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…
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…
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. Economically, it’s the best place to site a resource pool for new services and network features, because it’s…
As I’ve already noted in a prior post, I intend to provide an option to allow registered users of my blog.tmtadvisor.com podcast site to participate in scheduled chats about selected podcasts, using the open-source Mastodon application. This post on TMT Advisor provides more details, and full information will be available when the capability is activated…
This has been a year most of us would like to forget, and we’re all hoping that next year will be better. We wish all of our customers, contacts, and those who follow our blogs and podcasts a very Happy Holiday Season, and we hope that in 2023 the world will recover from some of…
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:
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…
Starting next year, at a time to be announced, I will be using Mastodon (the Vivaldi.net instance) to chat with registered users of TMT Advisor. More information on this will be made available when the feature is live, but you can register for TMT Advisor at no charge now. https://blog.tmtadvisor.com/ Email and RSS:
I’ve blogged about the value of utilizing consumer broadband access and the Internet for more business connectivity. What about the Comcast decision to deploy specialized technology for business services via a newly defined architecture model? Does this mean that Comcast is going another way, or even that it’s actually trying to avoid that consumer broadband…
Probably the most dangerous thing a company can do in tight financial times is to chase buzzwords. Given that view, you won’t be surprised when I say that I was less than enthusiastic about the Great Telco Debate on the importance of being a “digital service provider”. I’ve never been wild about the term itself,…
