Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi?

Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi? 07/09/2004 09:53 AM
Political blogger 601am.com has been told there will be no Wi-Fi on the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Conventions floors: We don't have this confirmed yet, but Aaron Bailey of 601am.com, a credentialed blogger for the DNC event, was told by several authorities that Wi-FI interferred with "broadcast television signals" and was thus banned. This rang a bell, and I contacted Tim Pozar, a microwave expert who recently joined the Electronic Frontier Foundation's staff. Tim writes extensively about the Part 15 FCC rules which govern use of unlicensed bands, such a the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) band in which 802.11b and 802.11g (the two most popular Wi-Fi flavors) perform their magic. Tim noted that Electronic News Gathering (ENG) is a licensed -- and thus priority -- use of a part of the 2.4 GHz band. ENG is used to send signals from television cameras to remote trucks or studios. The Part 74 ENG use is licensed, which means that unlicensed Wi-Fi users can suck eggs if they don't like being banned. Tim suggests that the frequency coordinator for the venues made a big stink about this as likely every ENG channel will be in use in the conferences. They don't need unlicensed "mucking" up the band. Tim has written this paper about licensed uses that overlap unlicensed bands. Tim notes that 802.11a, which uses the 5 GHz band, could have been deployed successfully, but few people have 802.11a or 802.11a/g cards. It's still not common technology because of its lack of backwards compatibility and shorter range at the same power outputs. More on this story as we receive information from the field. I'm especially curious to see if newsgatherers who create their own software base stations or plop Linksys access points onto the expensive Ethernet drops they pay Verizon for will be hunted down and shut off....

Political Bloggers Almost, But Not
Quite, Regulated

Political Bloggers Almost, But Not
Quite, Regulated 03/25/2005 01:07 PM

The Federal Election Commission started to extend campaign finance rules to the Internet. According to CNET News.com, the proposed changes would have made any website over 500 readers post government-mandated notices or risk violating campaign finance laws. The original reforms would have imposed Federal rules from decades ago on websites. But at the last minute, the proposals changed.

The explanation for the dramatic changes during the last two weeks, according to one FEC official familiar with the events, is the unusua l public outcry that followed a public alarm that Commissioner Bradley Smith sounded about a pending government crackdown on bloggers. After Smith's warning, an army of bloggers mobilized to oppose intrusive regulations and prominent members of Congress warned the commission not to be overly aggressive.

The regulatory approach was necessary because of "the increased use of the Internet by federal candidates, political committees, and others to communicate with the general public to influence federal elections," according to the March 10 draft.  "If the March 10 draft had gone into effect, it would have been bloggers with pitchforks and torches storming the Federal Election Commission at 999 E Street," said Mike Krempasky, a contributor to conservative Web site RedState.org and co-creator of an online petition on behalf of bloggers

Political Bloggers Under Fire

Bloggers in the San Francisco area may soon have to watch what they say politically - or they may face mandatory registration of their Web logs and be forced to report all related costs to the city’s Ethics Commission. In a copy of the proposal obtained by BetaNews, however, it appears the law covers more than just blogs.

Political bl0ggers don't follow the
power-law distribution 07/22/2004 12:52 AM
Henry Farrell, a poli sci prof, has just finished a new paper on blogging popularity. He sez, "The finding that is perhaps of most interest to bloggers is that there doesn't seem to be a power law distribution of links to political bloggers - instead, it's a lognormal distribution. Our interpretation of this is that the forces leading to pervasive inequality and 'rich getting richer' phenomena are weaker than Shirky and others suggest - lognormal distributions are associated with network growth models that provide more room for link-poor sites to grow richer." 237K PDF Link (Thanks, Henry!

WWIT: Calling conventions

WWIT: Calling conventions 06/22/2005 02:30 AM
If you've looked you might have noticed that Parrot's calling conventions are somewhat... heavyweight. Not particularly bad as these things go (they're actually very similar to the conventions you see on systems with lots of registers such as the Alpha or PPC) but still, heavier than folks used to only stack-based systems are used to. As a recap for those not intimately familiar with parrot's calling conventions (as they stood a while ago at least -- things may have changed) the first eleven of each type of argument (PMC, String, Integer, and Float) go into registers 5-15 of the...
