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

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)
Back from ICANN…
I feel quite bad to controdiact Vint Cerf in the open forum but my comment that whether to have IDN Top Level Domain is an ICANN issues and not IETF was well-received with an applause from the audience. So I am really glad that ICANN board passing the resolution to form a new President committee […]
