Re: The UK will block pornography by default starting later this year

I understand and support blocking of illegal content, but where do you draw the line when it comes to blocking other content. Who says what kind of content is to be censored and what is not? It's an interesting angle to a serious problem, but also the start of a slipery slope.

Shame the photo looks photoshop'd... however, I'd love one of these!

Similarly though, it assumes an open door policy

Reminds me of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, very cool though

Re: The ‘Cloud’ has a silver lining for British business

ScottStonham — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:58:12 -0000

The term Cloud gets used and abused all over the place, with definitions and meanings that are quite diverse and confusing. Many business already depend on Cloud technologies, whether they think of them like that or not. Moving more and more of a company's mission critical capabilities to the Cloud needs consideration and planning.

Re: Mobile VoIP - Fixed Mobile Convergence - Next Big Leap for Mobile VoIP Service Providers

ScottStonham — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 08:49:59 -0000

The successful adoption and deployment of mVoIP by mobile carriers could be the difference between being a value added service provider and a bitpipe, however, voice revenues are, rightly, carefully guarded. Cable and fixed carriers have a lot to gain from mVoIP, including delivering their own over-the-top applications on the mobile carriers network. In either case, mVoIP could also bring new revenues to these carriers, in particular in the hotly contested roaming markets.
This is an incredibly exciting area, and we are asking innovative telecom execs to share their opinions and ideas in our executive summit in Berlin this May, entitled "Be more than just cheap access to Skype and Google".

Re: Facebook for Android demonstrates platform’s consumer credentials

I've been as much of a sceptic of Android as anyone, ever since the techies in my last company started dancing around the office on the discovery of a command prompt. However, after recently playing with a "yet to be released" Android device, I am now seeing how this could be something entirely more interesting for the con & prosumer. Never quite an iPhone, however.

Re: Stop selling Ringtones and start selling Frequency Data

ScottStonham — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 04:19:42 -0000

this is exactly the kind of data that will be the savior of the mobile industry, whether that be the mobile operators, content producers, handset manufacturers or others.This kind of frequency or usage data enables so many benefits, it's frankly surprising that we haven't got there sooner...of course, ODPs were supposed to be the vehicle to drive this ....

And who said banner advertising on mobile wouldn't work! ;-)

It's case studies like these that are destroying confidence in mobile advertising, the model is just wrong. Once we work out how to get a true advertising model on mobile, then we will see the cash. Until then I guess you have a new contributor to the office coffee fund.

Thanks for sharing Ewan.

Re: A-GPS in a Sim Card from Sagem Orga & BlueSky

ScottStonham — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:41:52 -0000

Even if it did have an antenna built into it, making GPS and A-GPS work in a handset takes a lot more than just bundling the technology into the phone. It requires significant tuning and careful antenna placement. As already mentioned, the typical location of a sim card is not the ideal location for an A-GPS antenna (or receiver).
