Is the Phone Number (DID) Dead?

I had this idea to share with the world of telecom-related providers that the phone number is not dead, even though we have social networking, cell phones,email, instant messengers, and tons of unified and converged communications solutions.

So, I emailed Hugh Goldstein my idea in the form of a Power Point presentation. And ... ITEXPO West has accepted.

Topic: Voice Interconnect and Peering Conference during ITEXPO West! Visit http://www.itexpo.com/ to sign up to attend, sponsor, exhibit.

Description: As VoIP services, presence, app markets and social networking begin to merge and dominate the consumer's Internet focus, are e.164 telephone numbers a thing of the past? Evidence suggests this is far from the case, in fact, LNP and DID wholesale providers are opening up new opportunities for e.164 numbers to enable new communications services and take a key functional role in the integration of new Web communications platforms and experiences. This panel will explore the trends and opportunities, and give use cases for social networking, Video telephony and nongeographic number business and use scenarios.

Session Title: Be sure to come to the Apps & Numbers: How 3.164 Numbers are Enabling New Communications Services session at http://www.itexpo.com/.

Brough Turner, Entrepreneur and Engineer, from Dancing to Internet Access

A recent podcast of ours is more a conversation with Brough Turner and not really an interview. A full transcription is on Techistan. Brough is an engineer and entrepreneur who I met at the VON 2006 show the first time. He discusses his own history from phone hacking at MIT to morphing many times in business, making some money on the way, craigslist, wireless, 4G and 3G, one laptop per child, dancing, and his ideas for changing the way people access the Internet. Listen and/or read, whatever your preferred information receipt style at http://www.techistan.net/2010/02/05/spend-a-few-minutes-with-brough-turner/.

Flight Fees and Taxes Almost Equal to the Flight Cost Itself

Can you believe this? I found a lower price elsewhere, but I didn't find anything different in regards to the taxes and fees for roundtrip flight from Florida to Barcelona, Spain for GSMA Mobile World Congress on Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwired, Kayak, or on the actual airlines' websites.

See you at the conference in Barcelona. I'll be there from Feb. 15-20, working on behalf of our magazine Techistan and developing business for the 16,200 or so service providers (wired and wireless, mixed with social media quite often) who use DIDXchange for direct inward dialing over SIP and IAX2.

How many Mb are in a Gb?

I'm in a discussion at the Starbuck's in the Destin Commons in Florida. My husband and I are her for the Ironman Triathlon he is participating in. I'm working, but took a break to discuss the following ... One lady has a Verizon wireless USB card. She says she has used 802.539 Mb of her 5Gb allocated to her plan. She wants to know how many MB are in 1 Gb. She's worried that she's almost there. As I can remember the following is true, but there is quite an argument here so maybe I'm wrong?

1024 bytes is equal to 1Kb

1024 Kb is equal to 1 Mb

1024 Mb is equal to 1 Gb

Right?

Share your thoughts on Mobile Myths

Go to Linkedin to take part in the conversation. BTW, we recommend* participating in some great wireless-related conferences such as 4G World, CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment, and 4G Wireless Evolution, all taking place in the USA in September and October 2009.

Myths to support or debunk:
1: Users want power and aesthetics. Features are everything.
2: What we really need is a Swiss army knife.
3: Focus groups and other traditional market analysis tools are the best way to determine user needs.
4: If it works in Silicon Valley, it will work anywhere.
5: Every application on the planet will be accessible via mobile devices.
6: The industry is converging on a UI standard.
7: Highly usable systems are just around the corner.
8: One underlying operating system will dominate.
9: Mobile devices will be free-or nearly free.
10: Advanced data-oriented services are just around the corner.
11: Shrink your fingers, big buttons and screens are going away

Very interesting question added by Anthony Dubidad of Akendi company.

Come meet with us from DIDXchange at 4G Wireless Evolution and ITEXPO West, Sept. 1-3, 2009, booth 125.

Machine 2 Machine Technology at CTIA Wireless and I.T. Entertainment

I admit, I didn't know what M2M meant when I first noted that CTIA Wireless and I.T. Entertainment Conference will have a zone titled with that acronym.

