NaaS - The Possibility of Programmable Networks
Point to Point for a lot less but what is really cool about today is that trends such as cloud, video, BYOD, and big data are set to help you increase productivity and take better care of your customers. And once again, the network is playing a central role. Without a network that listens, responds and adapts to your work habits, life becomes pretty tough, slow, and expensive.

Reaction from the telco world after Tagare cable meeting disappointment in the middle east. Can a Telco really walk past millions of dollars in savings in this climate?

A very broad definition for bandwidth trading needs an agreement between buyers and sellers.
The network topologies in which trading bandwidth would make sense both from a business and technical perspective are clearly available today.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no gap between what the current routing protocols allow carriers to do and what carriers would like to do in order to...

Silicon Valley to Australia and back again
When you need to get your data, video or content across the world - usually you would go to your carrier and say please give me a quote and they will send you a quote for a 12 months supply of their bandwidth. Usual story, locked in to a contract and you probably don’t use it all.
How useful would it be if you joined a marketplace where you could pay by the hour or by the day to send that...

IT and Telco's Kodak moment?
“You cannot fight the future.”
Whether it was Kodak fighting digital cameras or Nokia fighting a touch screen phone, evidence is everywhere of large companies getting left behind. AT&T used to be a giant wire line phone company that controlled how many Americans communicated with each other. Now it is a mobile phone provider and only a component of the way Americans communicate....

Im not just saying it because he is, I am saying it because he totally sees the reality of .::mobsource as an IT Group buying business that crowd-sources IT buyers and connects them with IT suppliers. The lights go on for many and we now are starting to take shape.

Infrastructure buyers.. what are you doing?
I heard it said recently by one of Australia’s “rock star” CIOs that you need to get out of infrastructure that adds no value - I took it that he meant adding no value from a business perspective, i.e., is it aligned with the company direction? will it make you be better than your competition..yadda, yadda yadda.. !
In my humble opinion, and I have been in IT for 15 years,...

Why is a new procurement model needed and why is it so important right now?
well, because the IT spending recession may be showing signs of being over, but the recovery is weak and also because Retailers and financial service organizations—apart from insurance— are showing recessionary characteristics with a number of large global banks under increasing pressure to cut costs, capital expenditure...
