Desktop killed the Radio Star....and others

Do you ever watch Click Online on BBC World? if you lived in the UK do you remember Tomorrow's World.

Both programmes that walk the average Joe through new and emerging technologies and they were scheduled and run by other people.

Today think about how I could sit in front of my PC and do something similar that is relevant to me and my community of like minded people.

PodCast
SkypeCast
Video Logging (Vlogging)
Blogging

All powerful idea centric tools available to you that enable you to share (ramble) your suggestions and opinions.

A weekly show to demonstrate a gadget?
A weekend broadcast...?
Daily Blog?
Online conference?
All of the above or any combination that works for you and your audience.

We have more and more tools at our disposal to reach outside of physical location and have mass contact with others all over the world. A marketing man's dream.....!

It's a desktop publishing revolution and will start soon.

But..... there's always a but right. Reporters sans fontieres (Reporters Without Borders) has updated their list of countries that need to be watched in their attempts to control the internet and activities (like blogging)

But that's just technology and there's only so much a country can do within their sphere of influence.

Thailand's long evolution to Long Term Evolution - the 4G Saga

While much of the world, including some countries that Thailand thinks of as less technologically advanced, are reaping the benefits of 4G; Thailand has yet to get beyond the dabbling stage and jump in with both feet. It seemed to take an eternity to get on to 3G and at least one operator has made the jump to 4G trials.  Now the local regulator has finally (re)set the date for the long awaited auction of the spectrum and details are set to be announced in February. Normally I would be a strong supporter of a free market and all that a regulated market should bring in the way of competition, and therefore when market forces kick in what that then means for consumers in terms of value for money.  However, in this case I am wondering if there is a different answer to the problem. Having watched the mast alliances in Europe and regulator interventions in New Zealand and Australia I think that the antiquated Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT) agreements that Thai mobile opera...

PC over IP - The Teradici Effect

Teradici are hoping to blur the lines between PC and Data Centre. Their solution allows a use to view multiple screens and control the blade PC over IP. This is kind of like the dumb terminals with a new edgy deployment. The intention is that all of the computing power is performed offsite in a centralized area, the Data Centre, and this will save on power and maintenance costs as the engineers are co-located with the hardware and therefore don't have to go out to the client site for basic maintenance.
