Comcast Offers Home Network
Installation, Equipment Rental
05/05/2004 03:44 PMComcast will install Wi-Fi gear, configure a router, and rent it to
their customers with new program: Comcast Home Networking includes the
delivery and installation of Wi-Fi networking for a setup fee and $5
per month (covering the router and one PC Card). Setup costs $200 for
two computers up to $300 for five computers, the maximum covered by
this deal. A current discount program chops $100 off that price until
June 1. The terms and pricing don't explain the rental fee for the
second through fifth computers' hardware, referring to a "rate card"
that isn't on the Web site. The installation includes configuring and
setting a WEP encryption key for the network, a task which with
certain equipment can cause grown men and women to weep. There's
definitely a place for a service in which the equipment is covered
against defects. The site for the program doesn't note this, but
Comcast's overarching subscriber terms says, During the term of this
Agreement, Comcast will repair and maintain all Comcast Equipment and
you agree that the Comcast Equipment will not be serviced by anyone
other than Comcast employees or agents. Part of the press release
noted that this package, offered as $52.95 per month excluding the
rental fees and install fees, has up to 4 Mbps download speeds and 384
Kbps upload speeds. The basic package is $42.95 per month for 3 Mbps
down and 256Kbps up. These prices require a Comcast cable
subscription; it's $10 extra per month without such a subscription.
(Macintosh users need not apply.) Qwest DSL's comparable service is
$39.99/month for 1.5 Mbps down, 896 Kbps up (with Qwest phone
service). Qwest also offers a wireless option with less support and no
installation but without the rental cost: you just buy an Actiontec
device with 802.11g and DSL modem support built in....

« The Sousse Ribat. Four galleries of photos from Tunisia; Black
& White, Colour, Carthage<
/a> and El Jem.
The people of Tunisia were decidedly uninterested in being
photographed and would hide their faces the moment they spotted a
tourist from 100 paces away. Next time, I go dressed as a Jawa. »
Tunisia was the destination for our winter holiday this year which
conjured a mixture of the exotic and the 'Star Wars' familiar in the
imagination. We departed late on Christmas Eve on a plane that had the
most cramped seating I've ever had the displeasure of sitting in and
still have the bruises on my kneecaps to prove it. I drank 3 glasses
of wine and chewed my fingernails to the quick to tamp down the
swirling homicidal urges directed at the woman in the seat in front of
me who kept bouncing the back of the seat not realising that the bumps
she was feeling in her back were my knees.
Fortunately, the flight was only four hours long. At passport
control, I watched a rather intimidating customs official linger over
every person and I began to be quite nervous about being a Yank. I
gave the man my papers and tried to do my best 'customs casual' hoping
that there wouldn't be a squad of armed guards if I looked too tense.
While waving about the folded receipt for my residence permit renewal
application that he found in the back of passport, "What's this?!", he
asked. I explained what it was and he then went through each and every
stamp in my passport. Twice. A few other questions and he tired of
toying with me and let me pass. A metal detector and two more passport
checks awaited us. Jarkko half-jokingly said to some other Finns on
the elevator in the hotel that he wouldn't be surprised if there was a
passport check at the room door. Welcome to Tunisia....
We strolled into Sousse on Christmas morning in search of coffee and
a general idea of the place we had flown into the night before. Sousse
is very much a product for the consumption of the tourists who come
there to visit but even with that in mind there were no McDonald's, no
Pizza Huts, no porn, no giant new shopping malls. There were a lot of
Santa and New Year decorations which were clearly part of the tourism
package but otherwise there were few signs of American/European
culture having found its way into Tunisia which was a refreshing
change of pace. Our 4-star hotel room even lacked a TV, telephone and
anything else electronic. It was paradise. We found a cafe and, after
nearly two years of strong Finnish coffee, the Tunisian coffee I
ordered 3 consecutive cups of was so good as to be sublime. I wanted
to order a thermos of it to go and I fantasized about a coffee
pipeline from the mediterranean to Finland.
