5 Traits of Managers

1. Agility The global marketplace has created a business environment that is fast paced and rapidly changing — Manager must thrive under those conditions.
Look for: Cherry pick service reps who can change direction quickly and without much complaint, as well as those who work well without a map.
2. Hands-off management. Your ideal manager leads people, he doesn’t control them. Overly analytical reps who want things done a certain way aren’t the ideal managers.
Look for:You must promote workers who focus on achieving milestones and completing projects rather than on how workers are doing their individual jobs.
3. Tech- and communication-savviness. Your needs are constantly changing, but technology is changing, too. Your company must always be aware of new and upcoming technologies.
Look for: Choose service agents who are comfortable using new technologies and who have experience with multiple communication tools, including email.
4. Good planning. Managers spend a good deal of time planning for upcoming campaigns, new product launches, and new training approaches.
Look for: You’ll want someone who is detailed, organized, and can work as a team.
5. A sense of urgency. Your company doesn’t have all the time in the world to make changes or try new strategies. Waiting too long to switch gears could ruin your bottom line.
Look for: The best person for management is someone who understands the urgency of now and is willing to work hard immediately for big pay offs later.

Windows Live Essentials Suite Now Available for Download

The wait is finally over. You can head over to explore.live.com to download the new version of Windows Live Essentials suite that includes Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Live Writer and other great programs.
But before you hit the download button, here’s something you should know.

There are two separate installers for Windows Live Essentials.
The main installer – wlsetup-webd.exe – is the one that will install all the Windows Live programs on your computer in one go. The other installer – wlsetup-webc.exe – will let you choose the programs that you want to install on your machine.
If you are someone like me who doesn’t use Messenger or Live Mail (as I am on Office Outlook 2010), the second installer probably makes more sense.
Also, you can only install the Windows Live Essentials programs if you are running Windows 7 or Windows Vista. It is not supported on XP.

Another WiMAX Operator Bites the Dust

Worldmax will cease WiMAX operations in Amsterdam by the end of July. It’s the second WiMAX operator to end services after Freedom4 sold its license to Broadband UK last week.
Worldmax blames the Dutch military. The company couldn’t expand its WiMAX offerings because of the interference in the 3.5GHz band. The signal conflicts with the military ground station for an intelligence satellite. Another report blames the inability to secure a 2.6GHz spectrum license. Poor indoor reception and lack of roaming ability also hurt the deployment.

“This restriction imposed by the Ministry of Defense makes us feel like landowners being expropriated on the basis of National and European security. The disillusion amongst us and our shareholders was huge when we saw investments made becoming immediately worthless,” Keimpe B. Algra, CEO Worldmax said, “While I am relieved that we could settle the issue after months of negotiation and uncertainty, it does hurt me badly to conclude that this is the end of a well established mobile broadband venture. This is bad news for our customers and a depletion of the already impoverished telecoms market in the Netherlands”.

Worldmax paid nearly $5 million in the spectrum. Greenfield Capital Partners, an owner of an investment company will lose around $15 million. It costs about$37 million to install the network. This isn’t a good sign for future WiMAX deployments. Two operators, along with Yota’s decision to launch LTE networks might be warning signs that signal the end of major WiMAX deployments.

What Is Mobile-Fi?

MobileFi is also known as Mobile-Fi or Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) and is better known as IEEE 802.20

IEEE 802.20, also referred to as Mobile-Fi, is optimized for IP and roaming in high-speed mobile environments. This standard is poised to fully mobilize IP, opening up major new data markets beyond the more circuit-centric 2.5G and 3G cellular standards. The Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) Working Group was established as IEEE 802.20 in December 2002. Its main mission is to develop the specification for an efficient packet-based air interface optimized for the transport of IP-based services. The goal is to enable global deployment of low-cost, ubiquitous, interoperable, and always-on multivendor mobile broadband wireless access networks. IEEE 802.20 has designed a new physical layer (Layer 1 protocol) and MAC/link layer (Layer 2 protocol) around IP packet Layer 3. It can operate in licensed bands below 3.5GHz, with cell ranges of 9 miles (15 km) or more. IEEE 802.20 can operate at speeds of up to 155 mph (250 kph).
Unlike WiMAX, which was incubated inside IEEE 802.16 family and evolved from earlier 802.16 technologies, 802.20 [5] or Mobile-Fi was designed from ground up as a technology to support high-mobility services. It aims to support mobility as high as 250 km/h and a peak rate of up to 260 Mbps in the licensed spectrum below 3.5 GHz. The enabling technologies are also OFDM, MIMO, and beam-forming. The draft standard is still under the IEEE standardization process.
Both WiMAX and 802.20 use OFDM-MIMO, which is emerging as the main technology for future cellular packet data networks, including 3GPP long-term evolution and 3GPP2 air interface evolution as well.
While the data rate and range of Mobile-Fi are only half those of Mobile WiMax, Mobile-Fi is inherently more mobile. It has an astonishing latency of just 10 milliseconds (500 milliseconds is standard for 3G communications) and can maintain integrity at speeds as high as 155 mph (250 kph), compared to just 60 mph (100 kph) for WiMax. Because it uses more common spectrumlicensed bands up to 3.5GHzit also offers global mobility, handoff, and roaming support. Whereas Mobile WiMax is looking at the mobile user walking around with a PDA or laptop, Mobile-Fi addresses high-speed mobility issues. One key difference is the manner in which the two standards are deployed. One assumption is that the carriers are going to deploy Mobile WiMax in their existing (802.16a) footprint as opposed to deploying a more widespread footprint, like a cellular network. Because Mobile-Fi is aimed at more ubiquitous coverage, a larger footprint will be required.
Countries and companies often seek to control the market by developing standards they hope will dominate the global scene. The United States has led the way with IEEE standards, and the European Union's ETSI standards are their counterparts. The work of standards consensus is ongoing, uncertain, and difficult to predict. Mobile operators, who are generally friendly to Mobile WiMax, see Mobile-Fi as a competing standard that could make their 3G licenses worth rather less than they paid for them. The fact that Intel is behind WiMax is a strong force and will undoubtedly push the WiMax standards forward.
Mobile-Fi will have to overcome several hurdles. First among them is the fact that it can be used only in licensed bands below 3.5GHz. Another is that Mobile-Fi trails the Mobile WiMax standards process by a couple years. Another hurdle is whether there is indeed a large requirement for 155 mph (250 kph) handoff. In addition, we do not know what effect Mobile WiMax being nationalized in Korea will have. And, very importantly, cellular companies may not be willing to undercut their 3G service. Certainly, we can assume that the US$100 billion investment in 3G spectrum by the European mobile carriers alone might be weighed against a workable Mobile-Fi standard. With the possibility of proprietary systems (e.g., WiBro, Flash-OFDM) being in place a number of years before Mobile-Fi is standardized, the likelihood is that by then, Mobile WiMax will be backward compatible with WiMax fixed services. Licensed or unlicensed, Mobile-Fi will not be ubiquitous, and WiMax probably will.
