Use spellcheck getsome. Yes, Mr. Me. ReplyVerizon Gets Bigger: Watch Out, Google [view article]
Good for GOOG to go after VZ. Their service sucks and Google has always had an altristic business model concerning the free use of the internet and systems that use it. Do your homework... Replyn2

Verizon benefits by not having to pay Alltel roaming charges. Alltel -- now part of Verizon -- loses the roaming charges. How is this a cost saving? ReplyVerizon Gets Bigger: Watch Out, Google [view article]
Two comments, 1) 45% of Verizon is VOD that is not a USA company so think about that when you sign up for verizon. 2) Apple and AT&T have a 5 year agreement on the IPHONE so verizon has no chance to offer it for 4 more years ReplyAccessories

Strategically, it's a smart move for VZ Wireless. Alltel is a well-run carrier which dominates the rural market of the U.S. In acquirring Alltel, VZ Wireless increases its chance of expanding its net earnings, saves the roaming charge expense that it would pay Alltel. It may also create some advertising value by becoming the largest wireless player in the U.S. market. ReplyEditors

WiFi Phones Don't Threaten The Big Carriers [view article]
I think this is an excellent post, and is very insightful into an area of telecom not widely understood.I appologize for my lack of brevity, but below are a few questions...
- For EFMC (enterprise FMC), who do envision integrating a solution for enterprises? The required areas of functionality are PBX integration, a WLAN system with QoS, dual-mode phones, a carrier for cellular coverage outside the building (this seems to be the hardest) and probably some sort of PBX adjunct like a SIP server. This is a lot to tie together, no-one has yet put this together in a coherent fashion that's been able to gain traction.
- Another related questions would be how do you envision a cellular service provider being enticed into a EFMC solution? It doesn't seem to be in a carrier's best interest to allow minutes off their network and on to the enterprise WLAN they don't control. Network operators that control both fixed and wireless networks are in a better position, but they still seem to favor outsourced solutions that don't utilize the PBX infrastructure already in place.
- You claim that this is the first time in 15 years you've seen more end user "pull" then vendor "push". The IT managers I've talked with are very skepticle of deploying such a new, unproven technology and feel there are many potential hidden costs that could offset the cost savings of best call routing. From where do you draw this conclusion and what's the profile of the enterprise most willing to make this technology leap?
- The WLAN infrastructure seems to be an important part usually ignored in FMC discussions. QoS, inter AP handoff, and support for high user dinsity are all important features that an EFMC soltion can't go without. What are your thoughts on WLAN systems for EFMC and what role will they play? Reply
