Alabama has joined the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, and North Carolina as members of the Arm's Length Adjustment Services (ALAS) Advisory Group, a new project by the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) to develop a joint transfer pricing adjustment service. According to a summary prepared by the project facilitator, Dan Bucks, "[e]ach state in this project has enacted laws requiring the reporting of income to a state in an accurate, true, proper, or fairly representative manner. Such laws authorize each tax agency to take corrective action whenever they find that a corporation has fallen short of the state's income reporting standard."
While early comments from the ALAS Advisory Group suggest that a joint transfer pricing audit program that could be used by several states is the primary goal, other potential objectives or services to be provided include:
The ALAS Advisory Group held its initial meeting on June 2, 2014, and elected Joe Garrett, Deputy Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Revenue, as Chair of the group. The target completion date for approval of the project by the MTC is July 2015, and the next ALAS Advisory Group meeting is scheduled for June 25.

Briefing Paper
The scope of the global climate policy is changing towards the post-2020 situation and the stringent regulation of carbon-intensive activities. A more ambitious climate policy is needed because global climate change shows no signs of abating on the contrary, it seems to be worsening. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the solutions associated with the success of the EUs emissions trading scheme. The latest FIIA Briefing Paper by Jarkko Levänen examines the prospects of Carbon capture technologies as a part of the EUs climate policy.

Arkady Moshes examines the challenges faced by a war-torn Ukraine in the latest FIIA Briefing Paper. The military conflict in the eastern part of Ukraine is the main factor determining also the internal political situation in the country. On the one hand, as long as the conflict calls for national consolidation and strengthens the understanding that only a reformed Ukraine may hope to endure, the war should drive the transformation. On the other hand, the conflict poses a major impediment to the changes, not only because it is a drain on resources, but even more so because it tempts Ukraine to blame its own inaction on objective difficulties.

Working Paper
Anna Kronlund's Working Paper focuses on the topical debates on the war-making powers of the US Congress and the President. President Barack Obamas actions in relation to Libya (2011), Syria (2013), and more recently the "targeted actions against ISIL in Iraq and Syria, have raised discussions about the powers of the President as the Commander-in-Chief vis-à-vis the powers of Congress. If and when should the President seek congressional authorization for the use of US armed forces?

FIIA Analysis
The situation in Eastern Ukraine is often compared with that of Transnistria, the separatist region of Moldova. However, the two cases differ for a number of reasons, all of which will make the Novorossiya project much harder for Russia to sustain than Transnistria. First and foremost, unlike Transnistria, the Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples Republics in their current shape will be unable to influence the everyday political and economic functioning of Ukraine. Senior Research Fellow András Rácz and Programme Director Arkady Moshes compare the separatist regions of Eastern Ukraine to Transnistria in the latest FIIA Analysis.
Briefing Paper
Kristi Raik, Niklas Helwig and Juha Jokela argue that the EU has responded to the Ukraine crisis with a set of political and economic sanctions against Russia which constitute a qualitatively new step in the EU sanction policy. The EU sanctions against Russia are exceptional and have strategic importance due to a combination of three factors: big power rivalry, the context of a major European crisis with global ramifications, and the costs of the sanctions for the EU itself.

FIIA Analysis
The Eurasian Economic Union between Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, due to come into effect from January 2015, consolidates a market of 170 million people with a combined GDP of almost 3 trillion US dollars. On paper, the union has the potential to transform economic relations in the region and to offer an alternative to the EU in the post-Soviet space. However, weak institutions and large asymmetry between member states are continuing to hinder closer ties and the crisis in Ukraine had led to an increasingly hostile international environment. Hence, the Eurasian Economic Union faces an uphill struggle to maintain momentum and deliver the results member states desire, the latest FIIA Analysis argues.
FIIA Analysis
Matthew Hoddie's FIIA Analysis considers two institutional alternatives for managing conflict following the negotiated settlement of civil war. The most common set of institutional structures that former civil war combat-ants adopt are associated with power sharing across the political, military, territorial, and economic dimensions of state power. An alternative is the adoption of power-dividing institutions limiting the scope of government authority and establishing a wide-ranging system of checks and balances intended to manage the competing interests within a country.

FIIA Report 41
The EU eastward 2004 enlargement and the consequent entry of new EU member states into the Schengen area in 2007 resulted in a considerable increase in visa fees and complications concerning visa procedures for applicants. As a result, the Local Border Traffic (LBT) Regulation appeared to be a timely legal tool for the eastern EU member states to mitigate the negative effects of their accession to the Schengen area and to keep the borders ajar for legitimate border-crossing for family, cultural, social and economic reasons. The 2006 EU Regulation makes it possible for the EU countries and Schengen non-EU members to conclude agreements with neighbouring third states on a visa-free land border-crossing regime for border residents. Andrei Yeliseyeu analyses the functioning and potential of the Local Border Traffic Regulation in the latest FIIA Report.
Report 40
Geopolitics is increasingly defined by the strengthening force of stable and secure global flows of goods, resources, finance, people and information. These flows rely on and use the various common domains: the high seas, airspace, space and cyberspace. This report highlights a shift away from territorial geopolitics towards the geopolitics of global flows and global commons, and analyzes the implications of this geopolitical transformation to Finland. The report is the final output of a research project funded by the Scientific Advisory Board for Defence and the National Emergency Supply Agency.

FIIA Analysis 1
Since December 2009, the European Union has been represented abroad by more than 130 delegations, which are an integral part of the new European External Action Service (EEAS). Heidi Maurer and Kristi Raik argue that, following on from an early albeit cautious success, the delegations should take a stronger role in providing input into EU policy-making, promoting European interests abroad, and advancing consensus among member states representatives in the field. The publication launches FIIA Analysis series which provides in-depth analysis of policy-relevant issues in international affairs.

Ylen hiljattain teettämän kyselyn mukaan suomalaiset kannattavat yhteistyön lisäämistä Viron kanssa monilla alueilla.

Näiden tulosten innoittamana A-studio nosti esiin Suomen väitetyn halun välttää joutumista puolustusvastuuseen Virosta. Aihe ansaitsee hieman perusteellisempaa tarkastelua.

