Telcos and cities struggling for
wireless deployment control 06/05/2005 11:48 PM

In a growing number of American states , city governments and telephone companies are struggling over policies determining who gets to rollout city-wide wireless internet connectivity. Telcos argue that cities offer unfair competition to their businesses.

Twenty states have already passed, or are trying to push through, legislation that would impose heavy restrictions on communities creating their own networks in areas already served by Bells and cable companies.
Thirteen of those states--Arkansas, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington--have passed bills restricting future public broadband projects, though existing initiatives are allowed to operate. The remaining eight have measures pending or have seen their bills fail to reach a vote.

AP - Pope John Paul II inspired American Catholics with his globe-trotting, charismatic leadership, perseverance in the face of debilitating illness, and deep spirituality.

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas

Spammers Struggling, Moving Overseas 12/15/2003 02:27 AM
Yet another in a long line of "spammer profiles." This one focuses on two grandparents who spam for a living - but claim that times are tough for spammers, and they may have to declare bankruptcy. I'm sure we all pity them and the "free speech rights" go on and on about. The article does a good job pointing out how spammers are quite different than direct mail companies - no matter what the spammers claim. It also points out, however, that spammers are all setting up shop overseas, where it will be even more difficult to track them down once the US law legalizing most spam goes into effect. I'm still wondering why no one is demanding that, if we must pass such a terrible law, why don't we have some clear review point, six months from the law going into effect that will show how much more spam is being received? If it shown (as most of us suspect) that the law does nothing to stop spam (and may even help increase it), then shouldn't a Plan B be lined up?

Why India is struggling with localized
language computing 08/17/2004 07:53 AM
While IT is improving the quality of life in many developed nations, the use of technology is still out of reach for people in many other countries. Nowhere is this digital divide as big or visible than in India. Apart from access to a computer, unfamiliarity with the English language is one of the biggest factors contributing to this problem. In countries like India, where the majority of the population is English-illiterate, computing has to speak a language the locals understand. This is where user-interface localization steps in.

Email Marketers Struggling With Can
Spam, Spammers Doing Just Fine 06/01/2004 10:55 AM
It's been quite clear for some time that many spammers have absolutely no intention of paying attention to any spam-related laws, such as CAN-SPAM. However, for (more) legitimate email marketers, the new regulations are already quite a hassle - with many of them failing to follow the requirements, putting them at risk of getting sued. This is a bit amusing, considering it was these so-called "legitimate marketers" who were so adamant about having CAN-SPAM passed in a way that would let them "legitimately" spam more easily. Now, what they're realizing is that they've added more trouble for themselves without doing much of anything to actually stop the spam that drowns out their own messages.
