Fresh thinking
In a previous article, I discussed how telecoms is facing a growing complexity crisis. To resolve this crisis, a new approach is required. Here I explore how that complexity can be tamed.
The telecoms industry is facing a systemic problem of high operational complexity and excessive cost. We take a look at the root causes, and how to tackle them.
I want you to pause for a second, and think carefully about this one question: What was the greatest moment of professional achievement in your life? Hold that time in mind. Remember the feeling. How would you describe such ‘total success’ in your work?
I have some good news to share. The European Parliament voted to reject the ‘net neutrality’ fundamentalist amendments to the already flawed proposals they had helped to create. The bad news is that the law that we now have is merely ludicrous, rather than insane. Furthermore, it doesn’t properly protect end users, hold ISP feet to the […]
This third and final article completes our introduction to ∆Q and the new science of network performance. It follows on from the first and second articles.
This is the second in a series of articles introducing ∆Q, the breakthrough new science of network performance. For the first article, click here.
I would like to offer you a different way of thinking about networks. The ∆Q framework (shortened to “ΔQ”) may be hard to type, but it’s quite easy to understand. As the ‘ideal’ metric, it is also rather useful, since it enables the precision engineering of performance and cost. In this three-part series, we will take a […]
My attention was drawn last night to the article Europe Is About to Adopt Bad Net Neutrality Rules. Here’s How to Fix Them by Barbara van Schewick from Stanford Law School.
The achievable ‘state of the possible’ in telecoms is a long way ahead the deployed ‘state of the art’. The new science of network performance (i.e. the ∆Q framework) enables a large leap in customer experience and cost. However, the perception among operators is that only relatively small, incremental improvements are within reach.
Broadband is a relatively new technology, and its underlying science is still being developed. We have long understood the ‘right’ units in other engineering disciplines: mass, length, hardness, etc. What is the ‘right’ unit for broadband?
I am an expert on the telecommunications business. I help senior executives to make sense of what is happening, anticipate what is coming, and to act decisively in the face of uncertainty. My long-term professional goal is to facilitate three paradigm shifts: for data networking to become a true science; for voice to evolve its own native form of hypermedia; and for cloud-based enterprises to have the most efficient and effective possible means to communicate with their customers - Martin Geddes.
