NY AG Buys Google Ads On Keywords Of
Company He's Investigating
04/06/2005 06:28 PMWhile most US courts have determined that there's
no
trademark infringement in buying a search engine advertisement
based on a trademarked keyword, there are still
some
cases going forward. So, it's a bit surprising (though, amusing)
to find out that New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was caught
buying trademarked
keywords promoting his campaign for governor. The keywords in
question were for AIG, the big insurance conglomerate that Spitzer has
been investigating for fraud. From a publicity standpoint, perhaps it
makes sense. People searching on AIG may associate Spitzer's name
with the company, but this is a bit trickier than someone just
trying
to get some publicity off of a popular keyword. Spitzer now
claims it was a mistake, and the ads have been removed. Of course,
what's to stop someone else from buying the same ads, and linking them
to Spitzer's campaign site? In fact, at the time of this posting, it
looks like some random advertiser
has picked up on this story
and is
advertising some random anti-Google site, claiming that
Eliot Spitzer and Google "overstep their boundaries." Once again,
people seem to be trying to make a point through popular keywords.

McCaw Buys Company with Spectrum Assets
McCaw Buys Company with Spectrum Assets
04/28/2004 03:53 PM Craig McCaw has reportedly bought a Texas company, Clearwire, that
has ITFS spectrum assets: The ITFS band is near the MMDS spectrum but
was set aside primarily for educational institutions. During the last
period of interest in MMDS, during the mid-1990s, some companies,
including Clearwire apparently, negotiated with the educational
institutions to use or buy the spectrum. The spectrum wasn't widely
used by the educational organizations that controlled the spectrum.
McCaw has long been interested in fixed wireless broadband. He founded
XO Communications, which owns LMDS frequencies, in the mid-1990s. XO
recently joined the WiMax Forum. ALso, Nextel owns a bunch of MMDS
spectrum that it bought from Worldcom. McCaw has assembled a who's who
list of execs to run the new company, being called Flux. Many of them
are McCaw Cellular veterans and have held posts in other McCaw
companies. Notable are Nicholas Kauser who was the CTO for AT&T
Wireless and currently sits on the board of numerous Seattle
companies; Rob Mechaley, who was one of the founders of RadioFrame and
before that Wildfire; and Gerard Salemme, who has been involved with
several McCaw companies including satellite company ICO. McCaw is
notoriously mum about new ventures so it wouldn't be surprising if we
don't learn details about this one for a while. But with real WiMax
products becoming available in the near future, it would certainly be
fair to suppose that the company may have ambitions of rolling out a
fixed broadband offering using WiMax....

Adware Company Buys Sneaky
Distributor... But Reasoning Is
Questionable
Adware Company Buys Sneaky
Distributor... But Reasoning Is
Questionable
04/08/2005 03:15 PMMany of the various adware companies that use sneaky install methods
often hide behind the cover of their "affiliates." They say that it's
really their affiliates who use a sneaky install process, and
therefore, it's not their fault at all -- even though the adware
companies often turn a blind eye on abuses. In the past few months,
the various adware companies have all been claiming that they're
reforming their ways and are trying to stop dealing with these types
of affiliates -- which is the party line well known adware provider
180Solutions is using to explain their
decision to buy up their
largest distributor, whose reputation isn't squeaky clean when it
comes to sneaky installs. Of course, this doesn't seem to make much
sense. If 180Solutions is upset about CDT, why not just kick them out
of the affiliate program? Why
buy out the company and reward
its owners for being sneaky and (supposedly) getting 180Solutions into
all this trouble they don't think they deserve?
