Vietnam Wants Internet Cafes To Monitor
Internet Usage 06/08/2004 06:31 PM
If there's one thing that's obviously available in bunches on the internet, it's "bad information." However the Vietnamese government has decided that "bad information" (which they seem to believe is anything they don't agree with, or anything that portrays them in a negative light - this post, for example, would probably qualify) is illegal and must be stopped online. They've now told local governments to start monitoring internet usage and have warned internet cafe owners they can be fined or jailed if any of their patrons uploads or downloads "bad information." To help track this sort of thing, they also want all internet cafe owners to "document what Web sites their clients visit and for how long." In other words, it's now prohibitively expensive to run an internet cafe in Vietnam. It's amazing that these sorts of regimes< /a> honestly believe that stopping such info, at the cost of killing off all of the benefits the internet provides, is actually worthwhile.

The Internet is Bigger than Cable

The Internet is Bigger than Cable 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

Quot ing Jeff Jarvis in full (because the information is that important to me:

The Internet is now bigger than cable, according to eMarketer (via Media Post and LostRemote).

...eMarketer now estimates U.S. household Internet penetration is about 67.9 percent. That compares with a 65.8 percent U.S. household penetration level for cable, according to an eMarketer analysis of Nielsen Media Research and U.S. Census data. More significantly, Ramsey noted that while cable TV penetration has essentially been flat at about 66 percent of U.S. households, online penetration continues to expand.... “Wow,” said Jes Santoro, vice president-director of integrated media at Earthquake Media, a media shop that buys traditional and online media, upon learning of the online penetration milestone from MediaDailyNews. “I think it is very significant. But it’s symbolic as well.” “It’s symbolic because it speaks to people’s media consumption habits,” he explained. “Think about cable, you kind of have to have it to have it to get TV reception. It’s almost like a utility. But with the Internet, people go out and get it because they want to use the Internet.” eMarketer’s Ramsey agreed, noting that it was similar household penetration milestones that first got cable TV on the map with Madison Avenue during various junctures in cable’s history.

Oh, but that's not the half of it. They're only counting homes and every single Internet business I know (even Nick Denton's work-unsafe Fleshbot) sees its prime time at midday, during work, where almost anyone sitting at a desk now has high-speed Internet access.

So the penetration is higher than the numbers above indicate. And the usage is higher.

Internet will get greater mindshare and greater share of the audience's attention because cable and TV and radio can't reach them at work, but the Internet can.

Let's repeat that again: The Internet is bigger than cable TV. And so the Internet should be getting a much bigger share of advertising dollars.

Alas, though... 'the internet' is too fragmented to aggregate for media buyers the way cable is aggregated in most markets... Even with cable there are only 300 channels or so for advertisers to split their dollars amongst...
