Coursey's Spectrum Skepticism

Coursey's Spectrum Skepticism 03/06/2004 02:06 AM
David Coursey at ZDNet AnchorDesk picks up on our IEEE Spectrum article about the coming spectrum explosion. 

David's job is to be cantankerous and pick fights.  So I'm not offended by his comment that "My immediate reaction to [the article] is, 'Keep dreaming.'"  He acknowledges that we make a convincing case; he's just skeptical the spectrum-rich future we paint will arrive quickly or without tradeoffs. 

I'm not sure where exactly we disagree.  The IEEE Spectrum article isn't a lyrical vision of infinite bandwidth; it's a point-by-point account of where the new capacity will come from, and why we're confident it's coming.  Even if you don't believe the more exotic technologies we discuss, such as ultra-wideband, will have any significant effect, there is still a huge amount of spectrum coming on the market from simple FCC reallocations. 

The kick from the unlicensed technologies will indeed take some time to manifest itself fully.  But that's like dismissing the Web in 1994 or WiFi in 1999.  If we know that the wireless world is going to be transformed, we shouldn't dismiss what's happening because the process will take a few years. 

I'm gratified that most of the comments to Coursey's column on the ZDNet site defend our original article.  It doesn't help Coursey that he throws in red herrings like the risk of cancer from cell phones and the problems with spectrum auctions.  Our basic argument, that more new wireless capacity will soon be made available than over any comparable period in history, remains unrefuted.

Skepticism, cynicism, optimism 11/11/2003 10:30 AM
A bunch of people want this upcoming U.S. presidential election to be one that we look back on, years hence, as the historic intersection between the Internet and democracy. Maybe, maybe not. At the same time, a quieter drama is unfolding. Although not precisely quadrennial, Microsoft product cycles have a comparable rhythm. I've seen too many of them. Yet I think I've managed to stay on the right side of the line that divides skepticism from cynicism. And when hear a cacophony of voices like this, I can even find cause for optimism: ...

SALT LAKE CITY -- Novell may be a U.S. company, but as a Linux vendor it is still struggling for respect in a U.S. market dominated by Red Hat. But over the last year Jack Messman's company has tightened up relationships with vendors like IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, and the Novell chairman and CEO hopes to eventually leverage those relationships to bring Novell's Suse Linux success not only to the U.S., but also other international markets. Still, Messman says that China, one of the fastest-growing and largest markets in the world, is not on his radar just yet.

Analysts Cautious About Sony's PSP
Success 06/01/2004 09:08 AM

Apparently I'm not the only one tentative about the success of Sony's upcoming portable game console, the PSP. Analysts in Tokyo are keeping their distance until Sony decides to reveal more of their game plan, specifically as it pertains to retail price (which will likely fall between $200 and $300). While Sony continues to swear it has a hit on its hands -- especially Sony Computer Entertainment president (and father of the Playstation) Ken Kutaragi, who continues to claim the PSP is "the Walkman of the 21st century" -- some analysts, like UFJ Tsubasa Securities' Takashi Oka think that Nintendo's dominance of the market will be a harder egg to crack than Sony expects. They did it once, seizing on Nintendo's seemingly-trivial exclusion of a CD-ROM drive from the Nintendo 64, and Sony is betting that the addition of an optical drive will lead them to success again.
