Next, Jump Back and Forward, Home and a Menu Item button all supplied

Michael Powell Reflects
Michael Powell Reflects
08/27/2004 01:28 PMIf
Michael
Powell is still chairman of the
Federal Communications Commission this
time next year, no matter who is elected president in November, it
will come as a major surprise. Powell hasn't announced any plans, but
in several recent public appearances he seemed more in a valedictory
mood than anything else: reflective about his seven-year tenure at the
commission, including the past four as chairman.
At the
Progress and Freedom
Foundation gathering today he talked at length about some of what
he considered the less-known achievements, including what he called a
major shift in the way the staff operates. And he warned, as he has
again and again, that regulation in the Internet age should be done
with the lightest possible touch, or else we risk a long delay in
seeing the Net reach the potential it should.
Powell was among friends here. The PFF is a free-market oriented
organization, and you could almost hear the members of this audience
thinking
Amen to themselves as he spoke.
His message does resonate in many ways, and it always has even when
FCC policies tended to belie the words. Entrenched incumbents have
gone to great lengths to keep their advantages.
Again today, he spoke of a broadband revolution that will be much more
than just two data pipes -- DSL and cable -- and fiercely competitive.
There's no doubt that the commission under his leadership has made
some excellent strides in wireless, particularly in pushing more use
of unlicensed spectrum.
But some FCC decisions have tended to reinforce the long lead the Baby
Bells and cable companies already have, giving them the right to
establish an entrenched position in true broadband, as opposed to the
pathetic imitation we have today. And Powell is plainly in no mood to
help competitors get any traction on those pipes. (He's also been
craven in his kowtowing to Congress on the "indecency" issue, which he
must find an enormous waste of time. If so, he should have said so.)
Upcoming rules governing voice over Internet Protocol will be one of
the defining moments of the next generation of communications and the
policy that will govern it, Powell said. VoIP is either a voice
service, subject to myriad old-fashioned regulations, or its just
another Internet data application, he observed. If it's just data, the
implications are huge.
Powell, asked to say what he's point to in his running of the FCC as
key achievements, was quick to list initiatives to change the nature
of the organization itself. The staff now looks forward, not backward,
on regulatory issues, he said, with special attention to how
technology is changing the landscape. And there's regular internal
training to keep up -- including an internal "university" the staff
lawyers must attend.
I wonder what government would be like if top appointees were all as
smart and thoughtful as Michael Powell.

On the subject of cheese...
12/06/2003 06:42 PMThis may sound like a bit of an advert, but frankly I don't care.
You have to be able to express joy in the things you like - I think -
whether they be commercial or not. Only let me say that I have
received no money or free merchandising for the following glowing
endorsement. None at all. Not even the tiniest sliver of perfectly
ripe brie...
Every year shortly before Christmas I pop into Neal's Yard Dairy and get
a selection of cheeses to take up to my family in Norfolk. It's become
a bit of a ritual. There's something really primal and satisfying
about bringing food back for a significant meal - particularly one so
associated with the winter solstice and the rebirth of the sun (oh and
all that Christian stuff I guess). So to do my part, I go into Covent
Garden's most well-stocked and sensually stimulating shop, sample a
dozen cheeses (they'll let you try everything)
and then buy a representative sample.
This sounds more like an advert than I'd feared, but let me
continue anyway... The wonderful staff will recommend the Stilton
that'll be at its best at exactly the right time, they'll tell you how
to store your cheese (FYI: in a cellar or on a window-ledge - not in
the fridge because it'll dry it out) and they'll even label each
perfectly paper-wrapped block of cheese you buy - so that you can
order them again or look them up later in your favourite cheese tome
(I bought my father a book of cheese so that he can investigate the
whole issue in more detail - I believe it's been a tremendous
success). In a nutshell - it's one of the most pleasant experiences of
my year and I heartily recommend it. Plug over. Well, nearly...
It occurs to me that this is an ideal topic for a random poll, so
here we go: What's your favourite cheese?

Viagra. Lowest mortgage rates. Hot XXX action. As seen on
Oprah. [...] Those four phrases and six more topped the list of the
most commonly-used subject lines for junk, or "spam" e-mail in 2003,
Internet service provider AOL said Wednesday.
And consider this:
During calendar 2003, AOL blocked nearly 500 billion spam
messages from reaching user inboxes, an average of 40 fewer such
messages per day per subscriber account. The company said it regularly
blocks 75 percent to 80 percent of incoming mail as spam.
4 out of every 5 emails bound for AOL are spam. Crazy.
