      Tablets have provided some important insights about the ways "work" gets done these days, with clear implications for use of PCs and even traditional "work" applications. Tablets will displace PCs to some extent. The only issue is how great the displacement trend will become.  There is mounting evidence that tablets are, in fact, displacing PCs (especially notebooks). But "why" such displacement is occurring is what is really important.  One might argue that user behavior, in ...

      Chattanooga EPB is doing something that's eluded a number municipally-owned broadband service providers: it's beating its own subscription projections and is making a profit. The service provider said that it now has 35,000 Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) customers, 9,000 more than its initial goal of 26,000 customers by the third year in operation.

      Recently we noted how ViaSat's new 12 Mbps satellite service, well-hyped at CES, wasn't quite the revolution it was cracked up to be in the press. In addition to not being available to everyone and being offered belatedly to existing customers, the tier makes the one thing users hate about satellite broadband (caps) worse, with Exede's usage limits actually lower than existing services. ViaSat's service costs $50 for 7.5 GB ...

      View all 3 articles » Explore IP Carrier (Feb 12 2012) Applications

      Bandwidth planning has become a tricky business since data traffic completely displaced voice as the driver of consumption. Not only is demand more variable and uncertain, growth is more dynamic, by an order of magnitude or two. That raises an obvious question for mobile service providers: how much bandwidth do they need to be ready to supply to customers? The question might be easier to answer if demand were not if end user demand was ...
