Your Strategy isn’t what you say it is

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 […]

Bouygues Launch B.Duo

We covered the trial version of B.Duo last year at TADSummit, yesterday they launched the commercial service.

Summary of IMS World Forum 2014

It was a funny old IMS World Forum, I found it both uplifting and depressing.

WebRTC at the IMS World Forum, Barcelona, 23-25 April 2013

This year’s IMS World Forum is shaping up to be an excellent event, with a solid focus on WebRTC (Web Real Time Communications). At last year’s event I asked the opening panel about the impact of WebRTC on their plans to a muted response.  And this year there is a pre-conference WebRTC Workshop on the […]
