record of 3.3 million songs in the week since the third-generation
store was introduced. 500,000 of those downloads came in the form of
free songs from popular commercial artists made available as part of a
"Free Song of the Day" promotion to celebrate the store's one-year
anniversary. Last week Apple said the iTunes Music Store currently
sells 2.7 million songs per week. Subtracting the free songs, this
suggests that the store's weekly business may have been slightly more
brisk than usual.

Wayport Raises $20M
Wayport Raises $20M
08/03/2004 12:47 PMWayport reports raising an additional $20 million in private
placement: We try to avoid reporting on routine financial events such
as funding rounds unless the company has critical importance to the
industry or its financial well-being is in question. Wayport told me
about a year ago that they were seeking additional funds in a round
that would allow them to expand their sales force, among other
purposes. That round just closed at $20 million. I'm not surprised
that Wayport was able to raise these funds given their Wi-Fi World
retail model of charging announced several weeks ago, which provides
them a sustainable model from Day One for unwiring McDonald's
locations, for which they have the exclusive franchise contract.
Wayport was also selected as the managed services provider for SBC's
FreedomLink to build out the several thousand UPS Store locations. In
the wake of May's announced Cometa Networks shutdown due to lack of
funds, it's useful to know that Wayport has these additional funds in
hand. Wayport disclosed its revenue predictions in May when they
announced their Wi-Fi World pricing model for partners....
Wayport Metrics
Wayport Metrics
05/25/2004 04:20 PMDuring Wayport's briefing yesterday, they shared key metrics about the
company: It's rare to see this much data from any hotspot provider,
which goes to show the confidence Wayport has in its current and
future businesses. The old saying is, never write your competitor's
business plan for them. Wayport fears no such animal, it's clear,
especially with its Wi-Fi World partnership model ahead of it. In
terms of core connections or 24-hour sessions, Wayport shows 124,000
in the first quarter of 2001, rising to 301,000 in first quarter of
2003, and 645,000 in the first quarter of this year. They estimate
714,000 connections for this current quarter, and over a million for
third quarter. These connections include all direct and third-party
pay-as-you-go and subscriber uses. Wayport also provided its raw
revenue figures for the last three year. The company started with $1.5
million received in 2002's first quarter, rising consistently and
steadily to $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2004. They estimate
$6.7 million for second quarter, $8.7 million for third quarter, and
over $10 million in the final quarter of 2004. The company's CEO
expected to produce about $1.5 to $2 million per week within 12 months
for an annual runrate of $75 to $100 million. Under Wi-Fi World,
subscriber connections ostensibly won't be counted because Wayport
will receive fixed fees per venue regardless of connections. However,
Wayport will still collect walk-up fees for two-hour sessions ($2.95
for two hours) which they will share with the retail venue....

a time that Wayport is exploring new business models for providing

-- not a problem for Wayport because of their non-MS infrastructure.

Wayport Hits 6,300 Locations
Wayport Hits 6,300 Locations
01/04/2005 02:27 AM Wayport has 6,300 locations equipped; 5 million sessions in 2004:
Wayport announced that they have exceeded 6,300 hotspots between
locations with which they have directly contracted and those that they
operate as a managed service, primarily for SBC Communications's
FreedomLink network. The company also said that they had 5 million
connections in 2004, with 600,000 in October alone. Wayport had about
1,000 location at the end of 2003, and a significant subset included
in-room wired broadband hotels with Wi-Fi just in lobbies. Virtually
all new locations are Wi-Fi only in retail establishments. Dan Lowden,
vice president of marketing at Wayport, said in an interview on Monday
that Wayport believes they are now the biggest Wi-Fi network in the
U.S., having exceeded T-Mobile's count, which is just under 5,300
according to T-Mobile's location finder. (This doesn't include
T-Mobile's fee-based roaming partners.) "We're very very excited about
it; it's a big milestone for us. We're excited to be the biggest in
the United States," Lowden said. Lowden said that Wayport is adding
about 150 locations per week. They expect to exceed 6,000 McDonald's
restaurants by third quarter of 2005, pushing their total over 10,000
locations. Because certain large footprints have already been tied up,
such as many coffee chains, and because of Wayport's exclusive deal
for fast-food restaurants with McDonald's, Wayport is pushing into
different kinds of spaces and services. For instance, their deal with
Hertz gives them an alternate presence at airports. And Wayport will
work with venues that may not need public Wi-Fi at all, or it's an
adjunct to the real purpose: private services like cashless
transactions (which they're doing with McDonald's) and security.
Lowden also noted that even with the hotel market so widely built out
with high-speed services, there's still a lot of room to grow or
rebuild. "We continue to see opportunities where folks have had three
or four service providers over the last three or four years," he said.
Wayport's now an established firm with major partners making it easy
for them to bat clean up in cases such as these. The company has grown
fairly rapidly in the last year to handle the new contracts with over
330 employees now, with 150 hired in the last year....
Wayport Progress Report
Wayport Progress Report

sold, soon to be built. In the last six months of 2003, Wayport logged
a 113 percent increase in customer connections--defined as sessions of
unlimited use in one location--over the same time frame a year
earlier. Wayport's revenues for the fourth quarter 2003 grew 87
percent over the same quarter in 2002....

