Competition between the telecoms industry’s cable and fixed line, mobile network operators and mobile virtual network operators has never been greater. While there is ever more choice on availability of devices and network band combined with tariff structures for every conceivable need, such differences between suppliers are soon dissipated. Telecoms companies are, more than ever before, in need of finding new ways of differentiating their respective offerings.

The latest strategy being pursued to meet the challenge of the commoditisation of mobile services is that of driving customer experience as a point of difference.

So can other IaaS providers compete on price when Amazon (AMZN), Google Cloud (GOOG) and Microsoft Azure (MSFT) are on a constant pricing downslide?

CenturyLink (CTL), which has competed in the market largely through its previously named Savvis brand, thinks it can. Whereas others in the space, such as Rackspace (RAX), have chosen not to play the neverending game of cloud pricing limbo (how low can you go?), CenturyLink is poised to follow suit and fight the incumbents on what has become a common battleground—the almighty dollar…

WordPress is a popular CMS written in PHP that powers websites around the world. The factory settings for WordPress provide a blogging site aimed at individuals. With some work, WordPress can be configured for many uses, from intranet to e-commerce. It’s meant for B2C transactions — that is, websites used by people. WordPress is not used for B2B web service work like behind-the-scenes information exchange.

WordPress isn’t enterprise-friendly out of the box. It requires plenty of architecture work, adding plug-in extensions and theme work to match it to business needs. WordPress isn’t the most developer-friendly either, although how a developer defines "friendly" has more in common with religious belief than with social comparison. Should WordPress be taken seriously for use in the enterprise? How well does it work in an enterprise cloud computing environment?…
