Trans-sector Innovations based on FttH Infrastructure
It is clearly recognised that fibre networks are being a facilitator for the emerging digital economy. The ICT industry has been lobbying strenuously for a trans-sector approach. It is a monumental task to bridge the various government silos and get them to work together within the trans-sector approach. Within this policy concept it would make complete sense to also align R&D efforts with these NBN and trans-sector initiatives. Any R&D initiatives linked to these large-scale nation-building plans will benefit greatly from the activities that are going to take place; and, as well as this, the effect of R&D investments could also be increased in relation to new economic activities such as the creation of new jobs linked to digital economy and export opportunities that will flow from the innovations.

IBM & Oracle – Solutions for Telecommunications
IBM and Oracle answer the call for innovation
Blink and you’ll find the telecommunications industry is changed. Competition is increasing and subscriber expectations are growing. Service providers—existing and new—seek new and better ways to differentiate themselves and gain market share. To be successful, today’s telecom companies must break down current cost-intensive information silos to increase efficiency and improve responsiveness.
IBM and Oracle have an outstanding track record for delivering business value in the telecom industry and providing solutions that offer end-to-end support for the key business processes within telecom companies—from service creation, offer management and order orchestration, through provisioning and service delivery, billing, revenue assurance and reporting. IBM and Oracle share a commitment to open standards that uniquely positions us to offer high-value, market-leading, differentiated telecom solutions.
At the apex of this alliance is the IBM Oracle BSS and OSS transformation solution. Providers need to offer attractive services and bundles while reducing complexity and lowering high-cost structures. The BSS and OSS transformation solution can help you roll out services rapidly and flexibly. And that can help you maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and increase average revenue per user while reaching new markets.

RELEASE INFO:
In this video course, we drill into the technology a bit,
to understand the concepts, standards and technologies for
actually transmitting voice calls from one place to another.
We’ll give you a real understanding of what “digital” actually
means, and how it is implemented. We’ll explain what a “DS0″ is,
and take a practical tour of digital circuits, including T1,
T3, SONET and ISDN. At a high level, we’ll see how voice, data
and video can be integrated.
Then, we’ll take a closer look at how this is all actually done,
with Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and digital carrier systems
that are the technologies at the heart of telecom networks.
Without getting bogged down on technical details, we’ll provide
you with a basic understanding of how transmission systems work,
including T1 over copper wires and SONET over fiber.
Most of the transmission systems we have in place were designed
for digital voice communications using these techniques…
but they are also used for data and networking.
This video course provides you with the concrete knowledge
of the telecommunication circuits necessary to a full
understanding of data circuits and network services.

Democrats approve Illegal spy bill, Telecom Immunity (FISA)
House Democratic leadership (which is to say, Congressman Steny Hoyer) announced a “breakthrough” in discussions with the White House and the Republicans which would produce a “compromise” in the long fight over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. I have taken several days to look over the legislation and have some comments.
First, the debate over FISA is of vital significance to our country. The issues are simple. They go to protection of our democracy, now under unrelenting attack by the Bush Administration. Repeatedly, official spokesmen for the administration have mischaracterized the FISA statute, misstated the import of their own proposals, and have used fear as a tool to try to ram through ill-considered legislation that would undermine one of the fundamental principles of the American republic: the notion that the Government’s intrusion into the private dealings of its citizens can occur only after a check through the judicial branch.
The debate raises many other issues. One of the most significant of them is the idea of immunity for telecommunications companies. The evidence at hand now shows that telecommunications companies facilitated criminal surveillance of their customers (i.e., surveillance that violated the limitations of FISA, and was therefore felonious) at the request of the Bush Administration’s rogue Justice Department and National Security Administration. The telecoms have spared no expense lobbying in their effort to get out from under the liability that this presents. Their efforts are plainly paying off.
In a sense, the entire experience with the FISA legislation works to demonstrate the darkest fears that James Madison articulated about war and fear-mongering and their ability to undermine the essential checks-and-balances of the United States Constitution. In 1798, at the height of the Quasi-War with France, which was shamelessly manipulated by the Federalists for partisan purposes, Madison wrote to Jefferson:
The management of foreign relations appears to be the most susceptible of abuse, of all the trusts committed to a Government, because they can be concealed or disclosed, or disclosed in such parts & at such times as will best suit particular views; and because the body of the people are less capable of judging & are more under the influence of prejudices, on that branch of their affairs, than of any other. Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions agst. danger real or pretended from abroad.
In a like manner, the Bush Administration’s “war on terror” has provided a pretext to transform the American republic into a new form of state. In place of the Founders’ carefully counterposed checks and balances, the Bush Administration offered a new, unfettered executive capable of unilateral action even when encroaching upon the hitherto guarded rights of the citizens. The Bush Administration’s concept was of a National Surveillance State, in which a supposedly benevolent and protecting executive would move towards omniscience through the marvels of new and intrusive technologies.
But the Bush Administration’s secret constitution has another, potentially more worrisome aspect. It presented the president as ultimate interpreter—not guarantor—of the law. As the Stuart monarch who spawned the English Civil War, Charles I, said “rex est lex” (the king and the law are one), so President Bush and his followers enact Richard Nixon’s famous statement, “when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”
