WiFi apples and oranges

WiFi apples and oranges 03/22/2005 03:33 PM

The Economist has an article (subscribers only) quoting me about municipal WiFi networks, like the one Philadelphia is proposing. Local phone and cable companies have been fighting these proposals, even pushing legislation banning cities from deploying broadband connecting for their residents.

The point I make in the piece is that a city-wide WiFi cloud in an urban area is not identical to the wired broadband networks companies like Verizon and Comcast are deploying. In other words, free or cheap WiFi municipal access doesn't automatically kill the private broadband market, because these municipal systems don't provide the same throughput, reliability, or indoor coverage. They help at the margins, for areas that are under-served by the existing broadband options or where those options are too expensive. And they expand the scope of broadband access beyond the home, by covering outdoor areas and public places. They just aren't equivalent to what the private sector is building, and shouldn't be precluded on that assumption.

In case it's not clear from the piece, I'm well aware that nothing about WiFi technically prevents it from being used as a broadband access technology, across large distances. Hundreds of wireless ISPs, mostly in rural areas, use it to provide connectivity where cable modems and DSL aren't available. In a city, though, the environment is different. WiFi can be a piece of the broadband puzzle there too, which is why municipalities are getting involved. I think that's a great thing. However, we should be clear on exactly what capabilities those systems provide.

Golden Apples of The Sun

Golden Apples of The Sun 07/14/2004 11:57 AM
Singer Songwriter Devendr a Banhart recently assembled an amazing mix of music exclusively for Arthur Magazine entitled “Golden Apples of the Sun,” (Pitchfork review) which has the high task of defining the West-cost based "freakfolk" scene. Featuring brilliant new artists (such as the breathtaking Joanna Newsom, Iron and Wine, and Vetiver, among others), it was limited to 1000 copies (all of which are sold out). There should be a second edition, but in the meantime you can listen to the whole album on this player.

It's that time of year again. Christmas shopping is starting to wind down, the days are shorter and the nights are colder and longer.

They are weighing the pros and cons of naming the iPod the product of the year over the Power Mac G5. It's...

Say what you want about how great OS X is, but Apple dropped the ball when it found out there were vulnerabilities in its flagship operating system. It didn't release a patch when the issues became public, didn't ask the company that found the flaws, @Stake, for any time to produce a free fix, and has resorted to spin to save itself further embarrassment.

Apples sues three in Mac OS Tiger
internet leak 12/22/2004 01:26 AM
Three individuals are being sued by Apple for illegally distributing test copies of the Tiger OS on a file-sharing website, Reuters is reporting today. Apple claims in its suit that two different versions of Mac OS X, code-named Tiger, were made available on the Web on or about Oct. 30 and Dec. 8 of this year. The company has said it will ship Mac OS X �Tiger� in the first half of 2005, after previewing it to the Mac community at a trade show last June. Apple said in its lawsuit that the two different versions of Tiger were made publicly available by the men, who were members of the Apple Developer Connection. �Members of Apple Developer Connection receive advance copies of Apple software under strict confidentiality agreements, which we take very seriously to protect our intellectual property,� the company said in a statement. According to the suit, the men released the software on a Web site that employs BitTorrent file-sharing technology, which is used to rapidly distribute large files of electronic data, and is also widely used to distribute pirated copies of motion pictures via the Internet. Yesterday, Apple filed a lawsuit against unnamed individuals who leaked details about new products by posting information on the Internet.
