Buying your Soft-Sim mobile. Who’s taking control? Who should get it?

September 14, 2011

This post talks “Sim-free” or “soft-SIM” solutions and implications. At one time it looked like iPhone 5 would launch with a soft-sim. Today that seems unlikely – although it certainly isn’t off the table. We do know the next generation GSM/CDMA iPhone5 solution will make changing between operators simpler – if unlocked!

The future of the mobile won’t be defined by the majority

September 8, 2011

Today, looking for inspiration I was re-reading a proposal I’d written in early 2009 for a research project looking to the 2012 future for mobility. It didn’t eventuate at the time.

Periodically, I end up ranting about Comcast particularly since moving last year. My connections have been up and down. I don’t get the Xfinity Performance 12mbs+ or anywhere near it.

No Mr Bell! I want context and your profile! Who’s calling???

March 10, 2009

This is a comment I left on JP Rangaswami’s blog a few minutes ago. He writes a lovely post about Alexander Graham Bell. I read it and thought we need a better way to augment the setting up of voice calls. I don’t see enough focus there. So this is the comment I left. I [...]
