Companies recognize that the capabilities and availability of underlying network infrastructure are essential ingredients to sucessfully deploying and using Unified Communications transparently across multiple types of users and locations. Thus the ongoing Net Neutrality debate merits close scrutiny. Yesterday, Verizon and Google announced a nine-point proposal on Net Neutrality (see http://www.scribd.com/doc/35599242/Verizon-Google-Legislative-Framework-Proposal ). I recently provided a high-level analysis of the FCC’s Net Neutrality NPRM (see http://www.ucstrategies.com/detail.aspx?id=5345&terms=Lisa+Pierce ) On a 0-1.0 probability scale in which 1.0 is “certainty” and 0 is “won’t happen even if Hades froze over”, here is my assessment on the probability that the FCC will ultimately agree with each of the points in the Verizon-Google proposal: 1. First three points- Transparency, Consumer Protection and Non-discrimination on broadband Internet elements: Probability of FCC agreement: 1.0 2

5 Reasons Why Social Networking Software & Non-Profit Organizations Complement Each Other Perfectly Earlier this week at a neighborhood coffee shop I noticed a few young guys sitting at a table wearing black t-shirts with a slogan on HIV awareness and a small url which somehow stuck in my mind as I wondered where these guys were from. An hour later when I was back home I looked up the url and read about their campaign which was aimed at creating more awareness about the disease and convince people not to discriminate against people who are HIV positive.

[ Hannah Mellow has been an intern at RADVISION's marketing department for the past 4 months, and has helped us with our blog posts, along with the various tasks she did here. She has written a short tale of her experiences with visual communications during that time, and I am more than glad to publish it here] As my four months working as a marketing intern here at RADVISION are coming to an end, I was asked for my opinion (which is by no means an expert opinion) about my own experiences and user interactions with visual communications here at RADVISION. Prior to the internship at RADVISION my only real technological experience was using general Microsoft packages as part of my studies and Skype to talk with my friends – I would say that I have never been, or ever will be, a tech whiz .

There has been a lot of talk in the last months about the democratization of video. If you’re not familiar with this term, it basically means that anyone, and everyone, would be able to create, broadcast and share videos.
