The Chronicles of…

Amsterdamci dobili svoj WiMAX. Nisam baš siguran za brzine koje vrlo spretno nigdje ne spominju ali cijena će biti 20 EUR za FlatRate štogod im to značilo. Tvrde da je to prvi mobilni WiMAX a isplativost (tako kažu) je u tome što imaju nacionalnui i ekskluzivnu licencu što bi reklo da princip koji  je naš HAT izmislio malo grbav. Da je princip dijeljenja koncesija po županijama totalno grbav zna se od početka ali to nikog ionako nije briga (nije bilo briga) zbog cijena opreme  i svega ostalog što je tu tehnologiju kočio da napravi bilo što pametno (isplativo). Sad kad cijene opreme padaju i mobilni WiMAX polako dolazi ostaje jedino rascjepkanost koncesija kao problem.

Mobilnost je OK kome treba, a kome treba taj valjda ima i računicu platiti mobilnost i po sadašnjim cijenama ako je samo za rad. P2P ionako nikad neće biti dobrodošao na tim mrežama. Oni koji stvarno žele nešto više od Interneta ionako nemaju previše opcija, FTTH je jedino što ima smisla. Što? Ne vjerujete da je 100 Mbps nešto sasvim normalno?

Koreans take 100Mbps broadband for granted
The majority of South Koreans rate their broadband services as ‘ordinary’ despite having the world’s fastest internet connections, according to a recent survey.
Korean broadband providers typically offer speeds of 100Mbps. However, the government-sponsored Korean Communications Commission (KCC) found that no service provider consistently provides this level of service.
The fastest ‘100Mbps’ service was delivered by LG Powercomm with an average speed of 91Mbps, the KCC found.
The average speed of all 100Mbps service providers is just 46Mbps, but this compares to typical average broadband speeds of well below 10Mbps in most other countries.

Strava, neki bezobraznici daju samo 46Mbps… ma prejadno, gdje će im duša… :-)) Nego… da li znate što je to zettabyte (1 ZB – zetabajt ili milijardu gigabajta ako sam dobro skratio nule). E pa još malo pa će toliko iznostiti ukupni promet. I nije to baš ništa strašno, samo treba malo podebljati pipe kaže Cisco…

Cisco Visual Networking Index – Forecast and Methodology, 2007–2012
In 2012, the total annual volume of IP traffic will reach half a zettabyte. At 44 exabytes per month, the annual run rate of traffic will be 522 exabytes per year. A zettabyte, or 1,000 exabytes, will be the new milestone to look for beyond 2012.
IP traffic will nearly double every two years through 2012. Total IP traffic will increase by a factor of six from 2007 to 2012. Driven by high-definition video and high-speed broadband penetration, consumer IP traffic will bolster the overall IP growth rate so that it sustains a steady growth rate through 2012, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46 percent.

Sve se povećava pa tako i veličina fotki na mobilnim telefonima. 8,1 megapixela na mobitelu? Zašto ne ali… eh… kako to poslati nekome ili postaviti na server ili … mislim, sa ovim kilavim brzinama koje nudi GPRS neće baš ići…

Sony Ericsson brings out the photographer in us all unveiling its first ever 8.1megapixel camera phone and a stylish snapshot phone
17 June 2008 The new C905 Cyber-shot™ and S302 Snapshot camera phones from Sony Ericsson allow consumers around the world to capture and share vivid photos whatever their needs, photography skills or budget. Whether it is a compact camera phone with prestige good looks, or a real alternative to a digital camera, Sony Ericsson has the phone for the job.
Singapore, 17 June 2008 – The C905 is Sony Ericsson’s first Cyber-shot slider and its most advanced camera phone yet. With an 8.1 megapixel camera and real camera flash amongst its cutting-edge capabilities, it offers easy photo-taking in a phone that derives its looks from a digital camera and offers the picture quality to match. In comparison the S302 Snapshot is for those who want it all at an affordable price – good looks, must-have features and a pocket-sized slim design.

