Networking the Telecom Industry


Last 100 Messages Optical SDN in the core is only going to become a reality once more granular flows are permitted to transit across the core. This will require Optical Burst... fmenard123456 on Optical SDN Could Require Vendor-Specific Help I think I'd prefer the interactive model. My data usage varies, so it would be nice to pay relatively little during slow months and to not worry about a cap... Craig Matsumoto on Playing the Mobile Data Game Would be an interesting move if it could leverage its cable contracts along with Hulu contracts. Tad Caudill on Time Warner Cable Linked to Hulu Bid I doubt that this is about dropping broadcast networks from the satellite feed altogether. It's more about using OTA as leverage for when transmission fees are renegotiated. This is why... mendyk on DirecTV Weighs OTA Tuners Maybe the telco's have been making far too much money for far too long, and maybe Karma really does exist. It's only natural for any company to identify new value... Richie on Telefónica + Samsung: Digital Dream Team? Here's a theory... Aruba announced earnings the same day as Cisco, and they weren't good. Part of the problem was sudden aggressiveness by Cisco in the enterprise Wi-fi sector. George Notter of... Craig Matsumoto on Investors Go Giddy Over Cisco's Q3 I got the sense that big data/analytics is exiting the hype stage in that more people are asking what the actual payoff is. It may be in the interests of... mendyk on MW13: Five Key Trends for CSPs Thanks for the lovely shots of the Mediterranean Ocean. They bring back fond memories of the show. mendyk on MW13 Slide Show: Nice is Nice! When it comes to outdoor small cells, the only thing these guys are going to be aggressive about is driving investments by some of their poor vendors. When it comes... pdonegan66 on Verizon CEO: Small Cells Coming in 2013 Alex, You are spoiling good marketing b**t with truth. Please stop doing that :) ccna on MW13: NFV Picks Up Speed It is a fact that VoLTE (and LTE) increases signaling in the core network. However Diameter signaling is not the only signaling type impacting the core. Even more alarming is... Teemu Makinen on MW13: Tekelec Warns of VoLTE Signaling Storm Yes, but Infinera doing something <> having a standard. The operators in favor of this idea aren't hoping to have exactly one vendor to turn to, I'm sure. Craig Matsumoto on The Case for Flexibility Beyond 100G I agree with Margaret to the fact that a lot of work to be done on the API but the network readiness for open protocol and the strategic plan to... Sultan Bou Hamdan on AT&T Has High Hopes for SDN I think we'll see more of this sort of thing next year, too. We'll see one or two functions at a time being ported to standard servers. The next step... philharvey** on MW13: Amdocs Embraces Virtualization Not thrilled that you're conflating the bundling of services like TV and Cable Internet with the bundling of channels and using that to help the argument that bundling is good... Fanfoot on To Bundle or Not to Bundle if you looking for australia based free tyres classified website please use this link http://www.tyresalesonline.com... eva Bernice on Top Ten Video Sharing Websites Can we sue Mediacom for the same reason! InternationalRelationsXPERT on Time Warner Subscribers Sue Will deploying these 24/32 channel bonded tuners change the specs on the upstream amplifier found in an STB? or change the requirements on the headend/CMTS discrete amplifiers? Moe Sukhon on Will Broadcom Go for More Than 1-Gig? "Most have resisted it from the start, but warmed to it when forced by its popularity." Sounds like my old HS prom date mt330404 on MW13: Skype Waits for Operators to Woo It Yeah, that's why I thought it was interesting. People just reported it as forget 4G, here's 5G, but I was looking at the Samsung page on it and not seeing... DanJonesLRM on Samsung: Inching Toward 5G? Funny how many new boxes are said to enable #NFV. Isn't the whole point of NFV to get away from adding yet another vendor's new boxes? philharvey on Overture Upgrades Ethernet Access Line And in the 24 hours since this MoU was announced there has been quite a bit of disgruntlement on the show floor at Management world about the whys and wherefores... Ray Le Maistre on MW13: Major Vendors Set OSS Accord I have to say, first impression, is that it is quite a neat device. But I have yet to get into the long grass.... Ray Le Maistre on MW13: QUICK – FREE STUFF!! Checking out the Project Clearwater site, they are now claiming 2c/s/y based on current AWS pricing and performance expectations (ref. Technical / Performance). But there is actually a little Clearwater... a11idian on IMS Gets Some Open-Source Love That explains why Steve Weeber spoke in Randy's place at the Packet-Optical Transport Evolution conference today -- and why Weeber's title was CTO. Best of luck, Randy. Craig Matsumoto on Windstream Names Nicklas CTO "SDN" is probably a better IPO keyword than "optical." Maybe it's working in the end - Cyan shares are up 10% Tuesday. Craig Matsumoto on Cyan Works the Big Screen Hello Jeff, I was wondering if you have any market projections (in numbers) for Docsis 3.1? Moe Sukhon on Making Room for Docsis 3.1 WP was a sinking ship long before Nokia boarded. Nokia was seeing double digit growth with Symbian. 