Gtone Episode 27 - Unified Commmunications Has Failed, What do we do now?

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:01:00 GMT

This podcast is a speech from the 2007 Cisco IP Telecommunications Users Group Conference held at the Austin Convention Center Oct 29th through Nov 1st 2007. The speaker is Greg Royal, CTO of Cistera Networks.

According to a recent CIO Magazine, fully 86% of CIOs knew what Unified Communications was. When asked to explain what Unified Communications was, only a small fraction could actually define it. Greg argues that their is too much preoccupation with personal productivity tools with UC and not enough discussion about team based processes for unified communications. Greg outlines the future of unified communications and a definition that makes sense.

Gtone Episode 26 - Open Source Mobility

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 02:35:00 GMT

While the Apple iPhone Train continues to capture the imagination
of the consumer smartphone market, there are a number of
companies, such as Blackberry, Microsoft, and Palm battling it out
in the business smartphone market. What is less well known is
that there is an Open Source Mobility platform that is making waves
in Europe. Funambol is a company and an open source community
dedicated to making further mobile device interoperability progress
through support of open standards such as SyncML.

Fabrizio Capobianco, a serial entrepreneur and veteran executive at
Reuters and Tibco, is CEO of Funambol. He founded the first
Italian Web company, Internet Graffiti, in 1994. He also founded
Stigma Online, developer of an information portal product
with customers that included Kraft, Novartis, Italian Broadcasting
Television and the Italian Stock Exchange. Capobianco has taught
courses on wireless and mBusiness strategies at the University of
Pavia in Italy, where he holds a Ph.D. in computer science with a
focus on usability. Fabrizio was recognized in 2007 as a top "40
under 40" leader by American Venture Magazine and by the readers
of Mobile Village for being a consumer email visionary.

Gtone Episode 25 - Seth and the Art of VoIP

Thu, 17 May 2007 01:53:00 GMT

Seth Godin: Sliced bread and other marketing delights

In a world of too many options and too little time, our obvious choice is to ignore the ordinary stuff. Marketing guru Seth Godin spells out why, when it comes getting our attention, bad or bizarre ideas are more successful than boring ones. And early adopters, not the mainstream's bell curve, are the new sweet spot of the market.

"Seth Godin may be the ultimate entrepreneur for the Information Age," Mary Kuntz wrote in Business Week nearly a decade ago. "Instead of widgets or car parts, he specializes in ideas -- usually, but not always, his own." In fact, he's as focused on spreading ideas as he is on the ideas themselves.

After working as a software brand manager in the mid-1980s, Godin started Yoyodyne, one of the first Internet-based direct-marketing firms, with the notion that companies needed to rethink how they reached customers. His efforts caught the attention of Yahoo!, which bought the company in 1998 and kept Godin on as a vice president of permission marketing. Godin has produced several critically acclaimed and attention-grabbing books, including Permission Marketing, All Marketers Are Liars, and Purple Cow (which was distributed in a milk carton). In 2005, Godin founded Squidoo.com, a Web site where users can share links and information about an idea or topic important to them.

VOIP Panel: Quality, Ease of Use, Security

Stuart Chesire and Benjamin Kowarsch discuss Zeroconf and Bonjour, which make Asterisk clusters work without asking users to perform complex configuration. Installations of these server clusters could make wifi VOIP in hotels many times easier to deploy.

VOIP has only recently become practical, with the comprehensive rollout of broadband to consumers. Wireless roaming is still a challenge. Matthew Gast examines why VOIP is so hard in 802.11 networks. The trick is making VOIP devices act more like cell phones, making load balancing and roaming easier.

Whenever potentially sensitive conversations are broadcast over the air, encryption is critical. Philip Zimmermann, the creator of PGP encryption, takes a look at the history of public key infrastructures and concludes that the industry needs to move away from centrally managed key servers. He presents his solution to VOIP encryption, including the ability to detect eavesdropping.

