Nortel and Huawei

June 16, 2006

Here is the latest on Nortel and Huawei and how they may work together going forward. This is after they killed a joint venture. I am still wondering why Huawei is not making a bigger splash in the US. They seem to be threatening to come to the states in a bigger way but they just don’t seem to pull the trigger.

Moby on Net Neutrality

May 20, 2006

I am a big Moby fan. Perhaps you are as well. I think he may even live in Darien, CT the next town over from TMC’s offices in Norwalk. If you aren’t aware, Moby produces primarily dance/techno music and at one point annoyed artist Eminem so much that Eminem decided to tell Moby that nobody listened to techno on one of his hit records.

Here is the Internet News story about net Neutrality and Moby.

Verizon Convoy

May 19, 2006

Yesterday I was driving and saw a convoy of Verizon trucks. For some reason I thought this was funny and had to take a photo of it without killing myself or the other drivers. I wonder what a good caption for this picture would be.

Any Ideas?

Houston WiFi

May 19, 2006

Houston has released a draft for city-wide WiFi according to Save Muni Wireless. Here are some interesting details from the blog entry: The City's vision is to apply ubiquitous, low-cost wireless Internet access as a foundation for the City of Houston to become the most efficient, effective and responsive city government in the nation—while stimulating economic development and promoting digital inclusion for low-income and disadvantaged residents. One remarkable part of this proposal is that it explicitly embraces the concept of "net neutrality". The City will require that the operator open up the network to wholesale service, which would allow any ISP to participate. Chalk that up to another exciting innovation that's being driven by muni networks. It would seem that in the long run, service providers will see more and more competition from the cities.

Asia Telecom M&A

May 2, 2006

I while back I wrote about the M&A market in telecom and I didn't factor in the Asian players into my analysis. So in order to be balanced, I decided to get a perspective from someone who is intimately involved in the telecom market and who works for UT Starcom, a major Chinese telecom equipment provider. Farshid Mohammadi is a VoIP and IMS industry icon and couldn't be better positioned to tell us where the Chinese/Asian telecom players fit into the overall mix.

Here are his comments:

An interesting phenomena is happening. The Asian vendors who have been the beneficiary of more cost effective labor and manufacturing are finding that to succeed in international markets in any significant way, they would have to staff up in their beachhead markets.

TMCnet breaks One Million Unique Visitors

May 1, 2006

I just landed and checked e-mail and one of the first messages I saw is that TMCnet broke one million filtered unique visitors in the month of April 2006.

I was really hoping April would be the month we reached this goal.

I have to thank you once again for visiting TMCnet and helping us achieve this goal. By the way the official number is 1,053,840.

We have two more goals. One is Alexa of 1,000 -- which would put TMCnet in the top 1,000 sites in the entire world. We are currently ranked 1,387 so we are close.
