TADSummit online Conference, Truth in Identity Verification, Stefan Kostic, IPification

1 Comment

A subtitle for this session could be Flat Rate Continuous Authentication, but more on that later. IPification was launched in 2017. Missing the initial bubble-burst cycle of mobile connect. I realized that we’ve been discussing MobileConnect at TADSummit since 2014. With a presentation from George Held, VP Commerce, Etisalat Group and Frans De Rooij, Strategic … Continue reading TADSummit online Conference, Truth in Identity Verification, Stefan Kostic, IPification →

Choose Rational Thought over Belief in Telecom APIs

Leave a comment

It’s the early summer conference season, when Camara like OneAPI did in the past, gather the old-boys to sing from the same hymn sheet. Telecom APIs are a high data topic, we should focus on facts not belief. For those that do not know me, I’ve run TADHack since 2014, the largest, longest running hackathon focused … Continue reading Choose Rational Thought over Belief in Telecom APIs →

TADSummit online Conference, RCS Security, Bohdan Hopanchuk

1 Comment

We had a last minute schedule change, and Bohdan was willing to jump in at the last minute. This session is based on the conversation we were having about RCS security, as the schedule problem arose. There is a mixed reaction to RCS, and has little to do with the technology, rather the unthinking hype. … Continue reading TADSummit online Conference, RCS Security, Bohdan Hopanchuk →

With ICA, they’re not just enhancing telecommunication security; they’re creating a future where communication is smarter, safer, and more efficient for everyone. Michael was in Uganda for this session, while the troublesome Zoom link was with Long Island, go figure. Michael, like most of us, is frustrated with the degradation of the PSTN. This frustration … Continue reading TADSummit online Conference, ICA, Intelligent Communications Assistant, Introduction, Michael Gough →

TADSummit Online Conference, 30th April, Dan Petrie, The Geeky Side of vCon

1 Comment

I’ve been looking forward to this session since the idea came to me last year of exploring the geeky side of vCon. Whenever an engineer is wheeled on stage at a conference, the assumption is only other geeks will understand them, this must be a developer conference. That could not be farther from the truth. … Continue reading TADSummit Online Conference, 30th April, Dan Petrie, The Geeky Side of vCon →
