Wifi-ing the Big Apple







Wifi-ing the Big Apple

Wifi-ing the Big Apple 06/24/2005 09:58 PM

Andrew Rasiej, running for the obscure post of NYC Public Advocate, has put forward a plan that would connect wireless routers on city lamp posts using the city's dark fiber. The total cost would be less than $10/person (= $80M) and would provide free wifi access in public places; businesses and residents would pay about $20/month for basic high-speed service. Of course, the incumbents, always zealous in their protection of the free market (hah!) are lobbying hard to prevent municipalities from providing this service. [Technorati tags: rasiej wifi]...

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy


Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy 07/16/2004 04:50 PM
A few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's WiFi Seeker, a convenient keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced WiFi Spy is a rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform identically.

To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.

WiFi Against Bush

"Inspired by the web site, Bluetooth Users Against Bush, I decided to do the same thing with WiFi.

Here's what you do. Set the name of your wireless access point to 'WiFi Against Bush'. Now, when anyone in your immediate area, such as in your dorm or apartment complex, checks to see what networks are available, they will see your little 'bumper sticker.' It'll piss off Repubs and let other sane folks out there know that they are not alone." [Daily Kos, via Scripting News]

WiFi in the UK


WiFi in the UK 08/09/2004 08:02 AM
According to today's Independent (a UK broadsheet) and Intel, only a 1/3 of people living in the United Kingdom know what WiFi is. WiFi, which stands for Wireless Fidelity, allows mobile users to connect their laptops to the internet and other devices without having to use standard hardwire networks.

The survey, conducted recently, found that many people thought that the phrase WiFi was cockney rhyming slang (e.g. Dog and Bone : Phone) for "Wifey". Other people who participated in the survey answered that they thought Wifi was a Japanese island, or an exotic fruit.

Asides from showing a shocking level of IT ignorance in the UK, the results do highlight Intel's attempts to get Britain wirelessly connected. Combined with a motivation for shifting Centrino packages, Intel is really hoping to raise awareness and get people using the wireless hot spots they've been setting up with BT over the last year. Intel and the Wireless industry would love to see the UK brought up to the same level of wireless proliferation as in the USA.

The idea, of course, is not to pump the internet into your veins (darn!) but to connect the IV drip to a central server that has medical profiles. Now, the announcement goes on and on about security, but how many people would actually feel comfortable having their IV drip governed by a server connected over a WiFi connection?

Beemers Get WiFi


Beemers Get WiFi 05/05/2004 02:14 PM
There have been plenty of stories about techies with a lot of time on their hands adding a WiFi network to their cars, but it looks like BMW (with the help of HP) are going to be the first to rel ease a WiFi-enabled vehicle. The focus is on the incredibly narrow market of those who get chauffeured around, with the idea that those people are important enough that they need to be able to use their laptops in their car. Basically, it's a WiFi access point in the trunk with a GSM or GPRS backhaul connection to the outside world. They eventually expect the price point of such a system to come down so they can offer it for others who may need internet access in the car, such as the traveling salesperson. Of course, you have to wonder what good the WiFi really does? The backhaul is painfully slow GPRS (which, one hopes, HP and BMW will design so it can be upgraded to a 3G platform when necessary). So, why bother with the WiFi at all? Why not just get a GPRS (or 3G) laptop modem and connect directly? Without a compelling application that ties into the vehicle itself (and, as you might imagine, their suggestion that police can beam you a speeding ticket does not qualify), it's hard to see why someone will want to pay extra for this feature. There has been talk of using an in-car WiFi connection to do things like transfer MP3s from your home network while parked in your driveway. Applications like that make a lot more sense than just an internal network to connect your laptop to some slow cellular backhaul.

Second, and much more importantly, this only works on the very, very few flights on which Boeing is offering their Connexion service -- which right now is basically a couple of Lufthansa routes.

Fly the WiFi skies


Fly the WiFi skies 11/07/2003 02:04 AM

While I'm guessing it could be difficult due to airport utilities restrictions and existing telecom contracts, I'd love to see one of the national airlines embrace wifi in terminals. An airline that was wifi-friendly would be known by business people overnight as the airline to take (or at least the terminal to hang out nearby when you fly).

