telecom, technology and the occasional floobergeist

I’ve got an abundance of bits and pieces of canadian telecom and internet experience, and I am thrilled to be in a place in time when all is changing, technology is developing, and the status quo is being disrupted. 

Floobergeist is a word that is beginning to defy definition.  The more I roll that smooth pebble around, the more it becomes to mean. Floobergeist started out as the magic dust that turns dreams into ideas.  And then it began to encompass the zing that happens when you have conversations about those ideas. And now, it’s the whole evolution from dream to conversation, with each step improving the later and the former along the way.

Everyone aspires to good conversations. They can lead you to adventures you’ve never imagined, and to people you can twig with.

Let’s have a good conversation…

welcome.

dancing around net neutrality

May 03, 2006  /  jules kivell

Imagine my surprise, sitting down to last week's Eweek.com magazine, and flipping backwards to forwards [how else does one read a tech magazine], I stumbled across Peter Coffee's article on Super services=superhighways.

Sure, it starts off as a grand plug for distributed content provider, Akami , but what he's really getting to is the fact that we don't and can't want a flat, undifferentiated network for the internet.

The internet requires its own internal segmentation to deliver services based on ability and inclination to pay for them. - Peter Coffee

Ahem.

Mark Golderberg is also saying similar things about Net Neutrality, and that differentiated services are a logical progression in the evolution of the Internet
