Strange names are okay

Strange names are okay 05/01/2004 03:23 AM

I got an email from a friend asking if "RSS" is really the best name for the activity of creating and reading XML-based news feeds. I think it is, because if there was only going to be one name for the activity, RSS would have to be it. I can prove it. Suppose you call it XYZ and convince some people to call it that. Then some people will call it RSS and other people will call it XYZ. Unless you can convince everyone to change, which is a very hard thing to do, you're going to have two names for one thing, which is more than twice as confusing as one name.

An example. I use a GSM phone in Europe. I even met the people who designed it. I have absolutely no idea what it stands for and I don't need or want to know.

Another example. In Germany the high speed trains are called ICE. When I got on my first train, the American than I am, I called it an ice-train. The conductor explained that it's an acronym. I-C-E. What does it stand for? Inter City Express. This in a country where the first and only language is German. An English acronym is the name of their high speed rail system, one that they are justifiably proud of.

All around us are things which have incomprehensible names. Eventually that fades into the background and they become new words in our common vocabulary, familiar and happy. Like TV. What is that short for? Tele Vision. What the hell does that mean?

One more. Read the title of this section. Okay. Now think about that for a minute. It's a fairly universal cross-language word for "got it." We all say okay all the time. It's an acronym, right? What is it an acronym for? I bet you'll be surprised.

Free Austin

Free Austin 11/10/2003 10:53 PM
This Austin Statesman story ran last week; if you missed it, it's worth checking out: Austin has a thriving Wi-Fi community, many of whom believe that hot spots should be free. One group of volunteers that will set up a hot spot for venue, sometimes using donated gear. I talked to Rich MacKinnon, the founder of Less Networks and a driving force behind Austin’s free networks movement, and was impressed by his passion and drive. While this article points out that the free hot spots in Austin are often more crowded then the cafes where you have to pay to get online, I still think that ultimately there will be space for both free and fee. The trick will be offering something worth paying for in the fee sites, such as added security or guaranteed bandwidth....

Austin to New Jersey with Wireless

Austin to New Jersey with Wireless 05/03/2004 08:42 PM
New York Times staffer John Schwartz drives his daughter from Austin to New Jersey in search of colleges and Wi-Fi: Schwartz is a keen observer of the Wi-Fi scene, and he writes of his fairly easy process of finding Wi-Fi hotspots along his long route. He includes a bit of found poetry from the Flying J, one of the many thousands of truck stops that are or will become hotspots over the next year: God Bless America / Position Open / Wireless Available. Schwartz started in Austin, and he also filed this article about the work being carried out by Richard MacKinnon, Jon Lebkowsky, and a cast of dozens involved in Austin Wireless City to spread free Wi-Fi across the town....

Free and Easy in Austin

Free and Easy in Austin 11/03/2003 11:13 AM
Austin's free hotspot locations grow: This article implies that Austin is unique, and while it does have an interesting confluence of several trends -- and Schlotzsky's and Wayport are both headquartered there -- there are dozens of free locations in other large cities as well. It seems to be more of a coalescing community attitude, however, that free hotspots make more sense than for-fee ones that's provoked this and similar articles. The Schlotzsky's survey, by the way, is months old, but the company keeps bringing it out. They have both free computer access (via Apple iMacs) and free wireless at their test stores, and their survey showed that six percent of visitors to the stores during the survey came because of wireless access. At $7 for an average customer purchase, that equates to $100,000 in gross additional revenue per store, not overall, as the article implied. But Schlotzsky's should really revamp those numbers given the massive publicity they've received and the length of the experiment. [via Smart Mobs]...

Podcast: On Site with Wayport's CEO in
Austin

Podcast: On Site with Wayport's CEO in
Austin 03/19/2005 02:24 AM

During my visit to Austin this week, I stopped by Wayport and recorded this interview: David Vucina, CEO of Wayport, the leading hotspot infrastructure builder, reseller network, and managed services operator in the industry, lead me on a tour around their new facility in Austin, Texas. I have to say it's quite impressive. I wondered aloud why all the functions of the company were in one place: warehouse, hotspot assembly, customer service, network operation system, system management, and administration. But after taking the tour, it was pretty clear: the company is more like a big IT (information technology) department for hire than, for instance, an Internet service provider.

There are times in this virtual world when it's useful seeing firsthand how things are done. For instance, I was able to see the assembly facility Wayport is using to prep the equipment that goes into the field. They have a separate area for assembling custom McDonald's boxes because they're putting so many of them together. The assembly manager said that they had shipped over 400 hotspot boxes of all kinds in a recent day. They're typically handling site surveys for 25 to 100 sites per week, and that isn't slacking off.

A customer service operator gave me a tour through their CRM software that lets them slice and dice problems in a variety of ways, such as all previous problems that hotel room or how that particular user authenticated onto their network. This is typical stuff for any robust customer service/technical support operation, but the tools are quite nice and the Tier 2 reps have access to very level technical details about the access point or access port.

In the 30-minute audio interview I recorded with Vucina, we talked largely about the hotspot world, Wayport's position in it, and what the company will do when the U.S. becomes largely unwired. We also spoke about the nature of Wi-Fi in complement to 3G cellular data.

You can download the interview as a plain MP3 file [15 MB] or as a ZIP archive of that file [11 MB]

Austin Project Featured at SXSW

Austin Project Featured at SXSW 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
The Austin Chronicle takes a look at the Austin Wireless City Project's initiatives around the SXSW music festival, which happens next weekend: The project is offering free iTunes music to users of the free hotspots set up by the project. In addition, the IC2 Institute, a research unit of the University of Texas, is making a presentation during an Interactive Conference going on in conjunction with the festival. The institute will talk about how everyday people can benefit from connectivity. Howard Rheingold, who wrote Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, will also speak at the conference. Other coverage of the Austin Wireless City Project's efforts include a story written by its co-founder, Rich MacKinnon. He offers a really great description of all the parties that benefit when a venue offers free hotspots. He gives the example of a free hotspot at an Austin restaurant and describes how a consultancy made money to install the router, a printing company was paid to make new coasters touting the free Wi-Fi, MacKinnon's company Less Networks pays a hosting facility to support the hotspot and a PR firm is paid to promote the free hotspots. He notes that even the big companies make money here, including Kinko's which printed a new sign, CompUSA which sold the access point, which was made by Buffalo, and SBC which provides the DSL connection. The list actually goes on, offering a strong argument for the business case behind free hotspots. [both links via Less Networks]...

Austin Works to Trump Starbucks

Austin Works to Trump Starbucks 02/19/2004 12:43 PM
Partners in Free Wi-Fi, Austin Wireless, and Less Networks are offering free music to hotspots users in Austin: The groups have been working together to help local venues build free hotspots. The offering starts today and will extend through the end of SXSW 2004, the music festival. Hotspot users, who don't pay for access, will be able to listen to more than 500 songs for free. Users must have the iTunes player and the songs are available through Apple iTunes music share. Less Networks sees this as a one-up on an earlier Starbucks offering where visitors could listen to a CD for free. The groups have built 25 locations in Austin since September and have 3,600 registered users. Around 100 people log on to the networks every day. Workers don't charge venues for the help in setting up the networks or the software, which lets venues manage the hotspot....
