I got an angry email regarding my previous entry on overlay network which basically said “How can you call yourself champion of IPv6 for Singapore!?”. First, let me clarify that I am not against IPv6 – I still support IPv6 very much and hope it will succeed. But hope don’t change reality. Just like any […]

Will Overlay Network be the next End-to-End paradigm?
I met fellow technologist from a major handphone manufacturer several of weeks ago. We have a long and interesting conversation but one thing stick out even now on my mind. It goes some thing like this: Him: We forsee our phones will evolve into an all-IP device, one that hooks up not only to GSM, […]
NTU developed smallest antenna
Okay, apparently I missed this news in the papers two days ago (yea, I dont read papers anymore) but luckily, I picked it up from Xinhanet. Wow, Xinhuanet reporting a news in Singapore :-) Developed by NTU researchers, the circuit antenna boasts of less than 17 millimeters in width, similar to the diameter of the […]
Stupid network is a Stupid Idea
This was presented by Roderick Randall, Senior Managing Director of Vesbridge Partners at the 21st Century Communication. First thing come to my mind: Stupid. Yes, he made good argument about the need for price differentiation but it is nothing new. Different people attach different value to the same service; that voice call to your doctor […]

But when IDC organized an event called “IDC’s Asia/Pacific IP Convergence Conference 2005” with strong emphasis on VoIP, I thought “That’s Cool. I need to check it out”. It even promises “We are partnering with ProCurve Networking […]
The Common Sense Model
Although I missed Infocomm Technology Roadmap 2 weeks ago in Singapore (I was at ETech), the folks here have recorded the session. So earlier this week, I spend sometime watching John Seely Brown speech on The Common Sense Model. 1. Supply Push –> Demand Pull, e.g. Mass Media –> Search Driven Ads 2. New Forms […]
iTunes streaming over Internet
Remember my personal iTunes server I setup last year? I upgraded it a couple days ago to daapd-0.2.4 which support playlist. And I also added iTune streaming over the Internet so now I can listen to my music library whereever I am, thanks to Rendezous Proxy ;-)
Juniper bought Kagoor
The latest news is Juniper snaped Kagoor up for 64.5M. See articles on Red Herring and Forbes. Actually 64.5M might be considered cheap considering the potential of Kagoor of its session border controller. But what could this means? Is it because Juniper starting to see Kagoor making headways with the Tier-1 carriers (ie, their customers) […]
Singnet IPv6 Trial
I just discovered Singnet is offering IPv6 Trial to its ATM or Lease Line customers. And they also have a very cute IPv6 test modeled after the famous dancing turtle @ kame.net.