Gtone Episode 24 - Selling Blue Elephants Mr Bell

Tue, 3 Apr 2007 06:35:00 GMT

In Episode 19, The talk of two Malcolms, Malcolm Gladwell spoke of the genius of Howard Moskowitz and his ability to fundamentally grasp the nature of consumer taste. In this episode we continue the thread of Product Design and Consumer Behavior with an interview with Howard.

How do companies figure out what consumers want? For example, when you look at all the different types of spaghetti sauce in the grocery store, do you wonder how the endless varieties were developed? In many cases, the companies may have just guessed, but they also may have used methods developed by Howard Moskowitz, an expert in the field of psychophysics, and author of the upcoming book Selling Blue Elephants. Howard Moskowitz is the CEO of i-Novation Inc as well as President of Moskowitz Jacobs Inc., a firm he founded in 1981. He is both a well-known experimental psychologist in the field of psychophysics and an inventor of world-class market research technology.

We also reach back into the archives for a 1954 General Motors Chevrolet sponsored short film entitled "What Mr Bell had in mind". This features DON AMECHE recreating his famous movie role as Alexander Graham Bell. Mr Bell discusses proper telephone etiquette.

Gtone Episode 23 - VoiceCon Spring 2007

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 03:09:00 GMT

This week is from the floor of Voicecon Spring Conference 2007, March 5th through 8th at the Gaylord Palms Hotel in Orlando Florida. We talk about Voip Trainer, a unique interactive traning tool for IPT Telephony and the founder of 4What Interactive, Jim Cossetta. We then talk about Open Telephony and the challenges of identity for VoIP Systems. All of this is broadcast from the floor of Voicecon.

Voip Trainer and 4What Interactive

Jim Cossetta is an established business entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience working with start- ups to Fortune 500 firms worldwide. As President and CEO of 4What Interactive since 1995, Cossetta has successfully directed a team of creative business professionals in the creation of innovative marketing, training and communication solutions that continue to improve the way companies do business.

In 2001, Cossetta helped champion the development of 4What's first product line the VoIPTrainer. Today the VoIPTrainer is considered the industries leading end user training and support solution for IP Telephony, and Cossetta has successfully built a team of in-house and industry resellers to continue to grow it's success.

Open Telephony and Open Identity

Slow adoption of open mobility platforms is not the only hurdle faced by consumers and open source advocates--government legislation and the complexity of managing your identity are also holding back innovation. At the 2006 Emerging Telephony Conference, Bill Weinberg, Brad Templeton, and Johannes Ernst discuss some of the difficulties open telephony must overcome. Learn about the adoption of open platforms, the innovation-killing CALEA law, and how we can take back control over our digital identities.

Gtone Episode 22 - Telecom and Web 2.0

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:20:00 GMT

This weeks episode is about the intersection between telephony and Web 2.0. We have two talks, one from a carrier perspective and one from a software developer.

Norman Lewis is the director of Technology Research for the Home Division of France Telecom.

The last five years in telephony have been nothing short of a bombshell for the incumbent telecommunications companies. Dr. Norman Lewis of France Telecom, believes that the telcos have no one to blame but themselves and their own business models.

Lewis refers to many blunders made in recent years, such as the way most phone companies handled their implementation of 3G wireless services. Billions were spent to create WAP, a Web experience on the mobile phone that was too slow and cumbersome for most users. Instead, mobile phone customers turned to SMS text messaging as a primary communications channel, a move Dr. Lewis believes no business analyst predicted ahead of the phenomenon.

In this keynote address to the telephony developer community, Lewis explains why a company with billions in voice related revenue at stake finds it so hard to innovate on voice related applications.

David Beckemeyer is CEO of TelEvolution.

Using a metaphor from the Matrix films, David Beckemeyer of PhoneGnome challenges us to look at the future of voice over IP. He argues that the current state of IP telephony is much like internet 1.0: Service providers determine the services, applications, and innovation available. Consumers, once they've chosen a provider, are basically locked in.

