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.

Driving Canadians to US Mobile Providers

February 20, 2008  /  jules kivell

An interesting article from the CBC this morning of residents in Manitoba opting out of the MTS Cellular Phone Service in favour of Verizon.... People are *turning in* their 204 area code for a 701 - North Dakota Area code....

A growing number of Manitobans are dialling up big savings on their cell phones by hanging up on Canadian service providers.Myron Penner, a trucker based in Blumenort, Man., pays Verizon $200 amonth for 6,000 minutes of talk time anywhere in North America.


Speaks volumes... and now that Verizon's gone off the deep end with unlimited data plans, this trend could extend beyond Manitoba's Borders......