2010 showed a 34% increase over 2009; 134 million units compared... lanbrown on Nokia on the Road to Hell? The answer is simple for Nokia; you need to offer more than just WP. Consumers voted long before you released the first Lumia handset and the verdict was; not... lanbrown on Euronews: Nokia Loses Market Share, Tries Metal To be sure, the Sonet/SDH business is on the decline; it's just that P-OTS didn't deliver the knockout blow that people expected. Sterling Perrin does think it's a factor... Craig Matsumoto on Ciena Goes Packet-Happy in the Metro Nice piece Ray! If Microsoft still have a surplus I am sure our entrants for the Tech Trailblazers Awards 2014 would be happy to receive one each. The promo and... Rose Ross on MW13: Microsoft's Fab Freebie Fair enough, but the ABC broadcast network is a wholly different model from ESPN. The fact that something besides sports content (and some news) is going live online is the... msilbey on ABC Joins Live TV Streaming Parade Sure, http://rajant.com/. I work there so I may be biased. :-) soldack on Mommy, What's a White Space? I'd be interested to know what large carriers view on this is? Is energy consumption a big enough problem to allocate budget on? gregwhelan on GreenTouch IDs Telco Energy Savings Easy decision. This was a non-strategic foray to get their toe in the water of the "app" and "api" market. gregwhelan on AlcaLu Sells Off Its API Repository How do we know that they are not using 3GPP's AMR-WB? The codec and the transport are not tied together. It would actually make a lot more sense... lanbrown on Sprint Delays HD Voice Launch to Q2 I'll have a better idea after this week, but Guavus is definitely an interesting one: http://www.lightreading.com/an... SarahReedy on That Big Data Sinking Feeling PERFECT! I could not of said it better myself! Asael Delgado on What's the Next Mega-Mobile Merger in the US? So Yankee, are you one of the good ol' boys in Smith's millionaire club? You are either an insider making millions, or have no clue what you are talking about... I am Spartacus on Ciena Soars on Q1 Surprise He was specifically talking about VoLTE in this case though. DanJonesLRM on AT&T Plans 4G Voice Launch This Year RIP Ziggo. Netcracker will ruin everything. Their products are too complex. Anon on Ziggo Deploys NetCracker's BSS Love the idea, but I can't see the crowd raising the roof about on-board optics. :) Craig Matsumoto on No, Wait ... Maybe Avago's Running Arista's 100G I won't be switching to BT's broadband from my current broadband provider (which isn't BSKyB) just because BT is offering a few soccer/rugby/tennis games/matches for free. In addition, for me,... Ray Le Maistre on BT's Got Balls Not really a mixed bag of results, I have always found the product to be really strong and placed it many places. The real issues are - 1) they... Telco on Cyan's Not Blue Over NYSE Debut If BT can continue to outperform on profitability once it has launched its sports channels then it will deserve all the plaudits it will get. But to me that sports... Ray Le Maistre on Euronews: BT's Results Prompt Shares Surge From what I hear, Tartavull has also stamped his authority on the company and has a few more executives on their toes regarding performance and results -- a little bit... Ray Le Maistre on Getting to Grips With Comverse I'm gonna guess Citrix padded the vote (or just had a lot of early risers at the keynote). I wasn't gonna vote in the best-of-Best-Of Interop, but I couldn't believe... Craig Matsumoto on Interop Photos: SDN Keynote Frenzy I was just wondering how the big players have teamed up with truphone when there are already far better gsm roaming solutions available out there? Truphone seem great at raising... Lee Walkey on Truphone Adds Exec2 Oh, for sure. DanJonesLRM on Cisco Turns 20 in Singapore If handoff and security on WiFi hotspots gets easier because of the "science project" that'll be a positive benefit, sez me. DanJonesLRM on 3G, 4G & Wi-Fi: AT&T Plans Small-Cell Threesome Phil, Good to see you post. Can't wait to see folks debug servers as they get put up and taken down. Should be fun. seven brookseven on The Benefits of NFV Ouch fishymcdonk on Oclaro Q3 Loss Totals $41.5M MORE MESSAGE BOARDS								Events Webinars Backhaul Strategies for Mobile Operators - New York Tuesday, June 25, 2013 The Marriott Marquis, New York MORE EVENTS Events Webinars Operator Strategies for OTT Video Delivery 5/28/13 A Practical Guide for Optimizing, Planning and Implementing 100G Networks 5/29/13 New Monetization Strategies for Cloud Providers that Own Networks 5/29/13 Mobile Network Security: The DNS & Other Key Infrastructure 5/30/13 MORE WEBINARS Most Popular Read Blogs Talk Verizon Promises Voice-Over-LTE in 2014 04/18/2013 Alcatel-Lucent CEO Preps Kill List 04/26/2013 Photos: Open Networking Summit 2013 04/19/2013 Verizon CEO: Small Cells Coming in 2013 05/08/2013 Slide Show: The Genband Perspective 05/03/2013 Scoop!
