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.

IMS Insider Info

August 07, 2006  /  jules kivell

I continue to follow the ramblings of the global IMS conversation, and the IMS Insider does an outstanding job of documenting, conversing and "talking out loud" about the good, the bad, the curious and the troublesome questions of IMS.  In fact, they are thinking about the same things I think about, when thinking about IMS.
  • How in the world are carriers going to get interoperability?
  • Is there a compelling event to pull customers to IMS services, especially when the majority of the services being considered are already available for free?
  • What happens to local number portability? DO we all just end up getting an IP V.6 address?
  • What happens when Net Neutrality and IMS collide?
Read on, it's a good conversation...

IMS Insider
MS strategies today fail to justify how value-add is being created from the IMS infrastructure when people can already talk on Skype for free -- and most of the QoS problems on Skype are really either internal to the PC (e.g. contention for CPU or network access) or local to the customer premises (first-hop to WiFi access point).- Many of the IMS functions when decomposed are replicated for free on today's Internet (e.g. basic dyndns.org dynamic DNS routing -- eg. I can make a SIP call that will reach me wherever I am -- the "home agent" function is very cheap/free).
