Who Thought of the New Popular Intellectual Property Conference for ITEXPO?

2012-03-09T17:42:16Z

How many times have you thought of a better way of doing something, but you were afraid to rock the boat, especially if you are not the boss? Who gets made fun of the most? Those who speak up or those who are quiet? Taking a chance is something I am notorious for. I met my husband Michael Bowen through Yahoo Personals in 2003 and my second business partner Rehan Allahwala through online international culture exchange forums in 1995. Many of my friends such as Noreen Rucinski are risk-taking idea people who charge ahead to make things happen. I remember her asking Mark Hewitt during ITEXPO West 2011 in Austin, "How come you don't do anything with patents and intellectual property at this event?"

And ... I admit I said, "No one cares about trademarks and patents. It is a whole new world out there full of open networks and open source."

Just four months later at the Miami Beach Convention Center, TMC enabled a SUITS Synopsis under IP/Patents Telecom Sourcing workshop and conference for the first time in February 2012. ;-)

Noreen Rucinski was one of thirty businesswomen who participated in the Women in Telecom and Technology Breakfast which was sponsored by 4GWE Summit at ITEXPO East, Xorcom.com, DIDX.net, and TheSIPSchool.com. We each, like Noreen does in the video, share ideas, experiences, and knowledge that often lead to lasting friendship and business development during and after meetup.

Nowadays, people will find Noreen Rucinski basically making companies better. Contact her on Linkedin, and be sure to send the women in your company to the next Women's Technology Breakfast at a conference near you.

The Women's Technology Breakfast, sometimes called Women in Telecom and Wireless or Women in Telecom and Technology, is a serendipitous, informal event that any ladies can put together. There is no patent for it. ;-) But it is a great opportunity for women to share success tips, hilarious stories, technical expertise, friendship and business development. Take a risk, set up your own ad hoc Women in Technology Breakfast and share the pictures and videos and knowledge with us and the world.

Mark Terry, Esq. on Intellectual Property and Telecom Sourcing

2012-01-25T23:50:27Z

Embarrassed that your company needs an intellectual property lawyer?
It is better to be embarrassed and still secure the services of a lawyer in cases where your company's intellectual property has been infringed upon or where your company has infringed upon another entity's intellectual property. After less than a twenty minute conversation with Mark Terry, a patent and trademark law attorney, I am convinced that there are thousands in the IP (Internet-Protocol) Communications industry who need to understand their legal rights and responsibilities in this area of law.

Readers are invited to listen to the recording of a conversation with Mark Terry, a recognized expert in patent and trademark law, Mark Terry is regularly featured in publications and journals.

The attorney is a presenter in three panels during ITEXPO East's SUITS conference which is all about . Registration and a complete listing of the presentations is available at http://itexpo.tmcnet.com/suits/east-12/agenda.aspx. SUITS stands for "Synapses Under Intellectual Protocol / Patents Telecom Sourcing."

When you contract with a company that utilizes independent contractors or directly with an independent contractor to create, revise, or manipulate software code, who owns that intellectual property? The buyer of the service who plans to use the code? The company who was contracted to provide software development? Or the individual developer who was sent to the buyer to fufill the job? Many will be shocked at Attorney Mark Terry's answer. (By the way, early in Mark's professional career, he was a software engineer.)

What happens when company A wants to buy company B, and B has software code that was created by an independent contractor? Sit back and think about how many 1000s of companies use Elance, Odesk, IdeaBounty, Fiverr and other sites that match companies with independent contractors for development of what is IP (not Internet Protocol in this case, but instead ... intellectual property)?

Does anyone think that just because an image is published online, that it is up for grabs? A common catastrophe! A business's web developers find the perfect picture on the Internet that perfectly convey the intended message on a web page. They add it. A year later, the company may receive a cease and desist later from a stock photo company who owns and a bill of hundreds if not thousands of dollars due. Uh oh. What to do?

What are non-practicing entities, and why do we all need to understand what they do and how they can affect a practicing entities' rights to the revenue from the practice?

When is an invention patent-able and / or trademark-able? Listen to the podcast for an great introduction and sign up now at http://itexpo.tmcnet.com/suits/east-12/agenda.aspx for invaluable education in patent, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property law. Bring your questions with you about your business situations.

Mark Terry has a popular intellectual property blog at http://floridapatentlawyer.blog.com, and the company's website is at http://terryfirm.com/. I send my thanks to Noreen Rucinski for introducing me to Mr. Terry. She is one of those in charge of the SUITS event at ITEXPO East 2012 in Miami Beach.

