In an interesting piece on Ars Technica discusses how the traditional telephone network is becoming obsolete and how we should get ready for the “All-IP Telco”. It’s interesting what this is going to mean for us as consumers..
The year is drawing to a close and it’s a good time to reflect on the more important technology, hardware, software and news stories of 2012. It’s been something of a mixed bag…
I have a new batch of oddball results and predictions for the coming year. That is, as long as we’re here to read them. Let’s commence with the prognostication, shall we?
