Are People Using Non-Browser Apps To
Access The Internet? 12/30/2003 04:06 PM
Nielsen/NetRatings is reporting that more and more people are accessing the internet via non-browser applications. 76% of users connect via non-browser applications, with the popular ones being instant messaging and the various media players. I'm not sure why this is a big deal. Lots of people use non-browser applications to reach the internet. This isn't a question of replacing the browser, but other, non-browsing applications using the internet as well, for other, (you guessed it) non-browsing purposes. It really wasn't that long ago that all internet applications were non-browser applications. I'm actually surprised that email applications aren't included at the top of this list. Are that many people really using web-based email applications these days? In the meantime, Jeremy Wagstaff is pointing out that many of these applications are sneakily installed upon startup, so that many users have them connecting to the internet when they don't even know about it, making this study even less meaningful.

Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone?

Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone? 02/19/2004 02:17 PM
I've been asking for a while now, why would anyone want to watch TV on their mobile phones as it reminds me of those portable TVs that were (barely) sold in the 80s and never went anywhere. Add to that, ridiculously slow frame rates, and you have to wonder why anyone bothers. However, Sprint is claiming that they have "steady demand" for their MobiTV offering, which lets people watch TV in slide-show fashion (between 1 and 2 frames per second). Peter Lewis, from Fortune Magazine, decided to test out the service and has a less than kind review of the service. After using it for a while, he says: "The hard part is answering the question, Why?" He concludes that the "experience is basically like watching a tiny, blurry slide show, with lousy sound." Sounds compelling. However, some people seem to be using it, and as the technology gets better, Sprint (and others) expect more people to be staring at their mobile phone screens all the time. I can maybe see it catching on for live events (sporting events, live reality TV possibly, major breaking news...) but other than that, I really do wonder if people will really go for this, or if it's just a fad (like the portable TVs in the 80s). Especially with the ability of TiVo to record shows that you want to see when you're out and about, there are fewer reasons why someone needs to be watching TV right this very second. Thus, the only remaining use is to kill time while you're waiting for something - and TV in its 30 minute increments isn't the greatest solution for trying to kill five minutes.

Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory?

Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory? 08/31/2004 03:37 PM
There's been a lot of talk over the last few months about the potential for a mobile phone directory. Many in the industry have been pushing for it, though, consumers fear for their privacy. Already sick of telemarketers on their landlines, they don't want to start receiving such calls on their mobile phones as well. Those supporting the directory want to set it up so that you can only request the number based on a name, rather than get your hands on the entire directory -- which, in theory, should eliminate the type of phonebook dialing that many telemarketers engage in. Of course, it just takes one screwup allowing the directory to get out there, and it won't matter any more. The other part of the debate has been over whether such a directory should be opt-in or opt-out. The folks behind it have done a very odd sort of agreement on this, suggesting they could make it "opt-in," but that you will have to pay if you don't want to be included. In other words, a new fee could simply start showing up on your bill, and the way to get rid of it, would be to give out your mobile phone number. The latest in this ongoing debate is a new study suggesting that 52% of users would opt-in to such a directory if it had some privacy protection (just what kind of protection is not described and could make a huge difference). 11% would opt-in even without privacy protection. Of course, the study was done by a company who provides consulting services for the directory assistance industry -- so you have to imagine they have some bias. A big new directory makes it more likely someone will hire them.

Open Access Law: Launched

Open Access Law: Launched 06/17/2005 05:03 PM
Following my whining about a copyright agreement I was asked by Minnesota Law Review to sign (and an update to that complaint: Minnesota was very gracious about changing the contract once I asked them), Dan Hunter of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Michael Carroll of Villanova Law School, and on the Creative Commons board, began pulling together an Open Access Law Project, as part of the Science Commons. On Monday, the project launched. The project has developed and will maintain three distinct threads.

The first is a statement of Open Access Law (OAL) Journal Principles. Twenty-two journals have sig ned on so far.

The second is an OAL Author's Pledge, which authors who published in law journals can take to signal their willingness to publish in OAL journals only. I've sign ed this pledge, and will be working to recruit others as well.

Finally, we have drafted a OAL Model Publishing Agreement that is consistent with the principles of the OAL Project.

We were motivated to launch this project by the recognition that in fact, there is no substantial institutional resistance to open access publishing in law. The major commercial publishers of online journals, Lexis and Westlaw, don't require exclusivity. Any resistance is therefore primarily inertia. Our hope was to coordinate efforts to overcome this inertia, and make access to legal materials cheaper and more universal. Each part of this project will evolve as we learn more about how best to achieve these goals. We're looking for more feedback, and are opening a discussion list for input. You can help this project by encouraging other authors and journals to sign on. If you're a law student, then send an email to your professors asking them to join. The same with law journals you might have connections with. We are eager to establish a minimum set of Open Access Law standards quickly, so that others can begin to experiment with better, more ambitious, ideas. This project is also significant for a more CC-local reason. This is the first project chaired completely outside the organization. I'm grateful to Dan Hunter for his work. His success is a model I hope we can implement elsewhere as well. We've got a million ideas for expanding the commons. But we only have a few overworked souls at Creative and Science Commons to carry them into effect. If we can identify other efficient and hard working souls like Dan to volunteer on a project, we can expand our work more quickly. Ideas welcome.

Open Access STM Literature

Open Access STM Literature
http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3061258

The more than 2,000 publishers offering STM (scientific, technological and medical) literature collectively publish 1.2 million articles a year in about 16,000 periodical journals, but their success is being challenged by the "open access" movement. In the U.K., the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee says that the country's universities should be required to ensure that all their research papers are available free online, and that government-funded research grants ought to include free access to the findings a condition of the awards. In the U.S., the House of Representatives' Committee on Appropriations approved a provision in a bill that backs open access to material published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and the leading research associations of Germany, France and Switzerland have signed the so-called Berlin Declaration calling for free access to research findings. Barbara Meredith, a vice-president at the Association of American Publishers, a trade group, says that the open access movement could undermine the sustainability of the publishing industry, even though the entire open access literature currently represents less than 1% of what is published. The Economist magazine comments: "Prestige has its uses and the open-access journals will, no doubt, establish a pecking-order among themselves fairly quickly. But for prestige at any price, time is probably up.

More Open Access To Digital Content

More Open Access To Digital Content 11/17/2003 04:17 AM
While things like MIT's OpenCourseWare and the new file sharing of lessons from the Berklee College of Music are getting all the attention, the well known iBiblio has been chugging away for over a decade, hosting all sorts of content for free. Years ago, it was known as SunSITE, when it was sponsored by Sun, but it eventually became iBiblio, and is hosted at UNC. It's mostly known for hosting open source software, but is expanding rapidly into all sorts of open content that people all over the world find useful. The guy who runs it seems to understand that there's a value in giving away things for free - and says that he's told folks in the music industry how they're making a mistake in calling music downloaders pirates. He points out that the people who go to the trouble of downloading music are the ones who are most interested in the music, and thus should be the people the recording industry is most excited about.
