More Writers Offering Books For Free
Online 04/29/2004 02:42 PM
It appears that it's not only musicians recognizing the power of free publicity from putting their content for free online. While this article ignores the success of more recent authors to release books online (Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig, etc...) in conjunction with their hardcopy release (as well as a number of authors now experimenting with releasing chapters of their books in progress), it appears that a more mainstream novelist, Matthew Reilly, is now releasing his latest novel online for free. He's releasing it in sections, rather than as a single download, but his theory is that it will help get him a bigger audience from readers who previously didn't know about him, or who were unlikely to find his books in bookstores. He hopes that it will encourage people to go out and buy his other books (this is his sixth book, and some of his earlier novels were apparently "best sellers"). Also, his publishing company will publish a hardcopy of this book later this year, after it's already completely free online. Apparently, the idea was entirely his, but his publishing company thinks it's a great idea - though, it may have helped that Reilly sold them the publishing rights for a $1 to get rid of the risk. It doesn't seem like my usual reading material, but if you're interested in what he describes as a "Tom Clancy-Michael Crichton" hybrid, you can download the first two sections of his book at the Hover Car Racer website.

Microsoft offering free OS for 'cold'
servers 06/04/2004 10:38 AM
In what could be a sign of things to come, Microsoft Corp. is offering a small sweetener to its Software Assurance licensing program. From this week the company will allow servers used for disaster recovery to carry copies of its Windows server software at no extra cost. A key condition is that the server must be used only for disaster recovery. Microsoft defines such servers as "cold servers", i.e. ones turned off until a disaster arises. The "cold server" provision will be applicable for the remaining term of any two- or three-year Software Assurance contract and is not perpetual.

Nextel Moving Forward With Wireless
Broadband Offering

Nextel Moving Forward With Wireless
Broadband Offering 04/14/2004 01:05 PM
Back in February, Nextel made quite a splash with their surprise announcement that they were offering wireless broadband trials in North Carolina based on Flarion's technology. While Nextel has apparently been looking at a variety of wireless broadband technologies, it appears that they've been happy with the North Carolina Flarion trials so far. They've expanded the coverage area and are now going to accept paying customers to the service, which offers DSL-like speeds. They say it will average 1.5 Mbps down stream and 375 kbps upstream - with burst rates at double that. The cost of the plans will vary between $35 and $75 depending on speeds and other features (such as email accounts and storage). Clearly, this is something of a vote for Flarion's technology, and it will be interesting to see if Nextel continues to expand this offering (which sounds like it would be quite competitive with Verizon Wireless's EV-DO offering) and whether or not they publicly trial other technologies as well. Of course, launching in one location and launching nationwide are two very different beasts, but Nextel has shown that they've got quite a lot of marketing muscle - and are especially good at segmenting and targeting specific markets.

Saunalahti is offering a free weblog to all its GSM subscribers. You can update your weblog using MMS messages, Nokia Lifeblog or internet.

SaunaBlog. I like that name.

However, they seem to have lifted the entire description of what a blog is directly from Wikipedia without attribution, which, as far as I can tell, is a GNU FDL violation. Wikipedia.fi has more.

Also, looking at a sample blog, it seems that they are claiming copyright on anything that anyone writes on their own blog, and apparently they're not making you even agree on a license before you use the service. This is simply wrong - you simply cannot assert copyright on something that you don't own. If you write a blog, you own its content - regardless of who hosts it.

Saunalahti seems to be pretty lax about copyright issues. This will bite them in the ankle, I'm sure.

RoamAD and Reach fire up city wi-fi

15.04.2004 By PETER GRIFFIN

RoamAD has resurrected plans for a wireless internet network in Auckland's inner city, but this time it will supply only the technology, leaving the service to be run by growing "wi-fi" operator Reach Wireless.

RoamAD has also received a US$100,000 ($155,000) loan from Silicon Valley-based chip maker Intel, a small amount given the multi-billion-dollar investment arsenal of Intel Capital, but an endorsement of RoamAD's technology nevertheless.

Reach Wireless, which is backed by telecoms entrepreneur Chris Jones, will offer wireless internet access in a 3km-square section of the inner city spanning apartment buildings, cafes and offices, using the network built by RoamAD.

Previously the plan had been for RoamAD to run the network itself and seek a partner in a large telco to market and service the network. But no deal eventuated and RoamAD has spent the last year focusing on developing its technology. "RoamAD is an equipment vendor and we need to sell our technology to customers like Reach," said RoamAD chairman Martin Levy.

RoamAD Partner Unwires Auckland 04/14/2004 03:46 PM
RoamAD's so-far unique implementation of zone coverage with standard Wi-Fi used by Reach Wireless to offer service in Auckland's central business district: RoamAD uses 802.11b/g for their service and 802.11a for backhaul between points. They blanket an area by using as many as all of the legal, overlapping 802.11b/g channels with one card devoted to each channel in a chassis. The VP of business development, Martin Levy, told me at 802.11 Planet last year that for their goals, of achieving a minimum of mid-300 Kbps throughout their zone, the interference across overlapping channels was unimportant compared to the additional, inexpensive coverage that their approach allowed. The partner, Reach Wireless, will roll out RoamAD technology in all of the major markets in New Zealand. RoamAD hopes to sell its technology to cell carriers looking for major metropolitan coverage that can be offered at higher speeds but a fractional cost (with no licensing fees) as cellular broadband....

Wireless To Blanket All Of New York City

Wireless To Blanket All Of New York City 08/22/2004 01:12 PM
New York City is preparing to go fully wireless by January, 2005. The deal is currently being finalized between New York City authorities and six technology companies. To strengthen coverage and signal, 18,000 new lamp post-based antennas will be installed virtually everywhere in the five burroughs that make up New York City.

The plan has already come under fire by local officials concerned what the new antennas will do to people's health, now and in the long run. Local activist John Campos of Queens, NY, says, "Within where I live, over a mile radius, there are over 300 antennas already," said Mr Campos, pointing at a cluster of small masts on a rooftop across the street. "What happens if in 20 years, there's even a minor adverse reaction to human beings?"

Peter Vallone Jr is a Queens council member and chairman of the city's safety committee who also shares Mr. Campos's concerns. "The city was in the papers when I first came out against this, saying there's less radiation than from a microwave (oven) from these antennas, and that may be true," said councilman Vallone. "But nobody runs a microwave 24 hours a day, seven days a week, outside their bedroom door when they are sleeping. That's why it's important we study this," he added.

Commissioner Menchini addresses these concerns by stating, "We've had industry experts come in and advise us on this and everything I've heard, from our health commissioner to the industry experts, says there's no health risk associated with these antennas and these devices."
