WiFi apples and oranges

WiFi apples and oranges 03/22/2005 03:33 PM

The Economist has an article (subscribers only) quoting me about municipal WiFi networks, like the one Philadelphia is proposing. Local phone and cable companies have been fighting these proposals, even pushing legislation banning cities from deploying broadband connecting for their residents.

The point I make in the piece is that a city-wide WiFi cloud in an urban area is not identical to the wired broadband networks companies like Verizon and Comcast are deploying. In other words, free or cheap WiFi municipal access doesn't automatically kill the private broadband market, because these municipal systems don't provide the same throughput, reliability, or indoor coverage. They help at the margins, for areas that are under-served by the existing broadband options or where those options are too expensive. And they expand the scope of broadband access beyond the home, by covering outdoor areas and public places. They just aren't equivalent to what the private sector is building, and shouldn't be precluded on that assumption.

In case it's not clear from the piece, I'm well aware that nothing about WiFi technically prevents it from being used as a broadband access technology, across large distances. Hundreds of wireless ISPs, mostly in rural areas, use it to provide connectivity where cable modems and DSL aren't available. In a city, though, the environment is different. WiFi can be a piece of the broadband puzzle there too, which is why municipalities are getting involved. I think that's a great thing. However, we should be clear on exactly what capabilities those systems provide.

Here, by the way, is the fourth footnote from How to Deal With North Korea :

Had the Agreed Framework not been signed in 1994, the North's plutonium-based program would by today have produced enough plutonium for up to 30 nuclear weapons. Critics of the accord should not ignore this fact.

Canada May Ban Drug Imports Into The US

Canada May Ban Drug Imports Into The US 01/06/2005 05:24 PM
Apparently, Canada is think ing about banning the sale of drugs into the US by mail order. The US administration has already been trying to stop the import of such drugs, for a variety of reasons (and some of them appear to depend on your political leanings) -- though plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle have been pushing to allow such cross border drug imports, as it's very popular with constituents. This new plan would make it much more difficult, if not impossible, for US prescriptions to be sent across the border, unless the patient travels over the border with the prescription. Even in that case, certain drugs won't be allowed to cross the border back into the US. Of course, from a political standpoint, this is one very hot potato. No one wants to be accused of making drugs more expensive, and some are suggesting that pressure from the US is pushing Canada to make these changes, so that it can't be pinned specifically on a US politician.

Gmail Imports Contacts

“The Gmail team recently released an Import Contacts feature that enables users to quickly transfer contact information to Gmail from an existing mail service whether it’s MSFT Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Orkut, and others. First, a user must save their existing contact information as a CSV file in a place on their hard drive where they can easily find it. By clicking through to the Contacts > Import Contacts links at the top right of the Gmail interface, users are then given the option to import/upload their contacts CSV file into Gmail. And voila! When contacts are imported, Gmail automatically fills-in addresses as a user types recipient names into the address field. That’s it for now, please try Import Contacts for yourself and let me know if you have any questions or need more information.”
