Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
I've complained in the past about the annoyanc e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo, the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco over at CBS Marketwatch has noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is collecting public information. However, if the info was given to an individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

3Com, Trapeze Team Up

3Com, Trapeze Team Up 08/16/2004 07:48 PM
3Com's decision to partner with Trapeze on WLAN switches may be further evidence that the WLAN switch is here to stay: 3Com said today that it formed a partnership with Trapeze which will initially be an OEM agreement but in the future will migrate into a co-development relationship. 3Com also expects to include Trapeze software into some of its platforms. "The growth of this market is very attractive," said Brent Nixon, director of product management for 3Com. He expects the WLAN switch market to continue to grow and believes that having a switch will allow 3Com to better target the educational, healthcare, enterprise, and public access markets. The WLAN switch market started out as an industry crowded with startups and many experts said the market was likely to consolidate. So far, however, the switch makers aren't being bought up by more established players nor are they going out of business. They are getting creative though. AirFlow, for example, stopped making its switch and said it would instead try to license its software to former competitors or other vendors. Airespace made a deal with NEC where NEC is selling a converged wireless voice and data platform that incorporates Airespace's WLAN switch. Airespace also has OEM agreements with Alcatel and Nortel and a co-development deal with D-Link. 3Com said it has a number of reasons for wanting to partner with Trapeze rather than develop its own WLAN switch, buy a startup, or form a basic OEM deal. "We feel that by a partnership relationship, Trapeze will be focused on maintaining their advantage in the market," Nixon said. He also thinks that a partnership will allow 3Com to reach the market faster than if it developed its own product or bought a startup. A basic OEM relationship would also fall short of what 3Com was looking for. "If you just go with a straight OEM relationship, you don't quite get the synergies you get from a true partnership," he said. The relationship is not exclusive and Trapeze doesn't expect the co-development aspect of the deal to interfere with the possibility of OEM deals with other vendors, said Dan Simone, co-founder and vice president of product management for Trapeze. Once the companies start working closely to develop products, they will aim to integrate the wireless switch technology into 3Com's networking technologies. "We'll get the technologies to work closely together over wireless so that it's...

Calif. College to Get WLAN From Trapeze

Calif. College to Get WLAN From Trapeze 12/03/2003 02:41 PM
Ohlone College in Fremont Calif. is building a WLAN using gear from switch maker Trapeze: The network should cover the campus by the middle of next year. Ohlone wanted a network that could support 802.1X including AES, and the Trapeze system could support that level of security. (Glenn's mom used to take classes at Ohlone, which had--maybe still has--a beautifully but spread-out campus that's just ideal for Wi-Fi connectivity: lots of high points and many buildings.)...

Trapeze Brings Cisco APs into Switch

Trapeze Brings Cisco APs into Switch 04/18/2005 02:47 PM
Trapeze has added support for several Cisco APs: WIth a command-line change, a Cisco AiroNet 350, 1100, or 1200 can be part of a Trapeze-managed WLAN switched network. This should make it an easier sell for Trapeze VARs walking into Cisco-oriented enterprises, especially with Cisco VARs and direct sales folk trying to push new Airespace equipment into existing installations. This announcement ranks up there with AirWave's recent 3.1 version bump that allows AirWave's software management tool for WLANs to handle Cisco Airespace devices, too....

Trapeze Upgrades Switch Solution

Trapeze Upgrades Switch Solution 12/18/2003 03:39 PM
Like other WLAN switch vendors, Trapeze has come out with some upgrades that address shortcomings indicated by the market: Trapeze access points now support 802.11g and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption keys, which are part of the 802.11i security spec in progress. (WPA includes only TKIP keys, far superior to WEP, but not as good as AES for government-grade operations.) The access points can also connect directly to an existing switch or a Trapeze switch so customers have more options in how they architect the network. The platform now can also continuously scan the air for rogue APs. Once rogues are found, it identifies their locations on a network map. Trapeze also integrated with SpectraLink's voice over Wi-Fi solution so the platform will support the solution. Trapeze has already integrated with Vocera and Telesym, other voice over Wi-Fi vendors....

Aruba, Maybe Trapeze Go Open Source

Aruba, Maybe Trapeze Go Open Source 03/14/2005 05:46 PM
Aruba will release some of its access-point code under open-source licenses: Trapeze may follow: Peter Judge at Techworld reports the fascinating news that Aruba wants more Atheros-based access points to incorporate their secret sauce by making it no longer secret. They'll post source code on Sourceforge under open-source copyright agreements. This commodifies the AP, pushing Aruba's intelligence entirely into the controlling switch and reducing overall cost of management. Judge reports that Trapeze is expected to make a similar announcement. Now wait a minute, your grizzled editor thinks to himself aloud, scratching his head, where have I heard this model before? Oh, yes: Sputnik. Sputnik's first centralized management software release through its current one relies on firmware incorporated into access points that they make available at no charge to commoditize the AP and put value into the central controller. But Sputnik is a management tool; Aruba is a switch vendor. It's interesting to see the model recapitulate itself. Update: NetGear will pursue Aruba certification for their access points, Tom's Networking reports....

Forget Layoffs, Fire Them For Porn

Forget Layoffs, Fire Them For Porn 09/01/2004 01:26 PM
One writer at ZDNet UK is wondering if the porn excuse is being used as an alternative to laying people off. There are a growing number of stories about people losing their jobs for viewing porn on work computers, but the writer wonders how bad the offenses really are. He also notes that no one seems to complain when a company gets rid of people for porn, but layoffs seem like bad news all around. This seems like a stretch (and also seems to imply that almost anyone you'd want to layoff has been surfing porn on their work computer), but is still somewhat amusing. Maybe we'll have a different stat next to monthly layoffs: "fired for porn."
