A Step Towards Protecting Net Neutrality

A Step Towards Protecting Net Neutrality

By Michael Fauscette on February 4, 2015

It was rumored for the past few weeks that this would be the week that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would preview new rules to protect net neutrality (if you want more background on net neutrality and the issues I wrote this post last year). Today on Wired.com, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler explained the proposal […]

The Best Cloud Computing Companies And CEOs To Work For In 2014

The Best Cloud Computing Companies And CEOs To Work For In 2014

By Louis Columbus on March 3, 2014

2014 continues to be a year marked by the accelerating hiring cycles across nearly all cloud computing companies. Signing bonuses of $3K to $5K for senior engineers and system design specialists are becoming common, and the cycles from screening to interviews to offers is shortening.  The job market in the cloud computing industry is leaning in favor of applicants […]

Mad Men and the UNIX Wars

Mad Men and the UNIX Wars

By Susan Scrupski on May 21, 2013

I’ve been cleaning out my closets and finding some real gems.  I came across my old ad portfolio a few days ago. With all the increasing tension between transparency and privacy and the role of Internet freedoms, it’s hard to believe there was once a time not too long ago that computers didn’t “talk” to […]

Does anybody have leverage with Apple?

Does anybody have leverage with Apple?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on October 30, 2012

responds Dan Hesse of Sprint to Charlie Rose in this interview
Wow, I never thought I would hear a telecom CEO say that about any device maker. It is the new reality as I wrote in my recent book:

Prior to Apple introducing the iPhone, carriers pai…

Transportation, Sustainability and CRM

By Denis Pombriant on May 9, 2012

Sustainability and CRM There was an interesting article in the New York Times last week, “When Flying 720 Miles Takes 12 Hours”   about airlines but the subtext was all about CRM, or at least where CRM has to go.  If you know me at all, you know I closely attend to macroeconomics and energy […]

Fine Print

Fine Print

By Vinnie Mirchandani on April 9, 2012

We have all seen pharmaceutical commercials with all kinds of nauseating side effects listed. I think technology ads need some similar caveats. Here are some examples 1. AT&T The first vignette in the commercial should say “Apple says the iPhone Siri will support Italian in 2012. The young man is shown using the Telecom Italia […]

Don’t forget – where your cloud apps are hosted helps determine their carbon footprint

Don’t forget – where your cloud apps are hosted helps determine their carbon footprint

By Tom Raftery on December 21, 2011

Back in July of this year (2011), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), in conjunction with Verdantix, released a report titled Cloud Computing – The IT Solution for the 21st Century [PDF warning] which erroneously claims Cloud Computing is Green. Shortly after it was released, I wrote a long post outlining exactly where the report was […]

Verizons repeated miscues with the iPhone

Verizons repeated miscues with the iPhone

By Vinnie Mirchandani on August 5, 2011

Its unlimited iPhone data plan was a differentiator from AT&T, but it could not resist moving to tiered plans. Why? Ostensibly because smartphone users are “data hogs”.  Well, here is a reality check from Consumer Reports “…the median Verizon smart phone customer gets the worst deal. He  pays top dollar, $30 for 2GB, and at […]

The incredibly fragmenting telecom market

The incredibly fragmenting telecom market

By Vinnie Mirchandani on April 7, 2011

Ok, so the title may sound strange as we brace for another round of telecom consolidation via ATT-T-Mobile. But as I recently reviewed family and business telecom expenses for tax filings, I was impressed that AT&T and Verizon are on pace to be less than 20% of our telecom spend after being the dominant vendors […]

Friday Rant: T-Mobile/AT&T -- Procurement Should Voice Anticompetitive Behavior Concerns Immediately

Friday Rant: T-Mobile/AT&T — Procurement Should Voice Anticompetitive Behavior Concerns Immediately

By Jason Busch on March 25, 2011

By now, you’re probably aware of the proposed wireless merger of T-Mobile and AT&T (AT&T is set to acquire T-Mobile for $39 billion). No question, there are winners in mega mergers such as this. Like the investment bankers who are…
