After a warm summer weekend, our office neighborhood is often littered with electric scooters, abandoned by their casual users. Some are out of battery, some broken. When our harbor sea water is clear, one can spot a few on the bottom too. Scooter rental companies painstakingly collect and recharge these fleeting assets, but often the […]
Time and again I see people making quick negative noise about products with newly introduced digital features. Whether it’s a connected farm tractor, car tyre or a Bluetooth tooth brush with an app, the easiest scoop is to scold the vendor for collecting data for mischievous purposes or somehow forcing the customer to pay more.

In early 1995, I was testing Ahlström’s first prototype teleconferencing system, which was implemented on a 64kbit/s ‘half-line’ between Helsinki and San Diego, through Atlanta, using dedicated hardware to emulate a private ISDN network over Frame Relay.

The last few days have seen unprecedented use of political power by cloud conglomerates like Amazon, Apple, Facebook and others. Digitalization accelerates with such speeds that most governments are hopelessly late (or powerless) in their regulation of equal access and commercial rules. The most shocking decision comes from Jeff Bezos of Amazon, the company terminated […]
