Telecoms:
- PTTs are still not all 100% government independent: look at Colombia, Cameroon, Switzerland, Australia. In the Netherlands the job is almost done.
- In the wireless space: thye new Vodafone structure, which may lead to another round of sell-offs (like stakes in Proximus and Swisscom Mobile), to be followed by acquisitions? What about Arcor - is it still up for sale?
- In the Netherlands, Orange has 3 years to become profitable. If not, what will happen? And what about Wanadoo NL?
- The CTIA conference led to a bunch of cable press releases. Of special interest are developments around IP and IMS (PacketCable 2.0) and bandwidth (DOCSIS 2.0, 3.0), including dynamic bandwidth allocation (Camiant, Caspian).
- In muniwifi we saw Google and EarthLink team up in San Francisco. That could lead to much stronger tie. How about a takeover? (Both companies report Q1 earnings on April 2o.)
- Finally, lots around MVNOs, WiFi, WIMAX, VoIP (including the Skype acquisition of Camino for better quality), IPTV (including service for businesses), dual mode handsets and double/triple/quad plays (most notably the 'free' offer from Carphone Warehouse).
- As usual, plenty of news around Google (including buying the algorithm for enhanced contextual ads (AdSense), using 'instant answers').
- Blogs to the mainstream!
- How about this: offline search from Webaroo and click fraud without clicks!
- ABC on demand, as well as lots of other video on the net.
- Print consolidating.
- Spectacular compression efforts from Euclid.
