My previous entry on Petronas CNY advertisment has gathered a lot of interest. Many asked me if I know where they can see it online. I have been keeping an eye on Petronas website, esp. the section that post these video clips but so far no luck. So I am surprised when I found it […]
APRICOT Day 4
The highlight of the day should goes to Geoff Hutson’s keynote on Convergence. Geoff as I noted previously has a talent for writing and giving really good speeches. A short summary: 1. Convergence is something the industry has always being doing constantly. 2. Triple Play is game over. Bittorrent has won! 3. What your users […]
China’s alt. root? Panic over confusion
Last night, after dinner hosted by Mao Wei, I got this email from Dave’s Interesting-People: “China To Launch Alternate Country Code Domains”. It was funny because no one said anything about the BIG news during dinner but nevermind, I could clarify with them in the morning. By morning, this little email turn into small discussion […]
APRICOT Day 3
I spend most of the day at the APIA ISOC-AU Joint Forum. Seem like the whole gang of the typical IETF suspects (IAB & IESG) are here among other speakers. The speech of the day has to come from Chris Disspain from auDA at the last session. His description of the prepcomm3 of the WSIS […]
APRICOT Day 2
One of the problem of not attending meetings for a while is you start to forget someone name. Okay, at least I have that problem. So many times that someone come forward to say hi and I have to struggle to remember their name, esp. I cant see their name tag. For those whose name […]

APRICOT 2006
I am now waiting for my flight to Perth for APRICOT 2006. Sitting at the Krisflyer lounge, I have a feel a bit out of place…Perhaps I havent travelled for a while. Ever since I told my boss I am leaving IDA, I grounded (myself) from any travelling. Its going to difficult for me and […]
Moving on…
I probably should have blog about this earlier but I really have been enjoying the little break. Anyway, I left IDA about two weeks ago. This shouldnt come as a surprise for many. In fact, some may be wondering why it took so long? Some of you were already awared of my intention to leave […]
Net Neutrality
In Jan this year, a frontpage article on WSJ quoted Verizon Chief Executive Ivan Seidenberg “We have to make sure they (Google) don’t sit on our network and chew up our capacityâ€. Both AT&T and Bellsouth also made similar statements in the same article. A few days ago, Verizon repeat their call to “End Google’s […]
Beyond The Age of Innocence
Beyond the Age of Innocence by Kishore Mahbubani A couple of weeks ago, I meet Kishore, the former ambassador of Singapore to the UN and currently the Dean of Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for some work related matter. I remember fondly of his previous book Can Asians Think so after the meeting, […]
