When the first news reporter began working in live radio, the world was
informed; when the first reporter began working in live broadcast, the world
was transformed. The world has changed since then with the introduction of
mobile and social channels, and now, reporters are civilians. Civilians are
news-hounds, and their audience is global, aware, and informed, all at the
same time.
The mobile device has made us boundary-less and timely. It has allowed for
immediate video streaming of global events and happenings from a variety of
perspectives. From wartime bombings reported via Bambuser to live updates
from the Middle East via @jeananmoussa on SMS, we are now in the throes of a
fresh news delivery platform.
One example of a solidly-delivered news piece from a civilian reporter via a
mobile device was around an incident that happened a few years ago on the ... (more)

I must confessed to rarely having a female mobility expert included in my
Mobile Expert Video Series, so today I am particularly happy to publish a
video interview that I conducted a couple of weeks ago with a 20-year veteran
of enterprise mobility Latecia Mills, VP of Global Services and Support with
DSI.
DSI has been in business for over 30 years, and they have been implementing
mobile solutions for over 20 years. It is not every day that I get to
interview someone with that much real-world experience. DSI grew out of the
heavy duty warehouse management and manufacturing industries, and this year
they made it onto Gartner's Magic Quadrant for MADPs (mobile application
development platforms).

London, 21 September 2012 - Increasing expectations from end-users for the
management of big data and premium services such as IP-based video-on-demand,
live streaming and HD broadcast, are changing the way media content and data
are delivered. The escalating demand from consumers is driving the need for
CDNs, to help content providers manage this need with a more direct, reliable
route. As CDNs play a prominent role in the way the content delivery
ecosystem is evolving, key players in the space including market leaders

It is estimated that CDN networks already deliver over 40% of the world's
Internet traffic, with this figure fast approaching 90% on some networks
during peak times. Increasingly, major service providers are investing in CDN
infrastructure to reduce traffic volumes a... (more)
