05/09/2004 06:39 PMJust compare Apple's iTunes with Sony's Connect: One of these stores

to nothing more complex than each company's willingness to learn from
experience and listen to customers. By Rob Pegoraro, Washington Post

ience-fair-projects.com/Today your teacher announced
that your school is going to have a science fair and students are
responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel?
Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement
opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student
or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students
actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem
solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of
the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job
of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement
a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing
the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project,
rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the
fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a
science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math,

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful
thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little
manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep
Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he
started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating
the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad
links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because
clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

Pricing and Architecture of the Internet
01/03/2004 09:29 AMPricing and Architecture of the Internet: Historical
Perspectives from Telecommunications and Transportationht
tp://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/pricing.architecture.pdfWith telecommunications in a slump, the search is on for
ways to re-invigorate this key industry. The main problems are
clearly economic much more than technological, and many of the
proposed remedies would lead to new architectures for the Internet
that would provide for greater control by carriers. They would
drastically reduce the role of the end-to-end principle, the main
foundation for the success of the Internet, in which functionality
resides at the edges of the network. The proposals to restrict voice
over Internet (VoIP) are just one part of this trend.
Historical precedents from telecommunications for introduction of
differentiated services and sophisticated charging methods on the
Internet are discouraging. The almost universal trend has been
towards decreasing price discrimination and simpler pricing. The
history of transportation presents a different picture, with
frequent
movements towards increasing price discrimination and
more complicated pricing (although with many noteworthy reversals).
Charging according to the nature of the goods being transported has
been and continues to be the norm. Since the incentives to price
discriminate are increasing, and the ability to do so is also growing,
it is conceivable that telecommunications might break with its
historical record and follow the example of transportation. It is
therefore of interest to examine the evolution of pricing and quality
differentiation in transportation.
Broadband Pricing Across The World?
Broadband Pricing Across The World?
01/10/2004 05:37 PMPricing software by means
Pricing software by means
01/09/2004 09:51 PMAmong the many responses to my post on
piracy was one which suggested I price my software by country.
The general idea is that it's unfair that someone in the United States
is charged the same price as someone in, say, Russia, where economic
conditions are much harsher.
I have to say that I agree with this sentiment. Russia isn't such
a warez capital because it's a dishonest country - it's a country with
many skilled people thrown into chaotic times. In order for some of
them to maintain these skills, they may need to stay up-to-date with
the latest software. But in order to be ethical, they need to shell
out a week's pay to register one measly program.
I've actually talked with other shareware authors about this in the
past, and a number of them shared my belief that charging a lower
price in certain countries would be a better way to do business.
Several of us discussed ways to handle this, but in the end it was
decided that it would be so hard to manage that it wouldn't be
feasible. Verifying the country of origin and weeding out fraud would
simply require too much time. There are ways to automate this, of
course, but most of us need to rely on third-party ordering services
so we don't have much control over the purchasing process - so it
would be up to us to handle the extra work.
Most shareware companies are one-person outfits such as my own, and
we all find it difficult to balance the many demands of running our
businesses. We tend to shy away from anything that's time-consuming
simply because we often have no time left at the end of the day. In
my case, I'm not going to implement something if it means I have less
time to spend with my kids.
One possible solution is to skip charging by country and instead
ask each customer to pay what s/he believes the software is worth. A
minimum price would be required to make sure the order processing fees
are covered, but the final price would be determined by the customer.
This sidesteps the need for any verification, and could
potentially even increase earnings since I'd get orders from
those who previously couldn't afford our software.
On the surface I really like this idea, but the more you
think about it the more it seems just as problematic. First there's
the fear factor: I rely on software sales to feed my family, so I'm
scared to try such a thing. But even if I ignore this (not to mention
the issues involving third-party ordering services), there are still a
boatload of issues involving corporate sales, etc., that would eat
away at my time.
I'd like to hear other thoughts on this so I've enabled comments
for this post. However, I'm going to disable them once the comment
spammers hit, so if you have your own blog you'd be better off posting
there and sending a trackback ping.
BTW, I should add that my posting about this does NOT mean that I'm
about to implement such a system, since the ordering services for both
TopStyle and FeedDemon are already in place. I'm simply thinking out
loud about how such a system might work in case I want to try it with
future software.
Problems With Broadband Pricing
Problems With Broadband Pricing
01/08/2004 08:42 PMInteresting article at PC Magazine taking on the issue of
broadband price gauging. He points out that, unlike
with dialup, you generally only have a very few choices for high speed
internet access to your home. The providers (usually cable or
telephone companies) are doing everything they can to prop up prices -
even though, like most digital things, the price should start to drop
after a certain point. On top of that, MSN and AOL are trying to get
people to pay more money for additional services that really aren't
necessary - but many consumers think they
need AOL or MSN on
top of their cable/DSL connection in order to reach the internet. The
writer agrees that, for some people, some of the services offered by
AOL or MSN might be useful, but not on top of the always rising price
of a high speed internet connection. He's hoping that more
competition comes to the broadband world and forces down prices. Some
of that seems to be happening already, as DSL providers have been
dropping their prices to compete with cable - but it remains to be
seen if there's really enough competition in the marketplace.