The European Union research programme focuses on the EU's global and regional role, including the internal dynamics of the Union. The main research themes are the EU's external relations, economic policies and institutional development.
The EU's Eastern Neighbourhood and Russia research programme studies the EU's eastern environment with a special focus on Russia's domestic, foreign and security policy. In particular, the programme concentrates on political developments in the region and the process of the Eurasian integration. It also studies international relations in the EU's eastern neighbourhood and the relationship between the region and the EU.
The Global Security research programme approaches global security challenges within the framework of broad security. The programme seeks to understand the global trajectories of security that have significance for the European and Finnish security environments. The issues approached include the prospects for global governance systems, changes in the major power structure, significant factors in functional and regional security and insecurity, the role of the transatlantic relationship in world politics, and the different dimensions of the European security policy.
The aim of the Center for US Politics and Power is to provide research and expertise on the US global role and its foreign and domestic policy. The Center works in conjunction with the Global Security Programme at the FIIA and was established in 2013. FIIA's US research is supported by the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation.

Jamie Foxx ft. Gucci Mane - Speak French
Artist: Jamie Foxx
Featuring: Gucci Mane
Producer: Bangladesh
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 56 votes )
I know I'm gonna have to address this sooner or later, so we might as well get it over with. Here's the deal: if you wants us to stop posting tracks from Gucci Mane, tell your favorite artists to stop putting him on their tracks. After all, when one of the most famous actors/rappers alive, Jamie Foxx, includes Gucci on his new single Speak French, we have to post it. Gucci overload aside, Speak French features production by Bangladesh, whose production work is so minor it's barely there, more than a couple complete tempo changes, some decent vocal work from Foxx, absolutely no actual French and, yes, a verse from Gucci, who does spit a pretty hilarious line involving a camera and his penis. But seriously, how does a track called Speak French include literally no French? Regardless, Speak French is off of Foxx's upcoming, untitled album, due out in the beginning of 2010. Let's hope the album's better – much better – than this.

Man, lucky on the mudflaps and supertones. My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas. She said probably car parts, and I said yes. Those are the exact two things I asked for and she said I dont get mudflaps on my car. But good score on the parts. Good luck with installation.
I know you'll enjoy the Supertones... mine make me feel like my middle finger is a foot and a half tall. Only thing is, they've faded a bit since I installed them 2 1/2 years ago, so now instead of bright/brilliant red, they're more of a cherry blossom red bordering on dark pink, but I still like them. I'm actually pondering whether or not I'd like a set of mud flaps for my car. Post up some pics when everything is installed if you get a chance.

