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 […]
Who is going to build a Stupid Network?
I posted the following on a Stupid Network discussion over at Isen’s blog. — On the industry aspect, the role of a pure ISP (ie, the middleman that provides IP connectivity only by procuring infrastructure from a telco) is already dead by 1996 to 1997 when the telco woke up to the idea of Internet.

The latest news going around is Microsoft is spamming. What’s the hell is going on? I mean they are suppose to be the ‘Good Guy’ in antispam?

Nevertheless, what is surprising is the number of people who turns out at the event. The keynote […]

Why ITSP asking for regulation?
Hear hear! How come a Nethead turns into a Bellhead when placed in the “voice†environment? This is the best statement I have heard in the last weeks (and I have heard many, being at the VON), because it explains an issue I was wondering recently: How come that virtual VoIP Service providers (I considered […]
