07/29/2004 01:46 PMFCC Proposes "Private Commons"
FCC Proposes "Private Commons"
09/03/2004 05:49 PMThe FCC is suggesting that spectrum licensees be allowed to let others
use their spectrum in a similar fashion to the unlicensed bands: The
only types of devices that would be allowed to operate in the "private
commons" would be peer-to-peer devices in a non-hierarchical network
that doesn't use the network of the licensee. According to Kevin
Warbach, a one-time counsel to the FCC and now an assistant professor
at The Wharton School, some experts say that if open spectrum is truly
beneficial, then licensees will create it. It seems there are a lot of
doubters that licensees would actually open their spectrum for this
kind of use, but perhaps a few innovative spectrum owners would give
it a try and find success. The FCC envisions that some current users
of unlicensed spectrum would benefit by negotiating with spectrum
owners to use their spectrum as a way to offer a service that is less
crowded and thus potentially more valuable than services that operate
in the unlicensed bands. It's the FCC's plan for avoiding the "tragedy
of the commons," where the shared item becomes so overused that it
loses its value....

Senator Proposes Email Tax
Senator Proposes Email Tax
11/19/2003 10:26 AMOne of the popular ideas that always gets kicked around as a way to
stop spam is to add a "small" fee to every email that gets sent. This
isn't on the basis of any real costs, but simply on the basis of
stopping spam. Now it appears that a Senator is
starting to
push for the idea (though, worded in a way that he can later say
he didn't push for it - if it proves to be politically unpopular). At
a first pass, it may sound sensible, but there are any number of
problems with the idea. First, the added cost of setting up,
monitoring and maintaining such a system - and collecting the "tax"
would be prohibitively expensive. Not to mention the fact that
spammers would simply figure out a way around the plan - and the only
people left paying the "tax" would be folks sending email
legitimately. Running a mailing list would suddenly become much more
expensive as well. It sounds like, so far, most of the problems with
an email tax have been clearly stated, so it's unlikely to go
anywhere. These are all attempts at "simple" solutions - and people
are becoming aware of the fact that spam isn't a simple problem with a
simple solution.

Russia Combines Oil and Gas (The Motley
Fool)
09/15/2004 01:38 PMThe Motley Fool - The invention of the American depositary receipt
(ADR) was both a boon and a curse to U.S. investors. On the one hand,
when foreign companies list their shares on U.S. exchanges, they make
it a heck of a lot easier for the average investor to buy a piece of
Nokia (NYSE: NOK - News), Cable & Wireless (NYSE: CWP - News), or
SAP AG (NYSE: SAP - News) than it would have been if she had to figure
out how to buy shares on the Helsinki, London, or Munich stock
exchanges. But on the other hand, there are the -- to put it politely
-- "inefficiencies" of buying ADRs.

its latest and greatest supercomputer. The 91-teraflop monster, dubbed
"Watson Blue Gene," is capable of cranking out a mind-blowing 91
trillion calculations per second. This ultra-powerful -- yet
remarkably affordable, practical, and accessible -- computing tool is
likely to give IBM a significant competitive advantage over
competitors such as Affymetrix (Nasdaq: AFFX - News), Intel (Nasdaq:

out as soon as you make your first dollar. However, you can offset
some of the gain with any losses from sales of stock. So if you've
made a bundle on Dell (Nasdaq: DELL - News) and have lost a bundle on
Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq: SUNW - News), you can eke out a bit of a
benefit from the loss.
