A Business Model For WiFi Aggregation
A Business Model For WiFi Aggregation
01/09/2004 09:50 PMRobert X. Cringely's latest column discusses
his idea
for a killer WiFi aggregator business model that makes some sense
- but could be very difficult from some significant reasons. He
correctly points out the problems with current WiFi aggregator
business models: they have way too little coverage and way too many
players have their hands in the pie. For each dollar spent at a
hotspot, a portion needs to go to the hotspot owner, the owner of the
network and the aggregator (and potentially others) - and there just
isn't that much money being spent at hotspots in the first place. His
solution is that we need more hotspots, and the way to get more
hotspots is to give away the equipment free. Basically, have a
company that will give you free WiFi equipment in exchange for adding
your hotspot to their network
and giving you free access to the
entire network. This way, he believes, an aggregator would quickly
get to one million hotspots and pretty much guarantee the necessary
level of coverage. The money, then, would come from others who pay
the subscription fee to get on the network - and since the coverage is
so great, and the aggregator no longer needs to share that revenue
with the hotspots, people will be willing to pay up. Maybe. I'm
certainly a fan of leveraging "free" in a promotion to build a
business model, but not when that "free" is very costly. In order to
get this going, the company would need to give away those million
access points (and, probably, handle tech support for them) before
they start making money. While you can bet they'd get a volume
discount (and APs are getting cheaper every day), it's still a pretty
big capital chunk to eat. Then, there are two other big problems I
see. First, which he brushes off, most internet providers say sharing
your connection is a violation of terms of service. Sure, there's the
Speakea
sy exception, but it's still not too common, and I'm not so
convinced (as Cringely is) that they'll just rollover when they find
out what's happening. The second problem is much more fundamental. I
now have two choices if I want to use this fairly vast network of
access points: (1) pay a monthly fee or (2) offer to host my own
hotspot - where I get free equipment and free service. Guess what I'm
going to do? Is there any reason not to get their free equipment just
to get free access everywhere else? Who are the suckers who are
actually going to pay for this service instead of just signing up to
be a provider?

lib.org/pubs/brogan/brogan2003.pdfThis 100-page
report, commissioned by the DLF, provides an overview of a diverse set
of more than thirty digital library aggregation services, organizes
them into functional clusters, and then evaluates them more fully from
the perspective of an informed user. Most of the services under review
rely wholly or partially on the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting of
the Open Archives Initiative (OAI-PMH). Each service is annotated with
its organizational affiliation, subject coverage, function, audience,
status, and size. Critical issues surrounding each of these elements
are presented in order to provide the reader with an appreciation of
the nuances inherent in seemingly straightforward factual information,
such as "audience" or "size."