What is different about the Nexus 6's cellular radio for it to work with Project Fi? Cellular networks use various network types and groups of radio frequencies to send and receive data. The cellular radio inside the Nexus 6 works with all the 4G LTE networks in the US and many around the world--unlike the radios in other smartphones which work with less network types. One way to think about it: imagine if your car radio only supported AM or FM radio instead of both! [The SIM card works with all 4 cellcos.] [FI]
This may destroy Sprint and T-Mobile. "Our one simple plan starts with the Fi Basics for $20/month. It includes unlimited domestic talk and text, unlimited international texts, Wi-Fi tethering to use your phone as a hotspot, and access cellular coverage in 120+ countries." And you get credit for unused data.
The one downside is that Google generally has no support.
I don't know if this is an upside but the service is tied to your Google Hangouts account. You can text and receive calls from Googel Hangouts on many devices.
Consider cellular disrupted!]]>
Under UCaaS I will include Collaboration, so Lync, Office 365, Sharepoint, Dropbox, conferencing flavors (audio, web, video), contact centers and the like. Most just sell the voice piece. Some of it has to do with the buyer. Most buyers only know what they know (see further down in this post). Do they have the time (and patience) to learn what they don't know? How UC can make the business flexible and competitive? In my experience, not always.
Managed WiFi is getting a push from Cisco, ADTRAN, EarthLink (and their partner Airtight). Technically, this is just another network play; but it also has to do with mobility. That's the problem: no one has responsibility for it in the organization. It makes for a good managed servcie to offer. Add some analytics and it can sell itself.
Mobility is by far the biggest. If you had the Internet of Things (IoT) to that tent, the circus is huge. Remember BYOD and the issues that corporations faced? Still going on, but now more companies are looking for MDM (mobile device management). A couple of CLECs - Mettel and TelePacific have nice bundles with MDM. You should look at them.
Rumor has Google launching an MVNO in the middle of a heated price war from the cellcos (that is killing the MVNO business). AT&T has mobility in the APEX wholesale platform. Tech Data has its TDmobility which sells all 4 cellcos and nearly every device. If you like selling replacement stuff, get a piece of this business. there is a lot more to it than just handsets, since there are solutions wrapped around verticals. Take transportation for example. Vehicles are tracked via GPS. Those devices that UPS and Fedex use to track packages (made by Zebra) are computers with 3G connectivity. Think Kindle with a scanner for ideas on how almost any business might use GPS tracking, object tracking, person (employee or customer) tracking. well, it is mostly tracking. We went from inventory control to people control. And IoT and wearables will be more intrusive. But the applications are wide ranging. "IoT is like the Internet in the 1990s"
Side Note: Google launched wi-fi service FI with Nexus 6.
"Executives at organizations of all sizes and across countless industries experience many of the same challenges - from improving customer experience to staying ahead of the technology curve to cutting costs. One common challenge many executives face is avoiding the stigma of being seen as "out of touch" with what is going on from a day-to-day perspective in their organizations. Unfortunately for them, that's exactly what a recent Evolve IP survey exposed." A survey from Evolve IP shows that many executives -- your buyers - are not informed about the latest tech. It is your job to educate them. Otherwise we replace you with a kiosk.
So what are you going to offer your customers today?
Arrow is getting into IOT. See this review by Sandhill.]]>
Both have been running from wireline for a while -- since maybe 2006. I think they wanted forbearance to get rid of unions and that copper plant. The wireless divisions are non-union for the most part. Unions and pensions are killing them financially (they say).
AT&T will record a $10 billion charge in fourth quarter. "The company expects a pretax loss due to changes in pension and post-employment plans and abandonment of certain copper assets." And "The Dallas-based company will also take a $2.1 billion non-cash charge after deciding to abandon certain copper assets deemed unnecessary for future network activity as customer demand for older voice and data products declines," writes CNET.
Verizon nears "the end" of FiOS builds, according to ARS. "Verizon lost $2.23 billion, but FiOS and wireless businesses remain profitable. Verizon posted a net loss of $2.23 billion in Q4 2014, despite making a profit of $9.63 billion for the full year. The loss included "significant non-operational items... primarily related to the annual actuarial valuation of benefit plans and mark-to-market pension adjustments," Verizon said."
VZ nears the end of landlines as it makes a deal to sell off as it makes a deal to sell Cali, Texas and Florida wireline and FiOS to Frontier for $10 Billion.
The RBOCs both spent big in the AWS-3 auction. AT&T spent $18B and VZW spent $10B. AT&T bought Nextel Mexico from NII Holdings and Iusacell. Verizon just sold Cali, Texas and Florida to Frontier for $10B plus, according to this SEC filing.
Cable won the broadband war when the FCC raised the definition of broadband to 25 Mbps. Now cable will again win market share as it did when Frontier took over Connecticut. Where does Frontier keep getting this money from? And why can't they ever have a smooth transition?
The RBOCs want out of copper (VZ more than ATT) - and want to focus on wireless which is profitable for them. BUT their churn is getting out of control. AT&T "said postpaid churn, or the rate of customer defections, rose to 1.22 percent and average revenue per phone user declined 10.7 percent from a year earlier." [reuters] The cellular market is flat in the US. AT&T has been looking to expand to Europe, but the EU says NO (probably due to Room 641A and Snowden revelations). So it is off to LATAM for AT&T. Verizon is kind of stuck because they have all that debt from divorcing Vodafone for sole ownership of VZW.
Now the FCC is making their DSL obsolete and about to add Title II regulation. The RBOCs are likely ready to leave that headache to Frontier, Windstream (70% of revenues are broadband), and the cable coalition.
Oh, if the Title II goes through for mobile broadband, VZW's super cookies will be burnt.
I was going to talk about this: "Chairman Wheeler Proposes to Classify Internet Access as Telecom Service" but everyone has made so much work of it in the last few months that I decided to give my readers a break. Please note, however, that ACA, et al. Oppose Title II Regulation on Small ISPs; WISPA opposes the plan; and CTIA Urges Different Open Internet Rules for Mobile Broadband Providers. No one likes change. Lawsuits already filed - even before the order has been voted on and finalized. You can blame just 2 companies: VZ and Comcast -- and then spread some blame over to the FTC for not jumping in the fray.]]>
Big mergers still in play: AT&T buying DirecTV to keep up on TV; and Comcast in a three way with Charter over TWC.
Birch bought Cbeyond. TW telecom is now a part of Level3. AT&T swallowed Cricket. Siemens Enterprise Communications re-organized a couple of times and re-branded as Unify. Zayo went public.
So many CLEC execs exited the carrier world for Master Agencies. No idea how that will pan out - as the master model is shifting as the margins shrink. Maybe those carrier guys - who came out of less than stellar companies - CAN steer a smaller ship through stormy waters.
After Softbank bought Sprint and Clearwire last year, layoffs ensued all year for Sprint. And not just at Sprint. This was an ugly year for telecom employment as jobs were sloughed off left and right.
BTW, Telstra buys Pacnet for about $700 million.
The buzz this year - especially at shows like ITEXPO and Metaswitch Forum - was SDN and NFV. CenturyLink is blazing atrail to NFV.
Windstream was in a pickle this year. Money issues, revenue declines, layoffs - oof! 70% of its revenue is based on broadband. So the CFO came up with a great idea: form a REIT. It might happen in 2015. Meanwhile, the REIT idea in the data center space is still alive and well: Equinix Board of Directors Approves REIT Conversion
One bright spot seemed to be in cellular where T-Mobile's CEO decided he had nothing to lose after being blocked at the altar twice (Sprint and AT&T). So he started to turn the cellular market upside down. Sprint joined in after Apple released the iPhone 6. The downside to the pricing war: (1) AT&T and VZW are still giants and the gap is still wide; (2) MVNO models fell apart.
Also, OTT like WhatsApp, Viper, and so many more are starting to have an effect on profit streams of cellcos. At least a little. It is what our industry is famous for - Arbitrage! Take all the margin and profit you can out of a service. We don't make the pie bigger; we steal the filling. It's why I think mobile VoIP is a boring sector and don't really write about apps. It does not add anything really innovative; it just allows folks to do the same stuff for free or less money. Like Bittorrent.
And if Hosted VoIP is so wonderful - and so many of the 2000+ providers are crushing it (just ask them! they are all doing dandy.) then why oh why does RC and S2S need more investment money to grow?
This was the year of the data breach - from Target to Sony no data was safe. What does that say to the marketplace as the industry tries to get businesses to buy cloud services? This riding in after the Snowden effect on privacy concerns about cloud services.
This is funny: "Verizon will roll out new NSA-friendly encrypted wireless voice service"
Carl Ford writes Is It Time to End the FCC? I agree with him as I have written for years. The FCC has a full docket that they will take years to decide. Their decisions are not only late to the party, but always end up in court, where the FCC loses half the time.
Muni and/or public-private networks like Google Fiber are pushing the Gigabit broadband momentum. Meanwhile, laws are being put into effect to ban muni networks. Just another example of lawmakers being beholden to Corporate America, not the people.
No idea who is going to buy all that crap on Amazon between layoffs and the dwindling middle class. Or who pays for the Walmart on every corner in America, since the each store requires $1 million in public assistance per year
USF reform, E-Rate changes, Connect America (CAF), rural broadband experiments - all kind of go together. All under the big Universal Services Fund umbrella. All changes slowly being made to spur broadband in rural communities, libraries, schools and rural healthcare. It is having a ripple effect on the business models of the RLECs, who spent a lot of time and money lobbying in DC this year.
BTW, big news in Iowa. "The Iowa Supreme Court says companies that provide phone service through the Internet must be taxed the same as traditional telephone service providers."
The channel saw a lot of activity as well in 2014. So many cloud services players banging on the door asking for partners. Cloud Cloud CLOUD!!! Quite a bit of musical chairs in the vendor channel chairs too. Master agencies had to sell direct to keep up with increasing quotas under decreasing price points. The TCA rolled out a cable certification too.
If ever there was a time for companies to do strategic planning and internal evaluation it is now. Checking your strengths and weaknesses allows you to plan, but it also allows you to steer around obstacles that may get thrown in the way.

