Shifting Trends In Customer Ownership
Between Wireless Carriers And Phone
Makers 04/21/2004 04:47 AM
Nearly a year ago we had a post where we discussed the fact that many shoppers on the market for a mobile phone service focused on what phone they wanted more than what service provider they wanted. So, if they wanted a certain Nokia phone, their choices of service providers was limited to those who sold that particular phone. A few months later we looked at how the carriers should respond to this and one of the predictions was that carriers would start to focus increasingly on white-label phones where smaller, lesser known device manufacturers would build phone handsets to spec and brand them with the carriers name. It appears that's exactly what's happening. The carriers have been doing their best to take the customer ownership back from the handset makers, and it appears to be working. More and more people identify their phone by the brand of the service provider, rather than the handset maker. Of course, the article uses Nokia and Motorola as the example cases of the big name handset makers likely to lose out - and back it up with Nokia's poor earnings. However, the story was written before Motorola posted very impressive earnings due to their handset sales taking off again. Maybe this is one battle that isn't over yet.

It's great to be able to time-shift media, but more and more lately I wish I could media-shift as well. Consider this fifty-minut e interview¹ with Jim Gray, on MSDN's Channel 9. Why haven't I watched it yet? Not because I lack interest, or time, but because the content isn't available in a format that suits the kind of time I have. In this case, the format would be audio, and the kind of time would be walking-, jogging-, or driving-time. ...

Muni Wireless Threatens Control, Not
Consumers

Muni Wireless Threatens Control, Not
Consumers 12/29/2004 01:54 PM
Carol Ellison writes how municipal wireless isn't a threat except to incumbent operators' control of the market: Carol's point is made exceedingly well in this paragraph: That brings us to the second discouraging item—the specious argument that putting the future of these plans into the hands of Big Broadband somehow embraces free market principles and the spirit of competition. The main issue for me with muni wireless is that the municipalities should be focusing on what they do best: right of way and adjudication of a level-playing field. Even if "right of way" is metaphorical for wireless, it's not precisely: cities and counties control towers, hills, and building tops that are ideal for municipal wireless broadband. Instead of offering a commons in which every player has to install their own equipment, competing for physical and spectrum space, offering a "meet-me room" option for letting all players into a level ground--a neutral-host approach--the municipalities remove the infrastructure cost and the friction from competition. Whichis why telco and cable operators hate it. It means that they can't own, be subsidized for, and strangle the infrastructure. Philly's approach sounds like they want to become an ISP. I have argued in this space many times that Philly would be infinitely better served to contract the network to a firm that doesn't offer ISP services, but simply handles installation, maintenance, and fee settlement. Let 1,000 ISPs bloom, from zero-mark-up, subsidized non-profits offering low-income residents service for free or cheap, to Verizon's full-on integrated cable, voice, cell, Internet offering using Philly's network as their final mile. The focus on municipal networks offering the metaphorical equivalent of call completion instead of pure dial tone is an extension of the "smart network" mistake of trying to load telco networks with intelligence instead of capacity. I just read The Broadband Problem, a very good book by Charles Ferguson (the founder of Vermeer and now a Brookings Institute fellow) about bandwidth and the incumbents. His case, in brief, is that technology for increasing capacity over wire has increased at nearly the same pace as other innovation, such as processor power or storage capacity. Thus, we could have 50 Mbps to the home today if the incumbents were in the same situation that Intel, Western Digital, Apple, etc., are. (Ferguson also wrote the self-deprecating and highly entertaining title, High Stakes, No Prisoners, about his naivety and management missteps at Vermeer.)...

Telephone-over-Internet legislation
needs dramatic changes

Telephone-over-Internet legislation
needs dramatic changes 06/19/2004 06:14 PM
“In the rush to insulate Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telephone services from regulation, this legislation fails to consider the implications for low- and middle-income consumers who cannot afford the broadband (high-speed) Internet connections necessary for VOIP services. By exempting VOIP services from virtually all of the public interest obligations and consumer protections that apply to telecommunications services, it likely will diminish the quality and drive up the cost of basic telephone service for those who simply cannot afford to switch to broadband.”
