Update on "Did T-Mobile block TxTMOB
messages during RNC?"

Update on "Did T-Mobile block TxTMOB
messages during RNC?" 09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: In a BoingBoing post last week, one reader wondered if political motivations may have caused T-Mobile's reported "blocking" of messages from activist messaging service TxTMOB. BoingBoing reader Gabe replies:

"I'm a network data analyst for T-Mobile. I've actually tested the network to see why those messages were blocked, and from the response our email-to-sms gateway is giving, apparently our immensely retarded spam filter thinks that txtmob's SMTP server is spamming us. Basically, if the network sees more than about a hundred messages coming from the same SMTP server within an hour, it just blacklists it. Stupid but true."

RNC-NYC: Did T-Mobile block TxTMOB
messages during Convention?

RNC-NYC: Did T-Mobile block TxTMOB
messages during Convention? 09/04/2004 12:23 PM
Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing reader Kevin Slavin says,

When I attended some of the RNC protests on Tuesday ( Link to BoingBoing post), I was depending on txtmob. It was invaluable for staying safe and developing effective protest strategies and tactics.

Right around 5:30 or 6, just as things started to heat up around me, I stopped getting SMS, just like that. I thought it was rather suspicious, but was willing to concede that it could be some technology malfunction. There were more SMSes going out than usual, for the region, and I thought maybe it was an overload. It blew any opportunities I had to effectively co-ordinate with the legal, and civil, RNC protests. So now, as it turns out -- say the txtmob people -- it wasn't technology, it was T-Mobile (my now ex-carrier). Highlighted text below, from the txtmob dispatch: "T-Mobile blocked TXTmob messages during a portion of the RNC. "

My only question is, WTF? Since when does T-Mobile decide which messages are ok, and which aren't? What, in my contract with them, specifies that they can decide which messages I am allowed to get? Who told who to block which messages? I'm no lawyer, but those seem like the kinds of questions that lawyers are interested in.

Following text snipped from a TxTMOB update to subscribers with Subject: TxTMob UPDATE: Post RNC, issued September 3:

Finally, a note for T-Mobile customers: As many of you are aware, T-Mobile blocked TXTmob messages during a portion of the RNC. While we won't speculate on the reasons for this action, it would be extremely helpful if the hundreds of customers who were unable to receive TXTMob messages called T-Mobile to complain. Be sure to explain that TXTMob is an opt-in service that you have chosen to join, and to encourage their representatives to contact admin@txtmob.com if they have any questions.

Link to TxTMOB website, and link to related CNN story about the role of phone-text services in protests at the convention.

Mobile Phones Shouldn't Be TVs

Mobile Phones Shouldn't Be TVs 11/17/2003 05:45 AM
In the past few months three major mobile phone makers (Sony, Samsung and Nokia) have announced plans to add TV tuners to their mobile phones and one major carrier (Sprint PCS) has launched a painfully slow (2 frames per second!) streaming TV option for some of their subscribers. The whole thing reminds me of the hype around portable TVs that were popular for a week or two in the eighties as the second coming of the walkman system. The idea was that if you liked carrying around your radio, wouldn't you like to carry around your TV as well? The answer turned out to be a big fat no, and most of the people who bought the TVs realized they never actually needed to watch TVs when they were out and about - because they were out and about doing something. So, why is the industry making the same mistake? Douglas Rushkoff thinks it's even worse, because having the mobile phone industry focusing on silly things like adding television to phones means they're spending less attention on improving the real reason people buy mobile phones: to have good voice calls. All the money and effort being spent on adding TVs no one wants could be better spent improving the mobile phone networks. He also has an interesting categorization of screen device "scales": inch, foot, yard. Inch devices (PDAs, phones) are for personal content or small bits of content - not for massive data retrieval. Foot devices (TVs, monitors) work as well for data input and data retrieval - and can be shared by just a few people at the same time. Yard devices (movie screens, big screen TVs, whiteboards) are better designed for one-to-many broadcast communication. He points out that realizing the basic size of the screen suggests the type of applications it's good for - and focusing too much on applications out of the sensible realm doesn't make sense.

Let Them Eat Mobile Phones

Let Them Eat Mobile Phones 09/22/2004 09:15 PM
Reuters is reporting that African leaders want to buy a bunch of mobile phones because "there are more telephones in Manhattan than in all Africa." Apparently, if you just add mobile phones to a bunch of poor countries, all else will be solved. I've taken a deeper look at this story over at TheFeature, where I compare the situation to the famous "cargo cults" of the South Pacific in World War II, where a confusion over the big picture (and cause and effect) led groups of people to think they could solve all their problems by mimicking the basic actions of others, but not getting to the root causes of the situation. I do think that technology can be a huge help to developing nations, but ad hoc solutions to "just add technology X" are never going to help unless the real issues are addressed first.

Here's something I hadn't thought of: using a bluetooth headset with iChat. I already use iChat a great deal for communicating remotely with coworkers, but I usually wear big stereo headphones and use the iSight as the mic. Instead I could be wirelessly talking and listening using something like this.

I always knew iChat coupled with an iSight was a killer combo and I greatly prefer it over regular conference calls, but with a bluetooth headset it becomes even more useful for one-on-one conversations between other people with the same setup. Heck, if everyone you knew had a powerbook, iSight, and a bluetooth headset, this would kick ass all over Voice Over IP systems.
