Telcos Falling Farther Behind Cable In
Broadband? 03/24/2005 02:23 PM
The ongoing battle between telcos and cablecos for broadband dominance seems to be one where it's much easier to note the mistakes than the successes. A new report is saying that telcos are falling even further behind cable -- which, if true, would suggest that the telcos have squandered a golden opportunity. It's not clear that it's true, though. Other studies have shown that the cheaper price and aggressive advertising practices by telcos have helpe d them close the gap with cable providers, who were first out of the gate in the US with broadband offerings. Of course, part of the problem is that the telcos still don't trust DSL. They never wanted to offer it to consumers initially, and only did so when they felt forced to by cable offerings -- even if DSL is now w hat's keeping them alive. However, the cheap DSL prices aren' t really that cheap and the forced bundling with local telephone lines makes the problem even worse. People are willing to buy cheap broadband -- but all of the strings attached mean that it's just as easy to go with cable -- the supposedly "expensive" provider. Add into that equation the fact that at least some cable providers are realizing that by offering VoIP for next to nothing they can steal away more telco customers, and the telcos need to do something. Right now, it appears their focus is on fiber , fiber and more fiber -- but it makes you wonder if they really would have been able to get away with denyi ng fiber to certain locations if they didn't get the regulatory changes they wanted. If cable were eating their lunch, suddenly fiber would look better, no matter what the regulatory environment.

says Analysys 09/24/2004 03:29 AM
TV content aggregation is not a business for network operators, who will do better to form partnerships with satellite and cable operators to sell TV over broadband. Gross margins on TV can be as low as 20% but operators need TV services to compete with triple-play competitors. Fixed broadband (BB) operators providing TV reduce the net present value (NPV) of their business model over the first five years, according to Analysys calculations for this report. Gambling games are the most profitable entertainment option for network operators. [PRWEB Sep 24, 2004]

Should Web Designers Be Regulated?

Should Web Designers Be Regulated? 09/08/2004 06:16 PM
One of the reasons that the web caught on was that HTML was so easy that, with barely any training at all, anyone could create a website. Obviously, that has its downsides as well, as many websites are dreadfully designed. As accessibility issues become more important for websites, it has some wondering if web designers should be regulated, where official web designers would need specific certification, and couldn't use the title "Web Designer" without it. While the HTML purists might like such a thing, it seems like a fairly silly way of going around and improving HTML. A better case could be made for just showing people how bad design harms their business or visitors.

Political Bloggers Almost, But Not
Quite, Regulated 03/25/2005 01:07 PM

The Federal Election Commission started to extend campaign finance rules to the Internet. According to CNET News.com, the proposed changes would have made any website over 500 readers post government-mandated notices or risk violating campaign finance laws. The original reforms would have imposed Federal rules from decades ago on websites. But at the last minute, the proposals changed.

The explanation for the dramatic changes during the last two weeks, according to one FEC official familiar with the events, is the unusua l public outcry that followed a public alarm that Commissioner Bradley Smith sounded about a pending government crackdown on bloggers. After Smith's warning, an army of bloggers mobilized to oppose intrusive regulations and prominent members of Congress warned the commission not to be overly aggressive.

The regulatory approach was necessary because of "the increased use of the Internet by federal candidates, political committees, and others to communicate with the general public to influence federal elections," according to the March 10 draft.  "If the March 10 draft had gone into effect, it would have been bloggers with pitchforks and torches storming the Federal Election Commission at 999 E Street," said Mike Krempasky, a contributor to conservative Web site RedState.org and co-creator of an online petition on behalf of bloggers

Great news for VoIP companies! Internet Week is reporting that VoIP providers will be able to remain free from state regulation. The final decision was rendered in thanks by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis. It seems that their ability to escape the potential regulation comes from the simple fact that VoIP is not considered to be a true telephone service….

In movies from not-too-many decades ago, we'd see a doctor walk into a hospital room and take a clipboard from the foot of the bed. He'd ask the patient a few questions, check some instrument readings then make some notes on the chart and re-hang the clipboard. After he leaves the room, a friend of the patient would look at the clipboard but be unable to read the doctor's handwriting. This scene could be played for either humor or bathos depending on the writer and director.