The Sousse medina was like running a gauntlet at a an American vacuum
salesman convention in Las Vegas. Primed for an international
clientele, i.e. tourists, the shopkeepers would step into your path
and attempt to get you to look at their touristy crap at low prices
just for you. "Päivä! Päivä! Mitä kuuluu?" and "Raha on loppu?" was
their mantra to the pale folks like us dressed in black unless they
noticed my camera and then it was either "Wie gehts?" or something in
Dutch. I must admit that I admired their polyglot approach to pitching
their wares even if I wasn't so fond of their aggressive sales
tactics. Touristy towns always attract grifters. On our last day, we
experienced what I called a 'Tunisian mugging' delivered to us by an
old man who caught us off guard by speaking very good English and
offering to show us the way to the great mosque in the medina. A few
scary alleyways later, I shook his hand, thanked him and it dawned on
me that we had been had in the least clever manner possible. We gave
him a few coins and wandered back into familiar territory somewhat
relieved.
On the first evening in Sousse, we had a few drinks in the hotel pub
with a congenial bartender who would show his approval or disapproval
of drink choices and keep the flow of little plates of finger foods
coming all evening. At some point, between the second and third
indigenous cocktail concoction, a local businessman started chatting
us up and extolled the wonders the tax-free status businesses enjoy
for five years in Tunisia. I asked, of course, "What happens after
five years?", and he laughed a little too heartily and said, "You
change the name of the business." Apparently, Tunisians also enjoy a
Mexican-style privilege where they are allowed to hop over to Italy as
a source of cheap agricultural labour. The train to Tunis the
following day was a tour moving through olive groves and piles and
piles of rubbish. Hundreds of tissue paper thin plastic bags in white,
black, pink and other colours lay on open fields catching the wind
which looked like some post-modern crop ready for harvest. After so
many kilometers of rubble, rubbish and olives, a giant superdome of a
football stadium rises up out of the plain just outside Tunis which
instantly tells you where the national priority lies. The Lonely
Planet guidebook mentions, "Westerners are often shocked by the
depressing amount of litter in the countryside; it's not unusual to
see rubbish being thrown from cars or buses.", and continues to
mention that forests and animals are all but gone as well as
widespread pollution from heavy industries and water scarcity place
Tunisia pretty low on the environmental health index. I think anyone,
not just westerners, would be appalled by the rubbish covering the
countryside. I have a few German sayings that my mother used to quote
frequently that all basically say that you don't have to be rich to
avoid living like a pig. It makes you incredulous that empires fought
over this once prosperous and lush land that is now a giant landfill.
The Tunis medina was much larger, much more interesting and filled
with local goods instead of the tourist crap and the pushy salesmen
that went with it. It is not, not for the claustrophobic or
those who like personal space in a crowd. One local man got Jarkko's
attention and pointed from his eye to Jarkko's jacket pocket and let
him know he should be mindful of pickpockets in the very tight crush
of people. It was just a brochure for Carthage, but it was very nice
of him to try and help the obviously 'not from around here' shoppers.
I bought only one thing in Tunisia and that was an authentic fez. The
local costume is a brown wool cape with pointy hood [think Jawa] and
red wool fez sans tassel. I wanted to buy one fez with a tassel for
the perl pod mullah, but the man refused saying that those were only
for tourists. Uh...Yah. :)
After 8 years of Latin and Roman history, I was really excited about
seeing Carthage, but having seen downtown Tunis before riding the
local train out to the ruins I was already lowering my expectations.
