"Determination to succeed is what counts”: 24/7 Customer CEOWhat could be new or interesting about "yet another VC-backed BPO Firm" launching yet another call center facility in India? Luckily for me, I did not let this question dissuade me from attending the launch of the 24/7 Customer's latest facility in Chennai last week.
A freewheeling conversation with P.V. Kannan, Co-Founder & CEO of 24/7 Customer, after the launch event, left me with a feeling that it would be wrong to slot his company with the rest of the pack. [0 opinions] (52 views) un-rated.

ID Technology Part III: Orwell's Not Alone AnymoreForget about retina-scan, fingerprinting and photographs, used at the presidential inaugural. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all quite helpful. Yet none of them would prove as good as a chip combined with one of these other technologies. And sooner or later that idea will sink in.

Financing Innovation in France: Capital Overhang or Capital Shortage?Like any expanding sector, venture capital is subject to cycles, of which the 1997-2003 was the most emblematic. This cycle is analysed as an excess of available funds compared to the absorption capacity of the market: there was allegedly a lack of innovating projects able to fit the venture capital investment policy.
In the US, there would be today between USD68 and 86 billion to invest in venture capital, to be compared to the 27 billion invested in North American technological venture capital as of 2003. However, this represents only two to three years of investments’ flow. Taking into account that a venture capital fund is invested within five years, this situation seems quite logical. Besides, this potential capital overhang did not prevent the best VC funds from being oversubscribed. So, what really happened? [1 opinions] (80 views) un-rated.

AOL's Broadband PlayNow that the real AOL has its name back, what is their plan? Jonathan Miller, Chairman and CEO of America Online, explains how consumer behavior is driving his broadband business model.
-- ADVERTISEMENT -- That’s what the Internet environment is all about. And obviously this is a business model. This is something that is taking off in the industry as the products get better and make on-demand fulfillment a reality. Related Links

Member Comments AOL simply doesn't get where broadband is concerned: no vision for transactional content...... [jch] | POSTED: 05.27.04 @12:47[color]On broadband service, get whatever is the cheapest for the equivalent speed. It is an utility like telephone. I never had a reason to get AOL and unless they buy out the local cable company, will not have a reason to buy their service in the future.[/color] Robbie Jena | POSTED: 09.29.03 @09:58 |How could Miller's essay possibly be more drab? Where's the description of AOL Broadband's sweeping vision of how the ubiquitous availability of broadband networks will connect more people and ideas together in a more rich-media ways than anyone ever thought possible? Where is his view of how that bandwidth will permeate our lives? (I, for one, can't wait to have Grandma babysit my kids in California -- from her condo in Florida -- via the broadband connection.) Yes... we all worry about family values and anti-virus software... but those are the basics, and we will find ways to solve those problems. But what then? What's AOL's picture of the future, and what ground-breaking ideas are they hatching that will lead consumers to make it a reality? Now... THAT would be an essay. Miller is an ass. He's always coming up with crap about family and what not. Its BS. AOL Braodband is simply not worth it. Their services a lame and so is their brand (whats left of it).... aolsucks | POSTED: 09.22.03 @08:36 |Print cost up to 50% less than home printing. laserbeam | POSTED: 09.20.03 @16:11 |The missing plank in AOL broadband strategy is digital imaging,its a growing multi billion industry,their current service is a kind of "time warp" to get one digital print's,considering the "now" market,the range of imaging IP in the service is basic,with the coming camera/phone boom thats about to sweep the would,2mpixel "megapixel" announced in Tokyo this week,tens of millions of people will be walking around with powerful image capture device's-that can print lab quality prints--- the next step is to provide a service that allow those customers to free the media instantly recharge their"electronic film",share images globally instantly,is this impossible? I have a few thoughts about AOL and broadband. AOL served my purposes for a long time then I switched to SBC Yahoo but only due to a need to consolidate existing accounts. Though I must admit AOL has come a long way to resolve issues that formally produced shortcomings with their service. Spam and pop ups are managed very well and the support has always been superb. As an example of the excellent support AOL and partners provide, you may read my blog entry earlier this year where I set up a wireless AOL broadband for my parents. Still, the support is excellent and they surf the net on a totally trouble-free basis. chucksez | POSTED: 09.20.03 @04:52 | |
