04/18/2005 04:03 AMAT&T is migrating a host of legacy services to its Multi-protocol
Label Switching IP network with the goal of making it easier, and in
some cases less expensive, for users to support audio conferencing,
videoconferencing, IP Centrex and toll-free services.

04/07/2005 04:54 AMIt is no secret that Multi-protocol Label Switching has been a hot
topic for years. However, virtually all of the discussion around
MPLS to date has centered on its use within service provider
networks.

09/19/2004 01:30 PMDoc has a good
bit (on his IT Garage) on Digital Identity - preparing for the
upcoming DIDW (Digital Identity World)
conference in Denver (where I'm speaking - as well.)
One thing Doc doesn't mention - which I blame myself for - is that
FOAF is an important standard that can help promulgate the kind of
infrastructure Doc is calling for.
In fact at last year's conference - when Jamie Lewis called for an
open standard - I pointed out to him that FOAF was perfect for
that.
So here we are a year later and the FOAFnet is about to launch -
and it's time for yet another DIDW.
Here's Doc's
post on his IT Garage.....
Two things came up simultaneously today.
First, Kaliya Hamlin called, and
reminded me that I'm giving the closing keynote at Digital ID
World next month, where I'm on at least one panel (here's
the schedule). Also that I need to revisit the principles that
I've been espousing at
the last two DIDWs, which, she reports, are actually getting some
traction.
Second, Andre Durand, who got me going
on this whole Identity
Thing several years ago (shortly thereafter I began serving on the
advisory board of his new company, Ping Identity Corp.), put up
a fresh post on his blog: Federated
Identity & PKI Collide.
So I began thinking that Digital Identity needs to be a DIY-IT project
(DIYDID, let's call it) at least to some degree. It needs independent
IT professionals and other interested parties pushing the whole thing
upward from the grass roots; and not just vendors, and associations of
vendors, pushing them from the top down. That was one of Andre's
points in the first place, and I think it's still valid today.
Digital Identity needs to be a fundamental internet service. If we
don't push for something that's universal, and empowers markets from
the customer side — and not just from the vendor side — either it
won't happen, or it will be the same kind of mess we sill have with,
say, instant messaging (where there are no common NEA IM standards, just
incompatible, mostly non-interoperable competing offerings from
mostly-uncooperative major vendors).
As Craig
Burton says, infrastructure only achieves that status at ubquity. You get that
from grass roots movements that vendors as well as customers and users
support.
This isn't to knock the Liberty Alliance and other
efforts being made on the vendor side. It's to turn some attention to
the customer side, where the demand side is starting to supply some
"solutions" as well.

Pushing RSS
Pushing RSS
04/28/2004 10:29 AMWhile I was hanging out at the hospital waiting for the new
addition, I got to wondering if RSS has to be "pull" by
definition. Could you "push" updates from a site to a client?
Say you have a notification client — a little app that sits
on your desktop. You log into it, and it notifies the site that it's
waiting for notifications on port X. This inserts the IP and port
number of the client in a table of connected clients on the Web
server. When the site is updated, it runs through this table and
pushes XML to the IPs and ports in the table.
This came up because the nurses would often sit back at the station
and monitor patients from there. Now, I realized you wouldn't do
patient monitoring via blog, but say there was some event that
happened on a site that was important enough to warrant more than the
standard "poll-every-15-minutes" notifications. If you pushed the XML
like I explain above, end users would get it in semi real-time.
If you used this in conjunction with NewsGator's ability to format and display arbitrary
data, you could really move any information around quite well.
In the end, it's a cross between the "push" of email and the "pull"
of RSS, I guess. Quite possibly pointless.

Pushing and Turning
05/19/2004 04:38 AM
For every startup, there comes a time when you stop looking around
and start pushing,
the long haul. Your goals are clear so you pour all your
resources into filling
and expanding the rank and start beating the marching drum.
At the executive
level, focus shifts from faces and dreams to numbers and
dollars. It's a time
of metamorphosis that turns a group of people into an engine of
profit.
If all the pushing goes well, swell. If not, there is no
point in keep pushing
in the same direction. But all to often, startups I worked
with over the years
continued to pump away until the money ran out. The smart
thing to do would
have been to 'turn' your product line toward a direction that will
give more easily
just as a wrestler might. Some VCs see 'turning' as
compromising of the original
business plan, a great poopoo. Hogwash.
If the landscape changes, the map must change as well.

Legacy Admissions
Legacy Admissions
01/06/2004 08:04 AM A
ffirmative Action Texas Style Typically, anywhere
from 1,650 to more than 2,000 A&M applicants a year receive legacy
points, so called because they reward the grandchildren, children or
siblings of A&M graduates. Such applicants receive 4 points on a
100-point scale that also takes into account such factors as class
rank, test scores, extracurricular activities, community service and
others.
Most A&M applicants admitted with legacy points don't need them to
get in. But in 2003, 312 whites were admitted who wouldn't have been
without their alumni ties. In 2002, that figure was 321.
The legacy program was the difference for six blacks and 27 Hispanics
in 2003, and three blacks and 25 Hispanics in 2002.
I expect we will hear from the White House any day now about how wrong
this is.

genocide.
"There will be a purge on God’s orders, and
evil will be eliminated like shadows," the Unification Church leader
Rev. Sun Myong Moon, the owner and primary funder of money-losing
right-wing Washington Times, said last week. (The comments were posted
online by Rev. Moon’s webmaster and picked up by blogger John
Gorenfeld.) "Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not
then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will
bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist
purge but at God’s orders."

AT&T Looks To Cable For Help Pushing
VoIP
08/19/2004 12:49 PMAT&T has been a bit confused lately about what they really want to do.
They bought a mobile phone company... and then spun it off. They
bought a cable company... and then sold it off. They offered
residential long distance... and then they stopped. It seems that
there's no long-term planning going on there these days. Lately,
they've been focused on their new VoIP offering (who would have
thought that AT&T's big play is to be another Vonage?), and to help
push it, they're going to
partner with the cable broadband providers as a channel. That
is, any time someone comes to AT&T without broadband and wants VoIP
phone service, AT&T will point them to one of their cable partners.
Of course, those cable partners are all working on their own VoIP
offering, so what's the benefit in getting service from AT&T? In
fact, with cable companies beginning to realize that they should just
give
away VoIP to reduce churn and better compete with the telcos,
there's no reason to go with AT&T at all. Oh well. Given AT&T's
recent history, maybe they're just looking to sell off the CallVantage
service anyway.
