The latest development coming out of Om Malik’s group looks like a good one - a new blog focusing on IP Networking headed up by seasoned VoIP blogger Russell Shaw. IP Networked is going to cover the telecom carriers, cable companies, Internet service providers, Web hosting services, and the data centers — the infrastructure developments that matter so much in this industry. Russell is off and running with the blog, he’s posting this week from ISPCON in Santa Clara, with his usual frankness and insight.

I’ve been really impressed with what’s been happening over on GigaOm since Om ventured out on his own. They’re publishing an awful lot of timely scoops and deep analysis from a growing group of excellent writers. I’m definitely adding this one to my RSS reader.
