Chinese Let More Local Companies Play

Chinese Let More Local Companies Play 01/06/2004 01:19 PM
On the heels of announcing that only a Chinese-bred Wi-Fi standard will be allowed in China and only Chinese companies can license it, the government has allowed nine more licensees: The names of the new companies have not been released yet and the total licensees is now 20. Foreign companies can make the gear but only with a co-production deal with a Chinese company. Plus, foreign companies must pay their partners to integrate the Chinese standard into their gear while Chinese companies get the license for free. This whole situation is so ridiculous I can't even comment on it. What would happen if the rest of the world tried to prevent Chinese companies from making Wi-Fi gear?...

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls

Local Phone Companies Want To Block
In-Coming Mobile Calls 08/16/2004 05:00 AM
The telephone system works because the owners of various networks agree to accept calls from other networks. What would happen if one network decided not to accept calls from certain other networks? It looks like folks in (or calling into) Iowa may find out at some point. The East Buchanan Telephone Co-op announced plans to block all calls from mobile phones to its customers, but he Iowa Utilities Board issued a two-week injunction to stop them from actually going through with it. Unfortunately, the AP article on the topic is a little short on details, but some good ones are provided over on the Interesting People list which gives some background on interconnect fees. Basically, what appears to be happening here (which is not at all clear from the AP article) is that the Co-Op in question is not satisfied with the interconnect rates they're receiving, and this is more or less a way for them to go on "strike" until the mobile carriers agree to pay up. Of course, you'd have to believe that the mobile carriers are in a much stronger position, having a lot more cash, and (in general) being somewhat less concerned if calls are getting through to certain landlines in Iowa. Meanwhile, the customers of the phone companies in the co-op would immediately blame their own phone company for blocking perfectly reasonable calls, and may even push them towards competing phone companies. It is a way for the Co-Op to make some noise to try to get the much bigger carriers to settle this business dispute, but they're clearly coming from a much weaker position. Of course, it also seems highly unlikely that regulators would actually let these phone companies block calls for very long, as the last thing they want to do is give other small telcos any ideas that might put up all sorts of walled gardens in the phone system. Of course, this wouldn't really be all that different from the VoIP world, where Adelphia and Frontier were recently (purposely or not) blockin g VoIP calls from AT&T.

Are Tech Companies Ungrateful?

Are Tech Companies Ungrateful? 12/12/2003 02:03 PM
Michael Kanellos usually writes interesting opinion pieces for News.com, but this time I'm a bit confused by his thought process. He's claiming that tech companies are ungrateful to the US government. His reasoning appears to be that the US government funded much of the research that became the internet, and now we need more money from them to keep doing more research and to remain competitive, but we're trashing their every move to try to regulate the internet. This doesn't make any sense. The reason tech companies are complaining about recent legal moves by the government is because we're so grateful for what they had done originally, and realize that they're making mistakes that are going to screw it all up. Criticizing their current legislative actions are designed to make things better so that we can remain competitive. No where does it say that just because you accept some money you need to sit down and shut up. What the tech companies are saying is that, despite all the money that was given, the government is now making policies that will negate much of the good that was done with that money.

Are Tech Companies Selling Out To
Hollywood? 01/19/2004 01:44 AM
Dan Gillmor is noticing a disturbing trend of tech companies agreeing to the entertainment industry's demands to include various copy protection mechanisms in what they sell. He talks about boycotting HP until they change their mind (though, he doesn't seem to mind Apple, who also promotes copy protection technology). I'm not as worried about all of this as he is - as I still believe the market will work this all out. The more these companies agree to lock down their machines, the more incentive there is for other companies to come along and offer products that let consumers do what they want. For example, he mentions TiVo's silly lock-down mechanism on their TiVo-To-Go offering. While lots of people have been trashing their plans to lock the content down via a dongle of some sort, the story I heard from CES was that they've announced this as a way to make their investors in the entertainment industry stay calm - but knowing full well that by the time they launch it, they will probably have to ditch the protection plan. The idea was to announce the product with the lock-down system, wait until there was news of other, competing products that don't use such a scheme, and then release their own product without the lock-down, and tell people they needed to respond to what the market was telling them.

Just How Loyal Are You To The Companies
That Provide Your Tech?

Just How Loyal Are You To The Companies
That Provide Your Tech? 09/20/2004 01:24 PM
While there are plenty of different ways to judge a company's prospects, one interesting element to look at is how "loyal" buyers are. Of course, loyalty may be tough to judge, and simply buying from a company (even repeatedly) doesn't necessarily show loyalty -- as a buyer may end up buying regrettably because there's nothing else available. However, here's a study of corporate IT buyers, where the folks behind the study go out and talk to various buyers to get a real sense of where their loyalties lie, and it suggests which companies might be vulnerable on loyalty. While Dell, Microsoft, Cisco and Oracle scored well (almost all of which may surprise some people), Apple, Intel and PeopleSoft faired poorly (which, again, is likely to surprise people). Of course, more details would be useful in determining what the real issues are. Loyalty can be a function of a variety of things, but it's interesting to see so many often-criticized companies on the "good" list, and so many companies that have good reputations on the "bad" list.

Are Universities Too Close With The Tech
Companies Who Donate?

Are Universities Too Close With The Tech
Companies Who Donate? 11/11/2003 12:53 PM
An interesting look at the large tech companies who donate money, equipment and software to universities, and whether or not it unfai rly biases university curricula in their favor. At the heart of this matter, of course, is Microsoft, who has donated a ton of money to colleges and universities. The universities defend the relationships, saying, basically, that the money is needed - and the companies doing the donating tend to be the technologies that people need to know in order to get jobs after they graduate. In the end, that seems to be the core issue. If the point of the education is to help students get jobs after they graduate, and learning this technology can help them do that, then there isn't a huge problem. If the point, though, is to learn the basic skills across a broad range of technologies, so that they can take that education and go in different directions with it, then the deals may be problematic. Figuring out the right balance is important.
