Finally it was Google. Since the initial days of internet social networking, people, specially developers, had been waiting for someone to do this. Although Facebook has already opened up its interface for the developers to develop applications, the interface was pretty much confined in the Facebook domain. Todays people use multiple social networking sites and want single, uniform interface

It looks like a battle field where the battle has just began. Mobile Broadband is the field and no one wants to be left behind. All the big brothers in the telecom world are getting ready for it. No one wants to be left behind. More interestingly, no one wants to follow the other.Sprint-Clearwire: In my previous blogs I have already covered the Sprint-Clearwire story. Both of them together

This is by far my best find this month (Thanks to my friend Raju who pointed me to this). The blog of Padmasree Warrior, CTO of Motorola. Meet one of the most admirable and charismatic woman of current time. If you already don't know her, read her biography here (Motorola) and here (Wikipedia).I was amazed to find that this lady manages time to write blogs out of her understandably busy

Yesterday I visited this wonderful event. My friend Rajiv, who is also a budding entrepreneur, was insisting me for quite some time to visit the MoMo meetings. He is one of the organizers of this monthly event. Thanks to some pre-planning of my works, yesterday I could manage enough time to attend that. It was conducted in the cafeteria of the Aztecsoft Ltd building on inner ring road. Me,

In recent times, the telecom world saw a series of high-profile resignations. AT&T chief Ed Whitacre resigned last June. Then there were Sony Ericson's CEO Miles Flint, HTC's USA head, AT&T CEO Stan Stigman. But probably the most talked about of those was the resignation of Gary Forsee from the post of CEO of Sprint. Its not only because it has left Sprint with "finding the CEO" as

It has been several years since the term IMS has become more than familiar in the Telecom domain. By now it has its own critics and fans in the world. I was curious to know whether there are any open source efforts and investments going on in this technology. The result was bit surprising. I could figure out only one prominent open source project for IMS core. The project is from Fraunhofer

In yesterday's news I read that Carl Icahn thinks Motorola, the American multinational communications company, should be split up. He also mentioned, in that interview given to CNBC, that the company's mobile devision worth $10 billion. Which, according to him, is next to nothing."Motorola has great value. If you really split Motorola up, which I still think should happen ... you're buying that

Its funny! You see some one in the market using a fascinating multi-touch screen, floating his fingers over the surface of the phone to move from one colorful page to other, effortlessly. You ask him if his phone is the legendary iPhone and feel that you already know the answer. But he answers you "No". Well! don't be surprised. Since a number of iPhone clones are already on the go. Take the

The recent announcements by Sprint and Clearwire to go on a Wi-MAX deployment spree, by 2008, has several interesting aspects to look after. These two firms are going on an spectrum sharing agreement based on the spectrum they have received on the latest US bid. Sprint is having the bigger share of the agreement, roughly 65%. They plan for an deployment for about 180 million subscribers.

While the term Dual Mode Handset (DMH) is becoming popular nowadays with large number of WiFI (And rather optimistically, WiMAX) deployments worldwide, I came across the term Dual Lime Mobile phones. What impressed me about the concept of Dual Line Mobile phones is the very fact that there is nothing new, nothing unknown, but it yet makes so much business sense.Unlike DMHs, conceptually, Dual