Washington Mutual is the only bank in the states that offers free ATM use for everyone, and it's pretty much ingrained in my family and friends that if someone needs to stop at an ATM to grab some cash, everyone prefers the Washington Mutual one. As a result of their kind gesture, I have explored getting a home loan and business accounts with them (I always do my personal banking at a credit union), solely because I regard them as generous for not charging people pointless electronic transaction fees.

The pro-wifi airline could gain similar publicity and word-of-mouth buzz by offering free, open wireless access points near their gates. It wouldn't cost that much to get a DSL drop near a gate and toss 2 or 3 $99 base stations into the ceiling. Annual operating costs for each airport could be as low as $1k a year, making a nationwide investment for every airport cost only a couple hundred grand (and I'm sure to make it cheaper, a company like Linksys or MS would donate the products if they got to plug them to users connecting). I imagine that whatever airline did it would be an instant hit with laptop users, and geeks would no longer need to search online for what airport offers wifi through whom and for how much. The last time I was in Denver, I noticed three different wifi vendors offering access in the terminal, all for different rates, while most airports I end up at don't offer any at all.

The airline industry is notoriously a cut-throat business and with decreased leisure travel, razor thin profit margins, and pricing wars, a good gimmick would go a long way. It's low cost, high utility, and would please a good deal of people that fly frequently. Eventually the same airline could outfit planes with wireless and be the business airline, but I can wait until that's more of a realistic possibility; for now putting wireless in all their terminals should be the goal.

What do you say American? Alaska, are you in? JetBlue, want to do something even better than TV in every seat? Southwest, you're known for keeping people sitting around your terminals, how about making them happy? United, you've been near bankruptcy for a couple years and we bailed you out, how about giving the people something back for all the money they gave you? Anyone?

Wish-list item: A database that lives on my laptop, constantly updated, with WiFi access points. Doesn't just have to be free access points. This is a project Intel could fund, with contributions from the commercial access providers. It wouldn't be that expensive. I bought a Sprint wireless adapter for my laptop, it works (where Sprint is available), but it's far too expensive.

By the way, the WiFi was down at both Starbucks I went to in Santa Fe. I'd never seen that happen before. And the men's room had been vandalized in one of them. I said to the guy at the counter it's irresponsible to sell iced coffee without a working bathroom. I wasn't joking.

Rhap sody and Linksys Create Wireless Hub.

This is really something. RealNetworks has partnered with wireless networker Linksys to create a Rhapsody-enabled wireless link. This device connects your stereo to the PC over the home’s 802.11b network, with built-in control of the Rhapsody service for subscribers. Awkwardly, it’s called the Linksys Wireless-B Media Link for Music. Geez, why not the Rhapsody Blaster, or the Celestial Wireless Jukebox?linksys rhapsody wireless
device

Anyway, this device is excellent news for Rhapsody users wishing for a better way to get the music streaming more fluidly throughout the household. Of course, if you’ve got a wireless laptop you can access Rhapsody directly from any room. But getting the music into the stereo system has always been a problem, which the LWBMLM (for short—I’ve typed the hideous name for the last time) solves neatly. And if the stereo isn’t your goal, snap on the bundled speakers, place anywhere in the house, and rock on.

Now, transport a few years to the future. Bandwidth is unlimited; the distinction between downloading and streaming is meaningless; music is a service not a product; and we all pay for access to the global media river at the ISP level. Service-specific devices such as the LWBMLM become relics. Until then, bring it on, Rhapsody. And thank you, RealNetworks, for occasionally releasing a consumer-friendly product.

WiFi Hotels


WiFi Hotels 01/24/2004 02:49 PM

The news that every Best Western hotels in the US will have free wireless is great to hear. I don't know if they're doing this based on market research, but personally I will be staying at their hotels as much as possible when I travel now. I searched and searched for Southern California hotels that had free wireless and after giving up on a few places that claimed to but didn't, I accidentally found a Holiday Inn in Orange County with multiple default Linksys base stations in the hotel. I've ended up staying there the last four times I went down to see my family, even though it's a pretty shabby hotel and probably overpriced (it's around $70-80 a night).

