It has happened many times over the last couple years:  a friend or colleague who has previously been totally inactive on LinkedIn suddenly starts connecting and posting and generally making up for lost time.  Many times this indicates a change of employment is imminent or has recently passed.

I've not read of this phenomenon elsewhere, though I won't be surprised if someone else has already identified it.  Until prior art is revealed, I'll call it Lundberg's Law of LinkedIn Laziness.  With Luck it might enter the vernacular.

What it says to the rest of us is this: don't lazily ignore your network and wait until you need it to feed it.  Connecting with colleagues, coworkers and acquaintances should part of your daily routine. Chat up old colleagues, reconnect with past associates, check in occasionally with industry groups.  Stay active.  Stay visible.  Stay relevant.

If you are continually active, you'll have a much healthier network at at time when that will be important to you, and you won't implicitly advertise that you've had a sudden career change thrust upon you.

If you ignore your professional network, it won't serve you well when you most need it.

David Phillips of Kordia Thailand called our attention to this article in the Bangkok Post which advocates the optimistic view that now that the 4 new members of Thailand's National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) had been royally endorsed 3G services should expect to be launched before the end if the year.

Over at TeleGeography Comms Update they report that CAT will begin selling the Novatel Wireless MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot device for subscribers on their Rev. Ev-DO network. I wish them the best of luck with it. In our own Rev A network we've seen utilization skyrocket with devices such as this. Granted, our business model is "flat-rate, all you can eat", meaning our subscribers pay one monthly amount and can then use as much data as they want.
