I’d like to share some of the myths and misconceptions I come across in my travels on telco APIs and more generally service innovation. 1) Twilio and Apigee are used in the same breath, as if they’re the same proposition. Twilio is an API publisher, this article from 2012 explains the difference. There’s a strong […]
Continuing our voyage of being an online TV only viewing home, we’re now using Unotelly (thanks Adam). After spending a week earlier this month in the UK visiting family, we really appreciated the quality of the children’s programming with Cbeebies and CBBC, and the kids wanted to continue watching once back in the US. I’ve used […]
Firstly, a big thank you to Jim Machi, Vince Puglia, Robin Carley and the rest of the Dialogic team for providing the meeting venue, great demos, coffee, cookies, soda and pizza 🙂 You made TADMeetupNJ a great event. We had another packed event with over 25 people, this time including some telcos: Tata Communications and […]
The Next Generation Service Platforms (NGSP) event brings together 3 events: Telecom APIs, Web Real-Time Communications & Legacy Networks Evolution. Given the fragmentation of events it was nice to see an event bringing all the service platform issues under one roof. It ran in Munich, 10-11th June 2014, just after TADHack, it was an interesting contrast […]
The 2nd TADMeetup will be on Wednesday 16th July at Dialogic’s old offices, 1515 Route 10, Parsippany, NJ 07054. The focus of this event will be a very quick review of what happened at TADHack in June, as most of the content is online for you to review at your leisure. The bulk of the […]
TADHack is the only global meeting place for developers who want to learn, share, code and create across the breath of telecom tools and technologies. All telecom technologies and platforms are presented at TADHack, its a broad and open event with the focus on how all developers regardless of telecoms knowledge can use telecom technologies. […]
It was a funny old IMS World Forum, I found it both uplifting and depressing. Uplifting in the presentations from SK Telecom, Rogers, and Orange as they took control of their future and are delivering business results on service innovation. But also depressing as the telco standards people continue to delude themselves on OneAPI, RCS, […]
At the IMS World Forum we ran a workshop on IMS and WebRTC, its full title “IMS World Forum Pre-Conference Workshop: A New Wave of Communication Service Innovation: IMS and WebRTC.” The presentations are shown below, the running order kicked off with me frankly reviewing the challenges we face with service innovation, so after I got […]
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 […]
Let me kick off with an obvious statement but it needs repeating: WebRTC is about communications not just telephony. Which has an important corollary: telephony is not dead, its just becoming a bit-part in the emerging web-centric communications landscape. The first ever WebRTC Global Summit ran from March 31st – April 2nd in London. Congratulations […]
