The number of consumers buying High Definition (HD) television sets is rising at a much faster pace than the number of consumers subscribing to HD programs via their cable or satellite systems. But, according to Kagan Research, the proliferation of HD sets is setting the stage for a programming boom that will approach 94 million subscribers and surpass an 88% penetration in the next 10 years.

AP - Many tall buildings don't have a 13th floor, but a borough says the number can't be skipped on its streets. James Smiley said he would definitely buy a lot in the Summers Glen development if he could change it from number 13 to number 15. He offered to pay the cost to change the subdivision plan, but was rebuffed by New Freedom borough council Monday in a 4-2 vote.

Worldwide Fixed WiMAX Subscribers to
Surpass 7 Million in 2009 07/09/2004 03:10 AM
By the end of 2009, there will be more than 7 million subscribers worldwide using broadband wireless services based on 802.16REVd technology, the fixed flavor of WiMAX, according to Untethering Broadband: WiMAX, 802.20, and Others, a new report from Parks Associates. On June 24, 2004, the IEEE approved 802.16REVd as IEEE 802.16-2004, and the final edited standard will be published in late July. The new standard should encourage further development and innovation in fixed broadband wireless solutions, according to Parks Associates. [PRWEB Jul 9, 2004]

Cellphone companies using number

Cellphone companies using number
portability to rip off subscribers 11/03/2003 01:04 AM
Despite having fought tooth and nail to prevent the imposition of number portability, that hasn't prevented the cellphone carriers from exploiting the FCC's new rules by using them as an excuse to rip off customers with all sorts of fees and charges. I just noticed noticed the charges on my cellphone bill the other day, and when I called up customer service to ask what they were for, the rep actually had the gall to say that the fees had been "mandated" by the FCC, which is patently untrue. These aren't taxes and they're not fees that subscribers agreed to when they signed up for service, and it's unfair to charge extra for the "privilege" being able to take your number with you should you ever decide to switch carriers. Not everyone's doing it, but Om Malik has noticed that the carriers who are collecting these surcharges have been raking...

Tonight (or tomorrow night, ymmv) marks the 2nd Annual Ride of Silence, a solemn testament to those that have been injured or killed while biking on the roads. Begun last year in Dallas in tribute to local ultramarathoner Larry Schwartz, it began as a one-time tribute. Apparently, there was enough National interest to make this an annual event, and this year more than 50 cities in the U.S. and Canada are participating.

A critical mass of photograph
swappers... 03/06/2004 01:55 AM

Everyone at ETCon had a Mac. Or at least pretty much everyone at ETCon had a Mac. And pretty much everyone was using the wifi network in the conference rooms. And - much like last time - loads of people were using Rendezvous to instant message each other in iChat as well as to collaborate on documents using SubEthaEdit. Also this year, everyone was taking photos with their digital cameras. But one thing surprised me - no one was sharing their albums via iPhoto. When I was in Los Angeles I'd bought iLife because I wanted to play with Garageband, but when I started playing with the various applications I quickly realised that iPhoto's rendezvous sharing could be really really interesting and cool in an environment like ETCon. I kept thinking that there would be a whole culture in photo swapping and distributing snaps of speakers, nicking pictures of yourself from other people's computers, finding ways to annotate your own personal experience of the conference with the distributed materials of a few hundred attendees. But there was no such culture there.

There may be any number of reasons why it didn't take off in that environment, of course. One possibility is that people feel different about photos than they do with playlists and music - more proprietorial, more nervous of sharing. Or there might have just been problems with the network. But I can't help feeling that it's a direct consequence of Apple charging for this particular update - and that the critical mass of people that you'd need to make an active subculture around that stuff will now not be reached...

Software That Lasts For Years And Years

Software That Lasts For Years And Years 07/14/2004 06:51 PM
We were just talking about the rise of quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming, and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level "big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed the problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin is now suggesting that people need to start designing "Societal Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though, Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming, though not necessarily the way people view open source programming today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas will actually catch on.

A couple of disclosures

A couple of disclosures 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

I need to make a couple of disclosures, but I want to be as sensitive as I can. I don't want to be part of supposedly open processes that only include a small number of people. They aren't open, you could say say they're "as open as possible," to be generous; or "exclusive," to be really accurate.

Anyway, I've had several email exchanges and one conference call about formalizing the specification for RSS with a standards organization. My position in these private communications is exactly stated in the Roadmap section of the RSS 2.0 spec. I'm basically explaining how it would apply to a formalization process, which I would support. I would not agree to be the chair of a working group, probably even wouldn't make sense for me to be a member of the group. That's all that's happened so far.

Second, I've been helping the evangelists at Microsoft, Lenn Pryor, Jeff Sandquist, Robert Scoble, in formulating a new approach to working with developers. I plan to be open about this too, because my goal here is to help bootstrap a two-party system, and when that's working, a three-party system, and so on. I think Microsoft can exist very well in that kind of environment, but it's going to be a tough thing to pull off, because they're so large, and they're basically a gravity well, largely influenced by their own internal conversation, that it's hard for an average MS person to understand why people outside MS even bother to exist.

And now with so many of them having weblogs, it's going to be hard to keep MS people frrom interfering. But that was the problem with Apple, and Netscape and now Google; and it will be a problem in the tech industry until it's solved. How can an organization be clued in, and still work with outsiders. This could be something David Weinberger looks into at the sessio n he's leading at BloggerCon.