It's good to see Best Western recognize this, it's not like I want to just camp out online when I travel, but it's nice to catch up with work and personal email when you get to the hotel at night without having to hassle with dialups and outbound call charges. Knowing that every single Best Western will be equipped will make searching for a simple cheap place to sleep much easier in the future.


Dialup WiFi?


Dialup WiFi? 08/27/2004 03:36 PM
Just because you have a really slow, not always on, internet connection to the outside world, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to set up a home network or surf "wirelessly" on your laptop. Sensing the power of niche (and shrinking) markets, some company has apparently come up with a dialup WiFi hub. That's right, plug it in to a phone jack, have it handle the dialing, and surf away... at 56k, but without wires. Seems almost... pointless. Update: And, as has been made abundantly clear, there are plenty of products on the market that already do this, though, they most are also regular WiFi boxes as well. The point on this one seems to be that it's just dialup.

A wifi hypothetical...


A wifi hypothetical... 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

So here's a hypothetical situation for you. Let's say that there's a Starbucks in the high street. Let's say that this Starbucks runs a wireless network in association with T-mobile. And let's say that they charge for access to this wireless network. Now let's say that above this Starbucks is a flat. And let's say that in that flat is a geek. And let's say that this geek is running his own Wifi node, that he leaves open to the general public and advertises on something like consume.net. So the average customer to Starbucks has two options - the pay-for service supplied by Starbucks or the free one run by the guy upstairs.

Now here's the thing - how long do we think it would be before Starbucks tried to shut him down? Days? Hours? Minutes? And why do I get the feeling that they'd probably be successful in doing so? This seems to be a situation that's likely to crop up in the next six to eight months or so (if it hasn't done so already) so I'm interested - what would the legal implications be?

A sleepy DISH Network receiver


A sleepy DISH Network receiver 02/01/2005 09:15 PM
Now that I'm living in the wilds of New Hampshire, I've been required to turn to satellite for my television reception requirements. My housemates and I ordered the DISH Network and opted for the DISH player with DVR (receiver model 522). After only a few days, we decided that the DVR feature wasn't as user-friendly as TiVo and I purchased a new TiVo. Soon we discovered that more often than not, when we went to watch a taped program, all that TiVo had recorded was a floating DISH Network logo. It appeared that the DISH receiver had (unbeknownst to TiVo) turned off. I called DISH to report the problem with the receiver, only to find out that the DISH receiver is programmed to go into "sleep mode" after four hours of inactivity. Which means that every night it turns off (and most times it does so during the day as well), making it nearly impossible for TiVo to tape anything. The DISH representative suggested I program the DISH DVR to record the same event as TiVo, thereby guaranteeing that the receiver would be active when TiVo began to record, but that seems like a ridiculous solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. (Never mind the fact that with TiVo season passes and wish lists, you don't even know when something you want will be broadcast unless you are constantly checking your "To-Do" list. I pointed out how time consuming it would be to have to do this double-step for each and every show one wanted to tape, but he claimed once I learned how to do it, it would take me only a minute or two at most per program.) I asked the DISH support person if there were someway to turn off the sleep mode, or lengthen the amount of time before the sleep mode became active, but he said that wasn't possible. According to him, the receiver, "is complicated and needs downtime for updates and maintenance." Also according to the support person, I'm the only person who's reported this problem and found the "solution" to double-record unsatisfactory. "DISH Networks has over 10 million satisfied customers," according the support rep. My 1 in 10 million "luck" makes me think I should enter the lottery more often. So my question for you is: Do you have a DISH receiver? And if so, have you experienced this problem? Do you know of any way to hack the DISH receiver so it doesn't go into a standby or sleep mode? And do DirecTV receivers do this? Because if they don't, I'm very willing to change my service. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you may have.

The Dish Player-DVR 921 will have a 250GB hard drive for holding up to 180 hours of standard definition programming or 25 hours of high definition programming, and dual tuners for recording two programs at the same time. Should be out within a couple of weeks or so. [Thanks, Brian]...