The bright spot: customers are buying!
"All the economics are changing, as are consumption patterns, and they're shifting faster that the mindsets of those that create and publish." - Seth Godin]]>
Many conversations I have with clients center around who to target. For Hosted PBX sales, the company that is distributed with virtual, remote or mobile workers is a prime candidate. A single site, ten person office with flip phones is not. But Quota and Sales.
Seth Godin wrote, "You might not get the customers you deserve, but you will probably end up with the customers you attract."
The way we sell, message, prospect and negotiate determines largely who our customers will be. And we will get more like them. There will be an outlier or two, but most of your customers will be attracted by the way you sell, prospect, message and negotiate.
With all the consolidation going on lately in cloud services, sales are not coming fast enough and there are too many players in the market. Way too many players. This makes it difficult to reach critical mass.
Your product is similar to a book. You want to write a bestseller. However there isn't a formula for a bestseller. The Bestseller Effect happens when your core group of customers buy your book, read it, like it, talk about. Then the second market picks up on that and buys it too. (Kind of like the Crossing the Chasm). Early adopters then mainstream.
Some of the delay to mainstream is the product. It is complicated, not an easy replacement, takes education and understanding - and largely wasn't designed for the mainstream. Cheap dial-tone replacement was designed for mainstream. Enterprise level software for the average user - too complicated. Too much change. So we dumb it down. Water it down. Lower the price. In hopes of mass appeal. In trying to fit the round peg into the square hole.
"Which means that if you try to reach people who aren't shopping for what you sell, who don't think about what you sell, who aren't even in the store for what you sell, you've got a tough road ahead." - Seth Godin
Look at advertising for cellular. The Top 4 Cellcos talk about just 3 things: the network availability, price or the phone. AT&T had a huge lead due to its exclusive deal for the iPhone. Then when all carriers have the iPhone, it becomes a whore's market for number 6. Think about that.
In auto insurance, everyone is the cheapest. How is that possible? Only Farmer's talks about what it will be like to be a customer; that insurance companies have a bunch of Gotchas - something the public already resonates with.
This industry spends a lot of time talking about value - inside not outside. If one service provider spent as much time on messaging and targeting as it does on patching the softswitch, that SP could become the market leader.]]>
Makes you think, right? It also makes me think that regulations hold back some innovation. AirBnB, Uber and Tesla Motors challenge long-standing regulations. But really what holds it all back is the power (industry) behind said regulations - like Big Oil, Big Pharma, the Duopoly.
In some parts of the world, VoIP is illegal - and you can be jailed for having VoIP equipment. I guess they don't realize that a cellphone is a VoIP device.
Marriott was fined $600K for jamming hotspots at the Nashville Gaylord Opryland. Current Analysis has a good read on it.
The Technology Report October 2014 on UC & PBX is out at Telecom Reseller. PBX shipments were down 1% from Q1 to Q2. That isn't really a big deal.
So Craig Walker of Grand Central and Google Voice fame (and Uber Conferencing) has launched another business VoIP service for Google Apps users. Nice review of Switch Communications here. I haven't gotten to look at the service since the website has been down all morning.
TechCrunch is good at headlines (not really content but certainly headlines and clicks). In this one, "Edward Snowden's Privacy Tips: "Get Rid Of Dropbox," Avoid Facebook And Google". DUH!
In the midst of the NFL's current publicity problem due to domestic violence outbreaks, NFL partners have to decide what to do. I have scaled back watching the NFL this season due to the number of felons in that league, but I did notice on SportsCenter that there is a lot of pink out there. I understand the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign -- and that Komen is all about the money - but you would think that the org formerly known as The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation would have taken a stand. Verizon did. Their PR department responded with this email about Hopeline and Voice Have Power. It's a great PR gesture, but if they really wanted to take a stand, imagine if Verizon told Goodell to clean up the NFL like Pepsi's CEO did.
Technology takes over a lot of our life - soon our driving (just ask Tesla owners) - it even replaces a number of jobs in the US. Does it look like as a society we are getting better or worse because of our relationship with tech?
Someone asked me about cellular competition. I agree with the FCC that we need 4 players. Sure, 2 of them own more than three quarters of the market, but the other two keep it interesting. Add in the handset manufacturers - like Apple, LG, Samsung and even Blackberry - it makes it a decent competition. After the iPhone 6 announcement, all of the carriers have been jiggering their pricing plans to snag as many users via upgrades as possible.
That in itself is interesting since AMDOCS told me that it takes almost the whole 24 month contract for carriers to break even on smartphone users. So why would you chase more smartphones users for less ARPU?
I am watching a few things happen slowly: more fiber projects resulting in denser fiber availability; more traction of unified communications platforms (simple, cloud or not); and money getting tight due to flat revenues, high debt, and uncertainty about what the FCC -- and eventually the courts -- will do about important issues like Special Access, TDM-to-IP transitions, E-Rate and other USF programs. It's all happening like the melting of glaciers. (I knew I could fit climate change in here! )
Have a good Monday!]]>
On the heels of the celeb hacking event (#Frappening2014), the Target and now Home Depot security breaches, and the 1.2 billion identities (emails, passwords, etc.) that the Russian mob collected, one has to wonder what's going on.
