Making the World Wireless". Saturday, 11 August 2012. Update on the rising cost of power. In one of my recent blogs I went over some of this: http:/ telcotom.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/rising-cost-of-power-one-of-subjects.html. While I would like to claim it was my blog that started all this political uproar I think thats over inflating my readership just a bit! What is clear though is that one thing this political bun fight will not. As I concluded my previous blog if there was a way of installing a networ...

Making the World Wireless". Monday, 24 March 2014. The sad demise of Australian car manufacturing. Australia is about to lose its car manufacturing - regardless of what side of the political spectrum you support this is a sad thing - but it simply was not standing on its own two feet and was over reliant on taxpayer support to survive. Roduction not large enough to really compete with the mega plants in Korea, Japan and Europe. NOTE: The article was in Business Week and can be seen here. Smart Power for ...

Making the World Wireless". Wednesday, 5 June 2013. Is it just me or is this really obvious. So - the Australian government didn't make quite as much as expected from the "digital dividend" - the spectrum auction that was to sell off the 700 MHz spectrum freed up by the analogue/ digital TV switch-over. Not only that the spectrum authority ACMA has been left holding some sizeable chunks of spectrum that didn't sell - spectrum that is ideal for LTE . So - here are some ideas:. After the fibre has been dep...

TelcoTom: February 2014
http://telcotom.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Making the World Wireless". Saturday, 8 February 2014. The Wireless and mobile site build industry and its race to the bottom. I am saddened that, every day, people are dying in my industry - even sadder when the majority of these deaths could have been prevented. This week three riggers lost their lives in the US in a preventable accident. And why is this? A balanced Time/Cost/Quality triangl. When you cut costs and time - guess what goes out the window - network quality, build quality, including safety.

TelcoTom: July 2011

Making the World Wireless". Wednesday, 13 July 2011. Telco power and carbon taxes. So Australia has the dreaded carbon tax. For those of you not in Australia and may not be aware of this, the government here introduced a carbon tax / pricing scheme last weekend and it prompted me to have a think about how legislation like this might affect wireless/mobile telcos. The most obvious area is in power for sites. Here in Australia most sites are connected to mains power – why? It’s important to understan...