Beckemeyer explains that the internet of today is more open. Consumers are not locked in by their service providers. Rather, innovation can be created anywhere, and the marketplace decides which ideas are successful. His question, then, is how to move to this kind of thinking in the voice over IP market.

In discussing his new venture, PhoneGnome, Beckemeyer describes the beginnings of this VoIP 2.0 vision. This different approach to VoIP allows users to shop around for plans to call PSTN phones rather than forcing users into a plan. To create an open future for VoIP, he argues, providers must create services that give people value now and are flexible enough to allow consumers and developers to move to a new era for VoIP. According to Beckemeyer, innovation and wealth are created only in a climate of freedom and choice, and this is the future he is trying to foster.

Gtone Episode 21 - Mac Attack

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 15:51:00 GMT

This weeks Gtone is all about Application Driven Telephony and what people are doing from a hosted perspective as well as what is happening on the Mac. We have interviews with John Philips, Editorial Directory of Maclife Magazine, Jonathan Taylor, CEO of Voxeo and Kevin Ford CEO of Parliant.

John Philips - Editorial Director - MacLife Magazine - the leading independent magazine devoted to today's passionate Mac users, talks about Mac Products and their reference to consumer communications use. As Apple's technology is more widely deployed it is driving computing and communications for the consumer closer together. John argues that Apple has captured the imagination of the phone using public. This is courtesy of Berkeley Groks. http://www.maclife.com

Jonathan Taylor, CEO of Voxeo, is the driver behind the Voxeo platform for telephony application platforms. At his prior start-up, he learned first hand how painful and expensive it was to build phone applications. With a desire to change the state of the industry, he founded Voxeo, a company whose goal is to enable any person or business to create and deploy telephony applications quickly and easily. This is courtesy of IT Conversations. http://www.voxeo.com

Parliant has deep roots in the Mac community. Founder and CEO Kevin Ford is a celebrated serial entrepreneur who has devoted his high tech career to several Mac-related product and services companies. Kevin Ford discusses the award-winning product and how it puts the capabilities of a corporate PBX phone system in the hands of any Mac user at a price that is a fraction of any competing product.

Gtone Episode 20 - The IPhone and Great Design

Tue, 16 Jan 2007 05:23:00 GMT

If you have been in a coma you would have not known that Apple has announced an Internet/Wide Screen IPod/Cellular phone yet to be called the IPhone. This device is nothing short of a complete transformation of the smartphones for the consumer market. This week the Guys from MacBreak critique the IPhone from the floor of the MacWorld Expo. Then we are going to take a different angle and talk about cellphone design with Jeff Han. Jeff is a research scientist for New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Here, he demonstrates for the first time publicly his intuitive, "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Courtesy of Ted.com )

Ross Lovegrove is an industrial designer, best known for his work on the Sony Walkman and Apple iMac. In this highly visual presentation, he presents his recent work from furniture to water bottles which is organic in form and inspired by nature. (Recorded February 2005 in Monterey, CA.

Gtone Episode 19 - The Talk of Two Malcolms

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:01:00 GMT

This week is our Christmas episode and we have highlighted two conversations with Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm Gladwell is a staff writer for The New Yorker, and best-selling author of The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference and Blink. In this talk, filmed at TED2004, he explains what every business can learn from spaghetti sauce. This was recorded in Monterey California in February 2004. Malcolm talks about the science of happiness.

In the second conversation Malcolm explores why we can't trust people's opinions -- because we don't have the language to express our feelings. He highlights why not listening to customers can be a very good thing.

Malcolm is courtesy of Ted and IT Conversations. Music this week is courtesy of Podshow Music at http://music.podshow.com and includes Derek Miller with "We Three Kings", Ayla Brown with "Rocking around the Christmas Tree" and Mario Ajero with "Away in a Manger".

