Are wireless networks a substitute for fixed networksryanhawthorne
1) Fixed broadband networks remain important for some groups that cannot rely solely on wireless, such as high-usage residential customers and small-to-medium businesses.
2) Evidence from industry data, surveys, and price trends show that wireless networks are not a full substitute for fixed networks for these groups. In particular, high video usage and business file sharing/data networks rely heavily on fixed infrastructure.
3) Regulatory decisions have also found that technical and economic factors prevent wireless from providing an adequate substitute for fixed broadband access for many customers.

Building a Meaningful Customer Experience on a Global ScaleRoman Nedielka
This document discusses how telecom companies can become globally recognized leaders in customer experience. It notes that while telecoms invest heavily in customer experience, no operator is seen as a clear leader. To become one, telecoms should look to attributes of successful customer-centric companies like Apple, Amazon, and Disney that are globally recognized and provide meaningful experiences. However, telecom industries operate more locally than these companies. The document argues that telecoms can establish a global reputation by excelling in customer experience in select countries and addressing challenges like frequent customer interactions and increasing expectations set by global digital services. It provides examples from Etisalat, a large Middle Eastern operator, of how telecoms can balance rational and emotional elements to

The document discusses the shift from traditional broadcast media to social media platforms on the open internet. It notes that traditional media companies are experiencing uncertainty and complexity in the new economic environment. Meanwhile, younger audiences are turning away from linear TV viewing and embracing online video platforms like YouTube. While telecom companies have invested in IPTV, most do not expect it to be a major revenue driver. The open internet allows for new advertising-supported models but has yielded lower returns than broadcast TV. Younger consumers increasingly expect entertainment to be free or low-cost and prefer social networks over traditional providers. The emergence of shared social spaces like Facebook and YouTube is shaping the future media landscape.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