Part of what is going on is that people and businesses don't really pay attention to security, because it-can't-happen-here or it-won't-happen-to-me or probably because too lazy and it costs too much. Well, the other side of that coin is the liability -- Identity theft (that could take you years and thousands to fix); debit card liability (because debit/ATM cards aren't protected like credit cards); changing all your bill pay info; and so much more. This may seem like inconvenience but most people are shielded from the really dark side of this.
Take some simple steps right now. If you used a debit/ATM card at Home Depot, check with your bank. [More detailed info here] Then "be proactive and withdraw money from that checking account now. You should avoid keeping any more money in that account than absolutely necessary -- just enough to cover transactions coming through the account."
Set up alerts for your credit cards, checking accounts and debit/ATM.
Change your passwords regularly. Do not use words. Use capital letters with numerals and special characters if you can. [More detail here]
For cripes sake, don't use one password for all of your logins!!!!!
Use anti-virus AND anti-malware regularly. Update your operating system - keep it current. You have no idea how many people DON'T do this because it is an inconvenience. well, guess what, not only is every keystroke being logged but the bad guys use your infected computer to make life miserable for others. So thanks for being lazy. (Just box that computer back up if you can't use it properly ;)!
Enable 2 factor authentication wherever possible.
Start with this.
I imagine that you are mad at Home Depot and Target for the breach. Security is a game of cat and mouse. Every day in every way it is white hat versus black hat. Every software has holes. But you are mad at them and you don't even do the simple stuff listed above to protect yourself, so see that mirror.....]]>
First up, is VZ opens Enterprise accounts to channel partners. I say this with caution because the history of VZ's program has always been a yo-yo.
AireSpring launched AireContact to the channel. It is a cloud contact center platform.
A couple of companies have added encryption, which means that security is making its way into buying decisions. (Or compliance audits have finally caught the eyes and ears of buyers.) BitTitan encryption for Office365, for example.
Stratus Technologies is selling its uptime platform via channel now, too.
Breaking the mold on what it means to be a cellco, T-Mobile is offering residual payments. "T-Mobile USA has expanded the participants in its program to provide residual payments to master agents and their sub-agents. So far, it has signed up PlanetOne Communications, Innovative Communication Services, Cellular Optimization, Advocate Networks, TBI and Nexlink."
This adds up to a lot of noise to pay attention to as a channel partner, but it might be time to re-vamp and/or update your services catalog. (You've probably been selling mainly the same thing for years - REFRESH!)
A lot of the additions like encryption and Enterprise fall in silos or verticals. I think that if you sell into verticals you should bring the whole enchilada - the complete soup to nuts solution. Not products, but the service, the business platform.]]>
Integra made its second purchase in 2014 by grabbing WCI. WCI owns some network and rebills network from other carriers like Integra. WCI claims to be a next generation telecom company that builds "custom telecommunications solutions ... that deliver between 15 to 40 percent savings over traditional carriers." Integra is buying them for the vertical base of customers according to the press release.
Carrier Access, Inc, a national communication solutions provider (a master agency too), has acquired Tektivity Inc. Tektivity is a leading managed services provider (MSP) in the Eastern Iowa Corridor. This is a good move for an MSP to merge with a telecom sales agency. The agency gets tech knowledge, higher margin, and more control. The MSP gets a needed sales force. This isn't the first of this type nor the last.
Cbeyond launched its file storage service at a Microsoft partner event. Whew! Good thing because that space wasn't crowded enough - and it wasn't like they weren't already selling MozyPro and SharePoint.
The FCC revamped CAF for the second half of the year. It has dumped millions into an E-Rate for wi-fi project and the agency has set rules for Net neutrality, which startups dislike. I don't have to say it again, but maybe this agency has outlived its usefulness.
Comcast gets low marks in customer service but now it has taken a page out of AOL policy: we won't let you cancel! Boom! How's that? A tech blogger recorded his call trying to cancel his Comcast account.]]>
I don't travel internationally (domestic travel is enough of a pain in the ass to deal with. Don't get me started.) But the TruPhone World plan is a cool idea: 1 SIM card for 66 countries for voice, text and data. Boom!
I won't say it redefines mobile comm, but it is a marvel to think of all the coordination that this company had to do to get all of the MVNO deals in place to make this work in 66 countries with 100 MVNO contracts. I have been working with just US MVNO contracts and I want to punch the cellcos, so I can't imagine doing it globally. It's a lot of effort and coordination.
There isn't MMS btw, because only 40 of 850 cellcos offer MMS.
TruPhone is using WebRTC to create a permission system with your social networks based on a social graph. If you are meeting Joe Smith and you have his office number but not his mobile and you are connected on Facebook, this permission system will allow you to call his mobile (or text). TruFind is a cool concept. (And at 2 AM I am not sure I explained it well, but it is about availability, authorization and social graph.)
Just because you are reselling someone else's network - as a CLEC or an MVNO - doesn't mean that you can't re-think the space you are in and add real value to the customers. (I said value not save them some $$).]]>
Apparently, MetTel is doing a bang up job selling MDM via a white-label arrangement from Airwatch.
MDM is trending for companies that are worried about controlling emails, documents, files and confidential information from flowing out of the company. MDM allows for security measures on smartphones, laptops, tablets and its users.
Telecom Brokers posted this video on their Facebook page to explain MDM: What are the Business Advantages of Cloud Based Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