Gtone Episode 18 - Emotional Product Design

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 21:27:00 GMT

Telephony is inherently a consumer product. Although it is purchased by IT Administration, the ultimate arbiter of how a product is used and successful is how the telephony user gains from the use. This week we cover product design. Don Norman used to be known as a critic of unusable things but now, he says, he has changed. He has transformed himself into an advocate for pleasurable, enjoyable products. Beauty is good, says Norman. Successful products should a pleasure to use, and convey a positive sense of self, of accomplishment, and pride of ownership. In this keynote address, Norman shares work from his latest book, Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things. This is courtesy of OReilly Emerging Technology Conference.

Gtone Episode 14 Emerging Telephony and Entrepreneur

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 14:33:00 GMT

This weeks guests include Peter Cochrane from IT Conversations and Guy Kawasaki from Berkeley Groks. Also we look back at how the phone was used back in 1950 from Archive, called "Speeding Speech"

In this keynote address from the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference, Peter Cochrane, the highly esteemed and engaging techno-futurist, delivers a fascinating analysis of change in our increasingly smart, networked world. He points out that technology can sometimes offer solutions more quickly than people and organizations are able or willing to adopt, until they have no choice.

Peter is author of Uncommon Sense: Out of the Box Thinking for An In the Box World.

"Peter Cochrane is one of our most far-sighted visionaries, and brings brilliant clarity and focus to our understanding of ourselves and our technologies, and of how profoundly each is transforming the other." -Douglas Adams, Author, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

In Uncommon Sense, Peter Cochrane's follow up to the radical 108 Tips for Time Traveler, Peter explains how very simple analysis allows the prediction of such debacles as the 3G auction and the subsequent collapse of an industry, whilst simple-minded thinking is dangerous in the context of a world that is predominantly chaotic and out of control.

People balked when Peter suggested a wholesale move to eWorking, the rise of email and text messaging, and the dotcom regime mirroring the boom and bust cycle of the industrial revolution. His predictions of the use and growth of mobile devices and communication, or use of chip implants for humans to replace ID cards, passports, and medical records, or iris scanners and fingerprint readers - were all seen as unlikely. Today they are a reality.

Macintosh Evangelist Guy Kawasaki talks about his Garage Technology Ventures and what companies they are helping to grow. He talks about what it takes to be an entrepreneur with some sage advice. You can read all about Guy here.

Gtone Episode 12 - VoIP Security and VoIP 2.0

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 13:12:00 GMT

This weeks episode focuses on VoIP Security with a report from the BlackHat Conference and then a speech given by PhoneGnome's CEO David Beckemeyer. He talks about VoIP 2.0.

Dan York and Johnathan Zar from BlueboxPodcast interview Dave Endler and Mark Collier about their Black Hat talk and the VoIP security tools they released last week. This is from last weeks Black Hat Conference held at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Nevada.

The current voice over IP landscape resembles the early days of the internet, according to PhoneGnome's David Beckemeyer. Consumers are spoiled for choice, but the choices leave a lot to be desired, as most service provider are walled gardens locking users in to their services while limiting options and innovation. Beckemeyer puts forth a call to arms for voice over IP providers and consumers alike to imagine what VoIP 2.0 could be like.

Gtone Episode 11 - Nortel A Go Go

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 00:31:00 GMT

This week's episode is called Nortel A Go Go. Most of the show is an abridged version of the Nortel Microsoft Joint Conference held on Tuesday 18th July 2006 in Redmond Washington. Called the Innovation Communications Alliance, it is the forging of the Nortel Unified Communication Strategy up against the Microsoft Unified Communications Strategy announced earlier in the year. The domain was registered on the 13th July 2006 so this initiative is very new and could be directly in response to the Microsoft Announcement with partners Siemens and Motorola who directly compete with Nortel.

That being said, here is the joint conference in two parts, the first is the announcement with Mike Z, CEO of Nortel and Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. The second part is the Question and Answer Session with Analysts and Journalists.
