Just noticed that the key words phrase "Direct Inward Termination" is being used more and more in searches that land on my blogs, so I asked several to explain what it's all about. I'll add more answers as I get them in the coming year. This blog is meant to be INTERACTIVE and COLLABORATIVE. ;-)
John Cirner of TalkMotion: Suzanne, in the 15 or so years I worked in the PBX hardware industry we would associate "direct inward termination" as the programmed association of a DID number to a specific device. Applications such as DID to fax machine or DID to system port (or modems in the old days) for remote programming interface, would be common applications.
Delwar Hossain Khan, member of Freedom2Speak and Ecomm: "I have not dealt with telecom for years now but as far as I remember DID is an old telecom term, referring 2 a particular feature of PABX system, when caller seizes a trunk port, gets a 2nd dial tone and connects with the destination number(usually a Pabx extension port).
If we consider the international telecom network as one PABX system, this could be a simplified explanation.

Glossary on Higher Ground, Inc. web site:
DID (DIRECT INWARD DIALING)
A combination of features between the central office of the telephone company and the PBX. It allows a party calling into a PBX to be directly connected to a station associated to the number dialed, without the assistance of the operator.

Cell Phone Discussion 1: Sony Ericsson
Sorry didn't mean to cut this guy's discussion of his new cell phone Sony Ericsson on Du mobile service in Dubai, but at least you hear his key thoughts about it compared to his Nokia.
Any time we try a new gadget, it's tough to learn the new processes. It happened when I switched from a Tandy 1000 HX to the Mac Classic and then to a Gateway PC and then to Dell, Toshiba, Acer, Asus Linux Ubuntu and Dell. (I've kept the last 2, still using.)
And from Kyocera on Virgin Wireless to Blackberry on Verizon and now very happy with the Nokia E61i on AT&T... except SMS fees and expensive global roaming. Don't do it! :-(
I've got another video to add soon where users are describing experience with IPhone, Nokia E61 and Blackberry while in Dubai. We had just finished an evening of the DIDX Dinner and Desert Safari.

Compare/Contrast McCain and Obama's Economic Policies
The following are not the opinions, statements or beliefs of Super Technologies, Inc.
Have you read all the blog posts regarding the upcoming USA elections? Wow, it is absolutely exciting.
I'd like to respond to one that I just read which was attempitng to summarize Obama's economic policy by stating that as a restaurant patron, he would not give the waiter a tip and instead, give it to a homeless person down the street.
Not quite, but I'll give proof at the end of this post.
My thoughts:
Seems the McCain economic policy...might be...give the $10 tip to the manager in the hope it would stimulate more business for the restaurant and more income for the waiter. Trickle down economics.
Here's what the Obama campaign is saying about the tax plan:
1. 95 percent of workers receive a tax cut of $500; $1,000 for
working couples/families.
2. Tax cuts for low- and middle-income seniors, homeowners, uninsured, families sending a child to college or looking to save and accumulate wealth.
3. Cut corporate taxes for firms that invest and create jobs in the United States, and provide tax credits to reduce the cost of healthcare and to reward investments in innovation. No capital gains tax for small businesses.
4. Dramatically simplify taxes by consolidating existing tax credits.
5. No family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase. Families making more than $250,000 will pay either the same or lower tax rates than they paid in the 1990s. Tax relief for middle class families is larger than the revenue raised by tax changes for families over $250,000.

Here's a comparison between McCain's and Obama's positions, taken from the attachment:
...Both candidates pledge to lower taxes overall, but the key point to the debate is who will be paying the bills.
Sen. Obama favors tax cuts for middle-class workers and tax increases for top earners -- families that make more than $250,000 and individuals making more than $200,000 a year. He wants to extend most of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, but raise the top two marginal rates to 36% and 39.6%.
Sen. Obama wants to eliminate taxes on seniors making less than $50,000 a year and to provide a "Making Work Pay" tax credit of 6.2% of the first $8,100 in wages (about $500) for individuals earning less than $75,000 a year. Outside analysts estimate that the top 1% of wage earners would see an average tax increase of $19,000.
Sen. McCain wants to permanently extend all 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, raise the personal exemption for each dependent from $3,500 gradually over several years to $7,000 and keep the top tax rate at 35%, leaving "upper-income taxpayers" with "the most to gain under McCain's plan," according to a report by Deloitte Tax. The nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center estimates that the top 1% would see a tax cut of more than $125,000.

Schuyler Deerman EMEA Digium and DVComm's Sabu Thomas and Deepak Mahtani
Aughh! My Du mobile service in Dubai cut this off before Schuyler Deerman (Digium EMEA Manager) and the guys from DVCOM (Sabu Thomas and Deepak Mahtani) could finish their discussion of participating in Gitex 2008 in Dubai. We (DIDXchange) were about 8 booths down from them in the Zabeel Hall.
