  1. @traciking oh excellent. I know a few anlaysts. They're okay, some of them. :)
  2. @traciking I'm sure Fujitsu will miss you. What's the new adventure?
  3. @BenedictEvans @disruptivedean possibly, but services will exist and integrate at different levels... where that settles out is important
  4. @BenedictEvans At a high level I agree with that sentiment -- these are all, broadly speaking, telco services
  5. @BenedictEvans it's useful to seperate the eco-system plays (e.g. iOS MSFT/Skype) vs. pure OTT plays
  6. @BenedictEvans but is it pointer to how the iOS ecosystem might evolve in terms of communications services? Not necessarily anti-telco, btw
  7. @KimKLarsen that's interesting. In terms of small cell, I'm (very roughly) of the view that Indoors = WiFi & Outdoors = Licensed
  8. I missed #LTEWS this week. Any good write-ups around?
  9. Rio Wireless made it to Globo News (like CNN in Brazil). My colleague Vinicius is interviewed at the end of the clip bit.ly/Jrk9sN
  10. @martingeddes given the context that's an unfortunate use of that word
  11. Back at Rio Wireless today. Just getting started on the World Cup (2014) & Olympics (2016) session. We're just going through this in London
  12. @lorenaferrario I am yes. A good event, even though I don't speak Portuguese
  13. @lorenaferrario Hi -- are you at the Rio Wireless event?
  14. Big push for Authorised Shared Access spectrum by Qualcomm at Rio Wireless. Sowing the seeds for long-term refarming strategies
  15. @alanburkittgray a home from home?
  16. Comms Ministry: Brazil is 4th largest mobile market in the world w/ 240 million connections of which 82% are pre pay & 52 million are 3G
  17. To get a tax break on broadband investment Brazilian operators will need to deliver 1 Mbit/s minimum
  18. Currently in Brazil operators only need to deliver 10% of advertised broadband speed. Comms Ministry is not happy (going by body language)
  19. In-market manufacturing & local content is a logical requirement for large growth economies. India & Indonesia specify this too
