07/02/2004 04:50 AMWell one thing Verizon should do is to have a database of customers
whose husbands are Editors with a national tech magazine that is read
by every early adopter and clued in geek in the nation. My company has
a VIP marker in our customer database not to say we don't take care of
all of our customers but VIP calls get routed to me.
I have had my fair share of issues with customer service people,
but it is amazing the response you get when you plead your case as
high in the food chain as possible with a written letter delivered by
registered mail. I am not going to spoil the story for you as you
actually are getting a 2 for 1 deal here [ZDNet]

recognizes that broadband is a truly interactive technology, with
upstream capabilities playing just as key a role in consumers' online
activities as downstream speeds."

Intel's Breakthrough May Be Overstated
in Mainstream Media
06/17/2005 03:18 PM Reports are coming in from all over about Intel's breakthrough Wi-Fi
chip design: But when you read a technical report, linked here, it's a
not-yet-commercial design that simply demonstrates Intel's ability to
incorporate 802.11a, b, g, and n within the same sort of flexible chip
manufacturing process--CMOS--used for the largest wafer formats and
highest yields. It's not that it's not interesting, but it's not yet a
big deal given that 802.11n won't be finalized until what's looking
like early 2007, and other chipsets already offer a/b/g in CMOS at low
power....

Claim of P2P's demise highly overstated,
thoroughly debunked
06/22/2005 01:49 AMCory Doctorow:
Entertainment Media Research's bogus study on music downloading
concluded that "35% of music listeners are using legal download
services, and that the percentage will soon surpass illegal downloads,
currently at 40%." A Slashdot reader trashes the bad statistical
comparisons here, with remarkable acuity:
This is a classic example of bogus statistics. The two figures have
absolutely nothing to do with each other. The 30% of people using
legal downloads might be mutually exclusive or totally overlapping
with the 40% that use illegal downloads. The numbers need not total to
100% (and could total to more than 100%). At best we can conclude:
1. No greater than 70% of music listeners download music (legal or
illegal) -- i.e., as much as 30% of music listeners simply don't
download music.
2. No fewer than 40% of music listeners download music (legal or
illegal).
3. At most, 30% use both legal and illegal downloads.
4. It's possible (based on this limited data) that no one does both
illegal and legal downloading.
In next month's survey, both numbers could go up or down since the
survey does not ask "do you ONLY download music from legal/ illegal
sources." Moreover, the survey provides no estimates of volumes --
illegal downloaders could be downloading 10X or 10X less than their
legal-downloading counterparts. Or people that download legal music
could be the biggest "pirates" and this survey would be none the
wiser.

Verizon About To Spread The EV-DO
09/22/2004 05:16 PMRumors have been flying for the past month or so about where and when
Verizon was going to next launch their 3G EV-DO wireless broadband
service. Now, they're finally admitting that they're
launching 11
new cities, and 8 additional airports this coming Monday and they
still expect to expand much more before the end of the year. It
certainly looks like their aggressive rollout plans are working. They
say they're still focused on business customers using laptops and PDAs
with datacards -- but that they'll launch EV-DO handsets and consumer
plans sometime next year. Also, while the story doesn't say
anything, the other rumors we're hearing are that the price is
dropping as well, from the ever-popular $80/month to the slightly more
reasonable $60/month range (though, this may only be for certain
customers who do some negotiating).

03/29/2005 02:05 PMQwest has been continually wooing MCI over the past few weeks, and

any time at all), as they almost immediately
accepted
Verizon's latest (slightly larger) offer and shunned Qwest's
offer. It appears MCI stills sees much more synergy in working with a
strong Verizon than a weak Qwest.

MSN Mobile Available On Verizon
MSN Mobile Available On Verizon
08/05/2004 02:31 PMMicrosoft Corp. on Thursday said its mobile messaging software is
available for Verizon Wireless cellular phones. MSN Mobile can be
downloaded from Verizon's online store, and installed on any of three
handsets, the LG VX6000, LG VX4400, and the LG VX4500. The software
costs $2.49 a month for subscribers before Oct. 26. After that,
subscriptions are $2.99 a month.
"MSN Mobile builds upon our relationship with Microsoft and is a
welcomed addition to our Get It Now (online) service," said Jim
Straight, vice president of data and multimedia services for
Bedminster, N.J.-based, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon
Communications and Vodafone. MSN Mobile subscribers can access their
MSN Hotmail inbox and set up alerts for incoming email messages. In
addition, users can instant message with people on PCs or MSN Mobile
handsets.

04/16/2005 09:36 AM Vitriol spews from Verizon CEO's lips on municipal networks, customer
expectations, cancellation fees: Get this man a Valium, stat! Verizon
CEO Ivan Seidenberg needs to calm down a bit. He thinks San
Francisco's municipal network idea is "one of the dumbest ideas I've
ever heard" because the network has to be built, designed, and
operated. Oddly, Verizon has no expertise in building campus-wide
Wi-Fi networks, and thus isn't really qualified to express that sort
of opinion. I had the same reaction to reading a Comcast
spokesperson's critique of the potential of a city-wide wireless
network: Comcast doesn't build that; they're not qualified to say it's
possible or not. What's even funnier about this quote is that Verizon
will probably bid to build city-wide networks in Minneapolis and
Philadelphia....
