Actually I wasn’t at IETF. Instead, I went out to visit Lindows (aka Linspire) and SIPPhone.com who is based in UTC in San Diego. I met Michael Robertson about a couple of months ago in Singapore and this is basically a courtesy call to catch up on things. Michael is not in town unfortunately, but […]

Day 4 at IETF
Carrier ENUM is a disaster! Basically, I screwed up big time and failed to managed the time. Or perhaps I was stumbling (I notice I do that when I dont get enough sleep). Either way, what happened is that while we still taking strawpolls of requirements, before discussing next step, half of room suddenly stand […]
Day 2 at IETF
I found out I left my power adaptor in the airport lounge in LAX and now stuck here with a risk of power shortage :P Luckily, Andrew was kind enough to visit Frys1 with me yesterday and I got a new power adaptor. The bad news is the Frys only have this ridiculous looking adaptor […]
Day 1 at IETF
I am now at Sheraton in San Diego. The last time I was here is in 2000 for IETF #49. Nothing seem to change much but it appears almost everyone who is vacating in US is here in San Diego. I almost couldn’t get a hotel at all and have to stay at the Hilton […]
FCC Roundtable discussion on IP-based Services
FCC conducted a Global Roundtable discussion on IP-based services (basically just VoIP) 2 days ago (30th July) and the webcast is available online. (via Jeff Pulver). Yes, I sit infront of the computer for 2 hours and listen the whole webcast and here are some of my thoughts: 1. (Obvious) Take away: Regulation certainity is […]
Singapore-Los Angeles Long Haul on SQ20
This is the first time I took the 16th non-stop long haul Singapore-Los Angeles SQ20 flight. The plane is full but I dont feel cramped at all given the space they gave to each passenger. The Executive Economy seat (all travels are at economy now :p) is almost as good as the old Raffles Class. […]
Leaving for San Diego
I am posting this from the SIA Lounge waiting to fly to San Diego for IETF #60. The main purpose there is to organize a “Carrier ENUM” mini-BoF with Richard Stastny on Wed afternoon. Carrier ENUM aka known as Infrastructure ENUM or Operator ENUM is a new way we notice carriers and operators starting to […]
AT&T Callvantage again
I got AT&T Callvantage working now. Despite saying it is not able to registered my TA, apparently it works anyway (strange). I made some test call, including one to the AT&T service desk (a toll free number :-) and the sound quality is incredible clear! Woosh! I am impressed! :-) Anyway, my US number is […]
AT&T Callvantage
Phew! Just finish setting up my AT&T Callvantage, the new VoIP Voice Service. Actually I got the stuff on Monday but was too busy to do any setup until today. It isn’t difficult but I also took the opportunity to phase out my TV-PVR-DVD-Video-Stereo-Desktop Vaio I got from Japan 2 years ago. I also threw […]
Google in the 60s
This is why Google is the invention of the Internet :-) (via MrBrown)
