Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone
Taking The Camera Out Of The Camera
Phone
11/04/2003 07:06 PMWe've had a lot of stories in the last six months or so about
shortsighted companies deciding to simply ban camera phones outright.
In the past, I wondered if such rules would have an
impact on mobile phone sales, but I didn't expect the carriers to jump on
this topic so quickly. Put me in the same surprised boat as Alan
Reiter to hear that carriers are convincing mobile phone handset
makers to
offer
multiple versions of their phones: one with a camera and the other
without. I really thought that with only a few companies overreacting
and missing the point about camera phones, it would blow over, and a
decade from now we'd be laughing at silly companies banning camera
phones. At this rate, that might not be true. This is going to be a
huge waste of money. Designing a new phone will take some money, and
will create a phone that offers less value to the customer (and less
opportunity for revenue for the carrier). However as camera phones
begin to find more acceptance in the marketplace, people are going to
get angry when their boss tells them the expensive phone they just
bought can't be brought into the office. They're not going to want to
buy the version without the camera if part of the reason they're
upgrading is for the camera in the first place. This is a (costly)
over reaction to a technology that will do nothing to stop the real
problem (theft of corporate secrets or invasion of privacy), but will
cost lots of money and anger many people.

01/16/2004 11:01 AMMediaTracker is offering a low-cost way for venues to manage their
hotspots: The management software, ControlAP, costs $149 and can
support several platforms and both external APs plugged into a
computer or an internal wireless card. Because the software is Java
based, it can be run from a handheld with a wireless card. "It's a
do-it-yourself mechanism to control hotspots," said Dario Laverde,
MediaTracker's founder. "The initial target is cafes and small store
fronts." The software enables a captive portal Web page where end
users can sign in or see a welcome page if the hot spot is free. For
now, a cafe may decide to offer 30 minutes of free use, then require
customers to approach the counter where they pay the barista for
additional use. A cafe could also ask customers to buy another coffee
in exchange for additional use rather than set a price based on time,
Laverde suggested. An employee authorizes additional use from a
computer behind the counter where the ControlAP software can be
integrated with existing point-of-sale software. The next version of
ControlAP will support credit card billing. The software logs traffic
and allows a cafe to block URLs or users by MAC address. It can be
used to manage wired connections, too, so a cafe that may have some
wired computers available for customers can manage those together with
users of the Wi-Fi network from the same tool. Laverde says that
thousands of people have downloaded the free version of the software,
which is meant to serve as a trial version because it limits
simultaneous users to five and offers stripped-down features. The full
version of the software was just introduced this week. MediaTracker
isn't alone in the market chasing independent cafes that don't want to
partner with any of the larger hotspot operators, but it does offer
some unique differences from its competitors. Surf and Sip, for
example, offers a hosted hotspot management solution that either costs
$50 per month if the hotspot is free for users, or 25 percent of
profits for a paid location. Sputnik offers a robust solution for
managing hotspots but is designed for the small to medium-sized
hotspot operator that has multiple locations. AirPath Wireless also
offers a hotspot management solution but seems to be targeting larger
hot spot operators--Sprint uses AirPath's solution. NoCatAuth is also
an option but appropriate mostly for technical folks....

04/23/2004 08:23 PMLooking to become a hotspot? Jiwire has published an in-depth guide:
There's no question we get more frequently at Wi-Fi Networking News

install Wi-Fi service but don't know quite how to start or how to

SBC is Hotspot Hero?
SBC is Hotspot Hero?
07/26/2004 12:37 PMThey're late to the game, but they're ready to party: It's a funny
thing. When SBC Communications first announced their FreedomLink plans
last year with plans build 6,000 hotspots over a couple of years, it
seemed like yet another announcement of large numbers with no track
record. Cometa was still on its 20,000 hotspots prediction and had
only a handful. McDonald's hadn't decided its partner and was in
limited trials. Wayport seemed stuck on hotels. And T-Mobile stayed
focused--as it still does--on a few ubiquitous chains. In the space of
a few months, SBC has moved from last man in, to practically first
mover. Let's review: The UPS Store. They will install Wi-Fi in
thousands of UPS Store outlets, which are places that business people
already congregate. This will probably also necessitate a change of
thinking for that mailing and business operation so that they can make
it easier for people to work for periods of time in their stores.
Wayport managed services. They hired Wayport to build out their
FreedomLink locations instead of creating a new division with no
experience in house. Wayport's Wi-Fi World and McDonald's. They're the
first telco to sign up to resell Wayport's McDonald's network, which
will ultimately be several thousand stores over the next couple of
years. Wayport/McDonald's supplier. They're also providing DSL and
other connectivity to many of the McDonald's that Wayport is
disconnected, which is part revenue, part branding for them as part of
the Wi-Fi World co-marketing model Wayport is pursuing. Airports,
airports, airports. They have roaming agreements now for their
FreedomLink users onto Concourse, Wise, Wayport, and (reportedly)
Sprint PCS's airport locations. There are only a handful of major
airports not represented by those networks: SFO and Boston Logan are
the two that come to mind. Pushing Wi-Fi into homes. SBC is selling
3,000 Wi-Fi routers a day to their home DSL users. This will drive
adoption by their users of Wi-Fi. People without Wi-Fi will buy
adapters or new systems because of the ease of sharing. Pushing
hotspots subscriptions to their DSL subscribers. It's a coming, and
it's going to be good--SBC keeps saying in its press releases that
they will offer FreedomLink at a substantial discount to their DSL
subscribers. $10 per month for unlimited use? $8? $15? Who knows. But
it's an audience they've already got and they can offer them
nationwide service with several thousand locations...
A Hotspot on Every Corner

