Yankee Group report: Bad news, good news

05/11/2004 03:50 AMLate last month, Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio provoked some pretty
harsh rhetoric on open source community sites with a report on her
organization's survey on the major operating systems currently used in
businesses. While rabid Linux advocates might not be thrilled,
realists should be jumping for joy.

02/01/2005 10:02 PMHoward Dean's road to the DNC chairmanship keeps getting clearer.
Going into this week, it appeared that there were only two potential
roadblocks big enough to stop Dean's momentum. The first was the
endorsement of the Association of State Democratic Chairs. If the
chairs came together behind some other candidate, other voting members
of the DNC might jump on the anti-Dean bandwagon. But on Monday, the
chairs voted overwhelmingly to endorse Dean. The second potential
roadblock was labor, but the
A
FL-CIO has just announced that it won't be endorsing anyone. Dean
would have preferred to pick up the AFL-CIO endorsement, of course,
but his opposition needed it more. The candidates will fight it out
for individual union endorsements now, but no one will get the big,
momentum-swinging punch that the AFL-CIO would have provided. Put this
one in Dean's column, and move him a few squares closer to victory on
Feb. 12.

02/12/2004 02:12 PMAnna-Maria Kovacs has long been one of the few Wall Street analysts to
really understand the FCC regulatory process and its implications for
the telecom industry. In today's note ahead of the FCC meeting
expected to take up VOIP issues, she nails the crucial business
implications of the VOIP regulation debate:
- If the application vendors can ride free and
the telco and cable network providers are not allowed to block them,
then the
application vendors will have a huge cost advantage vis-à-vis
the carriers they
ride. The carriers will have both
network and marketing costs, while the pure application vendors will
only have
marketing costs. In such an environment,
the guest’s end-user rates can be much lower than those of the
host. The problem would be most extreme for the
telcos, who have an existing revenue base at risk and who lack video
revenues to
help support at least a portion of their network. But even the
cable-network
providers would be at a disadvantage vis-a-vis the pure application
vendors.
- The good news would be lots more end-user
choices and lower prices. The bad news
would be the threat to the financial viability of the underlying
carriers who
make that competition possible.
What Anna-Maria has realized is that the VOIP debate is about two
visions for the future of the Internet. It's the same point
captured in James Seng's
layers diagram,
and has been a recurring theme in my writings over the past few
years. Vision 1 presumes that applications will be tied to
connectivity platforms. Vision 2 innovation and economic activity
booming when those layers are de-linked. (In case you're unclear,
I believe in Vision 2.)
Naive expressions of Vision 1, like yesterday's
Wall Street Journal editorial,
simply ignore the lessons of the Internet and telecom competition over
the past two decades. The best case that can be made for tying
applications to network infrastructure is the one Kovacs lays out:
it's
the only way to pay for the network. The critical question is the
one raised in her last sentence: whether the network is financial
viable based on connectivity revenues alone. (Anna-Maria is just
setting out the possibilities; I don't know whether or not she
believes
this viewpoint is accurate.)
I'm convinced that network operators can do quite well based on their
access revenues alone, without any need to suck value out of the
application and content layers. The hard part will be replacing
legacy infrastructure and shifting to a new cost structure. The
Bells spend tens of billions of dollars each year on capital
expenditures, and turning that oil tanker around won't be easy.
Yesterday, in his New America Foundation speech, AT&T CEO Dave
Dorman described some of the pain AT&T has gone through over the
past five years in migrating from five separate networks to one
massive
IP network. It's a multi-billion dollar annual project, which is
still ongoing. But AT&T believes that pain is necessary to
position itself for the emerging all-IP, converged telecom world.
I think they are dead on.
The incumbent local phone companies haven't yet made the same
commitment AT&T has. Instead, they are pushing a vision that
removes the pressure for change.
UPDATE: Right after
I posted this, I read Ted Shelton's analysis
of the economics of starting a VOIP telco. He pegs the initial
capital costs at just $8,000. This illustrates the discontinuity
I'm talking about.Bad news, good news.

Why it's good there are no ads on
Scripting News
03/23/2005 08:15 AM
Last night I had a
brief phone talk with Steve
Gillmor. I told him I had finally figured out why it's good that
there are no ads on Scripting News, and then spaced out on saying why
(our conversations are often like this, lots of ideas back and forth,
we never quite finish most).
So I thought I would explain here.
First, consider yesterday's edition. Among the
top items are three that are clearly anti-Republican. Now if you
support the Republicans, no matter how much they abuse your trust
(heh, sorry bout that), and I was running ads, you might think that,
by reading this blog, you were helping finance someone who you
disagree with politically. I wouldn't have much chance of talking to
Republicans.
However, because I'm not running ads, and have no reason, other
than wanting to influence more people, to seek more readers, you can
relax and have fun, maybe mutter to yourself when you see me
criticizing the President and the Speaker and Majority Leader, people
you admire and respect, people who should of course have their own
blogs, btw.
That's not to say that blogs-with-ads are necessarily bad, but
ads on Scripting News are not for me. As I said in yesterday's podca
st, I'd happily pay money to get some ideas heard more, so
for me, it's consistent to run Scripting News ad-free.

09/30/2002 01:19 AM8 Reasons Why Google News Is a *Good* Thing
Dave writes how he's not impressed by Google News. Exact post:
Google PR sends a message that they have a new News service. Maybe
I'm slow this morning, or maybe I'm spoiled, but what's the big deal.
I thought they already had this. My personal aggregator is better, it
shows me what I'm interested in, it's not one size fits all. Help me
figure this out. I'm sure there's something innovative here, I just
don't see it.
Permalink
From a technical perspective I'm not sure that there is a lot that's
new here. I still think this is huge though:
My aggregator is just that mine -- I heavily tilt it in favor of tech
/ blogging / highly ecclectic stuff. I don't get general purpose
"What's Going On" news -- and, sure, that's my fault. So what? A
personal aggregator is always or at least often going to be this way.
Google is giving me a much more balanced viewpoint. That's huge.
Google is integrating foreign and U.S. feeds into one composite
display. Given that there are differences in how U.S. media report
stories versus foreign media, this makes it very apparent and that's
good. The U.S. media is not always right.
The user interface is highly functional -- I could easily see my Mom
using Google News. I couldn't see her using a "traditional"
aggregator be it Radio, AmphetaDesk, Drupal or another.
The concept of aggregation is fundamentally important and one of the
very real contributions that UserLand made to us all. Still
aggregation doesn't mean squat beyond a small group of folks. Google
News will introduce the concept very widely.
Everything is very clearly time stamped i.e. "55 minutes ago".
It's not going to get confused when someone re-edits a url they've
already posted so the same thing shows up as new repeatedly.
A Caveat. Google's reputation is such that I feel that they did a
good job of picking the news sources which is particularly important
for foreign information. When I caught the Indonesian bombing news
this morning, I trusted the sources that Google chose to show me since
they're from Google. Now that may be naive and perhaps it is but a
lot of us will do that.
They aren't relying on XML feeds so they aren't dependent on news
sources that lack feeds like Voice of America. And while there are
lots of ways to build these, it's generally non-trivial.
Google News isn't going to replace my aggregator any time soon but it
is a good tool that I can see myself using regularly.
