Is the SUN setting on CLECs ? How will they survive in a UNEP-LESS Post ERA? In the good old days 199x - 2004 a typical CLEC with a 50 central office (CO) HDSL build-out, the CLEC is able to break even with just 20 business customers, show net EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of 20-plus percent over three years and become cash-positive in less than two years. With the recent UNEP ruling how will these xLECs navigate the vehement tumultous telecom sea and steer their company/ship away from the regulatory rocks so as not to shipwreck? One solution is VNAP http://vnap.ws and http://dv4.agileco.net/BizLocity Now Virtual Operators, xLECs, xSPs, Mobile, Wireless and Cable MSOs, and others can leverage this Virtual Network Infrastructure to redefine how services and products will be created and offer and break the tyranny of the DS0 and and the shackles of the unwilling partner. I will have more to say about this at a later time. 8:43:49 PM

Telesym Podcast: the Future of VoWLAN. Telesym Podcast: the Future of VoWLAN. If you're interested in where Voice over IP over WLAN is heading in the enterprise, listen to this interview with Telesym: I met over in Bellevue, Wash., today with Telesym, a firm that extends an enterprise-based phone exchange (PBX) system into laptops, handhelds, and "scanners": bar-code devices used in retail and logistics by store and floor personnel. I spoke with Mike Houston, Telesym's director of Marketing, Ken Myer, senior VP of sales and marketing, and Jennifer Gehrt, a founding partner at Communiqué Public Relations about Telesym's position in the market, but more largely about the future of VoWLAN. (Ken had to leave for a meeting, so I spoke primarily with Mike in this podcast). You'll hear at the outset of the recording after my introduction a conversation we had using Telesym technology: I was on a USB headset connected to a Telesym client running under Mac OS X; Mike was on a cellular phone. I had the recorder up to the headphone on the headset; next time, I'll plug the recorder into the line out on the laptop to better demonstrate the quality. The audio file is available as an 8 MB MP3 download, a 6 MB MP3 compressed with ZIP, or your podcast-capable news reader should already have identified it.... [Wi-Fi Networking News] 9:57:28 PM
