Wireless Philadelphia launch

Wireless Philadelphia launch 04/08/2005 06:35 PM
Yesterday, I attended the press conference at which Philadelphia mayor John Street (that's him in the photo) announced the formal launch of Wireless Philadelphia. This is the city-wide wireless broadband network that has been the source of both so much excitement and so much angst on the part of incumbents.

As Street, and Philly CIO Dianah Neff (the force behind the project) made clear, however, the city isn't just blindly trying to replace private connectivity providers. Philadelphia has established a separate non-profit corporation, which will contract with private companies to build the network. It will then offer the network as an open wholesale platform, with third-party service providers offering the retail connections to end users. That means carriers, ISPs, and hotspot aggregators will all benefit from the city's investment, not compete with it.

No city money will be spent on the project. All costs will be covered from revenues. That's right; the network won't be free. It will cost an estimated $16-$20/month for unlimited access, which is a bargain considering that you can pay $10 just to surf in one Starbucks for a couple hours. The city will be a customer of the wireless network for its internal communications activities, which is expected to save it $2 million per year in telecommunications costs once. And as Street and Neff pointed out, there are all sorts of potential ancillary benefits and services to be delivered on top of the connectivity platform.

It's exciting to live in the place that it pioneering something that I'm confident all major cities will want to do within the next 5-10 years.

By the way, we're organizing a workshop track at Supernova on municipal broadband. The activity around municipal wireless in particular is just too great to ignore. And this decentralization of connectivity and broadband policy is a perfect example of the Supernova themes.

Corporate Email Is Expensive Thanks To
Data Retention Laws

Corporate Email Is Expensive Thanks To
Data Retention Laws 04/26/2004 02:38 PM
While we've all heard stories of companies getting burned by informal internal emails that say something that looks terrible when it shows up in court years later, the various requirements for companies to store old emails is proving to be quite expensive. Certainly, the cost of not complying with the regulations can be quite costly as well, but just managing so much email - and finding the appropriate emails - is proving to be a tremendous added expense for some companies. This article makes me wonder if Google shouldn't look to offer an enterprise version of their Gmail system. Already, Google sells a box that companies can use to search their internal corporate network - so, why not offer a similar enterprise email offering. That way, searching and sorting through tremendous amounts of email is likely to be much less burdensome. Still, you have to wonder if all these stories of emails coming back to haunt people will drive certain executives to move to other channels of communication that aren't recorded - whether it's outside email accounts, instant messaging, or just simply talking on the phone or face to face.

All 50 states make some level of corporate and business filings available online. In a few instances only limited information (such as name availability) is retrievable. The majority of the states, however, use their Web presence to disseminate a range of public business records -- and most of them offer access at no charge. This update adds information for one state and one commercial service, corrects an indexing error and reflects changes that have been made in the previously listed databases. The scope of this roundup does not yet include tax filings. Taxing authorities are mentioned for two states (Maryland and New Jersey) because they offer the only online route to business organization and trade name information in those jurisdictions. Unless otherwise stated, each database listed below is free. This has been added to Business Intelligence Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
