Earthlink to Offer Broadband Wireless in
Calif. 05/20/2004 11:29 AM
Earthlink will offer Internet access to customers in Northern California through a deal with Digitalpath Networks, a wireless ISP: Digitalpath uses a proprietary system to deliver the access. It had better be a pretty cheap proprietary system because it requires technicians to install antennas on customer homes. The cost of such installs is commonly blamed for the failure of the MMDS market in the '90s. Since then, many wireless ISPs in non-rural areas have targeted the more lucrative business market because of the expense of building and installing network equipment. Earthlink has been one of the most bullish big players to pursue broadband wireless opportunities. It has made similar wireless offerings in the Atlanta area through partners. On a side note, shame on Cnet for this line: "Wireless broadband, commonly called WiMax." Come on folks, not all wireless broadband is WiMax and in fact, WiMax gear doesn't exist. It sounds like Digitalpath is using a technology that is nothing like WiMax....

Should Broadband Providers Offer
Content?

Should Broadband Providers Offer
Content? 04/19/2004 12:26 PM
Apparently, the talk of a recent broadband conference was on how broadband providers needed to focus on charging for "premium" content to expand their business, which seems to miss the point (once again) of broadband services. The content that draws people is already out there, and bundling it with an internet connection only serves to add one more mouth to feed out of a small pie - and doesn't help anyone make much money. When broadband providers look at providing content, they immediately fall back into the "broadcast" mindset, where users are passive consumers of content that is pushed to them. That's not what people use the internet for. They use it for interactive services (such as email, web surfing, VoIP and file sharing), where they get to choose the content and what they do with it. At the conference, they even had people saying that SBC's latest deal with CinemaNow (to offer downloadable movies) was a huge step forward. This is the same CinemaNow that hasn't received much traction at all and has been reviewed (repeatedly) as being a terrible waste of money. The article quotes CinemaNow's competitor MovieLink as putting the blame for their failures on the broadband providers. They claim that the two movie services "offer up plenty of content," even though reviewers of the service have complained about their "pathetically thin selection." Ignoring that, however, the quote from MovieLink's CEO pins the blame on broadband providers for not making it easier for users to move movies from their PC to their television using wireless connectivity. Of course, both MovieLink and CinemaNow use heavy-handed copy protection that probably has a lot more to do with the difficulty than the broadband service providers and their support of WiFi. Instead of focusing on ways to turn broadband connections into another TV (we already have those), they should be focused on the services (not content) that people want.

US senators offer bill to protect
municipal broadband

US senators offer bill to protect
municipal broadband 06/24/2005 06:54 PM

WASHINGTON - Two U.S. senators have jumped into a growing debate about whether cities should be allowed to create tax-funded broadband services, with the two introducing a bill that would prevent states from outlawing municipal broadband projects.

Fourteen U.S. states have passed laws limiting municipal broadband services, with large Internet providers lobbying against city-offered services.

The Community Broadband Act of 2005, introduced Thursday by Senators John McCain, an Arizona Republican, and Frank Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat, would prevent states from outlawing municipal broadband service while requiring cities to regulate their own broadband services the same as they regulate competitors. For example, a municipal broadband service would have to pay the same franchise fees as other providers.

Several cities, including Philadelphia, have explored offering municipal broadband, typically using Wi-Fi technology, in recent months. Late last year, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed legislation preventing further municipal broadband projects, but along with the bill came an agreement between the city of Philadelphia and Verizon Communicatons Inc. over a city-run Wi-Fi network.

The Community Broadband Act is needed to meet President George Bush's goal of universally available broadband in the U.S. by 2007, McCain said in a speech Thursday. McCain noted that the U.S. ranks 16th among nations in broadband penetration.

"This is unacceptable for a country that should lead the world in technical innovation, economic development and international competitiveness," McCain said. "As a country, we cannot afford to cut off any successful strategy if we want to remain internationally competitive."

Private investment in the Internet should be protected and continued, he added. "However, when private industry does not answer the call because of market failures or other obstacles, it is appropriate and even commendable, for the people acting through their local governments to improve their lives by investing in their own future," McCain said. "In many rural towns, the local government?s high speed Internet offering may be its citizens only option to access the World Wide Web."

