Meanwhile Whale Kpop groups are conquering the world

So basically they drove into the countryside and tried to make phone calls to see if it worked over 4G. Because most calls worked over 4G, there should be no problems? I wonder why the Australia, Sweden, Iceland, New Zealand, Swiss and the USA then had troubles with emergency calls.

I think you're reading with today's glasses the situation of the past. In 1992 nobody cared about the Internet. Policy makers were working on ecommmerce run over telecom networks. They inadvertently allowed the Internet to break through. I explained it at INEX26 in Dublin www.inex.ie/wp-content/u...

No, it wasn't that. The Internet wasn't supposed to happen. It was never supposed to be this free. The Internet slipped through the cracks of the GATS agreement. And we're about to lose that too. See my presentation at the Irish Neutral Internet Exchange www.inex.ie/wp-content/u...

NOS, RTL en Volkskrant verliezen rechtszaak bij het Europese Hof voor de Rechten van de Mens over toegang tot verslagen van Ministerraad over MH17. Het Hof is van mening dat de Wet Openbaarheid Bestuur voldoende bescherming biedt en dat de beoordeling door de rechtbanken in lijn is met Artikel 10.

Grüß Gott Ronald, niet te ver van Huis ter Heide gaan, want voordat je het weet gaat God je ook nog groeten 😜

ANWB slaat alarm over uitblijven oplossing stoppen met 2G netwerk - Kassa - BNNVARA Het noodsysteem eCall dat sinds 2018 verplicht is in nieuwe auto’s zal eind volgend jaar niet meer werken, als het mobiele netwerk 2G definitief wordt uitgeschakeld. Dit betreft zo’n twee miljoen auto...

Dutch automobile association warns that end of 2G is also end of eCall and there isn't a replacement operational yet. I will say I told you so, because I told you so! :-) www.bnnvara.nl/kassa/artike...

And I take offense to the characterization that Dutch food is only bland or fried. Dutch cooking has come a long way. Dutch families use a variety of vegetables and spices for almost any meal. Go to an Albert Heijn and you will find enough meal packages with all the vegetables and spices

John? Please tell me what you felt when Peter lacked the emotional maturity to deal with how you screwed BILLY... 😝

Ze is clickbait... Ook voor jou

Well still quite a few places do and GIA is making it easier too

I leave that discussion for Nicolas Guillaume formerly of Netalis, who does not seem to have an account here

This is a yearly reminder to the developed world that the USA doesn't even have pre-filled-in online filing of personal income taxes directly with the government

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?

I have a bill to get that done.

What we want is point to point fibre topology with XGS-PON optical layer.

Beer is always a good idea

So strictly speaking it is Deutsche Telekom who is now 45 years underway and still needs another 25 years to complete the Schmidt directive 😝 mind you, DT has many times stated that FTTH isn't necessary... Or before that the Internet was the wrong decision and we needed ISDN and intelligent networks

Well, a new thought I had while driving: Do I read it correctly that Schmidt directs the postal and telecom minister and therefore Deutsche Telekom to invest in fibre? The Schwarz-Schilling decision allows cable but doesn't seem to say anything that blocks Deutsche Telekom to invest in fibre

Just look up when the ITU did fibre standards in the G range, you will see that it took until well into the 90s to get anything that could be used for FTTH

Not in the eighties. ... Even adding empty ducts, like we did in NL in some projects (and Schwarz-Schilling suggested het maybe should have done) didn't deliver any real value, because years later the tubes turned out to be wrong, crunched (bad for fiber not copper) etc etc.

You're aware this is the foundation to promote most favorable image of Helmut Schmidt, regardless of the factual reality ?

You can blame Schwarz-Schilling probably for other things, but in Telecom the man made the right decision on cable. Without Germany would have been even further behind! The Schwarz-Schilling family can also take credit in GSM, netneutrality policy, IP interconnection and some other telecom stuff ;-)

I speak German. Deutsche Telekom called me an idiot when I said the NDIX would bring cheaper Internet to Germany in 2001. It got mad in 2006 when I said I was going to write this paper at the OECD and later when I worked there. The fibre of the 80s wasn't good enough. www.oecd.org/content/dam/...

It's a nice write-up, but it isn't fully correct on the (technical) details, the history nor the reality of other OECD countries. There is a wide variety of models to choose from and having a monopoly isn't always the best. The report below could be a follow up www.oecd.org/content/dam/...

Meanwhile France rolled out FTTH to almost all rural homes in a decade and has some of the highest FTTH penetration and uptake in the EU. French consumers can choose from multiple operators and pays as little as 30 euro for >1Gbps with 200tv channels and unlimited (international) calls.

Langsames Internet: Ist dieser Mann an allem schuld? Bereits unter Bundeskanzler Helmut Kohl nahm das deutsche Glasfaserdesaster seinen Lauf. Ein Hausbesuch beim damals zuständigen Postminister Christian Schwarz-Schilling.

The German wikipedia page on Schwarz Schilling paints him as the evil genius, but that is not supported by the reality of the technical facts, nor by this interview with him that it also cites. Mind you, he was instrumental in getting the GSM project going ;-) www.wiwo.de/politik/deut...

Langfristig falsch Bundespostminister Schwarz-Schilling drängt auf zügige Verkabelung. Eine Studie zeigt hohe finanzielle Risiken auf.

That Schwarz-Schilling was married to someone whose family had interest in a company making cables was a convenient way to create narrative. If you read the 1983 news articles in Der Spiegel it was more about media policy and not wanting commercial TV www.spiegel.de/politik/lang...

Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and the USA had some of the highest cable penetrations in the world and none of them invested in fibre to the home in the eighties. There were no standards and no commercially available home optical equipment or enough single mode fibre available

That is fallacy that is popular in German left-wing literature, but isn't based in technological fact. There was no country in the world building fiber to the home or Hybrid fibre cable networks at that time. The socialists didn't want cable TV at all. @robin.berjon.com
