O2 unveils small biz landline to mobile link

If they could keep their existing network up they might get more uptake

I'm roaming with o2 at the moment, and apparently there is a network issue preventing roaming since last night, great, stuck in the middle of nowhere and I cant even call my family, thanks o2....

Freelancers might be taxed as employees after High Court ruling

Does that mean that the AA have to pay his employers NIC?

Just one thing, since he was deemed to be employed by the AA does this mean that the AA are now liable for the benefits that they give other employees and also do they now have to pay his employers NIC? Since obviously they would if he were PAYE?

Otherwise does he claim back the employers NIC that he has already paid to HMG? Surely if you are deemed an employee you should get the paid holidays and other benefits?????

SOA - dead or alive?

SOA Hard?

The main problem with SOA is the old EAI tool vendors re-badging their solutions as SOA enablers.

Having been working with SOA technologies for the last 5 years I get fed up with hearing about these EAI solution vendors muddying the waters.

I think businesses embarking on a SOA plan need to be able to break the project down into small bite-size chunks and follow a more agile methodology to try and demonstrate benefit and hence sell it to the business.
