		<description><![CDATA[On the need for government intervention in the free market to protect competition and encourage innovation Gary Reback is one of the nation&#8217;s most prominent antitrust attorneys, best known for spearheading the efforts that led to the federal lawsuit against Microsoft.&#160;&#160; Gary spoke to an attentive and eager audience on May 14th in Santa Clara, CA.&#160;&#160; The Commonwealth Club and Yale Club of Silicon Valley sponsored his enlightening and provocative talk.&#160;Reback&#8217;s main message was that the government l&#8217;aissez faire policies, so strongly promoted by University of Chicago economists, have gone way too far.&#160;As a counter-weight, he says we need more government oversight of the private sector along with more vigilant anti-trust enforcement. &#160; To set the stage for the current recessionary economy, Gary began by chronicling the history of the U.S. antitrust movement. From its beginnings in the 1870s (a time when big business controlled the railroads), through Teddy and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thurmond Arnold and others, there has been an ebb and flow of power and control between the federal government in Washington and big business (e.g. monopolies) or Wall Street investment firms.&#160;Starting about thirty years ago, conservatives forced an overhaul of competition policy that has loosened business rules [...]]]></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[After 7+ years of going it alone, I have taken full plunge back into the Silicon Valley start-up culture by joining a company that is in stealth mode.&#160; Over time, I will be able to reveal more details.&#160;It is in the broadband television space, but its model is so unique that it really is creating a new space in the world of television.&#160; One of the things that attracted me to this company was that they saw the value in the Viodi View and ViodiTV in helping to inform, connect and, hopefully, occasionally entertain the independent telco industry concerning the topic of video services.&#160;&#160; Thanks to the foundation this company brings, our plan is to enhance our coverage of industry events and provide increased value to the telco trade associations and their members.&#160; This relationship should give us a new channel for distributing the Viodi View and ViodiTV.&#160; The plan is to continue as well as expand &#160;the coverage of independent telco tradeshows.&#160; Editorial control will still be by the individual authors. &#160; Our posts will still be a function of what we feel like writing at any given time and will cover what we think is relevant to independent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Alan J. Weissberger, contact alan at viodi.com for information on his telecom consulting services. &#160; On Jan 8, 2008, I was privileged to hear Scott Kriens talk at the SCU Business School (I was a Professor in SCU EE Dept for many years).&#160; Here are the key points of his talk: &#160; Juniper has grown to a $3B revenue company, with a presence in over 100 countries http://www.juniper.net/company/ &#160; Scott recognized that he could not add value himself to such a large, growing company.&#160; Therefore, he decided to teach leadership skills to others. First step, was to reflect on what really matters.&#160; He asked the audience to write down answers to 3 questions: &#160; 1.&#160; Who are you? 2.&#160; Why are you here? 3.&#160; What do you want (out of life, career, etc)? &#160; Scott said that one needs thoughtful answers to these questions before a career plan can be created.&#160; He remarked that only 12% of people have a career plan.&#160; However, of&#160;those who have one, 75% say they have achieved their career goals and objectives. &#160; There are 4 steps to creation of a sustainable, purposeful business environment: &#160; 1.&#160; Self awareness- know what you believe and [...]]]></description>
