Even though we’ve had three Telecom API events this year: June in Munich, this one in Oct in London, and the Service Delivery Innovation Summit in London in Sept (previously known as the SDP Global Summit) the event ended up being busier than expected with a relatively high % of telcos. I ran a pre-conference […]
Where are the Telecom API millionaires? We all know about the Apple App Store and Google Play millionaires. Flappy Bird being a recent in a long long line of developer successes. But in Telecom APIs, where are the AT&T Developer Program Millionaires? The question is fair, though its comparing apples and oranges. The successes in […]
Previous weblogs and The Services Domain Report have discussed that the term SDP (Service Delivery Platform) is not appropriate. We’re talking about the Services Domain, see the diagram on the left. A telco is composed of three ‘domains’ the network domain, business and operational support systems (BOSS) domain, and the services domain. The services domain […]
I asked Jonathan Bell, VP Marketing at OpenCloud, some questions around TADS (Telecom Application Developer Summit), I’ll be doing this with the TADS sponsors, to understand the rich diversity of desires driving TADS, a grassroots initiative by people and businesses committed to creating a profitable and sustainable telecom application developer ecosystem. What excites you about […]
The SDP Global Summit has become the must-attend event across all telecom service platforms, not simply service delivery platforms. Previous Summits from 2012, 2011 Day 1, 2011 Day 2, and 2011 Highlights are reviewed on this weblog and you can see they have predicted the course of the industry. I’m in particularly excited about the […]

TADS is also for Telcos wanting to discover new services and to understand how to work […]
Back in September 2012 I published this report “TV Delivery Evolution: Hybrid TV, Over The Top (Internet) TV and TV Everywhere (Multi-Screen) TV. Status Report and Projections 2012-2017.” A friend recently asked if they could buy the report, so I reread the material, and I was surprised at how far we have moved in the […]
I’ll be in London next week (3-5 Dec) at the Telco Big Data and Real Time Analytics Summit, it’s the first time this conference has run, and I think presents an important opportunity to cut through all the hype and BS we’re seeing on Big Data. The conference itself is packed with operator presentations sharing […]
A complete rewrite of the TV Delivery Evolution Report is now available, its now titled: “TV Delivery Evolution: Hybrid TV, Over The Top (Internet) TV and TV Everywhere (Multi-Screen) TV. Status Report and Projections 2012-2017.” The table of contents, figures and introduction are available to download here and shown at the bottom of this article. […]
Much is made of the Telco’s natural fit in delivering IT Solutions to SMB (Small Medium Business), and hence the much touted Cloud Service Broker opportunity for telcos. I am a small business, and this assumption doesn’t ring true. Telcos in my experience struggle with the SMB segment because they are structured to sell pre-packaged […]
