Cometa: Seattle is a Crucible of Its
Future 04/21/2004 06:22 PM
Cometa Networks is one of the most talked-about hotspot builders, and the least well understood. Their CEO and their VP of sales and business development talked about the present and future dispelling some of the mystery: In an interview today with Cometa Networks' CEO Gary Weis and vice president Jeff Damir, the two executives provided context for their recent decisions, apparent setbacks, and their future planning. Cometa Networks is a hotspot infrastructure builder, signing contracts with venues to build Wi-Fi network locations that they also provide technical and customer service for, and then resell access to those locations to service providers such as aggregators (like iPass, with which they have a relationship) and cell carriers (such as AT&T Wireless). I've been one of the strongest critics of Cometa's ongoing development in part because of the initial hype (not all theirs) and the ongoing obscurity with which they have proceded. I came away from this interview quite convinced that Cometa's plans are much more in line with how the rest of the industry has matured and the needs of both venue owners with whom they must negotiate and service providers to which they have to sell their offering. If anything, Cometa and Wayport have swapped places: Wayport is aggressively building as many as 17,000 hotspots in the next three years under contract, while Cometa's Weis and Damir said they are looking for the right partners to more cautiously build out a network in which every hotspot has the value that their upstream service provider partners want. Weis joined the firm in March 2003, several months after its public launch. Weis stated at the outset when asked about the previous projections of Cometa's network growth, "I have taken a lot of time to work with the team we built to get it right, if you will, instead of shooting from the hip and talking off the cuff." Even though Cometa started serving McDonald's locations around the time Weis joined the company--as part of the publicity associated with Intel's Centrino rollout--the main thrust of their current approach to which venues to partner with began in June 2003 when the firm decided to start a few months later in Seattle. Weis said that Seattle was selected to "get us more information about what venues are really valuable, not just to our perception but to our service providers' perception." In September, they had 100 locations...

Where should you go for news, research, shopping, and more? We compare Goliaths of the Web to lesser-known upstarts--and discover some surprising results. The Web has been around long enough that even the most adventuresome surfer might end up in a rut, always using the same sites to get work done. So we put up the periscope to scan for the best newcomers and compared them to the Net's stalwarts. In each category, one site emerged as the Best Bet--but that shouldn't dissuade you from exploring the other contenders, all of which offer innovative and useful features you won't find anywhere else.

This proposal to make Israel and Palestine the 51st and 52nd states seems to be serious. While the site explains that it only takes a majority vote of the US Congress to add a state — there's a Constitutional flaw for you! — it oddly says nothing about asking the Israelis and Palestinians.

Masa grabs four stars

Masa grabs four stars 12/30/2004 11:54 AM
Masa, the very expensive Japanese restaurant at the Time Warner Center gets four stars from New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni: Sushi at Masa Is a Zen Thing. Simply put, Masa engineers discrete moments of pure elation that few if any other restaurants can match. It also becomes the first Japanese restaurant in New York to garner four stars from the Times since Hatsuhana in 1983. Bruni's experiences sound incredible, and yet as much as I love sushi, I can't fathom spending $350 per person (not including tip, tax, or drinks) to experience it. Not even if I saved up a dollar every day for year. It sure sounds yummy though. Maybe someday someone will treat me to a dinner there. That would be ideal!