08/11/2004 02:01 PMLet me say this upfront. What Jason is spelling out has several
problems - which he also perfectly elucidates.
What he doesn't say is "that for all this to happen" - you need a
COORDINATING company to make sure it all works. That's obvious.
I'll put my own answers to Jason's issues - IN BOLD AND
CAPS - but I think you'll all see that Jason PERFECTLY spells
out a realistic DLA scenario - thats' totally open and doable - by
year's end.
Here we go.
Here's Jason's post called
"Some "Web as platform" noodling"
In the
discussion of Flickr and Feedburner's
spliced RSS/Atom files, Harold said:
I'm beginning to think that feeds (and content tagging)
should be the starting point, not an offshoot. Until now, our tools
have produced web pages then feeds. I'm thinking we need tools that
create feeds and then let us combine them into web
pages.
To put this another way, a distributed data storage system would
take the place of a local storage system. And not just data storage,
but data processing/filtering/formatting. Taking the weblog example to
the extreme, you could use TypePad to write a weblog entry; Flickr to store your photos; store
some mp3s (for an mp3 blog) on your ISP-hosted shell account; your
events calendar on Upcoming; use
iCal to update your personal calendar (which is then stored on your
.Mac account); use GMail for email;
use TypeKey or Flickr's
authentication system to handle identity; outsource your
storage/backups to Google or Akamai; you let Feedburner "listen" for new
content from all those sources, transform/aggregate/filter it all, and
publish it to your Web space; and you manage all this on the Web at
each individual Web site or with a Watson-ish desktop
client.
Think of it like Unix...small pieces loosely joined. Each specific
service handles what it's good at. Gmail for mail, iCal for calendars,
TypePad for short bits of text, etc. Web client, desktop client, it
doesn't much matter...whatever the user is most comfortable with. Then
you just (just! ha!) pipe all these together however you want with
services (or desktop apps) handling any filtering/processing that you
need, and output it to the file/device/service of your choice. New
services can be inserted into the process as they become available.
You don't need to wait for Gmail to output RSS...just pipe your email
to Feedburner and they'll hook you up.
There are, of course, plenty of hurdles to overcome:
- Currently a bit hard on wallet. When you're paying $5-20 per
month for each one of these services (in addition to $50/mo for
broadband and $45/mo for your cell phone), living the connected
lifestyle is expensive. If a company like Google can offer bundles of
these services, it might get cheaper.
WHY JUST GOOGLE? FIRST OF ALL - WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING WAS
CALLED HAILSTORM - AND MICROSOFT MIGHT JUST GET TO IT - TOO - ONCE
LONGHORN SHIPS AND WE DO ALL THEIR R&D FOR THEM.
SECOND OF ALL - I THINK BEFORE GOOGLE GETS THERE - MY
COMPANY BROADBAND MECHANICS
WILL - IN ADDITION TO OTHERS. YOU ALSO DIDN'T MENTION DRUPAL OR SOME SORT OF FRAMEWORK (MAYBE
EVEN IBM'S NEW 'ECLIPSE' AS MIDDLEWARE) THAT PULLS ALL OF THIS
TOGETHER AND PROVIDES COMMUNITY FEATURES.... COMMUNITY SITES ARE
EXACTLY WHERE A BUNCH OF GEEKS - WORK TOGETHER - AND GET THIS ALL TO
WORK - FOR PARTICULAR AFFINITY GROUPS, TARGETED VERTICALS AND LOCAL
REGIONAL ACTIVISM.
- Data needs to be portable. If Flickr starts to suck, you should
be able to easily move all of your photos to a better service.
DUDE - FLICKR AIN'T GONNA EVER SUCK. IT
ROCKS.
- Redundancy and failing gracefully. What if Blogger is unavailable
when I want to rebuild my Web site after my Flickr photostream has
been updated (see my MTAmazon
plug-in problem)? Does the rebuild just fail or is the data cached
somewhere?
AMEN BROTHER - STABILITY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. THAT
DOESN'T HAPPEN BY DEFAULT IT TAKES HARD WORK - WORK THAT SOMEBODY HAS
TO PAY FOR.
- You need to get everyone to agree on interop/formats/etc.
Fortunately, it seems like companies are a lot more willing to do this
than 4-5 years ago (Amazon, Google, Flickr, Upcoming, & TypePad
all have APIs or allow data output via RSS/Atom).
NOW LET'S SEE? WHAT
THE HELL HAVE
I BEEN DOING
LA
TELY?
- Security. Lots of passwords and personal information will have to
be passed around for all this to work. How about some commitment from
these companies to keep this data as secure as they can?
HAVE YOU HEARD OF SXIP -
YET? THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE ARE COMING TOGETHER - RIGHT IN FRONT OF
OUR EYES!
This, then, is the promise of Web services. Nothing new, but it's
nice to see things continue to head in this direction.
RIGHT ON TO JASON FOR WRITING THIS. MAJOR BOOKMARK TIME!
I LOVE IT WHEN SMART PEOPLE DO THE WORK FOR ME.

07/20/2004 11:08 AMSmall Tree Communications released a
free 30-day trial of
its
Link
Aggregation software on Monday. Link Aggregation uses a process
called trunking to combine multiple Ethernet ports into one virtual
port that balances bandwidth utilization and automatically switches
the data stream to a working port in the event one of them fails. The
software runs on a G4 or G5 Mac running Mac OS X v10.2.7 or higher and
equipped with at least two Ethernet ports and an IEEE 802.3ad
compatible Ethernet switch. Pricing for the full version of Link
Aggregation is US$299 for two ports and one group, $499 for four ports
and two groups and $699 for unlimited ports and groups. Bundles with
one of Small Tree's multi-port Gigabit Ethernet cards are also
available.
