  • No doting as Delhi deals with diverse delays

    I’m not a betting man but the latest announcement on the elusive Indian 3G license auction has me wondering if a small wager against it happening is not a good bet! This is despite Telecom Minister, Andimuthu Raja, confirming that the 3G license auction will start, as planned, on January 14 th , 2010. It seems like eons since the spectrum auction was first mooted and there here have been reports of further time setbacks due to issues with the release of military radio spectrum and a delay in sending...
  • Cloud Security - Bah Humbug!

    I’m not sure if my colleague Jim Warner had anything to do with this but industry pundit, Phil Wainewright, wrote in his popular blog on ZDNet that if he reads one more article about “the security problem inherent in the size and structure of clouds,” then he swears he will burst a blood vessel. He pulls no punches in shooting down the security ‘scares’ emanating from a number of sources and draws analogy to buildings and their inherent lack of security.

    HP has just launched a Communications as a Service (Caas) program designed to enable service providers to offer small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) cloud-based communications services delivered on an outsourced basis and priced as a utility, like electricity. According to HP, by using CaaS, wireless, wireline and broadband companies can grow the enterprise side of their businesses by providing SMBs with "one-stop shop" outsourcing for four key applications: self-service interactive voice...
  • Security Clouding Cloud Future

    It’s official, at least according to the latest report from Cisco , cloud computing is being held back by corporate concerns about security. That, in itself, is no surprise but the reasons for those concerns should be. The report states that with each advance in technology that enhances connectivity and communication, the migration from the ‘traditional’ office environment, where work happens behind fortified network walls, will intensify. The traditional corporate perimeter, with clearly identifiable...