Airwatch had
about 2000 12k customers before VMWare bought it in January for $1.54B.
"We clearly saw the puck was going to mobility," Chief Executive Officer Pat Gelsinger said in an interview. "If we weren't in mobility, we weren't in the end-user computing infrastructure space." The puck is in mobility and BYOD.
Many service providers are white-labeling Airwatch, including Verizon Enterprise. It is really an enterprise play, especially for public companies. It's a nice way to bundle hosted Exchange, smartphones, and MDM.]]>
They may spend on U-Verse like they did in Connecticut before selling off SNET.
Even ASE is a replacement for the old Metro Ethernet service based on Cisco 7609s. Truly, with CIR and no over-subscription, ASE looks an awful lot like frame relay, which AT&T retired two years ago.
It's like the two big Cellcos pushing video on mobile devices at the same time that they lobby for 500 MHz of spectrum to actually provide it. It's schizoid policy.
As Hunter Newby mentioned, "There is no nationwide LTE network. It's a fallacy."
The marketing doesn't stand up to the policy and the reality. That's not really good branding at all.
Also, the attorneys mentioned that AT&T floated the idea at the FCC in an ex-parte filing that they would be willing to sell the copper plant around the central office for the CLEcs to still offer T1 and EoC. What would that cost? Well, since SNET sold for $2B that would seem to be the most current valuation.
As Congress gets feedback for the revamped Telecom Act of 2015, I urge you to weigh in on how you feel about the TDM-to-IP transition. Public safety, AARP, consumer groups, state PSCs and of course Public Knowledge are all on the sides of the CLECs.]]>
Then there is the AT&T buying DirecTV rumor. Never hear the rumor about DISH being bought, huh? It would seem that all of DISH's moves in wireless - the spectrum acquisition, the trials, the tribulations, Artemis, etc. - don't make it a good fit for anyone, even though DISH has the Hopper, a great DVR, and Slingbox.
On the content side, Netflix is paying Verizon FiOS for access as it did to Comcast. That means it will have to pay the Top 20 ISPs. Rates will have to go up. On the up side, three smaller cablecos - Atlantic Broadband, RCN and Grande - are dealing with Netflix to carry the service. (Details here) Interesting.
Why wouldn't Netflix go to smaller hotel chains (like Days Inn, say) to offer Netflix in place of VOD systems? On a similar note, VZ FiOS has a deal with Redbox for VOD (video-on-demand). AT&T and Chernin couldn't buy Hulu so they put a $500 million investment in a to-be-launched VOD and streaming video service. If you have a Roku, you know that there are literally a hundred channels now for VOD and streaming video services. How much room is there in this space for profitability?]]>
For one thing, I hope that the CBEY-Birch deal doesn't become the Fairpoint-VZ deal. Too big to swallow. The reason I think that is (one) because all other deals for Birch were just asset purchases; and (two) L3-GC, WIND-Paetec, SBC-ATT -- Integration Troubles Galore.
West IP is using the white board video platform to explain the basics of SIP Trunking.
The Challenge of Providing Landline Service When Returns Diminish. The smaller LECs are hurting more than the top 5 ILECs (ATT, VZ, C-Link, Frontier, Fairpoint). Even ILECs like WIND, CinBell and TDS have offset landline losses with data center or cloud (or both). For the RBOCs, getting rid of landlines is to mitigate union and pension responsibilities, not because maintaining copper is too expensive. AT&T uses copper for last mile for U-Verse, their VDSL2 service.
DISH Network is still looking to become a cellco player. The new plan involves DISH working with a startup called Artemis on pCell, a protocol to replace LTE and speed up cellular data networks. It's a risk but that's what will be needed for innovation.
Microcorp adds another vendor, RapidScale. Master Agencies seem to be signing up a lot of vendors 9especially cloud providers) these days. CNSG added Bright House Networks (cableco).
Amdocs found (in a survey of 1,311 global SMBs) that 66% of SMBs found that cloud services are very important to their businesses, while 57% said their businesses are already making use of cloud-based services, like data backup. SMBs use on average 3 cloud vendors.
Most telling: 74% of respondents said they prefer to receive cloud-based services from their primary service provider, but 41% believe they can get better deals from independent cloud vendors." Also, "80% of respondents said they want to receive one bill for all the communication services they consume."]]>
How about sloppy execution of strategy? The acquisition of Midwest assets didn't result in customer retention in the region. Going WIMax first and LTE later was an expensive rebuild which left customers with 4G phones that didn't work.
Sprint had a great wireline network. Remember the pindrop ads for long distance? Sprintlink was a great Internet pipe. What happened to that? How do you let a huge asset like that decline?
Why do you need scale when your base product is so sloppy? Buying T-Mo isn't going to solve the poor 4G network (and slow 3G network) problem. Alas, it will likely add to it, since Sprint, Clearwire, T-Mo and MetroPCS (which T-Mo bought) are all on different spectrum and the 3G networks are CDMA and GSM. Oh, yeah, that will work out.
Scale has not resulted in a significant win in the US telecom market to date.
Remember Intermedia (ICI), the first billion dollar CLEC? Crushed by the weight of its own short term debt. Bought by MCI, which itself wasn't big enough to survive. Paetec, Level3, EarthLink and Windstream are examples of integrations gone wrong and synergies never quite met.
No, scale isn't the issue. Make a strategic partnership with T-Mo if you want, but the issue is that you don't have a plan - other than a price war with your two much bigger rivals.
Want to win? Strike unique deals for gadgets or content or apps; get M2M to work big time; double down on the IoT; and think of ways to be unique to your loyal customers.
How about tracking for parents? Built-in Lojack for devices? An easy MDM option on every device?
You don't need Scale; you need Innovation. As Tom Peters says, RE-THINK. Excellence is in your next five minutes, Sprint.
Side note: Does Sprint even have a Culture built to win?]]>

