It would be better for consumers if Apple began licensing its digital rights management software, only because the iTunes Music Store will not be able to lock up access to all the copyrighted music in the world. But RealNetworks' conetnion that Apple is stifling freedom of choice is self-serving. By New York Times (via MyAppleMenu)

Digital Divide Among Kids Is Shrinking

Digital Divide Among Kids Is Shrinking 09/17/2004 11:55 AM
For all the talk about the "digital divide" and how poorer kids weren't getting access to the internet that would be important to their ability to get jobs in the future, it looks like much of the problem is going away. Nearly all children in the US now have some form of internet access, though, there still are differences in how they access it. It shouldn't be much of a surprise to find out that wealthier families are more likely to have internet access at home for their kids. Either way, this is clearly a positive step.

China Gets Wired... But Digital Divide
Exists 07/21/2004 02:54 AM
The internet is growing in China, as they now have 87 million people online, though they are apparently connecting through just 36.3 million internet connected computers. The number of Chinese netizens puts them firmly in second place, though just about everyone expects them to take first place before long. That 87 million represents just 6.6% of the population, which may point to a bigger issue. While the US worries about the "digital divide," it looks like a much bigger issue in China. Internet usage is much more common in more developed areas, and many seem worried that less developed areas will get left even further behind. While the Chinese government has tried to go online, the study found that most such sites are unused, and many government officials prefer not to use their own websites. None of this is particularly surprising, but it's still interesting to see the data.

Quickly 12/04/2003 02:25 PM
It seems that every other week a report comes out saying that the digital divide is a problem, followed the next week by a study saying that the digital divide isn't a problem or is going away. This must be the second week. The UN has put out a report saying that the digital divide among nations is decreasing much faster than anyone anticipated. While there are still gaps, the study found that, even in many very poor nations, people did have access to things like a telephone, if they needed to use it. Still, that doesn't mean the people are actually using the technology, but it does suggest that the problem isn't one of getting infrastructure built.

Bridging The Gap Between Broadband Video
And The Television

Bridging The Gap Between Broadband Video
And The Television 02/16/2004 02:51 PM
Lots of stories this morning about Akimbo, the new company that is working on a PVR style device that aims to bridge the gap between broadband content and the television. Right now, of course, there are things like TiVo, which will store live television broadcasts. There are also online sites where you can stream or download video content. What Akimbo is trying to do is create a TiVo-like device that downloads video content from the internet for later viewing on your television. It's an interesting concept, though it faces a variety of hurdles. First, the pricing is fairly similar to TiVo, with a $200 box and a $10/subscription fee. People are going to have to see real value before they're willing to double their set-top box fees (the company admits they want to build their technology into other offerings, though). This leads to the second concern: content. Is there enough content online (or can they convince enough publishers to release content online) to make this enticing? They're initially focusing on niche content providers, mainly because those are the only people likely to agree at this point. They're also locking up the content with Windows DRM technology - which may upset some users, but probably isn't a huge issue (other than convincing bigger content providers that their content is safe - which it probably isn't). There's also the issue of time. It sounds like you'll have to set up your preferences and then wait some time (overnight?) until the content is downloaded. While this may work in some instances, it might not appeal to the "I want it now" crowd. Finally, you have the bandwidth issue. With companies like Comcast putting soft or hidden caps on their "unlimited" bandwidth, and others (like SBC) starting up tiered service levels with limited bandwidth, how will they deal with people having their Akimbo boxes downloading all this content all the time? One interesting aspect, though, is that they intend to have future versions of the device allow people to upload their own content to the system. While this also raises the bandwidth issue (and many providers have pretty narrow upstream pipes), it opens up many more possibilities and focuses more on using the internet as a way for people to connect and create their own content, rather than simply being consumers of broadcast content. If anything, this sounds like a feature of a future PVR system, and Akimbo may become more like TiVo - creating the market, but not leading it.
