Set-top box central to rollout of IPTV

[23.05.2008 first posted on silicon republic] Television delivered through internet connections (IPTV) will struggle to gain market traction as a standalone service and needs to be integrated into a home network along with cable, satellite and free-to-air TV and VoIP and telephony services, analyst firm Gartner has said.

Filipinos in Second Life: pipedream or growth market?

The Inquirer.net has a story about the Cebu-based metaverse development company called Avatrian that is looking to bring Filipino businesses into Second Life. I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, the Philippines is largely on the wrong side of the Digital Divide. Looking at ITU statistics from 2007, the Philippines has 2.37 internet subscribers per 100 inhabitants, only 1.1% on broadband. (In comparison, South Korea has 30 subscribers per 100, all of whom are on broadband.) Given

According to Mr. Seacrest and his handy teleprompter, over 97 million votes were cast...which is just staggering. Keep that number in mind when the election comes 'round in November...I think you'll find

Indeed, according to DSL Reports, deployment is well under way already. That gets Cablevision subscribers hooked on this form of mobility for their wireless services before Verizon can

A Better VOIP Client

I dislike phones. Not so much the phones themselves, but their interface. The basic interface, a bunch of numbers and some special keys, is bad enough, but when this interface is extended it's always a mess. I don't think I've ever seen two phones with the same mechanism for programming the speed dial buttons and the conferencing features are always hopelessly arcane. Even something as simple as putting someone on/off hold can be ridiculously complicated. This is one of the reasons I prefer VOI

Why Has Your Business NOT Integrated VoIP

I just posted about a white paper from Quintum in my last post, and that triggered a thought...a question. If your business hasn't already integrated VoIP in some form or fashion, why not? What's holding you back?

New Budget Bill for Electric and other Updates

Our 6 month update of our electric bill came this past week.  Last year the bill had been $104 per month.  It was increased last fall after we got the new AC unit to $124 a month.  That was okay mainly because we had used it as supplemental heat that kept us from leaving the natural gas boiler for the radiators on as long.  That meant the gas bill had actually dropped from $165 to $126 at the same time. Now that we’ve been through a winter with very little electric use the budget is set to adj
