- Prediction for 2009: OpenGardens strategies(smart pipes/efficient bitpipes) will be profitable and will proliferate..January 7
- I have belatedly succumbed to the various requests for a 'prediction'! I don't like making predictions .. And certainly this is no year to be making them! .. But if I were to make one .. This would be it .. Despite the recession, OpenGardens strategies(smart pipes/efficient bitpipes) will be profitable and will proliferate.. and grow to be the dominant model .. In fact, it is not a prediction .. It is already a fact .. By OpenGardens .. I mean more than the On deck/Off deck dichotomy - I mean the philosophy that the intelligence resides in the edge of the network - but also that the network itself has a business model based on the unique capabilities of the network. In other words, we are seeing two forces at work: Value is being abstracted to higher levels of the stack / edge of the network and at the same time, the networks will find profitable niches in areas which they can uniquely do. In this world of OpenGardens, there is no Pipe - because there is no 'unpipe' i.e. in a world of connectivity/creation - one business model does not cannibalise the other and they both co-exist This may seem a complex idea to explain .. but it is not .. Consider this .. Fiercewireless predicts that efficie

- The Carnival is back with a bang in the new Year at Helen Keegan's blog Musings of a Mobile Marketer. Helen does a great job and this time round the Carnival is even more significant for the predictions - which are an interesting read ..

- Cloud computing, Policy, Privacy and empowering the user ..January 4
- BACKGROUND It great to be invited to attend and participate in the State of the Net conference in Washington DC by Tim Lordon Director of the Internet Education Foundation who met me when I spoke at the EIF event at the European parliament . I would also like to thank MEP James Elles and Peter Linton - EIF for their support. The timing of this event is significant coming just before the inauguration of the Obama presidency and Barack Obama's belief that the Internet is way out of the recession. Considering this is a gathering of Government and Industry - I am going to focus on the issue of Policy for Cloud computing. So, here are my views .. Which builds on previous blogs but also focusses specifically on the issue of Policy(i.e. issues such as privacy and data protection) in relation to Cloud computing. SYNOPSIS 1) Cloud computing will shift the emphasis to the service and the service level agreement. 2) It creates winners(I believe IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Mobile network operat
- MIT media - Scratch language - and picoboard - we should promote this concept .. its cool!January 3
-
Amongst the various things I spent working over the new year break - (LTE, k-anonymity, mobile web megatrends, Cloud privacy policies, Internet of things) all already blogged or will be blogging .. (I know - I know .. I should get more of a social life .. - ha ha! )
But one of them was a fun project called 'Scratch'
Scratch is a programming language for kids created by MIT media labs and it's cool!!!
and it gets even more interesting with Picoboard .. which is a sensor that responds to scratch programs
I love it!
I think we should really promote this since it will help kids and people worldwide ..
It promotes programming concepts, multimedia and sharing i.e. you can build up based on other people's shared programs.
see this nice example of a simple and innovative project by a child and more videos below about the concept itself
