EU plan to spend billions on boosting broadband speeds

2011-10-18T21:15:00.004+02:00

The European Commission is set to propose investing almost €9.2bn (£8bn) in a massive rollout of super-fast broadband infrastructure and services across the European Union.
...

The money would come from a new fund called the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). This proposed fund would also be used for new transport and energy projects, with the Commission and the European Investment Bank absorbing risk and boosting the projects' credit ratings.

Part of the plan is for the CEF to pressure established telecommunications companies into investing more in their own networks, as they would not be the only ones able to bid for funding.

New players such as water, sewage and electricity utility companies would also be encouraged to enter the broadband game with CEF backing, as would construction firms, cooperatives and public authorities.

Creating Customer Value on the Digital Frontier

"And LEGO's Digital Designer lets consumers create models, brick by virtual brick, and then its Design by Me offering sends them the exact set of bricks it takes to build the physical model on their family room floor.

While digital technology has been around for quite a while now, those businesses that fully embrace this dual nature of time, space, and matter — the ability to create value through actual and/or autonomous events, in real and/or virtual places, with material and/or digital substances — open up new opportunities never before envisioned, engendered, or encountered. With the full power of digital technology at our disposal, the possibilities are now endless, for they are limited only by our imagination. And of that there is no end."

HBR: Why Your IT Project May Be Riskier Than You Think

2011-09-19T01:14:00.001+02:00

"Fully one in six of the projects we studied was a black swan, with a cost overrun of 200%, on average, and a schedule overrun of almost 70%. This highlights the true pitfall of IT change initiatives: It’s not that they’re particularly prone to high cost overruns on average, as management consultants and academic studies have previously suggested. It’s that an unusually large proportion of them incur massive overages—that is, there are a disproportionate number of black swans. By focusing on averages instead of the more damaging outliers, most managers and consultants have been missing the real problem.
...
Any company that is contemplating a large technology project should take a stress test designed to assess its readiness. Leaders should ask themselves two key questions as part of IT black swan management: First, is the company strong enough to absorb the hit if its biggest technology project goes over budget by 400% or more and if only 25% to 50% of the projected benefits are realized? Second, can the company take the hit if 15% of its medium-sized tech projects (not the ones that get all the executive attention but the secondary ones that are often overlooked) exceed cost estimates by 200%? These numbers may seem comfortably improbable, but, as our research shows, they apply with uncomfortable frequency.
...
Even if their companies pass the stress test, smart managers take other steps to avoid IT black swans. They break big projects down into ones of limited size, complexity, and duration; recognize and make contingency plans to deal with unavoidable risks; and avail themselves of the best possible forecasting techniques—for example, “reference class forecasting,” a method based on the Nobel Prize–winning work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. These techniques, which take into account the outcomes of similar projects conducted in other organizations, are now widely used in business, government, and consulting and have become mandatory for big public projects in the UK and Denmark."

The Economist: Green growth

2011-09-18T23:56:00.000+02:00

Some emerging-world companies are combining growth with greenery

"A new study by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) identifies 16 emerging-market firms that they say are turning eco-consciousness into a source of competitive advantage. These highly profitable companies (which the study dubs “the new sustainability champions”) are using greenery to reduce costs, motivate workers and forge relationships....
The most salient quality of these companies is that they turn limitations (of resources, labour and infrastructure) into opportunities.
...
Nonetheless, the central message of the WEF-BCG study—that some of the best emerging-world companies are combining profits with greenery—is thought-provoking. Many critics of environmentalism argue that it is a rich-world luxury: that the poor need adequate food before they need super-clean air. Some even see greenery as a rich-world conspiracy: the West grew rich by industrialising (and polluting), but now wants to stop the rest of the world from following suit. The WEF-BCG report demonstrates that such fears are overblown. Emerging-world companies can be just as green as their Western rivals. Many have found that, when natural resources are scarce and consumers are cash-strapped, greenery can be a lucrative business strategy."

IndaVideózás külföldről

2011-08-28T12:36:00.003+02:00

Elég értelmetlen hogy alapból az IndaVideó nem nézhető külföldről, mégpedig azért mert igazából mégis nézhető. Gyakorlatilag egy magyar proxyn (átjátszón) keresztül kell az oldalt betölteni, aminek hatására "Magyarrá válunk".

A jól ismert hibaüzenet: "Drága néző! Úgy tűnik, ön vagy külföldön van, vagy az internetkapcsolata fut át külföldi közvetítőn. A filmek egyelőre sajnos nem elérhetőek Magyarországon kívülről. Dolgozunk rajta, hogy ez megváltozhasson, nézzen vissza időnként, hátha már jó. Köszönjük a megértést!"

És annak elkerülése:

A böngészőhöz le kell tölteni egy Proxy bővítményt.
Chromehoz: Proxy Switchy (honlapja)
Keresni kell egy magyar proxy címet pl. erről az oldalról.
Telepítés után hozzunk létre egy Proxy profilt. A neve legyen pl. "Hungary" és adjuk meg a listáról kiválasztott magyar proxy címet, végül mentsük el a módosításokat. (Lásd a lenti képen.)
Ezután az IndaVideo http://film.indavideo.hu felhívása után a cím mellett aktiváljuk a magyar profilt.
(Nem szükséges de természetesen a cím függvényében automatikus váltás is beállítható. Azaz ha IndaVideót néz az ember a bővítmény automatikusan tud váltani a magyar profilra.)

Értelem szerűen a fenti oldalon található proxy címek nem örök életűek. Amennyiben az IndaVideó oldala nem tölti be a filmet, válasszunk másik proxy címet a listáról. A módszer ugyanis működik.

The Economist: Think different

Clay Christensen lays down some rules for innovators. But can innovation be learned?

"Innovators are constantly asking why things aren’t done differently. This taste for questions is linked to a talent for observation."
