Greece gets ready for the return of the
Olympics 08/02/2004 10:05 AM
Greece gets ready for the return of the Olympics by ridding the streets of its stray dogs. don't watch this if you're an animal lover. Or better yet, DO if you can handle it, because it's one of the saddest things i've seen in a long time. Though the government of Athens is denying it is responsible for this, someone is poisoning the city's thousands of stray dogs by putting it in food (naturally, a stray, hungry dog will eat it). The ensuing death does not come quickly. I've always wanted to visit Greece, especially being from a Mediterranean family (experience the roots, and all that) but suffice it to say it's moved to the bottom of the list of places to visit at this point. I've seen better treatment of animals in countries far less developed than Greece.

The First Rule Of The Olympics: You
Can't Talk About The Olympics 08/20/2004 02:25 AM
We've already talked about how the Olympics forced certain radio stations to pull their internet streams because they weren't approved for internet broadcasts of the Olympics, and now comes the news that no athletes participating in the games are allowed to talk about their experiences on websites. Considering the number of empty seats (and the weak television coverage), giving the games a more personal feel, letting the athletes talk for themselves (rather than those sappy profiles on TV) would help people to connect more with the games. That, though, would involve remembering that the games are actually about what happens in the events, and not how much the Olympics can squeeze out of sponsors. Haven't they figured out yet, that if no one cares about the games, no one will want to sponsor the Olympics any more? As for those who dare to disobey and actually talk about their experiences online? The Olympics are threatening to remove their credentials or possibly "take legal action for any monetary damages." Monetary damages? From posting your thoughts on the games? Seems pretty clear just how focused the Olympic organizers are on money instead of the athletes and the contests.

Don't just protect the unconceived:
protect the inanimate! 05/09/2004 02:30 PM
Fafnir of Fafblog has written a good think-piece explaining the logical next step in the Bush administration's campaign to protect the rights of the unconceived: protecting the rights of the inanimate.

This is yknow a huge step backwards for women's health and for contraception and the prevention of abortions. But it is a huge step forward for what we at Fafblog like to call the "rights of the unconceived," which is just a few short steps from what we are really lookin forward to which is the rights of the inanimate.

I have personally spent hours an hours talkin to cans, waffle irons, boxes, printer cartridges and forks and they all dream of one thing: no longer bein treated as second-class citizens in the United States.

The FCC muddies the VOIP waters

The FCC muddies the VOIP waters 04/22/2004 09:11 AM
The FCC's decision to reject AT&T's voice over IP petition isn't just a defeat for AT&T.  It's a dangerous development.  The FCC concluded that AT&T has to pay access charges to local phone companies for VOIP backbone traffic, essentially because the end-user service involved still looks like traditional telephony. 

The FCC claimed it had to make this decision to provide certainty to the industry, and to eliminate incentives for regulatory arbitrage.  Instead, it has created confusion and even more perverse incentives.  The FCC explicitly refused to decide whether AT&T is retroactively liable for some $100 million in access charges it hasn't paid in the past.  And it hung its decision on the fact that AT&T offers no "enhanced functionality" to end users.  The first is simply an abdication of responsibility; the second reflects an unwillingness to acknowledge the flexible reality of voice as a data application.

These steps are bound to produce the last thing the telecom industry needs right now: more litigation.  Instead of keeping the pressure on for what's really essential -- broad-based reform of inter-carrier compensation -- the FCC has ensured that companies will pour more resources into court battles, which will ultimately kick the issues back to the Commission. 

I understand where the FCC was coming from.  They see AT&T trying to game the system.  So they put their fingers in the dike to stop further leakage from the access charge reservoir.  But the pressure for a VOIP transition will only increase.  If it's just a matter of time before the current system collapses, the FCC should put its energy into figuring out the new system.  Rear-guard actions like this one will only make the transition more painful.
