I was doing some site maintenance on this blog this morning and came across a widget that prevents phorm from detecting that users have visited this website. The authors have a website https://www.dephormation.org.uk/ which provides the most comprehensive source of information on the subject of phorm I have seen. It contains quotes and videos from pretty […]

Picked this up on my travels. It’s a YouTube video posted by Ofcom giving advice on how to minimise your phone bills whilst abroad. You might wonder why, as a mobile service provider, I am pointing you towards a site that will help you to cut your mobile bills. Actually the philosophy at Timico is that our relationship with […]
I’m on holiday this week but in the interest of keeping the momentum going on the blog it is worth posting some relevant collateral. You will have to scroll down to the bottom to get the association with technology. The video below was taken on Saturday at the breakwater in Peel in the Isle of Man […]
In my mind the clock has started ticking ever so quietly for the end of TV Licensing. A review of the TV License fee by the BBC Trust looks at the issues associated with collecting TV License revenues for the BBC. The report says “The licence fee collection is currently heavily reliant on the fact […]
On the 10th of this month the UKCCIS board met co-chaired by three Members of Parliament including Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Since its formation UKCCIS has concerned itself with putting together the structure of the organisation to take it forward and it has now announced a number of working groups. These include “Better Education” (chaired by […]
In my systematic tour of the UC09 Exhibition yesterday I sat through my first real life Telepresence demo on the Cisco/BT stand. Very impressive technology. It really was just like being in the same room, such was the quality of the video. I then sauntered along to the Nortel stand. Nortel have similar technology but […]
Notwithstanding anyone’s particular feelings about the suitability of the Pirate Duck as a technology blog post it is worth looking at what has happened since it first hit the ether yesterday afternoon. The Facebook group Save The Pirate Duck hit 50 members the same evening. Now, 24 hours after the group was started, it has 120 members […]
Unified Communications ’09 is on next week at the Olympia Conference Centre in London. I anticipate there will be 70 or so businesses there pitching their wares, including Timico subsidiary KeConnect which has a joint stand with Cisco. UC09 is a business to business show. It is worth reflecting on the fact that in the consumer […]
The things I have to do for the business. Today it was almost like being in a James Bond movie. I turned up at 10am prompt at the Thames Water Utilities Depot in Bow in East London – just around the corner from the site of the Olympic stadium which incidentally seems to be shooting […]
I attended the ITSPA council meeting in London today. One of the topics of discussion was the content of the forthcoming ITSPA workshop in Town on 12th March (ask me for details if you don’t already have them). We had it down as “opportunities and threats in the recession” or words to that effect. Not […]
The first UKCCIS Executive Board meeting took place in December chaired by Ed Balls, DCSF Secretary of State and Alan Campbell, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for crime reduction at the Home Office. The fact that this Board is being chaired by such high profile politicians is an indication of the seriousness with which the Government is taking the […]
We live in interesting times. UK Film and TV producers today called for the Government to take action to tackle potential online copyright infringement. I fully support rights holders’ right to enforce their intellectual property rights. In fact this has been the subject of discussion in the industry since the publication of the Gowers’ Review […]
The Competition Commission has put the sword to Project Kangaroo. This was a proposed joint venture by the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 for a single online vehicle that would provide each channel’s TV content over the internet. Content was going to be paid for by advertising. Basically the Commission believes that the venture would reduce competition in the […]
I went to a Cisco Business Solutions Workshop today. It was aimed at the Small and Medium sized Business market and Cisco were expecting around 400 resellers to be in attendance. Considering the event was held at the Vauxhall Vehicle test track in Millbrook with test drives on offer I think the turnout was quite […]
The University of California, Berkeley too the step a couple of years ago to make some of its lectures available for download via podcast. A year or so ago it started making these lectures available as video on YouTube. Yesterday I was told that the number of lecture downloads has now exceeded 1 million. Pretty amazing.
I was asked to do a short talk on technology for the pupils of Oakham School. It presented some challenges – how to cram the subject into ten minutes or so. I decided that the best and most efficient way to do it was to make use of web technology to deliver the talk. This short video is […]
After a fiercely fought video competition which brought in some imaginative entries I am pleased to announce that the winner is Scott Wroe from the Timico, Newark, marketing department. The winning video is well worth watching timicofinalscottwroe. Congratulations also to Andy Twine of Twang.net who came a close second with commendations to James Vestbirk, Jo […]
Tesco has just announced a new investment worth £100m over 5 years in a new next gen telecommunications platform connecting 1,800 sites over 14 countries. What the announcement doesn’t say is that it is based on Nortel technology. Specifically the multimedia collaboration features are based on the Nortel AS5200 platform. This is the same platform […]

Nortel carrier strategy
Had a really good meeting with the Nortel Carrier team on Wednesday – I’ve not really had a chance to write it up and post before now. The meeting was held to discuss their SIP/multimedia product roadmap. The Nortel Enterprise Division has been making a lot of noise in the multimedia/Unified Comms space (SCS500 – […]
In my travels around the Timico empire I try to avoid staying in hotels. When I visit Twang in Newbury I stay at The Bunk Inn in Curridge. Home from home, good beer, good food and friendly staff. The downside of the Bunk is that to make a mobile phone call you have to walk […]
Well I have been bowled over by an application that I saw today for the first time on Facebook. I was responding to an invite of an old friend Carl Ford to attend an online conference call on Alec Saunders’ Squawkbox. The subject was “deploying globally, regulated locally”. Regulatory stuff isn’t really what turns me […]
The broadband ISP community has been coming in for some bad press recently with high profile stories of bandwidth capping and throttling, the use of deep packet inspection to manage and shape traffic, complaints to the ASA by BT regarding deception of customers by Virgin complaints from the ISP industry about who pays for […]
You might ask yourself what WWF has to do with VC and HD? In fact you are probably wondering what the acronyms actually stand for and what have they got to do with Wembley. We are talking World Wide Fund for nature, Video Conferencing and High Definition. (I knew that do I hear you […]
I had my first £80 tank of petrol today. It seems to me that now is the time to start investing in public transport stocks. I also has to be time to look at ways that a business can cut down on its travel spending and Unified Communications and online collaboration is the way forward. We recently […]
