Nothing is as un-nerving (and sometimes even scary) as not knowing who’s been calling your house – or your spouse!

In Islamabad, Pakistan, we ran into Bilal Khalid Qanungoh at Salman Ansari’s office. His latest projects include Broadband over Power Lines, IP Telephony, and Virtual Phone Numbers in United Kingdom, Poland and Mexico. He just sold an MVNO openmobile, acquired by Tebess? Can’t hear. Bilal, are you reading? (He’s in my Facebook network.) NEXT BIG AREA: Mexico. He has relatives in Mexico that have inspired him to start a business that will help Mexican expats in the USA where they can give their family back home a local Mexico number that will ring the expat no matter where he or she is… on IM, PC softphone, or mobile SIP agent. He’ll be using DIDX for international (local) phone numbers. He’s working with 3V in Ireland for mobile banking solutions in Mexico. He believes that majority of people are more comfortable using their cell phone than a computer for life needs. Bilal wants more than just to offer mobile or telephony. Real applications that solve real problems… to start in this order: mobile banking, virtual phone numbers and broadband over power lines. Corrections I just received: Bilal does not have relatives in Mexico but is concerned about helping Mexican immigrants to the USA to stay in touch with their relatives in Mexico. As an entrepreneur he sees Mexico as an excellent potential market for telecom services. His UK MVNO was OPAL Mobile, www.opalmobile.co.uk which has been acquired by TOPAZ.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly taken seriously by businesses of all kinds – and that includes freight forwarders who are responsible for organising the International movement of goods by Road, Sea or Air. Over recent years there has been growing concerns about the environmental impact of freight transport.   The European Commission defines CSR as ‘the willing inclusion by businesses of social and environmental concerns in their commercial activities and their relations with stakeholders.’ So businesses that are aware of their CSR are likely to look to their freight company to try to minimise the environmental impact of their freight forwarding and international freight transport. The British International Freight Association (BIFA) has highlighted that some freight forwarding companies are now looking to ensure that the environmental impact of freight forwarding can be kept to a minimum. This includes helping to educate customers on ways help make freight transport more environmentally friendly. Many deep sea shipping companies operating from the Far East and Asia to Europe have recently agreed to cut the speed of their container services by 10% and some UK – Irish ferries will also be going slower, making the shipping company customers wait a little longer for their freight forwarding but reducing carbon emissions.Another area where freight forwarding companies are looking to reduce their impact on the environment is taking away for recycling the cardboard and other packaging used to protect goods during freight forwarding. Where new warehouses and depots are being built by shipping companies, there is now more interest in developing these on previously used brown field sites rather than green field locations. And at an infrastructure level, there is European government interest in further developing the role of both railways and inland waterways in freight transport, so as to reduce the impact on the environment as both of these modes of transport are considered to have a much lower carbon footprint than road particularly when the movement involves freight shipments that are heavy and or bulky.By responding to growing interest in protecting the environment, the international freight industry is also able to make savings that can be passed onto freight forwarding customers, for example the savings in fuel costs as a result of investing in the latest fuel efficient vehicles or aircraft. In an era of ever increasing fuel costs these savings can form a highly significant proportion of total freight transport costs.ICT has also made a difference to freight forwarders’ impact on the environment, with a lot of the documentation and freight transport updates now being made electronically rather than by using paper. So how far will shipping companies go as they look to become more sustainable in the future? Reducing the environmental impact of freight transport is a big challenge but one that the freight transport industry is rising to meet. In future, it is likely that the international freight industry will segment, as many other markets have already done, to include ‘green’ options for freight services, catering for the needs of those businesses that are demanding them.
