		<description><![CDATA[Intel referred to it as &#34;this year&#8217;s most significant collaboration in our respective industries.&#34;&#160;The&#160;Intel-Nokia strategic partnership will &#34;align and shape the next generation of mobile computing.&#34;&#160;But it was very difficult to extract any tangible take always from the press conference announcing the partnership.&#160;That&#8217;s because no specific products were identified and no time frames were given to see the results of this highly acclaimed collaboration. &#160; To a large extent, the press conference was a lot of hand waving and gesturing, without providing anything of substance that we might expect from such an important strategic relationship.&#160;This is the third time in the last decade that Intel and Nokia have announced a partnership, with the previous two attempts not producing much if anything at all.&#160;So the industry might have a right to be skeptical this time.&#160;Nonetheless, it certainly sounded exciting.&#160; &#160; Anand Chandrasekher, Sr VP and GM of Intel&#8217;s Ultra Mobility Group stated, &#34;The leaders in both computing and communications are coming together to accelerate innovation while driving exciting new revenue opportunities.&#160;Intel and Nokia are joining forces to announce a long term strategic relationship that will align and shape the next generation of mobile computing.&#34; &#160; We are all aware that smart [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The week before last, Roger Bindl and I had a chance to document innovations and innovative ideas at Parks Associates&#8217; Connections Conference. The fun thing about the Connections Conference is that it spans different disciplines and the mix of speakers last week included folks from sectors such as telecommunications, energy, consumer electronics and entertainment. Mitch Singer, CTO of Sony Pictures and president of the DECE, was one of those speakers. He explained how the DECE is trying to make the online video experience as user friendly as DVDs. Thanks to the Connections Conference, we may have the first video documenting a working demonstration of Qualcomm&#8217;s 600 Mb/s WiFi chipset designed for home networking of multiple high definition video signals. Home Networking was a major theme of the conference. In this issue, Alan Weissberger has a comprehensive article on home networking from a panel at a Telecom Council Meeting. Lastly, thanks to a chance encounter at the Connections Conference, I learned how to use the new camcorder capabilities of the G1 Phone. Some Video Highlights from the Connections Conference Sponsored by Parks Associates Hope for a Digital Media Distribution Standard Mitch Singer, CTO &#38; Executive Vice President New Media and Technology [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction This article covers the wireless networking aspects of the Connected Home &#8211; both inside and out.&#160;It is primarily based on the Telecom Council&#8217;s[1] May 14, 2009 meeting titled, &#8220;The Connected Home: Services and Models.&#8221;&#160;Trends in delivery of multiple residential services, mobile broadband, home networking, and remote access to the connected home are examined.&#160;We also highlight a few related news items from Sling Media (now Echo Star) and Motorola.&#160; In advance of the meeting, the Telecom Council published the following statement:&#160;&#160; &#34;The PC, the TV, the Internet and the home are converging in a very real way. Real products launched into the market don&#8217;t just blur the lines between TV and PC, but in fact make it increasingly clear that any screen is fair game for any content, and the service will come from both broadcast, uni-cast, and from within the home.&#160;Of course, screens and media are just a part of the Connected Home. Media sharing, photo display, home security, fixed phones, cameras, HVAC control, entry control, family organization and communication, are all becoming inextricably entwined.&#34; While we are skeptical that all the consumer electronics in the home will be connected to each other any time soon, we were aware [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this issue, Roger Bindl and Margaret Hines of Inspire Marketing report from the 2009 Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association Convention. Alan Weissberger reports on a talk given by famed anti-trust expert, Gary Reback. The comments that follow from Reback and others provide an interesting look at the changing anti-trust climate. Finally, I follow up with a brief summary of a rural-based tech company that wants to change the way telcos offer broadband services. ViodiTV at WSTA 2009 This video provides highlights from the 2009 WSTA Annual Convention. This edition of ViodiTV at&#160;WSTA&#160;was sponsored by&#160;Solarus&#160;and&#160;Central Cable Contractors. Highlights include&#160;Wisconsin PSC&#160;Commissioner Mark Meyer, Daniel Hardy and Judd Genda of&#160;Axley Brynelson, Gary Evans of&#160;Hiawatha Broadband says that local content is the most important thing they do, as it puts smiles on the faces of their customers, Jerry Wilke of&#160;RTG, Rob Riordan of&#160;Nsight, Andrew Walding of&#160;CellStream, Ann Anderson of&#160;Lemonweir Valley Tel, and Matt Eversmann of&#160;Freeman Phillips LLC. The video wraps up with bagels, brunch, golf, and fish. Check ViodiTV for full interviews with Jerry Wilke on femtocells, Rob Riordan on femtocell applications, Andrew Walding on&#160;Evolving TDM to IP, and Matt Eversmann on leadership.

