SBC Pulls Out the Stops in Wi-Fi Deals







SBC Pulls Out the Stops in Wi-Fi Deals

SBC Pulls Out the Stops in Wi-Fi Deals 07/20/2004 02:21 PM

SBC Communications announced a host of Wi-Fi partnerships and deals today to extend the reach of its network and maximize traffic passing across locations they operate: SBC will resell access to its FreedomLink network, which will include 300 Caribou Coffee stores (Midwest and South-central and Southeast coast) as well as the thousands of The UPS Store locations, to iPass, GoRemote, and Syniverse. This reselling agreement will be live by the end of 2004. SBC FreedomLink subscribers will have access to Concourse Communications hotspots (JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Detroit, and Minneapolis/St. Paul), Telmex (400 Mexican locations), and Wise Technologies (an array of retail and airport venues). Access to those locations won't be included in a monthly fee from SBC, but will cost just $4 per day, which is often less than half the cost of the retail prices for those venues. This roaming arrangement will also be in place before year's end. In the same press release, SBC notes that it is selling 3,000 home Wi-Fi gateways each day to SBC Yahoo! DSL customers. They reiterated that later this year, FreedomLink will be offered to its DSL subscribers at a "significant discount." SBC is deploying several tactics at once here, increasing the size of its self-operated network to make the total number of hotspots more appealing to subscribers while also making the network more appealing to resellers. Providing discounted access to other hotspot network is useful for business travelers who may have no compunction about paying $4 a few times a month for airport access. By emphasizing the scale of home Wi-Fi adoption and its coming discounted plan for its millions of DSL subscribers, SBC also makes the network more appealing to new venues considering which hotspot operator to work with....

Kodak Stops Production of B&W Paper


Kodak Stops Production of B&W Paper 06/17/2005 06:17 PM

kodak.vest.jpgNot a big shocker, but Kodak will stop production of black and white paper in 2006. While this may be a blow to college students taking pictures of bicycles in puddles, I'm really wondering how many folks develop onto B&W anymore. Digital is the wave of the future. People will bemoan the loss of "that special B&W feel," but I'm not sure how much of that is real and how much is just convention.

Kodak said sales dropped 25% in each of the past few years, meaning that they're probably just selling to Anne Geddes at this point.

Truck-stops with WiFi thriving


Truck-stops with WiFi thriving 05/07/2004 03:35 AM
Truckers -- who made CB radio into a success in the 70s -- ar enow chasing another kind of wireless. Truck-stops that install WiFi can attract more business from bandwidht-hungry long-haul drivers.
David Maloney, a trucker from Aledo, Texas, is one who'll go the distance to reach a truck stop equipped with wireless Internet access.

"The only time I really get to use any kind of broadband is out here on the road," said Maloney, who recently stopped at a Flying J with Wi-Fi on his way from Virginia to Appleton, Wis. "That's the whole reason I came this far last night."

U.S. Stops Abuse of Prisoner (but only

U.S. Stops Abuse of Prisoner (but only
in Iraq)
05/15/2004 01:12 PM

  • NY Times: Top Commander Bars Coercive Tactics in Interrogation of Iraqis. Mr. Rumsfeld has said that the American military in Iraq was abiding by the Geneva Conventions, and that the mistreatment was the work of a terrible few. But at a Senate hearing on Thursday, Mr. Rumsfeld's deputy, Paul D. Wolfowitz, acknowledged that hooding prisoners or forcing them to crouch naked for 45 minutes — tactics available to interrogators with General Sanchez's approval under the old policy — was inhumane. The International Red Cross had warned American officials for months that Iraqi prisoners were being abused in American-run prisons.
  • A good shift in policy. But as the Times also reporte d recently, it's abuse-as-usual in U.S. jails. When will that change?
