Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
In the wake of last week's Blackberry outage, Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney was reported saying enterprises that really need e-mail responses in less than eight hours to run their businesses should have a backup for the BlackBerry: they should also set up an independent system to notify them whether an important contact has received or replied to an e-mail message. Seems like a good market opportunity there: unless and until RIM gets its act together and delivers the five nines reliability which is the level of service availability to which telcos have long aspired. That by the way equates to just 30 seconds down time a year. |
