Dr Raul Katz of the Columbia Business School, USA, discusses national approaches to broadband rollouts and concludes most plans consist of one or more of three models, strategic planning, stimulus, or state intervention that are characterized in goal and intervention model. The presentation makes reference to the national broadband policies of USA, Australia, Singapore, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Ireland, Canada, Finland and New Zealand amongst others.
The earthquake and tsunami to devastate northeastern Japan in March 2011 remains the world's natural disaster to hit a developed country to date. As part of the recovery, enormous effort has been focussed on rebuilding the communications networks involved. For the first time in English, a comprehensive article is available detailing many behind the scenes aspects and many interviews with the leading players in the communications recovery. The scale of this disaster recovery effort and preparations and protection pose major questions not merely for technology but also for public policy and regulation globally.

Anastacio Ramos, Director International Public Policy and Regulatory Affairs at Verizon in the USA argues that broadband drives economic growth but there are significant policy issues raised by convergence
Taylor Reynolds, a specialist analyst at OECD, argues that broadband is a once in a lifetime development for society, and a once in a generation upgrade, akin to the deployment of electricity. He points out against this background that competition forces have served the wider objectives of national broadband policies in terms of consumer-friendly pricing and ever higher speeds (particularly seen in the clear disappearance of broadband speed capping practices) around the world well.
HE Dr Abdulrahman Al-Jafary, Governor of the Communications and Information Technology Commission in Saudi Arabia reviews the range of challenges and tasks facing the communications regulator
Carlos Lopez Blanco of Telefonica discusses a re-evaluation of "convergence" which has promised much but delivered little. Broadband must be seen as the key provision in convergence whilst policymakers need to overcome real challenges including a consistent enforcement of net neutrality principles, a strengthening of consumer trust and control and an alignment of international policy in data privacy and processing.
Paul Kenefick, Vice President at Alcatel-Lucent in the US, says that all available analysis projects massive growth in broadband services, particularly in mobile broadband, but that users will continually be seeking more as third party content and applications also booms. The communications industry is moving fundamentally from a service provider-centric model to a user-centric model. The US needs coherent broadband policymaking that will drive sustainable private sector activity but analyses need to look beyond simple penetration levels into other factors. International comparisons are also relevant.

Andrew Barendse of Telkom SA discusses the need and actuality of broadband deployment and regulatory approaches in Africa with particular reference to South Africa
One objective of auctioning spectrum for mobile use is to encourage new market entry in order to create competitive markets. However, as the mobile industry matures, new market entry an network level is improbable.

slides from Policy Tracker presentation on how the number of mobile operators (and the policies to encourage new entrants) might reduce overall economic welfare.
Daniel Arias of Telefonica Internacional argues that Latin America is a major success story in telecom and currently undergoing revolutionary progress in both fixed and mobile broadband in terms of deployment and penetration. Content is increasingly becoming available driven by many creative cultural reasons in Latin America and the Hispanic approach. Governments have been active in setting national broadband policies - and countries such as Brazil and Chile have placed substantial emphasis on these - but he points out broadband success will continue to come from a competitive private sector environment and although there is a role for government intervention it should be limited to those areas beyond the reach of the private sector.
James Speta of the North Western University School of Law argues that in the future, we face an effective reality of unlimited video channels. Media regulation will be therefore complex as traditional media regulation affected content indirectly by regulating market structure but the unlimited channel scenario suggests that this will be less effective because unlimited channels will reduce the market structure effect. This has significant implications for subsidy policies in content creation and distribution. Subsidies may still be needed if non-economic goals are important but the outcome may well be to reduce the politics of subsidies.
Reinhald Krueger of the European Commission summarizes the complex transition to a future regulatory environment in communications. Europe's new legislative package includes the provision for independent regulators, reinforced oversight, a fundamental transition to a competition-law only regime, a functional separation remedy and a specific EU body - BEREC. Increased regulatory consistency, more work on access products, and changes to broadband market regulation are also on the horizon.
Lawson Hunter argues changes needed for the policy environment particularly as regards broadcasting in an environment which has changed from over the air to wired IP archictecture and applications

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