07/29/2004 08:25 PMDetails are sketchy, but New York City may allow six telecom firms to
pay up to $25 million per year to install wireless transmitters on
18,000 lamp posts: The article is full of sturm und drang about health
effects, but the real story is that the city is trying to counter its
dead zones without tearing up the streets. It's unclear precisely what
kind of transmitters these will be, but you can bet your boppy that
the goal will be wireless backhaul for the majority of the points
using mesh or simple point-to-point. This endeavor could bring
massively improved voice, 2.5G/3G cell data, and Wi-Fi into a city
without ripping up all the roads once again or putting giant cell
antennas on every last building. The companies include well-known and
never-heard-of-'em: the New York Post says they are two cellular
providers, Nextel and T-Mobile, three non-cellular companies,
ClearLinx Network Corp., Crown Castle Solutions, and Dianet
Communications. The sixth, IDT Business Services, will provide
telephone service via the Internet. [link via GigaOm]...

MCI's Hotspot Network
MCI's Hotspot Network
03/23/2005 12:40 PM The attention that MCI has gotten from its expanded hotspot network
is bewildering to me: I cover the industry obsessively, and so I know
that MCI is just reselling locations available from Boingo and
Wayport. Still, there have been piles of articles trying to articulate
how MCI's hotspot plan fits into their rest of their operations.
There's a strategic goal there, of course, but the articles--not the
one linked to, however--often confuse the private-label reseller
relationship that Boingo has with MCI (and with Earthlink, Fiberlink,
and other companies without -link in their names) and Wayport with,
well, everyone, with MCI building out a hotspot network a la SBC or
T-Mobile. Although the IDG story linked to says that the service costs
$40 per month for unlimited Wi-Fi/broadband when added to a dial-up
and VPN account, it's unclear exactly how that works as MCI's Remote
Broadband Access FAQ states that wireless charges are in addition to
dial-up charges. Just another way in which it's hard to figure out
what, precisely, something costs....

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
02/10/2004 02:40 AMIt's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this
case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot
in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a
600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a
public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network
will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and
citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes
four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase,
which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities.

either don't post the stories online or require subscriptions from

Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand?
Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand?
05/19/2004 01:26 PMWith the slow rundown of Cometa's clock starting today, which
companies remain standing?: I do have a little ego, and my article in
Feb. 2001 in The New York Times was the first comprehensive piece
written in a major publication about the nascent Wi-Fi hotspot
industry. Several companies were striving to raise funds into the
mouth of the dotcom collapse, which claimed bloated business plans or
too early attempts to capitalize on a technology that only a small
number of laptop users had access to. While researching the story in
Dec. 2000, I spoke to the chief marketing officer of the Aerzone
division of Softnet. Three days after I spoke to him, Softnet pulled
the plug because they couldn't raise the funds to perform the build
out that they'd contracted with airlines and airports to handle. The
firms I interviewed for the article were Wayport, Surf and Sip, Global
Digital Media, AirWave, SkyLink (not quoted), and MobileStar. Let's
start in reverse order. What's clear from examining each of these
firms is that execution and timing mattered as much in 2001 as they do
today: controlling costs and building out a robust network in the
right place can only go so far: users who pay are still required.
MobileStar: While initially well funded, MobileStar had extremely high
run rates. I's technical standards were top notch, but expensive, and
expenses ran far ahead of any potential revenue. They went bankrupt
late in 2001 and had their assets purchased by T-Mobile HotSpot. The
company reportedly went through as much as $90 million in investment
income while producing no more than a couple million in revenue.
T-Mobile has continued to use its brand name and high-level
partnerships to run what is generally considered to be an excellent
network that's overprice for day use, but not far out of scale on
their unlimited monthly plans with one-year commitment. Sky.Link
Internet Plus: A promising Canadian firm with hotel and airports
service, the company disappeared abruptly a few months after my
article came out. It resurfaced briefly with fewer locations before
taking a final plunge. Its history and disappearance are a mystery.
AirWave: AirWave was a small San Francisco Bay Area set of hotspots in
restaurants and coffeeshops that decided that the software they'd
written to manage access points was a better product than the hotspot
business. In 2002, they exited hotspots, spinning off their locations
to...

Stupid hotspot connection processes
Stupid hotspot connection processes
02/10/2004 02:47 AMI tried to check my email during a stopover in Frankfurt from the
Luftansa lounge. Good news -- they have a Vodaphone WiFi
hotspot. But there's one problem. Signing up to connect to
the Hotspot requires that you receive a password on your mobile phone
via SMS. My Sprint PCS phone doesn't work in Europe.
Adding
insult to injury, none of the landline phones here in the lounge allow
outgoing toll-free calls. So I can't even reach the Vodaphone
help line to see if there's another way to log in.
I can understand the convenience of SMS, but why should connecting
your
laptop to a WiFi hotspot need to involve a text message to your mobile
phone? Doing the security over the Net via SSL seems perfectly
acceptable, as it is for virtually all online purchases. It's as
though a catalog retailer told me to go respond to an email in order
to
accept my credit card over the phone.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until I get to Helsinki to connect
(and to upload this post!).