Wayport to be Replaced at SeaTac
Wayport to be Replaced at SeaTac
02/10/2004 02:40 AMThe new Wi-Fi network that AT&T Wireless is building at
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will replace the existing network
which is owned and operated by Wayport: Wayport appeared unaware of
the new network or the impending cancellation of its relationship with
the airport. The airport will own the network that AT&T Wireless
is building and AT&T Wireless isn't charging the airport for the
equipment or installation. The Wi-Fi network comes for free as part of
AT&T Wireless's contract to install cellular equipment that will
improve cell coverage inside the airport. Airport officials have not
decided who will operate the new Wi-Fi network but they are clear
about the future of Wayport's network. "Wayport will depart," said Bob
Parker, a SeaTac spokesman. Wayport has operated the network at SeaTac
for over four years. Its contract ended last year and since then it
has been on a month-to-month contract with the airport. "Wayport owns
those hotspots. We imagine they will come in and remove them," said
John Faulkner, aviation business manager for SeaTac. He hopes that the
Wayport network can be shut down at a time that will correspond with
the completion of the new network to avoid a breech of service. The
new network should be finished by early 2005, though an AT&T
Wireless spokesman said he expects it to be completed before then.
Wayport seemed unaware of the changes taking place at SeaTac. "We know
they're talking to AT&T. We haven't heard anything official," said
Dan Lowden, vice president of marketing for Wayport. "We look to
continue to work with SeaTac in the way we are." Wayport could be in
the running to operate the new network, though it's more likely that
if Wayport is involved in the future network it would be through
roaming deals with the company that ultimately will operate the
network, Faulkner said. As part of the request for proposals to build
the cellular and Wi-Fi networks, the airport gave participants the
option of bidding on the Wi-Fi operations business as well. AT&T
Wireless was one of the bidders that expressed interest in operating
the network but the airport has not yet decided who will operate the
network. "We want to do the business planning to figure out how to
parcel out the network and structure the revenue model," Faulkner
said. SeaTac wasn't unhappy with the service from Wayport but the
decision to build a cellular network...

each other's laundry, or filling out their government mandated and
greatly obfuscated paperwork, or flinging stock certificates around
which may have as little real worth as Federal Reserve Notes. To make
money, to show a profit, you must make products that somebody else
wants to buy, and sadly, that is a capability the United States has
allowed to slip away in great measure.

Legal gay marriages in the United States
Legal gay marriages in the United States
05/17/2004 03:03 PMMassachusetts has become the first state in the US to allow
same-sex couples to get married. Whether it will last or be
crushed under the weight of a Constitutional amendment I don't know,
but it's bloody wonderful in the meantime:
Other towns and cities across the state were also prepared
to wed large numbers of same-sex couples as the law came into force.
The Supreme Court ruling upheld a decision by the state's highest
court. It said that denying marriage licences to same-sex couples
violated anti-discrimination laws.
The Massachusetts ruling has fuelled heated debate across the country
- and the controversy has been particularly intense in an election
year. In a statement, President Bush said he had called on the
Congress "to pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an
amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a
union of a man and a woman as husband and wife. The need for that
amendment is still urgent, and I repeat that call today." His rival
John Kerry - who is a Massachusetts senator - is also opposed to
same-sex marriages, but favours a more limited form of legal
recognition.
I think the issue of gay marriage only started to matter to me when
I realised that many of my gay friends actually wanted to get married.
And on the day when a friend of mine showed me a marriage booking form
online in San Francisco and I started looking for the section for gay
people and there wasn't one - It was all the same form... That
affected me too I think - to realise that while it was clearly an
issue at the moment, the whole point of this battle was about
completely collapsing that difference around relationships. That's a
pretty cool goal...

Al Capone shouldn't represent the United
States
03/19/2003 10:25 PMFareed Zakaria has a great article, The Arrogant Empire, in this
week's Newsweek. Answers the questions, "why are all those foreigners
against us?" and "how can they think that George Bush is a bigger
threat than Saddam Hussein?" I learned a lot from reading it. Highly
Recommended.. Some quotes: In fact, while the United States has the
backing of a dozen or so governments, it has the support of a majority
of the people in only one country in the world, Israel. If that is not
isolation, then the word has no meaning.... the United States will
spend as much next year on defense as the rest of the world put
together (yes, all 191 countries... go back to 1945. When America had
the world at its feet, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman
chose not to create an American imperium, but to build a world of
alliances and multilateral institutions. They formed the United
Nations, the...

