The metaverse seems to be one of those topics you can’t stop blogging about. There’s a lot going on for sure, the concept is important for sure, and others keep writing about it and raising issues. For example, Light Reading talks about how telcos “marvel at the metaverse”. CNBC says that the metaverse is “off…
On the Vanity of Tech Greatness
With apologies to Arthur Guiterman. “The Elon Musk whose Twitter Flaw launched Mastodon…has rubbed us raw. The metaverse that promised much…has crumbled into cartoon dust.

Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023, and Beyond
We’re almost done with 2022, a year that a lot of people aren’t going to be sad to leave behind. The big question for us all is whether 2023 will be any better, and there are signs that point both upward and downward. The tech world is always a slave to the broad economy, but…
Oracle’s Cloud is Hot; Can They Keep It Hot?
If you’re a fan of the cloud, which probably just about everyone is, then one big question that you’d probably like to have addressed is “Why, given that all the signs are that public cloud spending growth is dropping, did Oracle deliver 43% higher cloud revenue in the last quarter?” There have been a lot…
Is the Metro a Natural Fit for Disaggregated Device Technology?
I’ve blogged a number of times on the importance of metro in edge computing, cloud computing, function hosting, and network evolution. Metro, of course, is primarily a geography, and second a natural place of concentration of traffic.

We’re still facing economic uncertainties and stock market tumult, but our podcasters remain confident about the path forward in 2023. In the tech space, they talk about one particular telco project, and the vendor selected for it, and why this is important enough to break our tradition of not covering “wins”. Email and RSS:
What’s Next for the Network Operators? It Depends.
There are probably few topics as important as where telcos are on their path to…well, maybe that’s the problem. What are they on the path to? Digital transformation? Virtualization? Telco cloud? Cloud native? We’re entering a new year shortly, a year that’s clearly going to be critical for the telcos worldwide. They are finally facing…