		<description><![CDATA[The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), whose primary membership is network equipment vendors, has just&#160;released its annual report and outlook for the global telecommunications industry. For the first time in its 23 years of forecasting, TIA&#160;predicts a 3.1 % loss for the global ICT Industry in 2009. Further,&#160;they anticipate&#160;a 5.5 % decline for 2009 US ICT revenue. Much of this loss may be attributed to a 27 % fall in the U.S. broadband equipment market. TIA&#8217;s negative outlook is significant, because its report has always been a flag waving signal of hope for the telecom industry- even in years like 2002 and 2003, when there wasn&#8217;t much to cheer about.&#160;TIA&#8217;s annual&#160;global forecast&#160;report usually manages to find a silver lining somewhere in the world that shows an upward growth trajectory. TIA is optimistic about mobile data services (especially when compared to equipment sales). They think that some growth lies ahead, but not really until 2011.&#160; Global telecom revenue is&#160;predicted to grow 1.2 percent in 2010, 6.4 percent in 2011 and 7.9 percent in 2012. &#34;Broadband will be a driver for recovery in all areas, from healthcare IT to smart grid technology, public safety networks to education, as well as for businesses and [...]]]></description>

The stagnant economy and, more importantly, consumer confidence seem reminiscence of the 70s. There is a definite tension in the air as we are waiting for the affects of the government spending to kick-in and wondering if the result will be stable growth, high inflation or, that ugly 70s term, stagflation. Government spending in the form of the stimulus was the topic of many of the conversations and panels at the IP Possibilities Conference last month in San Diego. There was talk of the broadband stimulus being the first part of a national broadband strategy (see this link to Bennet &#38; Bennet&#160;for a good summary), whereby every American has to have access to broadband capability, that will culminate in a plan that FCC must deliver to Congress by February 17, 2010 (ironic date, given it will be exactly one year after the delayed DTV transition date). Looking Down Under to Stay on Top of Broadband In this video, Steve Klein of ViodiTV sponsor Allied Telesis discusses the role of technologies such as IP and Fiber to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We now believe that smart phones and &#34;all-in-one&#34; gadgets will drive the need for more bandwidth and QOS and accelerate mobile network movement to 3.5G&#160;(EVDO, HSPA, mobile WiMAX, etc) and 4G (LTE and Advanced WiMAX- IEEE 802.16m). UK&#160;research firm Mobile Squared reports that Apple to hit 1 billion app downloads on April 23rd!&#160; Please see: http://www.mobilesquared.co.uk/?p=593 They observe that the number of downloads from App Stores is growing exponentially: Apple is now experiencing average daily downloads of 5.1 million apps and requires another 38 million apps to reach 1 billion. At this download rate, the billion mark will be surpassed in a few days. At the start of December Apple announced that it has passed the 200 million download mark. And this was promptly followed by a similar announcement of 500 million downloads by January 19th. We would expect to see the same growth from other smart phone and &#34;all-in-one&#34; gadget makers (e.g. RIM, Palm, Nokia, etc) who have started their own on-line app stores. Many of the new apps will require massive amounts of bandwidth, e.g. video sharing, multi-media conferencing, interactive games, Video on Demand, real time broadcast video, Location Based Services, etc. The amount of bandwidth and real [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Security is a state of mind. It can be somewhat an abstract concept until it is pierced by some criminal act. Once breached, there are constant reminders, whether in the form of taller fences or long security lines, of the vulnerability we face due to unsavory actors . We had a recent event on the southern edges of Silicon Valley that pointed to security weaknesses in the telecommunications&#8217; infrastructure. Could the Outage in Santa Clara County Been Prevented or Alleviated By Alan Weissberger On Thursday April 9th, Internet, cell phone, and land-line phone service were all out of service for customers in parts of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. Even 911 calls weren&#8217;t going through. The culprit was a gang of rogues that cut 10 AT&#38;T fiber optic cables in 4 different locations. In this article on that disruption, Alan Weissberger makes the argument that WiMAX could have provided a level of redundancy that would have ameliorated the effects of this criminal act.&#160; Click here to read the rest of the article.&#160; Critical Infrastructures Impacted by Cyberspace By Roger Bindl Sami Saydjari, president of the Cyber Defense Agency, stressed the importance of maintaining a secure telecommunications infrastructure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first time I got serious about using a personal digital assistant was something that Atari produced some 20 years ago. This was before the term PDA was coined. I bought it because somehow I thought it would make me smarter or, at least, better organized. It did neither and it was soon relegated to the shelf to gather dust. The G1 from T-Mobile (service) /HTC (phone manufacturer) /Google (Android operating system) may finally provide the organizational nirvana I have been looking for my entire life. The G1 phone proved to be a handy assistant in producing ViodiTV at last month&#8217;s MTA convention. Although, I haven&#8217;t looked for teleprompting sofware for it yet (that sort of application exists for other PDAs), it served as a great way to jot down notes and scripts. The fast web browsing, thanks to the 3G network, made this a very useful research tool for getting facts for our &#34;just in time&#34; video production. Two extremely useful applications that helped us coordinate our interviews at MTA were the integrated calendar and email; allowing us to create more video than we had in years past. Working Together &#8211; Yesterday and Today A video that was very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract On April 1st, I attended a SaaS Conference talk by Jim Sheward, CEO of Fiberlink, on the topic of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). I found it provocative and of vital interest to IT managers that are having great difficulting managing a mobile work force. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is the delivery of enterprise mobility infrastructure using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform where the programs run on servers that are reached via the public Internet. Specifically, MaaS is a &#34;cloud&#34; based, always on, Enterprise Mobility Platform&#8482; with cost advantages, ubiquitous mobile device connectivity capability and a real-time updating and enforcement software engine. A MaaS platform enables users to be singularly connected while having anywhere access to their applications and data while the business has everywhere control of it&#8217;s users, devices, applications, and data. What&#8217;s the Risk? There is enormous risk in how IT managers handle mobility. Estimates are that mobile IT operations costs are very high and getting more expensive. Mobility is also a risk, because valuable or proprietary company information can be compromised. For example, last year there were over 600K laptops lost at U.S. airports. Additionally, 160K handsets were left in taxicabs. 37% of smart phone users store company confidential business data on [...]]]></description>
