Boston

Wired (and unwired) tech at the DNC in
Boston 07/27/2004 06:07 PM
From the NYT, an interesting piece on the geeky underpinnings of the Democratic National Convention's communication infrastructure:

Most cellular carriers are augmenting their coverage in Boston to make sure the surge in traffic does not lead to a rash of busy signals and disconnected calls. Nextel, the official mobile provider to both conventions, is deploying its iDEN network with encryption codes used by the National Security Agency to make sure no one eavesdrops on all the deal making.

The company is supplying modified BlackBerry devices that allow conventioneers to access the Internet wirelessly at high speeds. It has also helped connect the many public safety agencies, which typically communicate over different frequencies. Nextel expects its customers to log millions of minutes on its DirectConnect service, which turns cellphones into walkie-talkies.

"It's like organizing a wedding on steroids," said Matt Foosaner, senior director of Nextel's emergency response team, referring to the arrangements his company is making for the conventioneers. "They are not going to stay tied down to a landline."

Grokster campout in Wired News

Grokster campout in Wired News 03/30/2005 04:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: Wired News's Katie Dean covered the Grokster trial in DC yesterday, camping out with the copyfighters who waited all night to get into the hearing.

For entertainment, the file-sharing faithful brought laptops and books. Disabato also brought an iPod shuffle loaded with controversial music from Dangermouse, a DJ known for causing a kerfuffle when he illegally mixed the Beatles' White Album with Jay Z's The Black Album. He also included a bootleg mix called "Piracy Funds Terrorism," by MIA and Diplo, on his iPod. He brought some small speakers to broadcast the music to others in line but wasn't sure if the security guards around the court would let him use them.

As the night wore on, Seth Schoen, staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ordered five pizzas to be delivered to the Supreme Court. Others took turns going for coffee.

Peer-to-peer software engineer Francis Crick (the grandson of Francis Crick, one of the discoverers of the double-helix structure of DNA) made the trip from Los Angeles. He said if the entertainment companies succeed in shutting down peer-to-peer networks, the case will impair the development of new technologies in the United States.