06/18/2004 03:18 AMSix Apart has announced new pricing for MT version 3.0 and I am
quite happy with their decision. Having put my money where my mouth is
I had already purchased an upgrade. I strongly believe that Six Apart
has a long term vision for the product and having programmers on the
payroll who are focused and have a team vision.
The Wordpress vultures are still on the prowl commenting on almost
all articles about the MT licensing issues. With Six Apart set to fast
track improvements to MT it will only be a mater of a few months
before the product overtakes and leaves in the dust the remaining
competition. [Six

Informatica is the first of Sun's independent software vendors (ISVs)
to do this, others are expected to follow the same pricing structure.

$2,000-$3,000: Here's a look into the economics of spam

One indication of the going rate for zombie PCs comes from
a June 11 posting on SpecialHam.com, an electronic forum for spammers.
The asking price for use of a network of 20,000 zombie PCs: $2,000 to
$3,000. Such networks typically are used to broadcast spam and
phishing scams and to spread e-mail viruses designed mainly to create
yet more zombies.

Wi-Fi Pricing Droping in U.K.--Debatable
11/13/2003 01:34 PM This article points only to anecdotal evidence from a journalist to
claim that the price of using public hot spots in the U.K. is
dropping: In any developing market, service providers walk a tight
rope between charging enough to cover their startup costs and failing
to attract customers because of sky high prices. At the moment, the
price of a subscription for Wi-Fi services is too high for most except
the serious traveler, especially because there aren't yet enough hot
spots. Hopefully a greater number of hot spots will attract more
customers, which will in turn lead to lower prices. Maybe that's
already starting to happen in the U.K. Interestingly, this intrepid
traveler rants about how insanely high the cost of Wi-Fi is in Europe.
He visited nine cities in the U.S. and had Wi-Fi access in eight. Just
one of those charged a mere $9 a day for access. He then stayed in
seven hotels in Europe and one offered Wi-Fi, for $60 a day and it
never worked. Two of the hotels in Europe didn't have phones so no
Internet connection was available from the room. To be fair, this
traveler doesn't mention which cities he stayed in so maybe he was
pretty far off the beaten path. Still, I've stayed in decent hotels in
Europe that have these ancient phone systems through which you can't
even dial up. By contrast, just last week I took a road trip from
Seattle to northern California and even cheap hotels in tiny towns at
least had dial up while some had broadband wired access. Since the
wired access in European hotels is generally poor, hotel managers
there might see a great opportunity in Wi-Fi. Wireless networks will
be much easier for them to deploy in a building that isn’t already
wired....
