My favorite thing about blogs is that someone will attend this conference , someone will blog about it, I will read it and then I can share what I learn here. Blogging is often the next best thing to being there.

I do know that a lot of the European phone companies were leaps and bounds ahead of US companies on VoIP a couple of years ago. I really only know the Irish and UK markets firsthand but I always wondered if the fact that that each country had a ostensible (if not actual) monopoly (British Telecom & Telecom Eireann) made it easier to create a plan to move forward with these technologies. Also it would be interesting to really look into the difference in regulation in these areas. I will definitely do that next year.

Given the wonders of 3.65 GHz spectrum and IP/IMS, there is nothing to impede foreign operators from setting up shop in US telecom markets. Warning to domestic service providers-get on the stick!

In my latest book “The Next Telecom Boom”, I postulate that Martians invade Earth in the form of a telecom service provider using WiMAX as a last mile access technology with an IMS core for services. The Martians offer a quadruple play of services for $10/month, which kills off Earthling service providers and their bankers.

Lets substitute “non-US origin” for Martian and US for Earth and see how a Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile is here already), TelMex (memo to Sr. Slim-I cheerfully shop your Sears store), or Telefonica could “invade” the US telecom markets using 3.65 WiMAX (blanket the US for a few billion $) serviced by an IMS core (no more than another billion $). The 3.65 GHz doesn’t require years of fund raising and gaming on licensed spectrum and VoIP/IPTV doesn’t require any painful FCC permissions (worst case: Bell Canada runs VoIP off a Toronto-based switch; TelMex from Juarez). Skype over WiMAX any one? Buying/setting up a US shell company can solve a lot of problems fast, too.

See my blog from October ’06 regarding “Lawyers, Guns and Money” and we see that opportunities in telecom enabled by WiMAX and IMS are not limited to markets in the developing world. They could be right here in River City, too.
