As CRM Daily notes in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series, Siebel -- which, in effect, defined CRM as we know it -- is contending with market forces that ultimately will mean change -- not only for the company, but also for the rest of the industry.

Larry Ellison Testifies 06/30/2004 09:19 PM

I've been in federal court this afternoon to hear Oracle's La rry Ellison testify in the important antitrust case in which the government is trying to block Oracle's buyout of PeopleSoft. Ellison was, as you'd expect, a cool customer of a witness. But his appearance may have been something of an anticlimax, given that the issues of this case have been pretty well thrashed out by previous witnesses. Still, it was fascinating to watch. More later.

Gurley and Ellison on Municipal Rights

Gurley and Ellison on Municipal Rights 03/19/2005 02:24 AM

Bill Gurley of Benchmark Capital offers a fantastic, capitalist, classically conservative essay on municipal telecom/broadband: Benchmark is an investor in Tropos, disclosed in Gurley's essay, but his essay is one that should make those that favor self-determination in government and true competition cheer. He peels back in six points the problems with the rash of laws sparked by a March 2004 Supreme Court ruling to restrict municipal involvement in telecommunications infrastructure and service.

In brief, these laws: favor incumbents by eliminating competition, enforce the idea that oligopolies are competition, restricts American innovation, restricts leverage for municipalities over incumbent development, eliminates community service aspects of broadband, and removes self-determination. I call this classically conservative because he's in favor of competition, although many conservatives would exclude municipalities from being involved as competitors.

"In what is ostensibly the cornerstone "democracy" on the planet, one would think that the citizens in each of America's cities could simply "vote" on the services they believe make sense for their city to provide."

Carol Ellison writes about the tale of two companies interested in the muni space: Ellison runs through the issues facing Tropos, a Wi-Fi metropolitan mesh provider, and DynamicCity, which offers fiber to the premises (FTTP). "The anti-muni bills present a scenario where their companies aren't submitting bids to win the business. They're forced into negotiations with a competitor, the incumbent carrier, which understandably will want to protect the market and keep its competition out."

Judges Say Harlan Ellison Can Sue AOL
For Usenet Postings

Judges Say Harlan Ellison Can Sue AOL
For Usenet Postings 02/11/2004 03:58 AM
Nearly two years ago, I was surprised to find a legal decision I agreed with (they happen so rarely) where a judge had tosse d out author Harlan Ellison's lawsuit against AOL, saying that AOL, as a service provider, was not responsible for Usenet postings that contained Ellison's stories. Note, these stories weren't even on AOL - but on Usenet, available from just about every ISP out there. Ellison, though, has decided that it's not worth understanding the technology when you can just sue and because he could see the posts on AOL, it must be AOL's fault. Thus, he has contin ued fighting the case, to the point where he's spent almost all of his money on the lawsuit. He insists that this is all AOL's fault because it took them two weeks to respond to his request to block the Usenet posts in question. Unfortunately, it appears that my relief at a smart judicial ruling was premature. An appeals court has overturned the ruling and sent it back to the court, saying that AOL loses their DMCA liability protection because of the amount of time it took them to respond. In other words, DMCA protection against liability (one of the very few good things in the law) is limited by your response times to complaints. Ellison, continuing to miss the point, is declaring victory, but AOL is still confident they'll win the case anyway.

AOL Pays Off Harlan Ellison To Shut Up
And Leave Them Alone

AOL Pays Off Harlan Ellison To Shut Up
And Leave Them Alone 06/11/2004 01:29 AM
Last year we wrote about the bizarre and pointless case that Harlan Ellison was bankrupting himself over when he discovered that someone had posted his writings to Usenet. Did he go after whoever posted the writings? No. He went after... AOL. Just like the story we had last week where a woman sued Cingular for a driver on a mobile phone hitting her, it looked like Ellison was just going after a random company with a lot of money. AOL had nothing to do with the posting of his work. AOL has nothing to do with Usenet. He just happened to see the posts via his AOL account and, not bothering to understand how the internet works, he sued AOL. After years of fighting, it looks like AOL just got fed up and has paid him off in a "settlement" to go away.
