Having lost its Supreme Court case vs. the big broadcasters who wanted over-the-air (OTA) TV streamer Aereo erased from the video industry, it now appears that both sides stand to win big if the company receives the full clearances it needs to become what it long argued it wasn't - a cable TV service provider. The news that Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella is taking the axe to the Microsoft work force and the bulk of planned layoffs, estimated at 18,000 employees, will come from eviscerating the Nokia Device unit by 12,500 people, is not exactly a surprise. As my colleague Steve Anderson reported, while this move is likely to be the largest workforce realignment in Microsoft's history it is not the first time, and more could be coming. In addition, Nadella had sent not very subtle signals in a July 10 email, Bold Ambition & Our Core, to all Microsoft employees tipped his hand that this was coming. Voice over LTE (VoLTE) generates a lot of hate among IP communications pundits. A recent Twitter exchange I had around VoLTE verses OTT quickly degenerated into a one-sided rant from the other party listing different ways VoLTE could go wrong when trying to make a phone call. I'm no big fan of VoLTE, but there is a near-messianic hate of the technology. I'd like to see people grow up a bit when they discuss it, rather than devolving into a knee jerk rant about the evils of the old style phone world. No rules are better than these rules, Netflix argues in its filing on proposed Federal Communications Commission network neutrality rules, reiterating a call for Title II regulation, which would be a historic and major change of framework. One of the most universal precepts ever devised by man is the precept known as Murphy's Law. Though it's been said dozens of different ways over the years-some believe the law goes as far back as the 1800s-it boils down to the same essential concept: whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Over those same decades, there have been plenty of chances for Murphy's Law to get proven out, and a new report from MeriTalk shows that, indeed, the more complex a network is, the higher the chances exist for something within that network to go very wrong. Okay, so the news that Apple and IBM have formed what is called The MobileFirst partnership really took the entire ICT world by storm. As has been widely covered, the revelation that the two historic arch rivals have been working together on a venture, designed to produce made for business apps for exclusive use on iPhones and iPads, that leverage Apple's hardware and software knowhow with IBM's big data and analytics expertise, is really big news.