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. -- At least one person is dead after a trailer home caught fire early Friday morning.
Firefighters responded to the trailer off 343 South St., about a mile south of the Camden County Courthouse. Authorities said a neighbor called 911 to report the fire around 3:48 a.m.
A neighbor tells 13News Now it was pouring rain and windy when he saw fire trucks race down the road.
Investigators said Hurricane Arthur's high winds fanned the flames of the fire. When crews arrived, the home was engulfed in flames.
Authorities believe only person died inside, and they haven't released the victim's name. The body was taken to Sentara Albemarle Medical Center and the medical examiner will do an autopsy report.
The fire marshal is still investigating the cause.

He is an extremely helpful host, willing to answer questions prior to and during our stay. The apartment is roomy enough for a grown up family of 4 adults to share as there are 2 bathrooms and a kitchen area and lounge. We loved the view of the river and the fact that we could walk to district 1 in under 15 minutes. Bach makes it easy to arrive and settle in by communicating prior to arrival and being there to welcome you. The kitchen is well equipped and being able to use laundry facilities is a real plus when travelling.

"Fantastic apartment, great view, convenient location"
Bach's apartment was beautiful - clean, well designed, spacious and trendy! Bach met us at the airport and took us to the apartment. He provided a great welcome pack for us with basic supplies including toiletries and plenty of water. The apartment was comfortable to spend time in and in a great location - there was lots to wander around and see close to the apartment, including great street stalls selling pho, noodles and rice paper rolls and night markets. It was also only a five minute taxi ride in to central Saigon to see all the sights - the Opera House, the markets, museums, botanical gardens, cathedral etc.
One piece of trip advice - don't go to Dam Sen Water Park - some of the rides are extremely unsafe.....

And everybody had a shirt that said "Vote or Die"
Seen on everybody from 50 to Jigga
from Skillz – The Rap Up 2004 Lyrics on Genius
Citizen Change was a political service group founded by rapper/producer/entrepreneur P. Diddy. They had a popular slogan during the 2004 presidential election between George Bush and John Kerry; it was "Vote or Die!" This slogan was promoted by various celebrities, including rappers 50 Cent and Jay-Z. Unfortunately, the slogan, which was in favor of the democrat, Kerry, ultimately failed when Bush won reelection.

Absolutely beautiful..
I played CMF and was so amazed by the music. You've done an excellent job with this piece. Favorited, 5/5, and 10/10. Great job, and keep up the excellent work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Played CMF for the first time today and i think what made it even more beautiful than it already was, is your music. Great work. Keep it up and a very merry Christmas.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Beautiful christmas theme
A really good and relaxing song, fit perfectly in the game CMF.... good work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
very nice and relaxing
I really liked this song and I almost fell asleep (good thing) listening to it keep up the good work and i have a question why is this under jazz, it's more classical than jazz.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
not jazz but still a great piece nonetheless
this doesnt have enough contrasting tonal colors to be considered jazz IMO. doesnt really have a classical form either, unless if classical can be contextually put into a very contemporary sense (like 90% of NG classical). regardless of the genre, this is a great piece for a marvelous game. I like how it overall has a calming, upbeat feel with a tinge of bittersweet laced underneath. very expressive playing, good balance between the right and left hand to make the melody stand out more. i personally liked when you had the "background noise" in your pieces for the previous Colour My ____ games as to me it symbolized the quaint, black and white art from the games while the notes from the piano instilled colors into the scene. The more organic sound of your fingers hitting the keys are near inaudible from whatever filter you used to get rid of the noise. it also leaves a slight buzzing noise that sounds like a beetle is trapped in your keyboard.
very graceful opening, I like how you slowly work the melody in...good subtle use of legato to get the piece of the ground. dynamics are well controlled
hello aladdin ;)
key change is well executed, felt you could have done this more often within the piece
From this point, I like your open chord voicings and your crescendos but felt that the top of these climatic points where overly loud and the piece doesnt call from it.
Really liked the smooth descending arpeggios in here, definitely my favorite part of this song
3:04ish and 3:13ish
chords right here are too loud IMO
I like the sound of the note outside of the key here...whether you played it on purpose or not it feels good man
very nice end, tastefully comes to a close on a nice sounding but not completely resolving chord.

'Too Much Information' is a phrase that may have been invented for Jessica Simpson. Saturday night, she Tweeted about her groom-to-be Eric Johnson's butt!
PHOTOS: Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson In Aspen
"Thank you Lord for blessing me with a Man that has the perfect Tush. Laying my hands upon it with peace:)," she wrote.
Simpson seems to have a thing for backsides. She had a hit in 2008, Push Your Tush, and she frequently commented on former boyfriend Tony Romo's derriere in his Dallas Cowboys uniform.

Jessica and Eric became engaged in the same week last November as her ex-husband Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo announced their plans to wed.
Neither couple has announced dates for their respective weddings.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Gov. John Kitzhaber and the Sen. Jeff Merkley are hailing the Obama administration's decision to let people get tax credits if they bought health coverage directly from an insurance company because of technical problems with Cover Oregon.
Kitzhaber says the news means more Oregonians will be able to access affordable health coverage. Markley says "Oregonians should not have to foot the bill for Cover Oregon's failures."
Cover Oregon's online enrollment system did not launch on schedule in October and exchange officials struggled to devise a backup plan to enroll people. They brought in 400 workers to process applications by hand, a time-consuming process that created a backlog of thousands of applications.
Later last year, Cover Oregon officials advised people to enroll directly with insurance carriers if they needed coverage immediately.

Day 4 Tourist - Prairie du Chien
Today we were going to go drive part of the Great River Road in Wisconsin, along the Mississippi River. I guess I forgot just how far the Mississippi is from Middleton. We headed out, stopped at Mazomanie at a cheese factory for squeaky cheese curds (did you know they aren't really fresh unless they squeak when you chew them?). Then we drove along the Wisconsin River to the Wyalusing State ...

I had a long clinic day yesterday, so I had to finish packing this morning. I got up at seven, got ready, finished packing, and loved on Sophie. How do animals always know you're leaving them? I got going by nine and grabbed a McDonald's breakfast sandwich. I had some road rage leaving Decorah. An old lady hit her brakes in front of me just because a wide load semi was coming towards us and then later couldn't get over into the slow lane. I made good time up ...

Measure at a Glance
Type: calculated percentage
Denominator: transitions of care for which the EP was the receiving party of the transition, which should be limited to patients maintained by CEHRT
Duration: calculated over the entire EHR reporting period
Objective: The EP who receives a patient from another setting of care or provider of care or believes an encounter is relevant should perform medication reconciliation.
Measure: The EP performs medication reconciliations for more than 50 percent of transitions of care in which the patient is transitioned into the care of the EP.
Exclusion: An EP who was not the recipient of any transitions of care during the EHR reporting period.
TennCare Notes
The attestation portal will require the EP to enter the numerator and denominator of the measure as defined in the technical specification.
Please note this measure requires more than 50% of transitions of care include medication reconciliation. The numerators and denominators are calculated to the hundredths place in the attestation portal, so while a proportion of 50.01% will be evaluated as a successful attestation, 50.00% will not.