Have you noticed the increasing plethora of wireless positioning technology in 3G networks? Note the mash-ups with global navigation satellite systems, "telematics are re-emerging to offer savings, efficiency, and environmentally sustainable solutions in all major industries."

So, the questions may be... how can this benefit your company and if it is worth it, how do you get started? Berg Insight analysts "estimated that from 37.5 million in 2008, wireless M2M network connections will grow at a compound annual rate of 37.9 percent during the next five years, reaching 186 million connections globally." That is no small number.

Just like in any new technology, you may currently need to buy from a variety of suppliers to put together the big picture. It is causing businesses who never thought they would ever work together to do so such "as fixed, mobile or satellite operators, short-range wireless systems (e.g. ZigBee, Bluetooth, or RFID), hardware (e.g. chips, antennas, modules, and sensors), and software applications that interface with location data and mapping technologies. But as the technology matures, some winning companies will emerge with turnkey solutions."

Gather information about "Smart Telemetry can automate interaction between your assets and your operations.

Topics to include:

•The role of SIM cards and SmartSIM in vehicle and asset management
•Mesh networks, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE & the promise of ubiquitous connectivity
•Maintaining client privacy and security in supply chains
•Measuring return on investment in industrial technologies"

Our DIDXchange is a media partner for CTIA Wireless and I.T. Entertainment scheduled for Oct 7-9, 2009 and other conferences listed at http://www.didx.net/events.

Les Paul and the Media Server Industry

Need input on this Linkedin discussion! Carl Ford has posed this discussion question, and I know that over a 1000 on my Facebook network are in the IP communications industry are qualified to discuss plus thousands of DIDX members. Several hundred of my connections are in the music industry, too. So please login to your DIDX account and participate.

The question is ...
Besides the electric guitar, Les Paul was a the father or dubbing and overlaying voices and sounds, the impact was to create media mixing, which directly relates to what we do in telecommmunications.

Does any one have more direct ties to that history, they would like to share? Answer on Linkedin.

Bandwidth vs Applications on Mobile, 4GWE

I just received this interesting analysis and offer from Carl Ford via email and want to share it with you.

As communications evolve to the next generation of wireless broadband, the customer’s device selection seems to be more about bandwidth than the applications. With RIMs return to prominence as the leading smart phone, customers are choosing a device for reasons beyond simply the applications.

We can assume then, that bandwidth matters.

But this is not where the story ends. The story is evolving. With new phones coming from Google and Palm, the market is surely going to expand.

When it does, what is the case for the new versus the old, and how can a carrier
support the growth? As a leading wireless carrier, Verizon has had to face the
realities of working with device manufacturers to maintain its’ leadership role.
What decisions can carriers make to retain their existing customers in a saturated
market? What device will help retain and keep customers happy? Is this device all
about the applications, the bandwidth? How does a carrier ensure
that the network can support a device’s broadband applications and what are the business case issues to support the deployment of advanced wireless broadband devices?

At 4GWE, you will get answers to these questions and more as we investigate new applications and business models for 4G devices and services, MID device adoption, MID impact on 4G demand and more.

Register NOW, don't miss the opportunity to engage in the discussions that will help you and your company solidify your wireless strategy.

Reserve your place, and receive early bird pricing.

Need to be Local at GSMA World Mobile Congress?

GSMA World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, Spain... Feb 16-19, 2009 is looking really good for business development in telephony related areas. We (I Suzanne Bowen) would like to meet you, so call me during the event at my local Barcelona DID phone number +34931845154 or add me on Twitter as suzannebowen and let me know there you'll be at GMSA.

Anyone can be local during GSMA with a Barcelona phone number.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Example:
You can use Fring, Nimbuzz, Truphone, Rebtel* or many others as your SIP agent. If the SIP agent you download does not offer Barcelona DIDs, you may be able to get one from www.virtualphoneline.com (retail, smb, consumer) or www.didx.net (wholesale where there is a minimum of 50 DID to avoid a monthly $50 fee). There are also several 100 more companies out there that offer local international phone numbers!

* I was just talking with Fredrik of Rebtel and have more news for you: "they have local numbers in Barcelona. Sign up and add a secondary phone number to your account. You can register up to 5 numbers to call FROM."
