This document discusses trends in green marketing in the telecom industry. It first defines key aspects of corporate sustainability efforts, including internal initiatives, partnerships, and product offerings that emphasize power efficiency and total cost of ownership benefits. It then argues that green is a market opportunity and trends can be leveraged to generate revenue. The document surveys standardization efforts and initiatives from companies like Verizon, BT, Alcatel-Lucent, and others. It advocates focusing on quantifying internal green efforts and partnerships between vendors and operators to jointly market sustainability. The conclusion is that while hype should be avoided, sustainability is a worthwhile issue that telecom companies should address comprehensively by highlighting the business case of how green initiatives help the bottom line.

Ericsson’s perspective on the net neutrality debateEricsson
We support an internet that allows and encourages innovation, investment and customization. Every internet user is unique in terms of what they value: the content; the price they are willing to pay for the delivery of that content; and the QoS level they prefer for that delivery. Consumers should have access to the information they need to make informed choices.
Keeping the net open for innovation is critical to ensuring continued investment in all parts of the internet value chain. At Ericsson, we believe broadband providers, device manufacturers, consumers, enterprises and content providers all benefit from an internet that is open to experimentation, differentiation and innovation.
With this in mind, we offer the following thoughts, backed up by real-world scenarios and technological realities. Our report aims to help guide policy makers as they grapple with the often competing demands of various players in the internet value chain.

FCC Open Internet Transparency - a review by Martin GeddesMartin Geddes
The document provides an informal technical review of the FCC's planned broadband measurement regime. It notes several issues with the FCC's approach, including that it:
1) Focuses more on political goals of "neutrality" than user experience
2) Does not adequately capture key technical aspects like network variability, burstiness, or what constitutes a "speed"
3) Sets up unrealistic expectations about network performance that may not match actual user experience
4) Creates challenges around accurately measuring performance across different technologies like DSL and cable.
Overall, the review finds that while the FCC addresses some important issues, its approach lacks technical rigor and could lead to measurements that do not provide useful or actionable information
Public safety is at a crossroads both from an operational and a technology perspective.
It is moving away from the reactive, resource-intensive models of the past to efficiency-driven, proactive, community-based models. From narrowband radio communications to coordinate their workforce to an environment that delivers more effective public safety through delivery of rich information infield over multiple technologies. It is not yet clear where the intersection will finally lie.
This presentation indicates that the answer is unified critical communications and no one technology will suit anyone or everyone. It puts forward a number of suggestions that will allow public safety agencies to prepare for the future and successfully navigate this period of change.