Možda da kad bi telefončić imao LTE u sebi… možda… ili barem WiMAX ili tako nešto. Do tada i nema nekog smisla… 8,1 megapiksel… strašno. Nortel se odlučio ipak kladiti na LTE i prestati čekati da kilavi WiMAX konačno ispuni svoja obečanja.

Nortel shifts R&D funding to LTE
Nortel is pulling in-house research and development funds out of WiMax and concentrating on LTE (Long Term Evolution), the next generation of cellular mobile broadband.
WiMax development has been consigned to a joint venture with WiMax equipment maker Alvarion.
Nortel had been developing products for both technologies side by side. Although LTE standards have not been finalised, the demand for LTE is growing much faster in developed economies than expected, according to Nortel.
"The LTE market is coming up at us quicker than we thought, so we are putting our foot on the pedal for LTE," said Gerry Collins, director of wireless at Nortel EMEA.

Kad se to sve zakuha bit će lakše stvarati rekorde tipa FireFox DLDay. Nije da im ne ide ali…

Looks like Firefox Download Day may be one for the record books after all. Though its servers were initially overwhelmed by the volume of download requests, Mozilla appears to have the Firefox 3 download site humming along nicely now. It’s serving up 14,000 downloads a minute and 13 gigabits of data a second.

Ne znam, nismo se baš pokazali, Slovenci nas deru za dva soma DL-a ili tu negdje i još im malo fali da pređu 10.000 komada. Pih… ali kad naši konačno dođu s jutarnje kave na posao (negdje oko 11:00) eeee to će biti ludilo. :-)))) Šala, u HR je ipak FF manje korišten nego u Sloveniji, naša ekipa voli M$ i IE7 i Vistu i tako te stvari…. e da i nogomet se sad prati, a Slovenci tu ne sudjeluju pa valjda više surfaju. Kod nas vidim da je veći problem po firmama što će biti u petak u Beču nego što će biti za mjesec dana u firmi… :-))

Nego, spominjao sam štednju i struju i te stvari pa sam se odlučio (stigla plaća) kupiti onaj mjerač potrošnje.

A pazi ovu ideju… ajmo natjerati sve zaposlenike da si kupuju svoje laptope. Zašto? Pa zato, to je ušteda… kaj ne?

Gartner says employees should buy their own laptops
Employee-owned notebooks increase staff productivity and cut costs, Gartner says
Firms should introduce employee-owned laptop programmes to encourage productivity gains and reduce costs, according to analyst group Gartner.
"Successful employee-owned notebook programmes have the potential to improve user productivity, create a clearer boundary around IT responsibilities and pass more IT costs to the user,” said Gartner analyst Brian Gammage.
Gammage explained the cost associated with PCs is the maintenance and support. “The costs go down for the enterprise if the notebook is provided by the employee because the employee takes more responsibility fixing the computer in their own time,” Gammage added.

Ja bi predložio da si zaposlenici sami donose wc papir… gle… i to je ušteda, kaj nije? Upravama Mercedesi, a zaposlenici nek’ si sami kupuju laptope… e da mi je vidjeti idiota iz Gartnera koji je ispalio ovu glupost. Vjerovatno isti onaj koji je napisao i totalno kontra članak …

Staff-owned laptops generate no savings for employers
Apparent savings are misleading, but there are still benefits to be had, says Gartner
Organisations that let employees use their own laptops at work may be chasing savings that do not exist, according to research firm Gartner.
Gartner fellow Brian Gammage warned that higher support costs and compensation payments swallowed up the apparent hardware savings made by allowing staff to use a virtual machine installed on their own computers.

Ovi iz Gartnera štancaju ta istraživanja ko na traci, niti ne vide da im se rezultati kolju međusobno jer sam siguran da niti jedno istraživanje nikad nisau ni provli već falsificiraju rezultate kao i svi ostali "istraživači" i anktari. Recite nam kakav rezultat trebate i mi šaljemo rezultate istraživanja kakvi vam pašu… super… e jebo studije i jebo Garnet… Koja je sve ovo manipulacija to je za nevjerovati. :-))))
