The Not Really Free, Not Really
Broadband, Free Broadband Scam 08/06/2004 04:41 PM
Aaron writes in to point us to a story at Broadband Reports about a scam claiming to offer "free" broadband, when the truth is anything but that. The company in question is really just offering one of those silly web "accelerator" tools that speed up some dialup web surfing by caching images and using some compression. It's not really broadband at all, though if you're stuck on dialup, apparently it helps. It's also not free at all, since it's a typical pyramid scam, where you need to get others to sign up first. Since they know otherwise intelligent people will know it's a scam, the site doesn't make outrageous claims on their home page, but leaves those only for those who come via a referral code (which is all part of the scam) at which point they start making outlandish claims anyone with a bit of broadband knowledge would know were false.

Are America Online (TWX ) and Microsoft's (MSFT ) MSN relevant in the broadband era? The two online services' latest packages, AOL 9.0 for Broadband and MSN 9, try to make a case but manage no more than partial success. AOL's broadband offering is the richer and better integrated of the two, but I'm left wondering if either is worth the expense.

The End of Broadband Service

The End of Broadband Service 03/22/2005 03:33 PM

The FCC reached a decision this week that could effectively end broadband service as we know it. The order hasn't officially come out yet, but the result was leaked.

The FCC granted a petition by BellSouth to pre-empt state regulators from requiring "naked DSL." The procedural aspects are convoluted, so the effect of that action may not be clear. Here's what the FCC is saying. The local phone companies (and, although the ruling doesn't specifically cover them, cable companies) are free to force customers to buy pay for phone service in order to get broadband. Whether or not you use the phone company's voice service is immaterial -- you have to pay for it. Although there are a few telcos willing to sell DSL as a stand-alone service (notably Qwest), one wonders if they will continue to do so.

The FCC ruling makes broadband an extension of phone service, rather than the reverse. It ties the data applications of the future to the anchor of the public switched telephone network. That's perverse. Voice is the application, not connectivity. We'll never have real competition if the incumbents get paid even when customers want to switch to a competitor.

I want to pay someone for high-speed data connectivity, with the opportunity to use (and pay for) innovative applicaitons on top of that pipe. To me, that's broadband service. After the FCC decision, that may no longer be available. That's what I mean by the end of broadband as we know it. For the privilege of buying broadband, I'll have to buy phone service or something else I don't need, raising the effective price. This is the way to promote broadband adoption in the US?

This jump of nearly 2 points is 2.5 times the average rate of broadband growth. 52.13% of US home users dial into the Internet with "narrowband" connections of 56Kbps or less.* Meanwhile, broadband growth in other countries suggests a limit of 75% saturation... As of April 2004, most users in the US connect to the Internet using dial-up modems of 56Kbps or less. 42.74% use 56Kbps modems, 6.99% use 28/33.3Kbps, and 2.4%...

Broadband Changes Slower Than You Might
Think 12/29/2004 01:55 PM
Back in the late 90s boom years, a lot of companies bet quite a bit of money on the fact that broadband usage would spread very quickly -- and that would open up all kinds of new services and applications that couldn't really be done over a slow dialup connection. A lot of those offerings are no longer around. Now, however, the broadband usage really is catching on around the world, a new look at broadband users suggests they really haven't jumped on "broadband" applications and services just yet. They are using the internet more often and for longer periods of time. It does seem like a more essential part of their lives -- but that's more for the always-on nature of it, rather than the speed. People are doing things like file sharing and downloading content. A few more people are doing VoIP or video -- but, despite the article's headline suggesting that broadband is somehow "changing our culture," it appears that the really innovative uses of broadband haven't completely caught on yet. This is probably a good thing. It seems like the things that are changing are mostly happening gradually, somewhat under the radar, which lets them avoid the hype. There will still be plenty of innovative offerings making use of broadband connections, but they may take some time.

Navy's SA-60 High-Altitude Blimp

Navy's SA-60 High-Altitude Blimp 07/06/2004 11:39 AM

Now I'm not saying the Navy's new spherical test blimps look like giant, fake space breasts -- just because there's a circle within a circle and a little nipple-looking bit doesn't mean I'd be that crass -- but it does look an awful lot like a peering eye, which I guess would be more in theme, considering the Navy intends to use the new SA-60 blimps as mobile observation posts. And there's even a good reason for the ball-like shape -- the SA-60 can approach altitudes of up to 22,000 feet, almost four times as high as traditional cigar-shaped airships can fly. While the current version is piloted, future iterations will be unmanned to allow for flights of up to two days straight.

Linksys High-Gain Antennas

Linksys High-Gain Antennas 07/08/2004 08:44 AM

Linksys has announced a new line of high-gain antennas to be used with some of its more popular Wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (802.11g) wireless networking products. And get this -- no drivers needed. I know! Unfortunately, for all the talk of what connectors go with what products, they neglect to mention what dBi rating (signal gain) the antennas have. For $60 a pop, plus another $30 if you get the fancy stand, my guess is your can probably pick up something just as powerful or more from somebody like Fab Corp, although you'd be missing out on the matching blue and black Linksys plastic. (Thanks, Josh!)

Realizing There's Broadband In South
Korea 07/28/2004 06:22 AM
For quite a while, many in the broadband and wireless industries have known that the place to go look at the future of those technologies is South Korea (much more than Japan). It appears that the press is finally catching on. News.com has a detailed profile of the broadband situation in Korea, and pointing out some of the lessons the US can learn from the situation there (basically: build a faster network and get out of the way -- people will figure out how to use it, and use it well). Somewhat surprisingly, the article barely touches on what South Korea has been doing in the wireless space, but that's just as (if not, more) interesting. Maybe next time, when News.com has a collection of articles on wireless instead of broadband, they'll hit that point as well.