Carthage is reportedly an upscale suburb but they must not expect
anyone to visit it on their own as there are few signs to the
scattered sites, no maps, and no visitors office for information. A
pile of garbage was sitting in front of a European embassy where
several cats were picking through it casually. I suppose that
'upscale' simply means better a garbage selection for the local stray
cats. The view of Tunis and the sea from Byrsa Hill was beautiful, but
after the museum the rest of the ruins were a bit too shabby for me to
bear. We headed back into Tunis to get some lunch and catch the train
to Sousse and, while I was waiting in line at the tabac, I watched
with some fascination a calligrapher decorating cards for people who
wanted something special for their New Year greetings.
After the depressing state we found Carthage and since we couldn't
make the trip to Dougga we decided to head for El Jem which the
guidebook spoke very highly of for its colosseum that was third
largest in the Roman empire. Getting there was half the fun since,
aside from the twice daily train, the only way to get there was via
louage. A louage is a shared ride where you go to the station, state
your destination and expect to ride on the roof of the minibus because
the guy with the goats needs more room and goats are more difficult to
tie down. Most of the roads are 2-lane and crowded with slowly moving
trucks so the louage drivers are constantly leapfrogging through
traffic. After a few terrifying moments where I could count the moles
on a truck drivers' face, I decided to stare out at the passing
scenery until we reached El Jem. :) Drivers chat on their mobile,
change the radio station, make change for passengers and pass slower
traffic all at the same time. It was a very cool experience, a bit
unsettling, but the view of the colosseum from the outskirts of town
was enough to know that even walking there would have been worth the
trip. El Jem, formerly known as Thysdrus, built its wealth by being a
transport hub in the olive trade and became the most opulent city
within the Roman empire by 238 AD. The city revolted, assassinated the
tax collector and proclaimed the African proconsul Gordian as Emperor
when Emperor Maximus attempted to apply a heavy tax and relocate that
wealth to Rome. Furious, Maximus punished the city and it faded from
the memory of time and would only be remembered much later through
some references made by Catholic priests.
The food was very good, especially the couscous and the olives.
Tunisian Celtia beer is a light pilsner that is surprisingly good as
are some of the local wines that we got bombed on one evening when it
was stormy outside and didn't want to leave the restaurant. The
appetizers are divine and full of fresh vegetables that I've not seen
in years, which I ate in spite of the brief thought of the fields
filled with rubbish contaminating the food supply. Hey, pollution
tastes yummy with enough chili and onion served with it. :)
Tunisia is a very interesting place and I'd recommend it to anyone
who is willing to deal with the inconveniences of a country that
hasn't quite made it to the 21st century or, more precisely, it has
many of the bad parts of modernization without most of the good ones.
If we decide to return sometime, we'll avoid the tourist compound,
hire a local guide and head for some of the more out of the way
places. Don't leave home without a good guidebook as you won't get
very much information from the tourist bureaus or a reasonable supply
of pocket tissue packs since toilet seats, hand soap and toilet
paper are rare commodities in public toilets. Next year, we're going
to go somewhere hot, sunny and more modern for our winter holiday. :)

Quite The Telecom Equipment Scam
Quite The Telecom Equipment Scam
09/03/2004 07:53 PMBroadband
Reports point us to a Forbes story concerning the
huge telecom equipment scam
operation called Norvergence. The company was apparently selling
$2,000 router/firewall boxes (that were available for $300 on eBay) by
calling it "The Matrix: a merged access transport intelligent
exchange." They then targeted small, non-tech-savvy businesses with
fast talking salespeople promising "unlimited broadband, landline and
cell phone service with no per-minute charges." Even better, they
weren't actually selling them, but "leasing" them at $300/month for a
minimum
five year lease. Then, to make matters even more
ridiculous Norvergence sold those leases to leasing and banking
companies. Norvergence got all the cash ($143 million in 2003) and
ran, while everyone else got screwed. Meanwhile, the founders of
Norvergence have already bankrupted another telecom startup, leaving
creditors in the hole by nearly $70 million, and are
already hard
at work on yet another telecom startup. Why not? It seems to pay
so well. Is there any possible reason these guys haven't been
arrested yet?