When we get water, electricity, or gas delivered to our home or place of work we expect it to have predictable quality. Why isn't this also true of broadband? The answer is we don't (yet) have the "glue" to integrate performance in digital supply chains.
The document provides a summary of two new discussion groups and includes links to various articles and websites about topics such as the future of the internet, blockchain technology, privacy policies, and QAnon. It ends by thanking the audience and noting there will be another livestream in April.
Digital supply chain quality managementMartin Geddes
We've figured out how to send physical goods around the world: aggregate them into containers. We're still struggling how to do digital good, which we disaggregate into packets. Here's the answer.
The goal of this presentation is to share exemplars of important broadband Internet access performance phenomena. In particular, we highlight the critical role of stationarity.
When they have non-stationarity, networks are useless for most applications. We show real-world examples of both stationarity and non-stationarity, and discuss the implications for broadband stakeholders.
These phenomena are only visible when using state-of-the-art high-fidelity metrics and measures that capture instantaneous flow.
Superfast or superfit? The case for UK broadband policy reformMartin Geddes
This is a critical moment for UK digital infrastructure policy. The context is one of rapid political, market and technological change. As a nation, we face important decisions over topics like post-Brexit regulation, universal service delivery, Openreach independence, TETRA replacement and 5G readiness. The imperative is to reflect on whether our historic approaches will meet our future needs. Where we anticipate a shortfall, we must act to protect our long-term national interest.
This paper aims to educate policymakers about one specific shortfall: the growing ‘capability gap’ between broadband demand and supply.
It makes two recommendations.
This unwanted situation is avoidable by two readily attainable changes in our policy approach.
Firstly, our policy metrics need to reflect the readiness of broadband infrastructure to support both present and future demand.
Secondly, the money needs to move to incentivise the right market behaviours to create a correspondingly fit-for-purpose supply.
When these reforms are enacted together, this will help to position the UK with a world-class infrastructure ready to attract capital and talent on a global scale.
Broadband service quality - rationing or markets?Martin Geddes
"Net neutrality" is implicitly framed as a debate over how to deliver an equitable ration of quality to each broadband user and application. This is the wrong debate to have, since it is both technically impossible and economically unfair. We should instead be discussing how to create a transparent market for quality that is both achievable and fair.
Introduction to network quality arbitrageMartin Geddes
Many large operators have expressed a desire to undertake disruptive change, and we have often proposed an agenda for such change. What typically happens is that, after several rounds of engagement, we observe that there is little mainstream organisational appetite to engage in disruption. Why so?
The main reason is a perception gap between the current state of the art (which any leading operator delivers) and our understanding of the state of the possible (which most operators are very far from). This gap exaggerates the risks of engaging in disruption, and underestimates the potential rewards.
Another reason is that our industry as a whole implicitly believes that network service quality is a matter of detecting and rectifying ‘faults’. This framing inhibits the consideration of the alternative paradigm of networks as resource trading spaces. As a result, the significant ‘quality arbitrage’ that exists in all IP networks is not visible.
Operators face the risk that others will exploit the arbitrage opportunity, to their serious commercial disadvantage. This has happened before, e.g. with TDM and the rise of ISPs, and is happening now with SD-WAN. We propose that a larger multinational operators need to proactively initiate the disruption via a new business unit.
The End of Information Technology: Introducing Hypersense & Human TechnologyMartin Geddes
If we were to climb into a time machine and set the dial for ten years into the future, what might personal communications look like? Might you inhabit a soothing virtual reality where your conference call takes place in a simulated lakeside villa? Might you consult with a virtual doctor? Employ a “Guardian Avatar” to act autonomously on your behalf eliminating online drudgery and security concerns? Although no particular future is certain, the seeds of what is to come can always be found within the present reality, albeit often only in retrospect.
Sample proposal summary for quality arbitrage business unitMartin Geddes
The telecoms industry is getting to grips with quality and performance. The current system has a weak control over quality, and many pricing mismatches. As a result, there are arbitrage opportunities everywhere. This presentation for a global telco proposed a new business unit to take advantage of them.
The future of computing is a symbiosis of machines and people. To achieve this we need an "operating system" upgrade for digital technology. We all need a Guardian Avatar to help us to navigate the "metaverse", and to care for us and protect us.
Evaluating the internet end-user experience in the Russian FederationMartin Geddes
This document discusses initial findings from research commissioned by Euraisa:Peering to evaluate the internet end-user experience in the Russian Federation. It describes a new peering point at the IXcellerate Moscow One data centre, which offers private peering connections. The research measures the quality attenuation (ΔQ) between various locations to understand how network topology, link speeds, and traffic loads impact the user experience for different applications. Initial data was gathered between Moscow, Chelyabinsk, London, Dublin, Frankfurt, and Singapore to analyze delay and how it affects users.
This document outlines a journey from being beasts to becoming superheroes to gods using technology. It argues that as technology allows us to be present anywhere and anytime through things like telephones and computers, we are building "superconductors for our minds" that transcend biological limitations. However, privacy issues arise when sensual data is converted to symbols that computers can understand and share. The document suggests we must resolve this tension between privacy erosion and enhanced presence. It speculates that the trajectory of technology development may lead humanity to become "Homo evolutis" that deliberately directs its own and other species' evolution, achieving a god-like state of being everywhere through advanced communication technologies.
Beyond 'neutrality' - how to reconnect regulation to reality?Martin Geddes
This document discusses the lack of engagement between broadband policy literature and technical realities regarding the stochastic nature of network traffic management. It analyzes the mentions of relevant scientific terms in books on net neutrality policy and finds little exploration of concepts like stochasticity, emergence and probabilistic modeling. It argues that the focus on detecting and regulating "discriminatory" traffic has been misguided, and that policy should instead define quality of service floors and use objective measurement methods to evaluate user experience. The document promotes socializing technical knowledge with policymakers and shifting the regulatory perspective away from traffic management and towards ensuring a minimum quality of broadband service.
The issue of quality in networks has been long being troublesome, resulting in endless deferral. It was a hard issue for the pioneers to deal with ‘quality’ and ‘QoS’ as the underlying mathematics was insufficient to support their ambitions. We have now filled in a significant part of the missing mathematical foundations. The culmination of that work is the ∆Q framework.
As a by-product of this framework, a new approach to sharing quality has become possible: a polyservice network. We believe that this is a significant conceptual and practical advance. However, we have (until now) lacked industry standard terminology to describe it.
This short presentation introduces the idea of a polyservice network, and contrasts it with pre-existing approaches to ‘priority QoS’.
The perception gap: the barrier to disruptive innovation in telecomsMartin Geddes
The 'state of the possible' in telecoms is a long way ahead the 'state of the art'. The new science of network performance enables a large leap in customer experience and cost. However, the perception among operators is that only relatively small, incremental improvements are possible.
This presentation explores the reasons for this 'perception gap' between what is seen to be possible, and what actually is. It draws on our work at senior levels for tier 1 operators, as well as examples from outside the telecoms industry.
Overcoming this gap opens the possibility to disruptive innovation. Who will seize the opportunity? Incumbents, challengers or new entrants?
The document summarizes the opposition to a proposed 25-meter mobile telecommunications mast over the village of Lastingham in the North York Moors National Park in England. It provides three alternative proposals that would provide mobile coverage while preserving the landscape and being more cost effective. The alternatives include a shared tree mast camouflaged in the valley near existing infrastructure, a BT Openreach mobile infill solution using existing poles, and an EE micro network of small discrete antennas within the village. The document argues these alternatives address concerns about resilience, environmental impact, and value for money better than the proposed mast.
Broadband is a relatively new technology, and its underlying science is still being developed. We have long understood the 'right' units in other engineering disciplines: mass, length, hardness, etc. What is the 'right' unit for supply and demand for broadband?
This presentation discusses the need for having the right metric. This means solving two problems: the 'abstraction' gap, and the 'inference' gap. ∆Q is the ideal metric because it fills both gaps.
Essential science for broadband regulationMartin Geddes
Is 'net neutrality' an objectively measurable thing? The scientific report recently commissioned by Ofcom (the UK telecoms regulator) on Traffic Management Detection says 'no'. Furthermore, 'neutrality' isn't even what we want! This presentation is an annotated version from a webinar that summarises the report and suggests a way out of the 'neutrality' quagmire.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