07/15/2004 01:55 AMTwo decades ago I had the odd and daunting experience of defending
my undergraduate thesis, on several of Shakespeare's plays, before a
panel of scholars. While hardly as rigorous as the real orals a PhD
thesis is supposed to be subjected to, this encounter was part of what
my department at Harvard required for graduation, and I faced it with
some trepidation.
When I walked in, I was introduced to William Alfred, the
playwright, poet and English professor. I hadn't studied with Alfred,
and had no idea what to expect from the rumpled man. He broke the ice
with a simple question: At the start of "King Lear," Cordelia refuses
her royal father's demand for a profession of love. There's a foreign
phrase that describes her act in legal terms -- what is it?
I'm not sure how many layers of my brain I had to dig through to
find it, but somehow I retrieved the desired answer, the medieval
label for an injury to the royal office: "Lese majeste!" Alfred's eyes
twinkled; my response seemed to satisfy my interrogators' basic
requirement of literacy, and from there, all went swimmingly. (Alfred,
a brilliant and generous soul with whom, alas, I only had a handful of
further conversations, died in 1999.)
Of all things, this distant recollection popped into my head after
I finally caught up with Michael Moore's much-debated "Fahrenheit
9/11." Many words have already been flung across the political
spectrum about the movie. I will limit my contributions to this one
phrase: What Moore has, I think, accomplished, particularly in the
movie's more coherent and better-assembled first half, is an
outrageous and highly effective act of lese majeste.
George Bush campaigned as an informal man of the people, and he did
not carry a very dignified bearing into the Oval Office. (Remember
that strange boil on his face during the Florida recount?) But from
9/11 on, his team of handlers began to weave a cocoon of
larger-than-life pomp around him. Partly, it was what the nation
wanted; it was also smart political opportunism. It has, to be sure,
frayed some since the Iraq war and its attendant scandals. The "Henry
V"-style bullhorn at ground zero struck a chord with many Americans;
the "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier stunt backfired.
But "Fahrenheit 9/11" methodically dismantles this president's
carefully manicured dignity: It says to the viewer, "Pay attention to
the man behind the curtain -- he's smaller than life." The
movie's most indelible sequences are those that show our president as
he really was in the face of the great crisis of 9/11: Not, as we were
told by Showtime'
s "DC 9/11," a stirring take-charge commander, but a passive
photo-op participant who sat paralyzed for achingly long minutes of
"My Pet Goat" rather than take the initiative to say "excuse me" to
the class and leave the room.
My colleague Andrew O'Hehir drew a connection between Moore and Dario Fo, the Italian
playwright/performer most famous for his assaults on the dignity of
the papacy. To be sure, Moore has none of Fo's skills as a physical
clown and only a fraction of his instincts as an entertainer; Fo is an
artist, while Moore is chiefly a propagandist. Still, it's a good
comparison: The two men share a willingness -- more than that, a
ferocious determination -- to strip away the niceties of ceremony from
powerful men so that we can see their misdeeds.
That refusal of deference is, after you get past all the various
problems with "Fahrenheit 9/11" as documentary and as history, what
counts. The TV networks (though they thought nothing of rummaging
through the details of Bill Clinton's tawdry sexual escapades) have
decided to protect Bush from unflattering images. It falls to Moore to
dig up the footage of protesters pelting his inaugural limousine with
eggs, and play it for us again.
By the end of "Fahrenheit 9/11," Moore has flung his own messy
indictment at the presidential portrait, and it won't be easily
cleaned up. The filmmaker is deliberately, methodically,
overflowingly disrespectful at a moment in our history when there's
far too much respect in the land. When the throne holds an ignorant,
incompetent, profligate pretender, lese majeste becomes a patriotic
duty.

What's really wrong with the United
States medical system?
10/30/2003 09:20 PMThe United States health care system is sick. The prices of health
insurance are skyrocketing, 40 million Americans are uninsured, and
more join them every day. The uninsured are often charged
extortionate amounts of money for emergency care and forced to do
without any other kind, doctors are often squeezed to the point of
barely making a living, and the result is unnecessary deaths and
bankruptcy for many. What can be done about this? Some suggest that
the government completely socialize health care, becoming the only
payer for medical goods and services in the United States. Others
suggest "market-based" solutions incorporating tax credits for health
insurance, tort reform, medical savings accounts, and other
"conservative" ideas. However, neither of these solutions address the
real problem. Health care is already a market in the United States,
and a reasonably free market as well! However, it's the wrong type of
market. In this article, I discuss the situation as well as I can
understand and suggest some possible solutions.