Verizon and SBC Communications Inc., which both offer DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services, have opposed municipal broadband, as has Time Warner Cable, saying tax-funded services should not be allowed to compete against existing commercial services. A spokesman for Verizon said Friday the company had not reviewed the McCain/Lautenberg bill and had no comment on it. An SBC spokesman didn't immediately respond to a request for comments.

The two telecom giants, however, helped fund a study released in February that said municipal Wi-Fi networks could have "grave flaws."

The New Millennium Research Council study suggested municipal broadband services could dedicate tax dollars to rapidly outdated technology. The study also noted that municipal broadband networks could be expensive to maintain. "Municipal Wi-Fi networks present a number of serious problems that are being overlooked as cities rush into committing millions in taxpayer dollars to pay for network development and expansion," the study said.

The McCain/Lautenberg legislation stands in contrast to a bill introduced in May by Representative Pete Sessions, a Texas Republican and former SBC employee. The Sessions bill, the Preserving Innovation in Telecom Act of 2005, would outlaw municipal broadband services in areas where competing commercial services exist. The bill has been referred to a House subcommittee.

Sessions introduced the bill to ?discourage local governments from wasting taxpayer funds on building duplicative infrastructure while at the same time encouraging private-sector companies to offer continually innovating service in underserved areas by removing the specter of government competition" he said in a statement when the bill was introduced.

On Thursday, 40 groups representing local governments, the IT industry and consumers sent a letter to members of Congress asking lawmakers to support pro-municipal broadband legislation. Among the groups signing the letter were the League of California Cities, Public Knowledge, the Rural Broadband Coalition, Consumers Union and the Fiber to the Home Council.

McCaw Launches Clearwire

McCaw Launches Clearwire 06/02/2004 12:51 AM
The Wall Street Journal reports Craig McCaw to launch nationwide wireless Internet service on Wednesday: As Steve Stroh reported a month ago, McCaw's Clearwire will be an alternative to cell-based data networks and fixed-location or even citywide Wi-Fi offer 1.5 to 2 megabits per second. This is clearly downstream speed; upstream isn't noted. Service will launch this summer in two cities and expand to 20 within a year, the report says. The service is described as portable, but not mobile, which is a key distinction: portable means it can be used easily in many places; mobile means it can be used while in motion (walking or driving often having a distinct difference). Cellular services are mobile and portable. Wi-Fi is typically neither except in newer cases of hotzones or citywide Wi-Fi in which its certainly portable, and may also be mobile at the right speeds and in the right locations. According to Stroh's research in April and May, Clearwire will use technology from NextNet, a company acquired by McCaw. The Journal and Stroh both note that this is interim technology that will ultimately transition to WiMax equipment, although Nancy Gohring has reported that U.S.-capable WiMax gear may not be available until as late as 2006....

A year later in Falluja, cameras were there again, capturing the scene shortly after his tank was hit by an RPG near Fallujah. Staff Sgt. Popaditch lost his right eye as a result of his injuries. Meanwhile, Al-Firdaws Square was being closed to the Iraqi public, after posters of Muqtada Al-Sadr were plastered on the statue which replaced that of Saddam Hussein.

Nick Berg Tops Searches, but Why? 05/14/2004 12:20 PM

Glenn Reynolds notes that searches relating to Nick Berg top the charts at the major search engines, and attributes this to the public cares more about this murder from a news perspective than about U.S. actions in Iraq. Maybe, but maybe not. What if the big number of searches reflect something uglier than people seeking "news" or information. What if this is about a more raw desire, to see the butchery in full just because it's there? The mainstream U.S. media declined to broadcast the actual beheading, and properly so, in my view. But anyone who wants to see it can find it online. I'm one of the people who did the search. I wanted to see how far and wide the video of this man's grotesque death had spread. I learned, to my sadness, that it's incredibly easy to find. This is already a blood-soaked culture, where Hollywood routinely sells movies full of realistic, made-up gore. Maybe we've created a climate where the only thrill that can top movie violence is a genuine snuff film, like the one those foul criminals in Iraq sent out to the world. How many of those searches were done by people who, rather than wanting more truth, more information, were just hunting for the sick thrill of watching death for real?
