Finnish mobile operator offering free

Saunalahti is offering a free weblog to all its GSM subscribers. You can update your weblog using MMS messages, Nokia Lifeblog or internet.

SaunaBlog. I like that name.

However, they seem to have lifted the entire description of what a blog is directly from Wikipedia without attribution, which, as far as I can tell, is a GNU FDL violation. Wikipedia.fi has more.

Also, looking at a sample blog, it seems that they are claiming copyright on anything that anyone writes on their own blog, and apparently they're not making you even agree on a license before you use the service. This is simply wrong - you simply cannot assert copyright on something that you don't own. If you write a blog, you own its content - regardless of who hosts it.

Saunalahti seems to be pretty lax about copyright issues. This will bite them in the ankle, I'm sure.

12/02/2003 12:34 AM
T-Mobile Austria is acquiring the 300-hot-spot strong Metronet.at (press release is in German): T-Mobile is continuing to expand its international presence through acquisition of Metronet. T-Mobile has partnered with Metronet on roaming since 2002. Metronet is the fourth-largest European WISP, according to their press release. "This deal is therefore bringing us a large step closer to the international objective of providing W-LAN around the entire globe," explains Dr. Georg Pölzl, Managing Director of T-Mobile Austria. T-Mobile Austria charges €7.95 per hour, €15.95 for three hours, or €24.95 for 24 hours. This is enormously higher than the same rates charged by T-Mobile USA. T-Mobile customers can pay via SMS at €1.99 per 15-minute unit, but the service is currently free to subscribers....

Recording Industry To Sue Mobile Phone
Operator Over MP3 Playing Phones


Recording Industry To Sue Mobile Phone
Operator Over MP3 Playing Phones
06/03/2004 01:45 PM
Back in April we had what we hoped was an April Fool's joke: that the Korean music industry had forced mobile phone operators to make their MP3-playing mobile phones destroy MP3s. The plan was originally to force the phones degrade the quality of MP3s, but eventually a plan was worked out to force the phones to delete any MP3s after 72 hours. Apparently, none of this was enough, and the industry is now looking to sue. With all the success of both broadband and wireless technologies in Korea, it's amazing that an industry could be so backwards to believe that they can actually grow a market by breaking the applications that people want.

More Writers Offering Books For Free
Online
04/29/2004 02:42 PM
It appears that it's not only musicians recognizing the power of free publicity from putting their content for free online. While this article ignores the success of more recent authors to release books online (Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig, etc...) in conjunction with their hardcopy release (as well as a number of authors now experimenting with releasing chapters of their books in progress), it appears that a more mainstream novelist, Matthew Reilly, is now releasing his latest novel online for free. He's releasing it in sections, rather than as a single download, but his theory is that it will help get him a bigger audience from readers who previously didn't know about him, or who were unlikely to find his books in bookstores. He hopes that it will encourage people to go out and buy his other books (this is his sixth book, and some of his earlier novels were apparently "best sellers"). Also, his publishing company will publish a hardcopy of this book later this year, after it's already completely free online. Apparently, the idea was entirely his, but his publishing company thinks it's a great idea - though, it may have helped that Reilly sold them the publishing rights for a $1 to get rid of the risk. It doesn't seem like my usual reading material, but if you're interested in what he describes as a "Tom Clancy-Michael Crichton" hybrid, you can download the first two sections of his book at the Hover Car Racer website.

In what could be a sign of things to come, Microsoft Corp. is offering a small sweetener to its Software Assurance licensing program. From this week the company will allow servers used for disaster recovery to carry copies of its Windows server software at no extra cost. A key condition is that the server must be used only for disaster recovery. Microsoft defines such servers as "cold servers", i.e. ones turned off until a disaster arises. The "cold server" provision will be applicable for the remaining term of any two- or three-year Software Assurance contract and is not perpetual.

Owning The Content Is A Disadvantage In
Offering A Mobile Service
03/31/2005 07:20 AM
One of the bad ideas coming out of those who believe that content is king in the mobile world is that new wireless carriers that are content owners will thrive. That's leading to odd predictions, such as the idea that Time Warner will make a good MVNO just because they have content. Wasn't that the rationale for AOL's merger with Time Warner? We all remember how that turned out. The fact that they have content is meaningless. First, no one is buying a mobile phone for the content specifically. However, much more importantly, for the to be value in the content, it has to be equally accessible to everyone. As content companies like Disney, Time Warner and Universal try to launch their own mobile carriers (as MVNOs), people are going to start to wonder why they can only get their Disney content from DisneyMobile. What if they want some Disney content, some Sony content and some Universal Studios content? Will they need to buy three separate phones with three separate plans? The internet works because anyone can access any content no matter who their service provider is. That openness is what makes it worthwhile. Locked up content, walled gardens and exclusivity only serve to decrease the value of each of these services across the board.

SK-Earthlink Links South Korean Mobile
Operator, Earthlink Networks
02/01/2005 09:13 PM
Mobile operator SK Telecom and Earthlink Networks launch 3G/Wi-Fi combo firm: Sky Dayton is the CEO of SK-Earthlink, a new MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that will sign up end users with the promise of integrated Wi-Fi and third-generation cellular data networks for voice and data through a single handset. Dayton founded Earthlink and Boingo Wireless. SK Telecom provides service to 18 million customers in South Korea, and their sister company in the SK Group, SK Teletech, makes advanced handsets for domestic use and internationally to China, Israel, Kazakhstan, and Taiwan. Dayton said in an interview today that SK Telecom offers a remarkable array of handsets including units with hard drives, five megapixel cameras, and satellite television broadcast receivers. "Not all those things are going to be applicable in a US market," Dayton said. The service will attempt to leverage the growing availability of 3G networks with the increased ubiquity of Wi-Fi hotspots. Dayton says that although handsets and service plans won't be available until as late as the end of 2005, that generally SK-Earthlink would focus on allowing its customers to make voice calls from home Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi hotspots, and 3G cellular networks. They would also leverage Wi-Fi alongside 3G in offering advanced data and entertainment services, although he did not mention specifics. "We think there's a big group of Internet savvy early adopter" consumers in the US who want this but can't get it, he said. SK-Earthlink may use Boingo's platform as the base on which they develop hotspot relationships--Dayton will have an arm's length involvement in that decision--but Boingo will certainly also continue to sell to other carriers regardless. Other reports note that SK-Earthlink will use CDMA technology, SK Telecom's flavor, which ties them closely in the U.S. to Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS, the only two remaining CDMA carriers here. Verizon has already deployed a significant portion of their ambitious EVDO network offering speeds of hundreds of kilobits per second, and Sprint PCS is committed to higher-speed offerings than its current 1xRTT rate that compares to modem speeds. At the same time, Verizon Wireless said recently that 3G will trump Wi-Fi, a sentiment that baffles Dayton. "Wi-Fi is an unstoppable force," he said. "It's like trying to deny there's a big elephant in the room." Both technologies "are great individually, but if you put them together" they allow the best connection wherever a user...
