Changes for Jajah and Telefonica Europe

JajahThere are some changes at the top of Telefónica Europe and its IP phone service Jajah.

Trevor Healy, currently CEO of Jajah, is stepping up to become Chairman of Jajah and will also have a new role as Chief Innovation Officer for Telefónica Europe.  Meanwhile Steve Alder, who’s General Manager of UK and Group Devices for Telefónica Europe, will become the new CEO of Jajah. He’ll be in the role from 1st March and will be moving to the San Francisco Area.

Matthew Key, Chairman and CEO of Telefónica Europe, said “The acquisition of Jajah has already enhanced the scope of our communications offering and opened up new capabilities in the voice communication space.  We want to enable customer interactions, whether on Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft or Facebook.  Broadening communications’ experiences is one of our core objectives. The appointment of a CIO for Telefónica Europe is a critical step in seizing the many opportunities afforded by today’s Digital Revolution and I am delighted that Trevor has accepted this challenge.  Trevor is a highly successful entrepreneur possessing a wealth of experience, having played key roles at Jajah, PayPal and VeriSign.  He has also started and been a board member of a number of very successful Silicon Valley companies in the mobile space.”

Telefonica bought the Jajah business at the end of 2009.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
