e-marketing: Speed

Do we need speed? definitely. But the cost of speed is high for a big country with a small population. The issue is quite different from those in highly populated cities like Seoul, Hong Kong and Tokyo etc. So cost is a central issue in determining what technology to invest in to achieve the desired speed.

Fibre or Copper? The choice between Fibre Optics and Copper Wires is a difficult one as we have to rely on future technologies to make the judgment. The problem of future technologies are they are not here and when they become available, they could be quite different from our prediction, so it’s more of a gamble, or an educated guess. Adding the national significance to the issue, it’s not surprising that it became a little political.

Base of Educated Guess:

Fibre has proven ability to deliver the desired speed, but it costs a lot as it’s not an existing network.
Copper network is here, but it’s ability to deliver the desired speed is yet to be proven although promising.

So what do you think?

e-marketing: Cyber Identity (w2)

It’s interesting to look back how the internet started, and compare to what we have today. Steve Jobs’ up and down is also a fascinating story.

Second Life was well discussed, but here is something even more stimulating. Have you heard of Cyber

Twin? When I first told people about this about a year ago, they all thought it’s was really odd and foreign. It’s actually created by a Sydney company, a lot more closer to home than you think.

You CyberTwin is not you, rather, it’s someone you want it to be. You train your twin, it would then have a life of its own. Well, you can always do the training again in case your twin gets out control. Now that’s something scaring, or exciting, depending on how up-to-date you are in dealing with cyber identity I guess. Just like you, your CyerTwin can live and breath in Second Life too.
