[I've been asked often, during the past two years, what's next on the video coding front. Some people are asking about H.265, the natural heir of the current king H.264; others are just wondering where we're going. To be honest, even for a video coding guy keeping up with the latest trends and turns in the video coding world is a complicated task. But the "next generation" of video coding is a very interesting topic, not to mention very relevant

Tsahi recently wrote a guest post over at NoJitter (RESPECT!) talking about Net Neutrality and the “One Internet”. Tsahi was talking about the Internet and Internet services in general, and I want to talk about Video Conferencing. Here’s what Tsahi wrote: There are two areas where net neutrality falls apart and causes real problems for users: Access to the Internet. Services over the Internet.

Tsahi, chief editor for the RADVISION blogs, is always asking us for “useful posts”. A “useful post”, according to Tsahi, is a post that you will bookmark and return to, that will serve as a guide, and that will remains relevant. I hope I’ve already written one or two useful posts by now, but just in case you are looking for more, here are a couple which were not written by me, but go along very well with what I

This blog is usually all about innovation, revolution and the future, but there’s one thing that stuck with me and hasn’t changed since the days I was a kid: Books. One may wonder if in this time and age books are still relevant, and I must admit that I am a sucker for them.
