatedly and other tips and tricks that may make your life as a customer a bit easier.
