The Big Deal about Big Data Analytics

By Peter Bernstein on Tuesday, Jun 18

By Greg Owens, Senior Director Customer Experience Solutions Marketing, Alcatel-Lucent

The rise of big data is causing service providers to ask some big questions: How should we store our data? How long should we keep it? What parts of it are relevant to our business? Most importantly, how do we get value from it? To turn big data into a big deal, service providers need to extract insights that can help them make smart business decisions and improve the customer experience.

The value of big data is all in what useful and actionable information it can provide. I find it exciting to see how service providers use big data analytics to gain new insights and solve complex problems. With this post, I’ll look at some new research by industry analysts and three key opportunities that big data analytics presents to service providers.

VoIP Developer Conference around the corner...

July 26, 2004

VoIP is hotter than ever with everyone and his brother looking to get a piece of the action. So just how do you get into VoIP? Most likely you are going to need to hire VoIP developers or become one yourself.

Well I have some good news for you if you are looking to educate yourself on developing VoIP applications. The VoIP Developer Conference is just around the corner (Aug 3-4th). This is the first time anyone has had a VoIP show strictly for developers.

It's located in San Jose, CA. (Silicon Valley) so there should be plenty of tech-heads filling the classrooms. If you haven't checked out this show, you should do so now.

Skype a security risk?

July 23, 2004

This article says that the ever-popular Skype has a security risk. Essentially, Dmitry Goroshevsky, founder-CEO of Popular Telephony, which has a server-less peer-to-peer VoIP software called Peerio, stated that Skype is a big security risk for corporate networks.

I'll have to investigate this some more, but for now, check out the article.

Voiceglo sweepstakes to win "one of this year’s hottest cars"

July 22, 2004

I just received a press release from Voiceglo that states: "Voiceglo... is encouraging people to ‘Talk It Up’ with friends and family this summer using Voiceglo’s free Internet phone, the GloPhone, and possibly win one of this year’s hottest cars in the process.

Hmmm, wonder what kind of car they're talking about? Is it a Dodge Viper?

My Favorite Disney GPS Coordinates

July 20, 2004

I promised awhile back (this Disney World blog entry), that I would post some GPS coordinates that I captured while down in Orlando, Florida. Someone trackbacked to my blog entry and reminded me that I hadn't posted the GPS coordinates as promised. Well, the time has come!

Disney World's Mission Space Ride

Before I give the GPS coordinates, check out this video I captured of EPCOT Mission Space.

iPod Nation article

July 20, 2004

I'm a huge fan of iPod. I've been dreaming about getting one for two Christmas's. Unfortunately, Santa (my wife) didn't fill my stocking with an iPod. : ( (She did buy me some cool accessories for my Viper though.)

Of course, I could just go out and buy one myself, but I decided to blow my cash on a Viper upgrades instead. Tough call. (not really.

The War on Terror (and spam and viruses)

July 19, 2004

We all know that terrorists make money via drug trafficking, prostitution and other shady dealings. I now have to wonder if terrorists are using the Internet to make money. There is a lot of money to be had on the Internet and the anonymity that it provides is the perfect shield for terrorists.

I have no doubt that they are making money on the Internet.

TV Remote Jammer

July 17, 2004

I was just reminiscing with some old friends and we talked about how this one time we played a prank on a friend when we were teenagers. One night, a couple friends and I snuck into the back yard of another friend of ours and we carried a TV remote control with us to attempt to change channels while the friend was watching TV.

Our friend was indeed watching TV and as luck would have it, we had a clear light of sight to the cable box. Ready!

Motorola MPx-Cell phone, PDA, MP3 Player, Camera, all-in-one

The Motorola MPx is one sweet device! I say device, because it can't be classified in one category, although "cell phone" category is the most critical feature. I guess "smart phone" device is the most applicable.

In any event, this smart phone features a large dual-hinge landscape and portrait color display (2.8” 240x320 TFT touch screen) with a built-in 1.2 megapixel camera, Windows Mobile software (PocketPC apps), a QWERTY keyboard, and continuous connectivity using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology.
