Napster: From Trading Music To Trading
on the Stock Exchange

Napster: From Trading Music To Trading
on the Stock Exchange 09/19/2004 09:28 AM
Like a phoenix from the ashes, Napster has come back not once, but twice it seems. Since Roxio bought the Napster name and logo a couple years ago at a bankruptcy auction, Napster received a new "lease on life". This time around Napster isn't just a service, it's to become a public company and will be traded on the stock exchange.

Roxio has recently sold off it's CD-burning software business in a move to concentrate solely on selling music online. Using Napster as it's company name, it will allow Roxio to compete with other online music delivery services from the likes of Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Apple.

Roxio's sale of its software business landed them a cool $80 million in cash and stocks which will give Napster a cash base of more than $100 million once the deal closes, expected by year's end.

"One of the most important questions for our investors is, 'Does Napster have the staying power to stay and thrive?' Having the cash answers that question," said Chris Gorog, chief executive and chairman of Roxio.

It will be more than enough to cover Napster until it becomes profitable, Gorog said, "and we're on a clear path to do that."

Let My Spectrum Go

Let My Spectrum Go 08/13/2004 06:07 PM
The topic of open spectrum certainly isn't new. However, it's suddenly getting a lot more attention. Yesterday, the Economist had a nice backgrounder on the debate (though, they screwed up a few facts), and today Clay Shirky has written up a long piece in defense of opening up more spectrum. Opening up more spectrum, especially a lot of the valuable spectrum the broadcasters are hoarding, would be a huge deal, and could be very helpful for a variety of industries and the overall economy. However, as I pointed out yesterday, it's not quite that easy. While it's clear that those who benefit from a world where spectrum is scarce are over-playing the fear of more unlicensed spectrum, interference still is a problem. Shirky cites one test that showed where interference wasn't a problem, but to use that one story to suggest there are no interference problems denies what plenty of folks in the wireless industry see every day. He also uses WiFi as an example that interference isn't a problem -- which is news to anyone who has ever discovered just how much a problem interference can be on a WiFi system (I had to return a cordless phone that disconnected my home WiFi every time I took a call). I'm all for freeing up more spectrum, but the wireless industry needs to do a better job showing how they will deal with the interference issues, and proving that it really won't be a problem. Let them come up with real solutions to the interference problems people see every day, and then, absolutely, let's free up more spectrum.

FCC Opens More Spectrum 09/10/2004 10:51 AM
The FCC released 20 Mhz of spectrum that can be used for 3G and other wireless services: The spectrum comes in 5 Mhz-wide swaths, which means it is suitable only for certain applications such as 3G or Flarion's Flash-OFDM technology. IPWireless and vendors of WiMax gear, however, require wider swaths of spectrum so in their current forms at least they wouldn't be possibilities here. I shudder to think of the process of distributing this spectrum. This is prime real estate that lots of people would like to get their hands on....

The End of Spectrum Scarcity

The End of Spectrum Scarcity 03/06/2004 02:06 AM
That's the title of an article I co-wrote with Greg Staple, a Washington telecom lawyer, in the new issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine.  We explain how "open spectrum" technologies could, with the right regulatory decisions, massively increase the usable capacity for wireless communication.  More spectrum is also coming from conventional sources like FCC reallocation. 

It's hard to overstate how big a deal this could be.  Cingular just spent $41 billion for AT&T Wireless, allegedly because it desparately needed more spectrum.  And we're not even imagining the applications and usage scenarios that will develop when wireless capacity goes from being expensive and scarce to virtually free like computer cycles.

The FCC has started rulemaking to add unlicensed use of 3.650 to 3.700 GHz: The spectrum would be reserved, it sounds like, for unlicensed wireless ISP point-to-point use to increase their available backhaul bandwidth. Usage would requite cognitive radios to reduce interference with the licensed satellite use of this band. [link via Dewayne Hendricks]...

Spectrum wrap-up

Spectrum wrap-up 03/13/2003 10:22 AM

I had a lot of fun at the Spectrum Conference, and overall it was a great learning experience. Cory's notes over at BoingBoing were better than actually attending, as he whittled down hours into a few choice paragraphs and quotes. While some of the legal details sailed over my head, there were interesting discussions about technology and implementation issues. Much of the debates revolved around taking either a commons approach, where anyone can do anything with the spectrum and we'll think of ways to regulate it as needed, and the property approach, where segments are auctioned off to the highest bidder to own and do whatever they want. The moot court near the end of day one pitted one group vs. the other, but overall was a mishmash of ideas. I'm surprised the commons folks don't use more examples from all over the world, where unlicensed spectrums seem to reign supreme, and I was surprised at the weak arguments presented by the property folks who claimed there would always be room in a profit-driven model for a small commons.

The crowd split on the approaches, with every technologist, software creator, and wifi-loving laptop owner siding with a commons approach, while the straight laced older generation of washington policy types seemed big on the property side. Numbers wise, the pro-property folks were definitely in the minority, and from a quick visual survey of the room, I'd say anyone born after the dawn of unix time (Jan 1, 1970) was a commons supporter, so my guess is that property's days are numbered.

Coursey's Spectrum Skepticism

Coursey's Spectrum Skepticism 03/06/2004 02:06 AM
David Coursey at ZDNet AnchorDesk picks up on our IEEE Spectrum article about the coming spectrum explosion. 

David's job is to be cantankerous and pick fights.  So I'm not offended by his comment that "My immediate reaction to [the article] is, 'Keep dreaming.'"  He acknowledges that we make a convincing case; he's just skeptical the spectrum-rich future we paint will arrive quickly or without tradeoffs. 

I'm not sure where exactly we disagree.  The IEEE Spectrum article isn't a lyrical vision of infinite bandwidth; it's a point-by-point account of where the new capacity will come from, and why we're confident it's coming.  Even if you don't believe the more exotic technologies we discuss, such as ultra-wideband, will have any significant effect, there is still a huge amount of spectrum coming on the market from simple FCC reallocations. 

The kick from the unlicensed technologies will indeed take some time to manifest itself fully.  But that's like dismissing the Web in 1994 or WiFi in 1999.  If we know that the wireless world is going to be transformed, we shouldn't dismiss what's happening because the process will take a few years. 

I'm gratified that most of the comments to Coursey's column on the ZDNet site defend our original article.  It doesn't help Coursey that he throws in red herrings like the risk of cancer from cell phones and the problems with spectrum auctions.  Our basic argument, that more new wireless capacity will soon be made available than over any comparable period in history, remains unrefuted.
