NBN Satellite one Small Step for Australia

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 05:47:00 +0000

Finally, Finally!

Lets just say If Kevin Rudds Era had one legacy it would be a satellite.

Julia Gillard And Steven Conroy Should be rightly proud that IF the rest of the party was a was hout this fireworks moment should leave a shining star in Geostationery orbit above our sparse land.

Telstra's annoucement adds Fuel to the fire of NBN

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Mon, 06 Apr 2015 11:40:00 +0000

Telstra's Move into the Dual Channel Wireless delivery mode Provides a watershed moment that the Major Party (Liberals and Labour) NBN posturing during the recent election was Politically fuelled hubris. Only the most naive elector could have considered either sides arguments to be representative of a mature view of the most critical piece of missing Australian infrastructure.

Australia's needs for robust Infrastructure Plans are unclear. It would be easier to say dissarray as it appears Steve Conroy's stewardship has only only halted the backwards slide that we suffered under the Previous Federal government's 11 years.

Wireless Goes Primetime

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 07:06:00 +0000

Wireless Internet has been the poor cousin in many ways for most of the developed world. Performance has been notably hit and miss and the mainstream engineering ethos has been often characterised by the refrain 'What do you expect? its WIRELESS !'. Clearly technologists have dropped the ball in most respects as modern human activity is destined to be wireless. In other areas of human endevour we have consiously and diligently pushed marginal technology into the mainstream and NOW is Wireless communications time.

Carrier Carry Bag For Phone Vendors

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Fri, 07 May 2010 04:02:00 +0000

Difficult new regulatory environments are nothing new to Carriers. Carriers are straining under their partner's business models, as The Big 3 Motorola Nokia and New Boy Apple fight for the palm space spending zone.

Australia's Competition watchdog the Austrlaian Competition and Consumer Commission ( akin the the USA's Department of Justice Antitrust Division) has announced that a recent decision to enforce matching HARDWARE warranty and Carrier Plan terms. this is a fundamental shift in the this arena as consumers are faced commonly with longer term plans than the warranty offered.

"The ACCC believes the handset is an integral part of the package and if it fails through no fault of the consumer, the company is responsible for replacement or repair."

Historically the device and the connection have co-existed as parallel elements under the contractual umbrella of the Carriers Plan but now they are inextricably to be linked.

Prediciton?

Prices will rise to cover the cost of broken devices (especially iPads)
Carriers will stop Offering Subsidised high value Phones

BumpTop Gets Google Launch

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Wed, 05 May 2010 01:03:00 +0000

As we accelerate toward a near future of converged communications devices with 3D, TV, Multi - Touch interactive, Skype enabled interfaces. It seems Google have executed a flanking move and grabbed a cornerstone technology from BumpTop.

This move is not without precedent as we recall the Apple aquisition of Fingerworks the now Famous Touch interface Research developer. If you've forgotten watch this and keep you ipod handy for reference

Adobe TED Presentation by Fingerworks' Jeff Han

For old timers who may remember Sony's attempt in the early 90's on the palmtop platforms of the time with a metaphorical 3D Spatial interface After 18 years the 3d World comes to Google as a Desktop.

The Sony Platformed MagicCap interface was a break though concept at the time but the platform like the following Apple Newton was just a bridge too far at the time.
Here's some snapshots for your research list.

Prediction
1. You won't see this launched as an application but your will see It's technology embedded in the upcoming Google apps
2. you will be wanting one of these Lenovo W510 Series with the "hidden option of Multi-touch

For the Hidden option read the Parts spec sheet ( you'll see the W510 has a replacement part for a touch screen ) It seems this is still not orderable perhaps some one else has snapped up all the production ?

Or the now Shipping 24 Inch ThinkVision Multitouch Screen for your exiting deskop or laptop.

Skype to Charge for Business Control Panel ?

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:46:00 +0000

Can it be ?
Skype the champion of build it and they will come with now 12 million online users at any one time are about to Monetise their corporate Disbursement system.

Currently Coporates have been able to "disburse"or allocate Credits to Users in the Business Control panel.

Future

I received this 'Nice but NASTY' Email recently.

Blogger_Communigate

The impact is that Coprorates will now have to create "NEW" accounts for staff to receive Skype-in numbers + they will have to pay for the privilege of putting money in and spending it !

Oops and here I am ranting ?

Its a great Idea! I'm running off to buy ebay stocks

Owning your MindSpace

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:15:00 +0000

If you're like me then having time to think is a true luxury. Task and communication overload compresses the day into a series of value exchanges that often leaves little time for consideration.
I've just spent/ invested / or wasted 40 minutes of valuable time catching up on some todo's that have sat unprioritised in the back of my mindspace for some months. I had some areas in both text and Visual realms to investigate.
Don't laugh, I finally had time to look at tiny URL service and of course to test it I scanned some of my subscribed spam for a long URL and created this BIG tiny url http://tinyurl.com/fluxcapacitor
The irony of tiny url's is that they let you make a url that can be BIGGER than the original. This means it can carry its own meaning BEFORE you click. In a world of compression perhaps a longer URL could be good?
In the visual realm I installed GoogleTalk video Conference Client on my XP platform. I await a like minded soul to try it out. I also spent some time looking at I believe will be the next interface trend, CoolIRIS. It's a big leap and will bridge us into the gesture based communications realm easily. I even found a feeling within, a rare moment of connection with some propaganda from a recent AU_US political meeting have a look and tell me the world is the same now that two leaders let their staff post "happy-snaps" on Flickr?

