Editorial–A little mobile HD voice misleading in South Africa

There’s been angst in the South African trade press regarding the lack of mobile HD voice service.   So I’m annoyed about playing semantics for  cheap PR.

“Contrary to popular belief – HD voice services are here (and sounding great)” issued by DUO Marketing + Communications for  client Vox Telecom makes this biiiiig stretch that [...]

Editorial: The problem with CES…

Tweet

I will be spending the next few days playing catchup from CES.  The problem with such a large go=go-go show is being caught out of contact with other news sources and not having enough time or energy at the end of the day to go see what everyone else has been doing.

(P.S. I’d [...]

Editorial: CES and the difference 8 hours makes

Tweet

Las Vegas, Nevada, Gate D50 laptop charging stations – Earlier today, I was making the show floor rounds at CES 2013 (OK, International CES 2013, but really CEA, you’re on my bad list just below the T-Mobile PR people at this point).  At 3 to 4 meetings, I said that there was a “25 [...]

2013–The HD Voice Happy New Year (maybe)

Tweet

If the stats from this web site don’t lie, HD Voice should be on the upswing. 

The year 2012 saw nearly 7,945 returning visitors – up from 5,325 in 2011 and 4,814 in 2010; a conversion to percentage growth is left to the math heads reading this note.

Looking back upon the [...]

Editorial: Movement on a CES 2013 session

Tweet

At this point, it looks like there will be a single hour-long session discussing HD voice and Rich Communications Services (RCS) as part of a larger, day long track. 

The panel session would be late afternoon on January 7, 2013. I’d be the moderator and there would be room for 3-4 panelists.  Discussion [...]

Editorial: Thanks, I guess, Apple iPhone 5

Tweet

This week was the busiest ever for the HD Voice News website. Probably be busy today thanks to the Forbes article written by Elise Ackerman, “Why iPhone 5′s Support For HD Voice Will Mean Nothing To U.S. Users.”

Apple’s (belated) rollout of HD voice support in the iPhone 5 has (finally) kicked of a [...]

Editorial: HD voice at CES 2013: Boom or boredom?

Tweet

I started making plans to attend CES 2013 (The 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show, to be more precise) earlier this week.  The Consumer Electronics Association hasn’t even finalized the day long pre-show tracks, but I wanted to get a jump on the process.  I’m wondering if HD voice will be a boom or end [...]
