Podcast: What's up in markets where NMS is active

Just as VON Europe was starting I recorded a podcast with Carl Ford of Pulver Media.  It's just under 25 minutes of talk, mostly me, covering what I'm seeing in various telecom and Internet areas where NMS (or I personally) are active.  The sequence of topics covered is:

• Internet access and what I have in my home
• NMS name (NMS Communications vs. earlier name Natural MicroSystems)
• What we're seeing in our business unit that sells to VoIP and mobile telecom developers
• Brief mention of our cellular backhaul optimizer used at rural cell sites in developing areas
• Mobile applications
• Ringback tones
• Music industry and content aggregators
• Video technology - 3G324M, video over IP, video servers, gateways, transcoders
• Video telephony applications - face-to-face vs. see-what-I-see
• Translating mobile applications from one market to another, globally
• Emergence of Asia as a hotbed of new applications
• IMS & IMS evolution
• IMS vs. Internet, especially w.r.t. developers and new applications
• VON as a place to see exciting new companies
• VON business contacts
• VON parties

Again, it's 25 minutes in all, so if you only skim my written ramblings you'd better skip this podcast. But if you've got time to kill or are a really devoted fan, e.g. my mother, the podcast is here.