I think the Tsunami thing is over now
I'm just tweeted,
oh hang on this isn't tweetland its Blogger land !

Tweeting goes Jpeg

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:17:00 +0000

Prioritising from your in box is a nightmare I live so Late last year I declared a Triage system and have since taken some time to look outside my in box for the next tsunami of todo's. I wanted some way of selectively publishing my status AND subscribing to others. In a way I already use Sametime, Facebook, Linked-in and Skype's status facilities for different parts of my world but as it is the overhead is just too much to keep them in sync.

I found of course Tweeting via Twitter. Late last qtr in 2008 I joined the flock and have to say found the experience a little less than productive. I was looking I expect for a way to dynamically link all of my disparate status's into one interface. Its yet to come but in an immature niche there is always a fast starter. Tracking your world via RSS Feed is one thing, following the flock and tweeting is much more interactive, but now we have a new dimension Twitpic!

Simple It adds Pictures were 140 Characters could convey some basics Twitpic fill in the gaps.How Deliciously simple.

In a few short years Twitter text will be a little like the scaffolding that surrounded the pyramids - GONE Twitpic could not have existed without twitter and will by my reckoning become the next killer app. Even FEDEX and UPS will have to TWIPIC parcel locations lets See if Noah Everett can survive the ride?

Video Presence Goes Mobile

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:38:00 +0000

Call Centres will shift to Video Centres as Mobile Video Proximity devices are flooding the market, 2009 will make video calling a primetime facility. Children born in 2000 and later will grow up expecting to be able to video conference any one any where. HTC Launch a well featured Windows Mobile 6.x based Handset that utilises Next Gen HSDPA Mobile services. Apple Launch their Video Phone Precursor the IPhone taking their ISight technology a step closer Not to be left out Nokia and Kurzweil - National Federation of the Blind Reader software comes packaged for the vision impaired

Mobile Landline VOIP Integration

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 08:17:00 +0000

Why on earth would you want a VOIP Mobile and Landline Vox operated interface ? read on !

Well it is happening faster than most of us imagine, The Congregation of Proximity services has begun with products like Mobivox. As the technology for automated voice assisted routing and call hand off accelerates we'll see the hegemony of the telco and comms equipment providers fall by the wayside.

What's it all mean ?

Voice Services that automatically route and provide personal least cost routing of calls is now a reality.
However, the reality is that this is a market so new it's almost hard to understand. The only way to describe it is that our good old telephone handset addiction is coming to an end. The world of Proximity is approaching enabled by the combination of these emerging technologies.

Will my 8 week old daughter understand call forwarding ? and Voicemail ? I think not. The next wave of Toddlers will expect that their communications will be Full DUPLEX multi-channel and essentially chargefree.

We will become immersed in sea of talk, I hope we teach our youngest to SPEAK not just talk.

Travelling on line

noreply@blogger.com (sean__wong) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:44:00 +0000

A Recent discussion with a worldly traveller yeilded this little gem:

"Here's my Tip for business and pleasure travellers with the ususal host of electronics power adapters and chargers.

Before Leaving
Identify all of your auto-switching power supply equipment, (leave the others behind)
Buy a cheap (and therefore lightweight) 4 port power Board (AU$3.99) that you can afford to lose or ditch if space becomes an issue on the return leg.

On arriving at the DEparting Airport
Dont Forget!
When you get to your outbound airport or destination locale buy a universal and usually ubiquitous power adapter ($15 US ) to connect the power board's 4 into one hotel/room socket.

On arrival at your Destination
Go Crazy and use all of your gear, and IF you run the batteries Flat ! DON'T PAMIC!
How will you charge all those items in the budget hotel with just one power socket behind the minibar ?

In your Hotel Room
Remember Don't Panic!
BUT do check that your adapters can handle the local power 110V/ 60Hz or 220/240 /50 HZ
Now one by one connect your New adapter to the cheap 4 Port power board you bought and
Voilla! you have plenty of capacity for phone + laptop + Blackberry +Shaver + Satellite dish +Camera + baby bottle warmer etc etc.

Even the most well equipped comunicator has to sleep ! So you're batteries will be nicely charged before your jetlag is over"

Video Presence

Linksys.com - Products/Business Solutions/Cameras/WVC200
This LinkSys camera is part of the new bread of Proximity tools to come on the the market, It offers the basics for under $500 that would have cost $5000 only 2 years ago. Its wireless nature and remote control features are made useful for remote presence by the 10 person multi view capacity.
More on this Device and it's cultural impact when I implement one in our Webex and Skype Environemnts