Caroline Gabriel, a Wise Woman in Wireless to Speak at 4G Latin America Conference

2011-12-12T22:29:40Z

My own trek from the fields of English instruction to technology innovation and content-sharing, in general, from my middle school teaching days of web editing, voice and video over Internet via Vocaltec's Internet phone and CU-SeeMe ... to co-founding Super Technologies and its CTO and co-owner Rehan Allahwala's inventions of Virtual Phone Line and DIDX ... to my current work with AstraQom in social and business media, networking, and industry and ethnically targeted services ... has made me an obsessive lifelong learner.

Of my newest studies and interests, the world of wireless and mobile technology stands tall. Why? I remember when no one I knew had a cell phone, and now, we all expect all of our devices to keep us wirelessly and remotely mobile and connected. A second interest of mine is finding and showcasing leading women in technology because they inspire me and there are so few of them.

I stumbled upon some research in an online paid subscription site called Rethink that is headed by expert Caroline Gabriel. Caroline is one of the proposed speakers for 4G Latin America Conference (a part of the 4G World set of global conferences that AstraQom and DIDX are a media partner for). Her team's analysis of global wireless news and technology keep readers informed. The history of, the current state of and the future of WIMAX, LTE, and mobile Internet are demystified. How standard practices are being supplanted or even superimposed, and all involved can stay abreast at Wireless Watch Rethink. Ms. Gabriel's leadership makes available the latest in service delivery, applications, charging models, and who to pay attention to among the global and local players and how they connect.

The Wireless Watch website has a great summary of the current state of wireless: "The result is that the battle lines for cellular wireless have never been more complex. Wi-Fi demonstrated the consumer need for flat rate services, 3G failed totally as cure-all broadband wireless, HSPA is now borrowing the flat rate approach in order to keep WiMAX at bay, while the cellular giants have accelerated LTE at breakneck speed to shut out previous OFDM formats."

In a December 12, 2011 article, Caroline discusses the frustration that AT&T and TMobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom over the US Department of Justice's wish to postpone the AT&T/TMo deal trial. There seems to be more than meets the eye that is actually counting on this deal and the sooner the better, even to combat the eurozone crisis!

Judge may think that AT&T are playing a strategy game, but AT&T lawyers plead that they are not.

On another note, remember, Meg Whitman, former eBay CEO is the new CEO and President of Hewlett-Packard, right? (I like HP laptops, but their printers seem so un-user friendly. I have screamed at every HP printer I have bought. Beside the point, I know.) Ms. Gabriel also shared on December 12th her thoughts on Hewlett-Packard's mobile OS move to open source ... into what she calls "commercial oblivion." She says that OS was why HP acquired Palm in the first place, the first mobile smart device I was introduced to. (My German fast runner friends Christian and Petra used them these little pens. I was impressed, but that was in 2004. I bought my first smartphone in 2007, a Nokia E61i, very cool device.) The webOS and app framework ENYO will be available under open source license freely available. HP says it will be an "active participant and investor" in the process, but so far doesn't offer details on how.

A bit more insight on Caroline Gabriel ... on Linkedin, she is a member of groups for Alvarion Ltd., Fundamental Tech Trading, Global Telecoms Business, LTE Focus, Rethinking TV, and The Open Patent Alliance. This reminds me to remind you that ITEXPO East colocated with 4GWE has a new component called SUITS Conference, produced and directed by TMC and Rucinski Enterprise, Inc. for the first time! Interested parties can submit their proposals, but the presentation program may be full.

AstraQom and DIDX are media partners for 4G Latin America, scheduled conference and exhibition on June 18-20, 2012 in Lima, Peru. The two are also a media partner for 4G Wireless Evolution in lovely Miami Beach, Florida from February 1-3, 2012. Be sure to have the ladies in your organization sign up for our Women in Wireless And Telecom Breakfast on Feb. 2 Thursday during 4GWE. Just contact me on Linkedin, or just RSVP them on the event listing there. Feel free to visit and sign up to participate in both conferences now.

More audio, video and text media, by me Suzanne Bowen and others I work with, include information about wireless and mobile are on Youtube, AstraQom, Viddler, DIDX and TMC. Contact me to schedule an interview with your company expert about wireless, mobile, unified or rich communications, social media and networks and applications ... both monetized and nonprofit activities we would like to showcase.

Gen Y Twenty Somethings and Virtual Worlds

2011-09-19T17:52:45Z

Finally, I'm following up on behalf of AstraQom.com today regarding Avaya's Technology on Tap presentations and reception during ITEXPO West 2011 in Austin, Texas! This is number one of several posts I'll share with readers. I haven't missed Avaya DevConnect's gathering at ITEXPOs in the past four years. It is usually the night before the first day of the Expo, a great way to mix, learn, and socialize among the innovators at Avaya and many who do business with them at the beginning of the conference.

One comment that echoes among my neurons is that of Avaya's Chris Lync: "3D visuals, avatars, and virtual worlds are second nature to millenials (also known as Generation Y)." In fact, ReadWriteWeb site notes that the number of users registered for virtual world sites broke the 1 billion mark during the third quarter of this year 2010, and half of them are under the age of 15.

