Had lots on the go last month, and just wanted to provide my usual roundup of media activity. You never know when the press will call, and last month I had to decline almost as many requests as I could make time for. It was particularly busy in Canada with the launch of Globalive's Wind Mobile service, the first real challenge to our wireless oligopoly. I expect we'll see more of the same when the other new wireless players launch in 2010.

First, some articles I was cited in:

- ITWorld Canada - Globalive adds Calgary to cellular service area

- IT in Canada - Globalive is go – New wireless entrant gets gov approval

- Tech Media Reports - Novatel Wireless' MiFi service helps Bell drive data revenue and backhaul – for now

CBC Radio interviewed me for a couple of stories that ran nation-wide (MP3 files avalable upon request):

- BlackBerry Service Outages, December 23

- CRTC Update - Broadcasters vs. Cable Battle, December 9

Switching media modes, I participated in the 2009 year-in-review podcast with UC Strategies:

- UC Experts Review 2009 in Unified Communications, and Look Ahead

For my Service Provider Views column on TMCnet, last month was a double shot. Both my November articles got held up, so they ran in December along with my regular articles for that month.

- Will the Next Decade be Good for Service Providers and Bad for Privacy?

- How Can Service Providers Add Value?

- The Importance of QoS for IP Communications: Interview with Packet Island, Part 2

- The Importance of QoS for IP Communications - Interview with Packet Island, Part 1

Aside from this, I had my regular contributions to the Smart Grid portal, which will continue to be busy this month as the Smart Grid Summit fast approaches.
