Your New Phone Company Is The Cable
Company?

Your New Phone Company Is The Cable
Company? 05/03/2004 05:18 AM
Cable providers in the US took an early lead in the broadband market, though they've lost a little ground lately due to cut rate prices for DSL from the telcos. However, the cable providers are looking to pull an ace out of their sleeve by promoting their ability to easily provide the coveted "triple play" of voice, video and data through one single company. Many cable providers have been able to do this for a while, but they haven't spent much time promoting their phone service. That's about to change. While the telcos are still struggling to figure out their video strategy (TV over DSL? partner with a satellite provider?), the cable companies are getting ready to heavily promote their VoIP phone plans in conjunction with their TV and broadband connections. They admit that most people still don't know the cable company offers phone service, but they aim to change that soon. Beyond just getting more money out of each subscriber, it also means much less churn for the cable companies, as studies have shown that the likelihood of a customer switching providers drops drastically for each additional service they receive from their provider. While the article doesn't mention much about pricing, it would make sense for the cable companies to cut the prices on the phone service drastically. The additional cost to the companies isn't that high, and undercutting the telcos in their core market has to hurt them. Besides, as the article points out, choosing a phone company is much more of an "emotional" decision than choosing a broadband provider. If the cable companies can win over the emotions of people with very low priced calling plans, they'll more than make up the difference in new customers for their broadband and video services - and the resulting lack of churn.

There have been some sever e allegations about foul play inside of ICANN with regards to the .travel sTLD allocation. Staff, counsel and the board have reviewed these allegations and I am convinced that these allegations are unfounded and have just voted in favor of .travel.

I have talked to several independent participants who are also puzzled by these allegations but I have asked them to dig around for more facts. I will report back if I find anything, but until there is some third party corroboration of these allegation, I would hope people would stop spreading this rumor as if it were fact. I understand that people don't like to give ICANN the benefit of the doubt, but these are quite severe allegations from a single source. Please be responsible.

Is Time Travel Is Possible?

Is Time Travel Is Possible? 03/15/2003 04:00 PM
There was that guy who was supposedly going to have 3rd August 2002 tatooed on his forearm instructing him to come back in time to the Empire State Building on that date should he ever gain access to time travel in his lifetime. Whatever.

What about putting a line in your will and testament to the effect that you will legally force your children to pledge that they will come back in time to meet you should they gain access to time travel in their lifetimes, and they in turn must too must force their children to make the same pledge and so on all the way down your entire line of descendants. Surely by making that pledge today you should be able to make time travel happen. If it is at all possible.

Wow, wait a minute......someone who looks a little like me dressed in an outfit made out of what looks like silver foil type fabric just appeared in my room. Wait...what?....you mean you're my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grea t grandson and you've come back to show me all about time travel? Wow! I just had a quick trip forwards in time to August this year and I blogged it!

LA Sues Hotel Booking Websites Over Tax
Issue

LA Sues Hotel Booking Websites Over Tax
Issue 01/04/2005 06:57 AM
When travel sites offer rooms to end users, they've often prenegotiated a lower rate from the hotels in question. When they do so, they pay tax based on the rate at which they paid for the room -- which seems reasonable. However, when they turn around and sell the room to someone on their site, they charge tax based on the higher selling price. So, where does that extra tax revenue go? Right into the pockets of the online travel sites -- and not into the government coffers who set up the tax in the first place. It appears that someone in LA finally realized this, and decided they want that extra tax money and have sued all the big name hotel booking sites over the issue.

Hotel Room Gadgets Confuse The Best Of
Us

Hotel Room Gadgets Confuse The Best Of
Us 11/18/2003 04:46 AM
While hotels are constantly looking to add funky new technologies to their rooms, it appears that they're facing some backlash from travelers who are pissed off that the technology is impossible to use. If you're using a TV, you basically want to be able to turn it on, change the channels and change the volume via a remote control. You don't want 50 different buttons with tiny, incomprehensible text. Add to that the "special" video check outs and pay-per-view system and people find themselves accidentally ordering movies and checking out in the middle of their stay. Meanwhile, others are having problems understanding hotel alarm clocks, minibars and safes. For a while, hotels were promoting "smart rooms" that would turn on the light and the radio as you opened the door. Unfortunately, when most people enter a room and the lights and radio come on, they get scared because they think someone else is in there. All of these ideas probably sounded nice on paper, but no one seems to think through the real world use case. Gadgets in hotel rooms need to be very simple and straightforward, since people are only going to use them a few times. They don't want a learning curve - they just want things to be intuitive.

Spamming Travel Firm Sues Anti-Spammer

Spamming Travel Firm Sues Anti-Spammer 03/17/2005 03:26 AM
Here's yet another case of a company accused of spamming getting pretty upset when they're called on it. Someone asked a travel company, named cruise.com, to stop sending him spam. They continued to send him spam. He threatened to sue them under Oklahoma spam laws, and featured them on his website. They turned around and sued him for $4 million for defamation and trademark infringement. They might have trouble on both those claims. First, the guy seems to have the spams pretty well documented, including his repeated attempts to opt-out. It's tough to win a defamation claim when the facts alleged are true. Second, the trademark infringement concerns the use of their logo on his website about them -- but, as has been explained numerous times, trademark law is only to protect against confusion, not to give full rights to the trademark. It's quite unlikely that anyone going to this guy's website about how the company was spamming him would confuse the site as one officially sanctioned by the spamming company.

While certainly there was some head scratching over why Barry Diller's IAC bought AskJeeves, statements out of the company today are even more strange. The company has admitted that going forward they're going to be "more selective." Does that mean, they weren't particularly selective at all in buying Ask Jeeves? Apparently so: "We would look at other things but the bar would be higher." Makes you wonder if they're having a bit of buyer's remorse. While they go on to say that Ask Jeeves will be an important part of their strategy going forward, it still seems like an odd, and somewhat disparaging, thing to say about their newly acquired search engine property.