Stop and think on that. Talk to your peers, your children, your professors, and anyone else who will mull that over with you and list the possible and real implications for business, society, politics, and any facet of life.

The article continues with ... "the most popular virtual world for persons under 15 is Stardoll (world's largest online fashion and dress up games for girls) with 69 million registered users." There is also a huge list of Fashion Makeover Games at GirlsGoGames and some ... yes, virtual or 3D in nature.

What do you think of that? Any problems with that? Any brainstorms of how to serve these Millennials who are ages 15-30 and who are so comfortable with virtual worlds and experiencing the world much differently than 2011 business decision-makers?

Research projects, job interviews, and even embassies are created or completed using virtual worlds. Open University has used virtual worlds for researching, teaching and learning. For example, it has two main islands in Second Life, Open University island and OUtopia village, separated by a third area of Open University Ocean." In 2009, it served as fulcrum and foundation of a case study completed by Linden Lab who own Second Life.

So platforms such as Second Life, Avaya web.alive, Habbo (230 million enrolled) BlueMars, Meez, Whyville, and many video games are a commonplace activity for a growing number of people.

Use of Virtual Worlds can add an attention-getting dimension to public presentations. Throw in an avatar of one's self ... lets the audience feel more surrounded and immersed in a message. This is exactly what Chris Lync did during his 'show and tell' at Avaya's Technology on Tap using web.alive. What people do not realize is that exciting brands can be built and grown within 3D environments with much less competition than in traditional company image-making. The increase in the ease of building "things" in virtual worlds can help even left-brained thinkers.

These are just a few advantages offered by immersive worlds, and as more people sign up to use them, more will discover and share even more ways the technology can help them and the organizations they are a part of.

Want more? Watch a video that provides an introduction of Avaya web.alive.

Listen to an audio podcast interview I completed with Julie Fogg of ActivePort who is an avid proponent and user of virtual worlds.

Help ITEXPO West Keep Austin Weird and Wonderful

2011-09-03T14:59:17Z

I thought New Orleans is the eclectic city, my favorite place to feel history, go artsy, and dance like a maniac. The Big Easy does have the funky hip aura and plenty of humidity to keep your skin young feeling. But Austin? Austin is cowboy culture, but it's not redneck. Like are vegetarians not welcome? They are, but if you love beef, you are in heaven. And do I like country music? Yes, as long as I can choose the country.

In Austin, you'll find the best from Latin to Tex-Mex (rancheros and cumbias), rock and roll, American country to folk, blues and more.
You must visit 6th Street. It is the main party street in Austin, the place to see and be seen. It's right alongside the University of Texas campus and the Texas State Capitol building. Darn near every restaurant chain in the universe has a franchise in Austin, but do yourself a favor and savor the locally owned places. Let's keep Austin weird! :-D

Speaking of that, you must get t-shirts for everyone back home with 'Keep Austin weird' on it. I have one. Austin defines 'weird' as the patronage of the locally owned businesses, especially in the midst of the increase of 'McDonaldficationism' in the lovely city.

Round Rock Donuts is an experience you don't want to miss, but first run a 1/2 marathon. It is about 20 miles from the Austin Convention Center in Round Rock at 16 W. Liberty Street. Fantastic doughnuts of all sizes and flavors, but my husband's favorite is the one that was as big as a 33 rpm (long play record) or one of them is the same as 6-8 standard-sized doughnuts. Another great tummy filler is the Salt Lick BBQ near the Dell Field ball park on 3350 Palm Valley Blvd in Round Rock. They offer family style dining with all you can eat barbeque platter including sausage, ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and shredded beef. They also let you order single serving platters or sandwiches if your appetite isn't that big or you're making up for yesterday's caloric indulgences.

And ... you must try the chicken-fried steak at any local restaurant. I found another food that deserves the title 'Ambrosia.' Do it once, take a picture, and upload to your favorite social network.

An episode of Man vs. Food about Austin, Texas food scene is on Travel Channel right now, Sept. 3, 2011 at 9 AM CST, but do a search on Man vs. Food if you missed it.

How about the traffic? Hey, it's a big city. Highways are crowded. Be prepared to use Frontage Roads, and GPS is your friend. The local bus system is called Capital Metro. The 20-year transit plan for the system includes expanded local and express bus service, new rapid bus service, and a 32-mile urban commuter rail starter line along Capital Metro's existing freight tracks, as well as access to land next to the tracks to create hike and bike trails. My husband ran some of those trails in the Northeast area of Austin. It was a little hilly, but nice sidewalks and trails that would be perfect in his opinon for the total package.

