In an electronic text communication media, much of the facial and vocal expression are not immediately obvious. The way you say “You sux” with the appropriate facial expression could be meaning apart. It is not surprising that people dont communicate as well as they think on email.

CommunicAsia Day 2
Plenty of meetings today, almost back to back, scheduled and unscheduled. Sadly, it also mean I missed a few meeting with some vendors…my apologies. Anyway, in between my meetings, I managed to grab some snipplet of some interesting stuff. 1. WiFi SIP Phones or rather the lack of it. The only one I saw on […]
CommunicAsia Day 1
I was down with a flu yesterday so only managed to get to CommunicAsia 2006 this afternoon. I was told there are a lot more exhibitors this year but I “feel” there is less crowd compared to the last year. Yesterday, Minister Dr. Lee Boon Yang unveil the iN2015 IT masterplan so I went […]
In Hong Kong
If my weekend trip is crazy, my trip to Hong Kong is worst. I got notice to fly to Hong Kong with less then 24 hours notice, then a delay in a meeting yesterday caused me to missed my flight and there is no more flight to Hong Kong. So I end up buying a […]
Gmail for your domain

Seeing is believing
When Pak John told me they have over hundreds of wifi base station on a single roof top in Indonesia, I don’t believe them at all. Until I see this… And repeat that picture on every inch of the roof. Many microwave links of course but most surprising, most of them are 2.4Ghz base stations […]
Politics of Net Neutrality
Just read this commentary The Chicago Sun Times reports that AT&T has donated $1 million to a community center founded by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.). Rush is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which is writing telecom law that would give AT&T everything telcos want, from killing net neutrality, to letting telcos establish […]
Japan trip
This is why I love coming to Japan :-) This is why I (or anyone) shouldn’t go to Joi Ito‘s lab, ever :-( And before I forgot, this is the latest FOMA P901iTV – watch TV on the phone :-) Beside the little hiccup of calling Martin Varsavsky‘s room only to get his tired and […]
