'The Route To Secure Local Radio's Digital Future' by Grant GoddardGrant Goddard
Proposal for the UK government and media regulator Ofcom to adopt a multi-platform approach to the 'Digital Britain' future of local radio, in order to reflect the reality that many local radio stations will never broadcast on the DAB platform, written by Grant Goddard in March 2011 for UKRD Group.

Commentary on the UK government announcement of a review of the regulation of local content broadcast by local commercial radio stations, written by Grant Goddard in February 2009 for Grant Godard: Radio Blog.
Within wireless carriers’ large technology environments, there are three conceptual layers that all have their own place in the network: Moving from the end-user to the network core, the radio/access network provides connectivity from the handset (mobile/cell phone) to the network via the air interface.
Then follows a core network plus service enabling layer that deals with things like coding techniques, transport and control for services, and security and quality of service techniques.
On top of that we operate the actual services visible to the end-user which we cover in this course: mobile Internet access, text messaging, picture and video messaging, mobile instant messaging, video and TV streaming services.

Fiber to the Home: Making That Business Model WorkYankee Group
What are the technologies that will power the Anywhere Network®? As our old-generation network expires and broadband becomes more utility than luxury, many have begun to question whether a sustainable and profitable business model for fiber exists. With a virtually unlimited capacity, scalability and potential for ubiquitous-ness, the technology itself appears a sure winner in the race for the next-generation network. But what will make fiber a successful investment?
Vendors and service providers have struggled with finding a business model that works for fiber to the home (FTTH). The current single source, one service provider for one customer model is too constrained. Rather, companies must look beyond the historical strategy of investment versus competition, embrace interoperability and work together to employ an open-access model for FTTH.
In this webinar, analysts Benoit Felten and Wally Swain explore how an open-access FTTH business model works, how to optimize it and what makes it the best solution for vendors and service providers.
Digital TV in Thailand Engineering Journal of ThailandYOZZO
As Digital TV is getting ready to launch in Thailand, local and foreign set-top-box, television, mobile devices and in-car entertainment manufactures, are also ramping up their activities for the digital broadcasts.
Consumers buying pattern from markets who already have introduced DVB-T2 Set-Top Boxes or Televisions, shows a special buying pattern from consumers. The majority will wait to purchase to the last months before the analog signal is switched off, which leaves a huge gap between launch and shutdown that needs to be explored to keep momentum.
To address the huge gap, it is necessary to think “inside the box”, and focus on solutions that brings value added service in order to cater to more segments.
'United Kingdom Commercial Radio Consolidation' by Grant GoddardGrant Goddard
Analysis of the potential for further consolidation through mergers and acquisitions of the United Kingdom commercial radio broadcasting industry and the lack of evidential data that previous consolidation produced the promised benefits for owners, listeners or advertisers, written by Grant Goddard for Enders Analysis in September 2007.
What is active mobile network infrastructure sharing? Trends in active sharing. Why should regulators allow active sharing? Implementing the regulatory changes for active sharing. List of examples.
A brief presentation on Digital addressable Cable TV system (phase III) to be implemented by the cable TV industry by 1st Jan 2016 in the urban areas all across the country. This is mandated by the act of Indian Parliament. This is one of the projects to make India, digital.
The paper provides evidence that the TRAI proposed reserve prices for the forthcoming spectrum auction in India carry a high risk of another failed spectrum auction. The perspective is a financial one, rather than focusing on technical issues.

Solito commento mensile sui temi dell'economia e del lavoro. Rivedendo quanto scritto nell'ultimo anno, bisogna prendere atto che i cambiamenti sono piccoli e lenti (gli ingegneri li chiamano "segnali deboli"), ma almeno speriamo che prevalgano sui "segnali forti" che purtroppo sono tutti negativi
