Jeff Rodman of Polycom Keynotes ITEXPO East 2010

January 20, 2010

This post was stuck in my drafts folder -- sorry for the late post.

Here in Miami, at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Jeff Rodman is giving a keynote where he explains how crucial it is to link together technology in such a way that it becomes transparent to users. Moreover he explained how the definition of "Now" varies by person meaning different people are at different stages of life based on time of day, day of week and/or time zone. What cultural implications are there to communicating 24x7?

Check out the video below for details.

Skype Takes Share, Upgrades iPhone App

January 19, 2010

Skype is now the largest provider of cross border communications in the world, by far according to a new report from TeleGeography. According to the research company, the rate of international calling has been growing at a steady compounded rate of 15% but in the last few years the slope has decreased as a result of the recession and of course, people switching to Skype.

Beatriz Infante Joins Sonus Board - Will it Help?

January 14, 2010

One of the biggest names and of course controversial keynoters TMC has ever had has to be Al Gore who spoke at TMC's Communications Solutions show back in 2001. Just before Vice President Gore took the stage, Beatriz Infante, CEO of Aspect proceeded to give a riveting keynote. I paid as much attention as I could when she spoke but to be honest I was surrounded by secret servicemen and it was quite an usual and somewhat distracting experience.

I take you down this path through memory lane because today Sonus Networks added Beatriz to its board.

Tehrani at Winter Olympics

January 13, 2010

After ITEXPO in Miami next week, I come back home, witness TMC's move into a new headquarters, head back down to Miami for a bar Mitzvah and then finally head to the Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. While there I will get a chance to witness the Nortel/Avaya IP network which powers the games and I will also have a chance to see the many innovations associated with the event. Many are outlined in an excellent article by TMC's Brendan Read.

I am excited to be at the games - it is an opportunity not everyone gets and I look forward to watching as many of the events as possible and reporting on the happenings.
