TADS (Telecom Application Developer Summit) is an independent grassroots initiative to raise the profile of telecom application developers with the resources to support them, and create a sustainable and profitable telecom application ecosystem. One of the requests from people who could not make it to the TADSummit last year was to help organize local events […]
Telcos are faced with a tough choice by some of their vendors, “IMS, what choice do you have?” If telcos’ services do not work reliably they suffer through public humiliation. Remember when AT&T had an exclusive deal on iPhone in the US? Jon Stewart from the Daily Show said about owning an iPhone in NYC […]
At the Rich Communications event in Berlin, we ran a pre-conference workshop on WebRTC that included Tim Panton from Westhawk, Victor Pascual Avila from Quobis, Juan Mateu from Solaiemes, and myself. The material from the workshop is show below. It was a packed day, with the realization that an RCS strategy that does not include WebRTC […]
The SDP Global Summit proved again to be the must-attend event. I’ve reviewed Summits from 2013, 2012, 2011 Day 1, 2011 Day 2, and 2011 Highlights on this weblog and you can see they have predicted the course of the industry. This year we ran a post conference workshop on the 20th Sept entitled, “Independent […]
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 […]

Presenter will include Sam Machin from Tropo, Juan Mateu from Solaiemes, Victor Pascual Avila […]
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 […]
Genband ran Perspectives13 over the 29 April – 2 May, customers from over 80 countries came together to see how Genband are bringing their communications platforms and services together. Genband has both built and bought a portfolio of communications-centric products across telco and enterprise, see M&A history at the end of this weblog: from the […]
In the effective duopoly of IMS core supply between Ericsson and Huawei, it’s fair to ask, “IMS. What choice do you have?” Talk to many people in Telecoms not directly working on IMS and they’ll simply right it off as dead. For a dead technology, the conference was very much alive, the busiest I’ve ever […]
The overall feel of MWC (Mobile World Congress) this year is upbeat. More people attending, up from 67k to 72k. The money being spent on LTE (Long Term Evolution) is starting to percolate through the industry, and later this year LTE-A (Advanced) as Telstra and several other operators announced. In these articles from 2008 and […]