Cuba calls weapons on North Korean ship 'obsolete'
PANAMA CITY Cuba said military equipment found buried under sacks of sugar on a North Korean ship seized as it tried to cross the Panama Canal was obsolete weaponry from the mid-20th century that it had sent to be repaired.
Panamanian authorities said it might take a week to search the ship, since so far they have only examined one of its five container sections. They have requested help from United Nations inspectors, along with Colombia and Britain, said Javier Carballo, Panama's top narcotics prosecutor. North Korea is barred by U.N. sanctions from importing sophisticated weapons or missiles.
Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli said Tuesday that the ship identified as the 14,000-ton Chong Chon Gang, which had departed Cuba en route to North Korea, was carrying missiles and other arms "hidden in containers underneath the cargo of sugar."
Martinelli tweeted a photo showing a green tube that appears to be a horizontal antenna for the SNR-75 "Fan Song" radar, which is used to guide missiles fired by the SA-2 air-defense system found in former Warsaw Pact and Soviet-allied nations, said Neil Ashdown, an analyst for IHS Jane's Intelligence.
"It is possible that this could be being sent to North Korea to update its high-altitude air-defense capabilities," Ashdown said. Jane's also said the equipment could be headed to North Korea to be upgraded.
North Korea has not commented on the seizure, during which 35 North Koreans were arrested after resisting police efforts to intercept the ship in Panamanian waters last week, according to Martinelli. He said the captain had a heart attack and also tried to commit suicide.
But Cuba's Foreign Ministry released a statement late Tuesday acknowledging that the military equipment belonged to the Caribbean nation, saying it had been shipped out to be repaired and returned to the island.
"The agreements subscribed by Cuba in this field are supported by the need to maintain our defensive capacity in order to preserve national sovereignty," the statement read.
It said the vessel was bound for North Korea mostly loaded with sugar - 10,000 tons of it - but added that the cargo also included 240 metric tons of "obsolete defensive weapons": two Volga and Pechora anti-aircraft missile systems, nine missiles "in parts and spares," two Mig-21 Bis and 15 engines for those airplanes.
It concluded by saying that Havana remains "unwavering" in its commitment to international law, peace and nuclear disarmament.
The U.N. Security Council has imposed four rounds of increasingly tougher sanctions against North Korea since its first nuclear test on Oct. 9, 2006.
Under current sanctions, all U.N. member states are prohibited from directly or indirectly supplying, selling or transferring all arms, missiles or missile systems and the equipment and technology to make them to North Korea, with the exception of small arms and light weapons.
The most recent resolution, approved in March after Pyongyang's latest nuclear test, authorizes all countries to inspect cargo in or transiting through their territory that originated in North Korea, or is destined to North Korea if a state has credible information the cargo could violate Security Council resolutions.

"It isn't women who need to change their style of dressing, it's men who need to change their style of thinking and perception of women," Union Women and Child Welfare Minister Krishna Tirath said here on Sunday.
She was reacting to Madhya Pradesh Industries Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya's statement that "women should not dress provocatively."
"Women covered in yards of clothes are not going to change the mindset of men who believe that violence against women and the abuse of her rights as a human being is acceptable. It is a shame that political leaders in such high posts think and talk in a manner that is very derogatory to women. Women in India enjoy just as much freedom as men in the country and it is a right that the law of the land has bestowed on them. Such statements are an attempt to snatch away that freedom of expression and it will not be tolerated," she added.
Expressing dismay at Mr. Vijayvargiya's statement, social activist Shabnam Hashmi said: "Do women really need to be policed about what they wear in India in this day and age? We strongly condemn such statements that are being made all too often these days. With this statement, the onus of violence against women and their abuse now seems to have been cleverly shifted from the attacker to the victim, which is a very wrong trend. Women in our country don't get raped, abused and killed because of the clothes they wear or don't wear, it because men feel that they can get away with it and leaders in such high positions making a statement like this only adds to this wrong belief."
Senior advocate Pinky Anand said: "While every citizen of this country has the right to his/her opinion, telling half the population of the country how to dress certainly doesn't seem right. It is a very unfortunate statement. What makes it worse is the context that it was said in."
Mr. Vijayvargiya made the statement on Saturday in relation to the Guwahati incident where a group of men molested a girl on July 9
The National Commission of Women too has come out strongly against the statement. "India is a free country and all its citizens, irrespective of their gender, have equal rights. We take strong objection to such public statements which when coming from a senior Minister becomes even more distasteful," said Commission chairperson Mamata Sharma.

FCSync-Sync Contacts
1,000 - 5,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
How does it work?
FCSync retrieves contact information from Facebook and places them on your phone's contacts. FCSync does not add new contacts on the device - it only adds to existing contacts.
FCSync has two main sync options:
1. Automatic Sync Tab:
∎ FCSync will automatically link between the Facebook's friend and the contact on the phone.
∎ Once FCSync finds a correct match, it will retrieve its information from Facebook and bring it to your phone.
∎ If FCSync cannot find a proper match to a contact; it will automatically move the name to Manual tab.
2. Manual Sync Tab:
This tab allows you to manage all the links between your phone contacts and your Facebook friend list.
The tab includes a table of your linked and non-linked contacts, enabling you manage it.
A linked record has a green light indication and the unmatched record has red light indicator.
By pressing on item in list you can:
✓ Refresh – update contact with the current information from Facebook.
✓ Modify – Modify link between Facebook friend and the contact you choose manually.
✓ Delete Link – delete link between phone contact names and Facebook friends, preventing the record from syncing according to manual link.
∎ All the information in the table is saved in the application Database.
Incremental Sync:
If incremental sync enable, FCSync will sync only new contacts added to your phone since the last sync or contacts that have not yet been synced.
As to the contacts that have no match, they will be sync again anyway.

Just what I was looking for. This so works well worth the $2.

Had issues after facebook update. The app worked with me until fixed. They truly cared. Works great now. Great communication!

Waste of money. Could not get this app to work on an android phone after paying for it.
