The Ups And Downs Of File SharingThe Ups And Downs Of File Sharing 04/26/2004 11:53 AM The latest Pew study says that 14% of American internet users claim they've stopped downloading music, but that the number of people downloading has been steadily growing again over the last few months. The study has a few problems, however. First, it's all based on asking people about their activities, and considering the publicity campaign, it's easy to imagine a heavy file sharer saying they don't download any music because they don't want to risk opening themselves up to a lawsuit. Furthermore, the study does not appear to distinguish between what kind of music is being "downloaded." They seem to lump together downloading unauthorized files, using paid download stores like iTunes, or even legitimate downloads directly from a musician's own website. The Ups And Downs Of Municipal BroadbandThe Ups And Downs Of Municipal Broadband 04/14/2004 11:51 AM Following last month's Supreme Court ruling stating that state s could outlaw municipal broadband, ZDNet has an interesting interview with Jim Ballmer, one of the lawyers fighting to let municipalities offer broadband, should they want to. Meanwhile, the very large UTOPIA municipal broadband (offering fiber to the home) project in Utah was dealt a huge setback last night when Salt Lake City decided not to support the project, after a fairly intense fight over the issue. Qwest is rejoicing, as they've been complaining about UTOPIA ever since it was first conceived. However, the folks behind UTOPIA are clearing trying to push ahead, and hope that they'll be signing up a few other cities to help out soon. The big questions now are whether or not the other cities involved are willing to foot the larger part of the bill and whether or not they'll be able to find enough subscribers to make AT&T still be interested in being a service provider on the network. Once again, we return to the example of Burlington, Vermont, where a municipal fiber connection with ownership by its own users means much more opportunity for everyone except companies who previously had the local monopoly on providing (much slower) broadband access. A municipal solution that allows companies to sign on as providers builds on the idea of a natural monopoly while still allowing true competitive market pressures to provide people with better services.
