I’ve not attended MWC (Mobile World Congress) for quite a few years, and I’ll not be at MWC 2017. I reviewed back in 2015 some of the reasons in this weblog, MWC is Broken. For this year, you’ll likely see most of the usual faces, but for many of the vendors there will be fewer demos […]
After TADHack London we all headed to the WebRTC Summit. On the Monday afternoon the available TADHack winners presented to the conference. The big change for me at the conference is the number of real-world case studies being discussed. Not by RTC geeks, vendors or industry insiders; but regular web/IT people. I highlight Philipe Vaysacc […]
Amara’s Law states, “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.” Another way of looking at this law is the cognitive biases of attention-bias, confirmation-bias and herd-instinct; which tend to make new ideas overly popular with fanciful claims believed on when benefits can be […]
I was lucky enough to be invited to Nexterday North to present on telecom app development. Nexterday North is a TED-like event principally sponsored by CompTel, with an impressive line up of speakers, including Ted Matsumoto’s presentation “SoftBank’s Mobile Internet Strategy and Advice to Challengers.” This was the highlight for me, they have one of […]
This week the center of the RTC (Real Time Communications) World was the IIT (Illinois Institute of Technology) in Chicago as people from around the world gathered at IIT RTC to discuss: IPTComm (devoted to academic and industrial research in IP-enabled communications and services); Mobile Networks, Platforms and Applications; WebRTC and Cloud Communications; Next Generation […]
In my travels I meet many Telco CEOs who have a common question, “How can I transform my organization to be more innovative?” My response is always the same, “You can not.” They look a little perplexed as most people tell them they can if they buy their snake-oil. Usually packaged up as digital-tripe like […]
In just over one week’s time the center of the real-time communications world will be Chicago, with TADHack-mini Chicago running over the weekend from the 3rd – 4th October, and the Illinois Institute of Technology Real Time Communications Conference from the 5th – 8th October. I’ve reviewed IIT RTC in 2014 and 2013, the event is […]
Shortly after TADHack Global the Next Generation Service Platforms (NGSP) event took place on the 17/18 June in Munich. Below are 2 sets of slides, the first reviews some of the key presentations given at the NGSP event, and the second is my presentation that provides some background on TADHack and a brief review of […]
We have a bunch of TADHack sponsors (Forge by Acision, hSenid Mobile, Tropo) and people involved meeting up in Singapore for a TADHack / WebRTC Meetup on the 2nd June 6:30PM to 8:30PM, at JFDI.Asia at 71 Ayer Rajah Crescent, #05-16. We were unable to get a TADHack Singapore location running this year, I’ll avoid descending […]
Before the WebRTC Summit we ran TADHack-mini London over the weekend, its a grass-roots effort to engage the broader developer community in the power of adding telecom capabilities and services into applications, services and business processes. Well done to everyone who took part, the mash-ups, collaboration, and use of software and hardware in the hacks was amazing. […]
