Apple and Real conflict over music
downloads and players 08/07/2004 11:52 AM

Apple and Real Networks are feuding over access to Apple's popular iPod music player. Real released Harmony , an application which allows users to play music downloaded from Real's online music store in, among other players, the iPod. The iPod is designed to play music downloaded from iTunes , its popular online music store , and especially those encoded with Apple's Advanced Audio Codec ( AAC ) standard. Apple attacked the move, and threatened a programming reaction:

"We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker Latest News about hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the DMCA [Digital Millenium Copyright Act] and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time, it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods."

Real, whose CEO had asked Apple to open the iPod to other file formats earlier this year , reiterated its request.

Heavy-Hitters Join Pro-Municipal
Broadband Legislative Battle 06/24/2005 10:01 PM
Dell, Intel, Texas Instruments, and others want more broadband to sell more gear to consumers: They've increasingly gotten involved in the ongoing debate over whether incumbent monopolies and duopolies deserve right of first refusal for broadband deployment in their service areas over municipalities because of incumbents' investments, municipalities' tax-free and bond-raising abilities, and the role of government in competing with private enterprise. The Wall Street Journal walks through the issue, starting with a small town in Texas that's building broadband because SBC can't or won't. The Texas legislature was considering a telecom "reform" bill--a bill which removed many public service and oversight controls on telcos--that would also have banned municipalities from participating in broadband. The original bill was so broad it would have banned virtually all private-public partnerships that the FCC and the Bush Administration have stressed for extending broadband into the furthest reaches of the country. The backlash is now coming since Texas's bill hit defeat for a variety of reasons, partly including Dell's founder picking up the phone and calling legislators. You see, computer makers would enjoy selling more equipment and one way to do that is broadband. (Homes with broadband connections tend to buy newer equipment and more computers, among other reasons.) Pete Sessions (R-Texas) has introduced a bill at the national level to pre-empt local legislation (there's that anti-federalism again) governing municipal operation of broadband. Sessions is the representative from SBC: a former employee with huge stock and stock options held directly (not in trust) with a spouse who currently works there. His chief of staff told the Wall Street Journal that "the congressman's ties to SBC do not present a conflict of interest." Except in that he has millions of dollars at stake over SBC's continued performance in the market....
