Who makes the law?
From Your Own Personal Internet The Senate Commerce Committee deadlocked 11 to 11 on an amendment inserting some very basic net neutrality provisions into a moving telecommunications bill… Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) explained why he voted against the amendment and gave an amazing primer on how the internet works: I just the other day got, […]
“You sux!” vs “You sux! :-)”
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. And if you do click on the link, […]
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 […]

While sending out emails using my own email address isn’t a problem, I still need my own email server to receive and […]
The demo…
The demo I want to talk about took 6 years to prepare: NLS is an instrument for helping humans operate within the domain of complex information structures. By “operate” Doug means compose, study and modify. By “complex information structures” Doug says that content represents concepts, but there is also a relation between the content of […]
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 […]
