I know I am late…I saw it a couple of days ago but I was too busy to blog it then. Last week, I was thinking how nice would it be to have some sort of interface to Skype so new applications can be developed on a platform with 12M users (I said something similar […]

Network Technology Paradigm Shift
Bob Shaw (from ITU) just did some presentation in Africa (focus on ENUM). But more importantly, I like what he said on Network Technology Shift, which is very similar to what I blog about last year. ITU-T Definition of NGN (Feb 2004) A Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packetbased network able to provide services […]
Impact on VoIP
A European study shows that more people are jumping onto VoIP. Over 50 million western European consumers with a broadband Internet connection at home may use telephony software and special phones by 2008, British research group Analysys found. “The impact on traditional telephony providers’ revenues could reach 6.4 billion euros in 2008, representing 13 percent […]
VoiceComm 2004
I was invited to attend VoiceComm 2004 which started today. Despite its grand sounding name, it is actually just a vendor (Cisco) 2 days seminar, well, with a few other Cisco customers talking about their IP Telephony experiences. Nevertheless, what is surprising is the number of people who turns out at the event. The keynote […]

Software Patents
The news that Linux potentially infringes 283 patents initiate a strong reaction from the OSS community. Actually, just look at some examples of software patents and you will see the most common algorithms like Quicksort (#5,175,857) and Random Number Generator (#5,251,165). So pardon me while I marvel : “Only 283 patents?” Some folks, like Richard […]
Personal iTunes server
I stay up last night to fiddle with something really cool : iTunes Server on Linux. Now, I can have all my MP3s on my Linux server streamed to my Mac & Windows (running iTunes). And rendezvous (or mDNS) is incredible. Fire up my iTunes and it automatically detected my “home jukebox” with my MP3s. […]
Happenings at WTSA
I totally screwed up on the IDN presentation yesterday. Jetlag hits me pretty badly so my brain is totally blanked out. I remember looking at the confused look at the audience and wanted to dig a hole right there. (I did much better on my IPv6 presentation which went very smoothly) Anyway, as I mention, […]
IP Telephony and ENUM
There is a APEC TEL NGN Brainstorming session this morning. I was one of the speaker for the session and did a presentation on IP Telephony and ENUM. Singapore also made a contribution on both IP Telephony and Spectrum management. Both my presentation and Singapore contribution was well-received by the participants and I got a […]
Internationalization and IDN
Today is the 2nd day of APEC TEL 30, which is hosted by IDA in Singapore. I spend my afternoon at a side event, organized by APDIP to soliciate feedbacks from AP region on Internet Governance issues as part of the WSIS process workings towards Tunis 2005. And I gave a presentation on my fav […]
