Nortel CTO John Roese set out 4 predictions for 2008 in his blog posting<\/a> this week. He invites his readers to provide their thoughts on what we might expect to see in telecom and IT in 2008.<\/p>\n

In many ways, these predictions resonate with some of the themes that I have laid out over the past year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The arrival of WiMax and LTE<\/li>\n
  2. Unified Communications overtaking VoIP<\/li>\n
  3. Spectrum Policy diversity leads to multi-mode devices<\/li>\n
  4. Cranking it up a notch for wireline and optical internet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I have written extensively about Barrett Xplore rolling out wireless broadband solutions to under-served parts of the country. Will WiMax and other fixed wireless technologies, coupled with satellite, provide the solution to universal accessibility to broadband?<\/p>\n

    Unified Communications allows VoIP to deliver more than PoIP<\/a> – POTS over IP. Martha Bejar from Microsoft will be delivering the closing keynote address on the first day of The Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a>, June 16.<\/p>\n

    We have now seen T-Mobile<\/a> and AT&T;<\/a> leverage their WiFi hot-spot assets as a means to supplement mobile data networks. In Canada, the wireless carriers have not yet seen WiFi as a competitive differentiator; instead, to date, WiFi assets have been made available<\/a> to each other’s customers. Will unlimited data plans bring a change to how WiFi is strategically deployed in Canada<\/a>?<\/p>\n

    A year ago this week, Videotron launched<\/a> DOCSIS 3.0 powered 100Mbps cable modem service. Which of the Canadian telephone companies will be first to follow Verizon into a residential fibre optic based solution? Robert Depatie of Videotron will again be a keynote speaker at The Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a> on June 18.<\/p>\n

    What other themes do you think will emerge in 2008?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