What are some of the favorite IP communications and technology businesses, headquartered in Austin? Starview Solutions is one, and it is one of the sponsors of StartupCamp4 during ITEXPO West in Austin 2011. I met them during a Telecom One on One event. Another is Spiceworks who I remember meeting at a previous ITEXPO. I still have that cool 'Keeping it Spicy' t-shirt that I traded two DIDX bling bling mobile phone pouches. Spiceworks, BTW, is written in Ruby on Rails, and runs on Microsoft Windows.

One last comment ... companies participating in ITEXPO West Sept. 13, - 15, 2011 in Austin, Texas ... have your ladies RSVP for the Women in Telecom and Tech Breakfast. The seats are filling fast. Many thanks to Xorcom of Australia, AstraQom of Canada, The SIP School of UK, and DIDX of USA for sponsoring the event. Inquiries about sponsoring or participating in the breakfast can go to me on Linkedin or Twitter. Thanks so much to TMCNET for also publicizing this meetup.

Wow, Ruckus Wireless is Everywhere ... even Convergence India

2011-05-19T18:23:45Z

Want to have more opportunities to find ways to monetize your IP communications? Participate as actively as possible in conferences and exhibitions that put you in directly in contact with people and organizations that will complement your business growth and reputation.
A great example of a company who does this well is Ruckus Wireless who was even at Convergence India that took place in New Delhi, India in March 2011. They are everywhere ... like I know we will see them at CommunicAsia and other conferences we partner with which are listed at http://www.techistan.com/events. I remember recording a short video talk with their Michael Paparella.

Our DIDX wholesale DID marketplace and Techistan media services are always media partner there. My colleague Yahya Sabir took over 100 pictures. Since most of the visitors to this blog probably didn't get to participate in this particular conference, I'm sharing a slide show of pictures from the event.

If you see anyone you know, I welcome you to tag with the names. Comments are cool, too.

Pros and Cons of an App or Device that Reads My Mind

2010-06-14T13:46:12Z

Why doesn't Suzanne Bowen blog more? Here's my answer. I'm in the trenches with 1000s of telecom service providers in over 170 nations working with them to get customers, please them, keep them and perhaps get acquired. I think and dream often of what to blog about, and the only way I could post is if a smart phone or other device had an app that could transcribe my thoughts immediately upon any crazy epiphany I have at any given moment.

Wouldn't that be great?

Wait, wait, I don't want that! I don't want a machine reading my mind. How could I trust it to not share what I don't want to shared and for it to leave out the occasional cuss word and my other thoughts of societal indiscretions and faux pas?

Neural science ... with fascination I listened to 100s of neural scientists talking after the last CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas 2010. In no way, could I be a productive part of the conversations, but they made me wonder... Smart technology ...

Shower April with Some IP Communications Events Please

2010-04-14T14:10:48Z

For some reason, March, May and October are slam-packed full in the East and West with IP communications-related conferences; whereas, April, July, August, and December are almost empty. The company who pays me once per month is Super Technologies (a mult-national group with multi-national vendors and customers in the IP communications, social networking, medical and media spaces), and either DIDXchange is a supporting organization sponsor or media partner OR our Techistan is a press/media partner at some the most inspiring conferences in both areas of the world.

So, let me share with you a few in the East during April 2010, a slow month for the West. Believe me, if you have a cell phone or device that lets you insert a SIM card, you'll stay connected more cheaply than in the West.

COMNET'10 and IT EXPO is scheduled April 16-17, 2010 in Karachi, Pakistan at the Usman Institute of Technology. I've been to Pakistan many times and to Usman IT a few times. It's a colorful nation of women in beautiful sparkly shalwar kameez, entrepreneurs on every street, traffic that is somewhat like an ad hoc ballet where everyone seems to know how to move perfectly. The last time I was in Pakistan, I took a train ride from Karachi to Islamabad and visited in between Multan, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Peshawar, Lahore and many smaller cities and villages to meet with every wiress/mobile operator and PSTN carrier I could. Lovely memories, excellent business to this day. The Ahmeds, Masoods, and others were great hosts!

WiMAX 2010 New Delhi, India is sheduled April 23, 2010. I've never been to New Delhi but did go to Mumbai around 2000 when I gave a workshop on the empowerment of an ATA that let businesses and individuals dial up to the Internet and talk (voice over dialup ;-). Amin Merchant was a great host. Our company has some of the same lovely customers from 2000 and more and we have some great Super Technologies' team members in the area. Hello Yahya and guys!

3rd TeleCon 2010 is scheduled at the beautiful Pearl Continental Hotel in Lahore, Pakistan. The Pearl is breathtaking. Lahore is headquarters for several remote offices of huge companies that have headquarters in China, USA, UAE, Kenya, Australia and more. Hello Arslaan!

Check http://www.didx.net/events for other conferences and tradeshows we partner with the goal to share the best ways to network, develop business, learn and teach each other in the IP communications industry. Think, too ... IP communications is behind almost everything we do and is capable of so much more.
