Previous Pause Next

Here issome good blog reporting from Al Bredenberg. I am very impressed with the FCC’s stance on broadband wireless. If they can help get this market off the ground, we will have a viable competitor for broadband access besides ILECS and cable companies. This is exactly what they should be doing.

February 13, 2005

Teleo is a new VoIP company that wants to bridge the desktop with the tools mobile professionals use today. They will be announcing their strategy at demo this week.

Grammys

February 13, 2005

If you think society hasn’t been changed forever by the Internet you didn’t see the Grammys tonight. I just witnessed a montage of multitasked songs from Maroon 5 and other bands (I am so unhip, I didn’t know the others). The songs were actually interlaced, meaning a song went on for a minute and then another band started up and another band played in-between the spaces in the other bands singing and so on.

10 years ago everyone would have changed the channel. Today, probably most of the audience was on their laptops or reading or eating or conversing or whatever we all do now since we are so used to getting input from multiple sources at once.

This national ADD is contagious and it is going worldwide.

Offshore Web Hosting

February 13, 2005

Amazingly I received a Spam message that mentioned offshore web hosting today. Something I never even thought of but a logical move in an interconnected world. You would probably would want to have a backup server located overseas anyway and one would think this is the next frontier for India.

SIPconnect

February 13, 2005

I’ve known Broadsoft’s Scott Wharton for years and after a good while discussing Broadsoft’s development of sophisticated hosting platforms, our conversations have transitioned from technology and applications to deployment. In the last few weeks for example the following customers were announced by Broadsoft:

Cbeyond, McLeodUSA, iiNET, and XO Communications.

These are some impressive wins. In addition to selling product the company has been busy trying to get the industry to rally around specs to interconnect CPE equipment with hosted services.

Evan Koblentz on TV

February 13, 2005

So I’m watching TV this morning and listening to the reporter talk about vintage computers and how they are going for at auction. Being the geek that I am I had to listen further. A few minutes into the BusinessWeek program they introduce none other than Evan Koblentz, the editor of a weekly newsletter on vintage computers.

Evan was the first ever TMC Labs Engineer Tom Keating, the Labs founder ever hired. TMC Labs was the first in-house testing lab in a publishing company focusing on communications.
