Its 2015, in case you didn’t notice đ  IMS is still not pervasive, tier 2 telcos continue to buy NEW soft-switches in preference to IMS as its too expensive / complex, and RCS is nowhere as discussed in this weblog – a big thank you to all the contributors in the comments.  VoLTE is making slow, painful […]
RCS (Rich Communication Suite) has failed, we need an RCS reset, according to Dean Bubley its been a Zombie Technology for several years. My conversations with telcos over the past year on RCS have recurrent themes of it being too expensive, too complex, increasingly detached from the market reality, and most importantly has lost the […]
WebRTC Paris is a 3 day event, focused on the European WebRTC community. Compared to the US events it shows Europe is as, if not more innovative than North America, has a lot less hype, and is definitely more focused on the practical realities of implementation. An important theme that came out from both Telcos and […]
I spend a fair bit of my time helping cool innovative new service providers, telcos, and technology vendors get new stuff to market. What that means is I spend a fair bit of my time failing, which also means I spend much of my time learning. Being independent avoids all the internal noise of large […]

I ran a pre-conference […]

Leveraging its unique academic setting, this annual conference brings together technical professionals and business executives from the data and telecommunications industry, standards bodies, policy and regulatory institutions, and academic educators and researchers to promote an open exchange of […]
LTEAsia remains one of the best, if not the best event, to meet with most of the regionâs CxOs. Â Its not too big, and not too small. Numbers appeared slightly down on 2 years ago when I last attended, but the quality of attendees remains as high. I was chairing the Signaling Focus day, the […]
At the end of this weblog is an update with a review of some of the slides presented. The SDP Global Summit, renamed Service Delivery Innovation Summit (#SDIS), reached its 10th year. The name change was to reflect the broader scope of service innovation beyond the nebulous and to some extent discredited term SDP, so […]
We covered the trial version of B.Duo last year at TADSummit, yesterday they launched the commercial service. You can see the demo video below, its in French, but the use cases for a second number while keeping your primary number private are clear with a little French flavor đ Its great to see a telco […]
