eWeek Pulls Socket Puppet from Lobbying
Firms Hand
02/05/2005 09:27 PM eWeek connects NMRC to Issue Dynamics, a telecom lobbying firm: Wayne
Rash reports at the end of a story about Philadelphia's upcoming
municipal wireless announcement the following blockbuster about the
ties between the New Millennium Research Council, co-issuers of
today's report "Not In The Public Interest - The Myth of Municipal
Wi-Fi Networks." (I've written extensively about this report and its
precursors over the last few days.) Rash writes: While preparing this
story, eWEEK.com learned that the NMRC is actually owned and sponsored
by Washington lobbying firm Issue Dynamics Inc., whose clients include
most of the major telecommunications companies in the United States.
Those companies have been active in opposing municipal wireless and
broadband efforts. The company claimed that its reports were
nevertheless completely independent. I've been saying these folks were
sock puppets for days and criticizing the lack of transparency about
funding among several organizations involved in creating this report,
while still listening to the message. (I had some positive things to
say about parts of the report earlier today.) This should be a major
embarrassment to Issue Dynamics's clients who are now starkly revealed
as the puppeteers. More prosaically, Rash describes the public/private
partnership that Philadelphia expects to use, which is in contrast to
the kinds of entirely municipal efforts decried in the NMRC's report.
Tropos may have the lead as it was involved in a four-square-mile
test. And note throughout the article that Philly's CIO Dianah Neff is
talking about broadband wireless, not "Wi-Fi," as the report
continually conflates. The ever-insightful Carol Ellison also weighed
in about the NMRC report. She summarizes the phone conference about
the release of the report today as, "The rollout of municipally held
Wi-Fi networks will likely have a detrimental effect on city budgets
and on competition." Ellison castigates the press event and the
report, noting, "But while the session promised to fill the gap on the
dearth of in-depth analysis on the subject, it and the report that
accompanied it offered many more sweeping statements about failed
projects than information about why they failed." Ellison shreds the
NMRC for its undisclosed connection to Issue Dynamics: "The NMRC made
a point to say that none of the researchers who participated received
any money from NMRC. But in case you're wondering who's paying the
bills at IDI, take a look at its client list. If you don't want to

featuring

convention. Their site, at

of hate mail. The guys behind it seem to have a good sense of
humor, even though they're sure that porn is "not what God

03/12/2003 03:54 AMThe NYT is reporting that AOL is providing software to customers to
block pop-ups. The sheer number of ironies in this
article is
simply delicious, and renders further comment unnecessary:
1) "AOL pioneered the often annoying but effective pop-up
format"
2) "10 percent of its users had chosen not to receive
pop-ups from AOL's own service, an option that has been harder to find
than the new blocking software." Hard to find? Almost impossible.
3) "the number of sites that will accept pop-ups is
increasing, including ever more sites owned by AOL Time Warner like
Mapquest and CNN.com."

Sock Puppet Talks, Unravels
Sock Puppet Talks, Unravels
03/14/2005 05:47 PM Joseph Bast of The Heartland Institute equates municipal broadband
with socialism: In any discussion in which two parties are
ideologically opposed it is inevitable that the leftists call the
rightists Nazis (or sometimes vice versa and the rightists call the
leftists communists or socialists. Bast is the founder and head of The
Heartland Institute, and he purveys the latest misrepresentation of
the facts surrounding municipal networks. He calls municipal networks
"an experiment with socialism" rather than, as I would expect a true
conservative to do, call anti-municipal bills an experiment with
state-controlled institution of de facto monopolies and duopolies
reducing competition and innovation. "Advocates of municipalization
accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being in the pocket of big
telecom companies." I am not an advocate of municipal networks. I am
an advocate of competition in local markets which municipalities may
have to be involved in fostering or wresting control over despite the
obvious concerns and problems with government offering technology
services. Many of the bills under consideration or passed into law
effectively prevent competition with incumbents in the guise of
restricting municipal networks by disallowing municipalities the
ability to foster FCC-recommended public/private partnerships. I am an
advocate of public safety and homeland security improvements through
better use of technology to replace, supplement, or add to the tools
of fire, police, and rescue, which many municipalities would be banned
from building even if they do not offer any services to the public
under the most severe of the anti-municipal bills. I am an advocate of
libraries and other similar organizations offering Wi-Fi to their
patrons, a position echoed in the New Millennium Research Council
(NMRC) and Heartland Institute co-authored reporter on municipal
networking--Wi-Fi that would be banned under the Texas bill currently
under consideration. I do not accuse The Heartland Institute of being
in the pocket of big telecom. I can't because they don't reveal their
funding. I created a chart, posted weeks ago, that shows the
connections direct and barely indirect between Verizon and all of the
board members of the NMRC and several individuals involved in the
NRMC/Heartland municipal network report. The ones that don't have
connections to Verizon are principally those that do not disclose
their funding, so it's impossible to know. Bast's non-denial denial
doesn't say that Heartland nor any of the affiliated parties in this
report haven't taken money from telecoms. Everything in the...

05/01/2004 11:49 AMNewsweek's Brian Braiker says,
This is a story i wrote this week about Pete the Porno Puppet, a truly
bizarro PSA campaign that XXXchurch ("the #1 Christian porn site")
launched -- it's an ad designed to convince parents to get rid of
their porn stash so that children aren't exposed to it. The irony is
that the anti-porn ad was filmed by smut peddler Jimmy D. Also, it's
creepy as all getout.
Indeed. When I first ran accross the site a month or two ago, I was
surprised to see they were (without permission) posting excerpts from
an
article<
/a> about Hustler publisher Larry Flynt that I wrote for Wired
News. Seeing your work snipped out of context to promote a
political agenda you're not part of is almost as disturbing as...
um... a talking, evangelical sock puppet that wants your porn.

Nothing
new in this report from the incumbent-funded Progress and Freedom
Foundation: This pro-incumbent institute is one of my
favorite because of their full
disclosure of their ties to industry with vested interests. The
report recycles lots of figures and arguments from other sources,
including the familiar "here's a bunch of failed municipal broadband
projects," which actually aren't failures (see earlier post today on
the Free Press's report) and which often involve vast investments for
fiber-optic cabling which doesn't figure in here.
There's a lot of speculation and ideology in this report, and very
little that I can hang onto to talk about that I haven't read
elsewhere, usually in deeper form with more citation.
One place this report is correct is that the Philly business plan
projects $500,000 in capital costs over the four years after the
network is built, which is a little nutty. Given a network of that
scale, about $500,000 per year in capital expense is more likely, but
they also project a fairly high capital reserve which would cover more
than than much expense.
