It was all giggles and light when comedian Jay Leno took the Consumer Electronics Show stage last month to help Microsoft's Bill Gates introduce the latest features of his company's MSN service. But behind the scenes in Las Vegas, the rollout of MSN Premium -- a $9.95-per-month add-on for anyone with a broadband connection -- was anything but a laughing matter. Market leader America Online has already debuted AOL for Broadband, a zippy package of broadband services for $14.95 per month.

Nevermind broadband -- many First
Americans don't have phone service

Nevermind broadband -- many First
Americans don't have phone service 04/10/2004 01:59 PM
Comments from an NPR listener who heard a segment I did for "Day to Day" on the president's promise to make broadband accessible to all Americans by the year 2007. Eric Martin says:

Phone penetration on reservations just passed the 50% mark within this decade and even where there are phone lines on US reservations a lot of them are old copper lines that can't handle dial-up. So before Bush goes and gets the rest of the country hooked up with high speed, he should make sure that all Americans, including Native Americans, have basic phone service. John Edwards wasn't lying when he was talking about two Americas.

There are some interesting stats on the lack of phone penetration in "Indian Country" on this FCC website.

Verizon broadband data service reviewed

Verizon broadband data service reviewed 03/23/2005 08:10 PM

I'm a reasonably frequent visitor to my parents' house in Bethesda, Maryland.  Mom and Dad are both Harvard graduates and consequently have little trouble recognize the utter worthlessness of something developed to a large extent at MIT, i.e., the Internet.  There is thus no high-speed Internet connection in their house and their neighbors apparently share the belief that Internet is not worth paying for because there are no wireless networks from which to steal.

Frustrated at having to drive to a friend's or sibling's house every time I wanted to check the weather or email, I signed up for an $80/month Verizon data card.  Washington, D.C. area is one of its flagship service area, promising "typical speeds of 300-500 kbps, capable of reaching speeds up to 2 Mbps".  Getting the PC 5220 card to work at all required a couple of calls to Verizon tech support, which, unlike Vonage and Lingo, involved minimal hold times and knowledgeable staff.  I needed to download a newer version of some software, which, of course, required an Internet connection...

How does it work?  The average throughput on the "broadband" network here in D.C. has been 50-100 kbps at most.  The software shows that at one point this computer achieved a peak rate of 450 kbps but there are long dropout periods when the rate is 0 kbps.  Most distressing, the service only lasts for 10-30 minutes, after which time this supposedly "always-on" service turns you off and you have to manually disconnect and reconnect to get back on.  Sometimes the software is smart enough to notice that you are disconnected and a little box comes up in the bottom right of your screen noting the fact of the disconnection.  Underneath the note are the words "Verizon: We never stop working for you (R)".

On balance the service is somewhat similar in feel to a 56 kbps modem except that you never know if that 3-second wait for a Web page is going to turn into 60 seconds because you've been silently dropped from the network.

Using Windows XP it is sometimes necessary to reboot the machine in order to switch from 802.11b to Verizon or vice versa.

On Monday Microsoft announced that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) had replaced its Linux Web server with a Windows alternative to save costs and improve its Web offering. "RICS's decision to migrate to Windows will see reduced costs, improved content management and integrated back-office systems with its Web portal," claimed Microsoft.
