Emirates Has Wi-Fi

Emirates Has Wi-Fi 07/06/2004 12:07 PM
Emirates airline uses Wi-Fi to connect to Tenzing service: Tenzing had hoped to make Emirates the first Wi-Fi equipped airline to offer Internet access, but Lufthansa and Boeing beat them by a few weeks. However, Emirates is the first airline to use Wi-Fi that was built into the plane during construction. The Airbus A345 was delivered in December with Wi-Fi ready to go. The equipped planes fly from Dubai to New York, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and Christchurch. Tenzing's current generation of service is quite slow compared to Boeings: a maximum of 128 Kbps. Emirates is using their email-only service as well, which provides access just through a proxy to email accounts. Tenzing's next-generation service will increase to about 450 to 900 Kbps in both directions, or even faster depending on an airline's choice of options; it's due in 2005....

Tenzing Scores Emirates Deal

Tenzing Scores Emirates Deal 01/09/2004 09:52 PM
Tenzing, which offers airplane email access, will offer an onboard WLAN for Emirates Airlines: The service will use planes' existing 2.4 Kbps satellite connection so will only allow passengers to send and receive email, not Web surf. Tenzing says that limitation will make the service less expensive for passengers--around $20 for a long-haul flight compared to Connexion By Boeing's $30 for similar flights. Users must download a client before they take off and the service will support most POP3 accounts and some corporate VPNs. This isn't an extremely attractive offering. If someone is willing to pay $20 to use email onboard, they're likely willing to pay $30 to reach the Internet and use any email. Plus, it's a hassle to have to download a client before you take off....

Iranian Nukes 06/14/2004 12:28 AM

Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi recently said:

Iran will not give up its rights to the peaceful use of atomic energy as well as its right to supply nuclear fuel to its power plants.

OPEC's second largest oil producing nation needs nuclear power plants?  Note that Iran also has the world's second largest natural gas reserve.  Hmm.  Maybe they have the world's largest BS reserves they are dying to export.

Iran's blogging boom defies media control: There's an opportunity here for me to spew some long-winded treatise about how blogging is changing the world...but I'll just label this one as "pretty cool" and call it good.

Take one exasperated Iranian woman. Add a computer. Hook it up to the Internet. "And you have a voice in a country where it's very hard to be heard," said Lady Sun, the online identity of one of the first Iranian women to start a blog...

Iranian graphics

Iranian graphics 12/24/2004 12:29 PM
David Pescovitz: Last week, my wife stumbled upon a small monograph of the work of Iranian graphic designer Reza Abedini. Arabic script is naturally beautiful, and I think Abedini's compositions, with text often a central graphic element, are incredibly fresh and emotional. Today, my friend Anne Sanger sent me a link to a great "Who's Who in Iranian Posters" page with links to even more information about the country's happening graphic design scene. Link

"I'm not sure if there is any Cafe for bloggers in other cities, but there is one in Tehran. Actually it's recently opened in a northern area of Tehran and Ive heard that it's quite popular among Tehranian bloggers. It's called Cafe Blog and based on the website, they held some basic technical workshops for their members. There are some photos from their opening on their website."

Update on a previous BoingBoing post: Persian blogger Hossein Derakshan points us to a weblog by Iranian MPs protesting a decision to ban thousands of reformists from next month's Iranian elections.

the good thing is that, apparently, while they have no access to any Iranian TV or Radio, they've embraced weblogs as a great means of a) publishing their announcements and program b) reaching the young Iranians who have long lost their interest in politics whatsoever.

Cracking Iranian codes

Cracking Iranian codes 06/15/2004 10:17 AM

Bruce Schneier has written an interesting article discussing the accusation of Ahmed Chalabi of informing Iran that the US had broken its codes and when Iran knew that the NSA was cracking their codes. He digs into the history of Crypto AG, the NSA and Iran. He links to an article about Hans Buehler, the Crypto AG salesman who was arrested by Iran in 1992 on suspicion that Crypto AG had installed back doors in its encryption machines. There is no conclusion, but this story reminds me of Crytonomicon and the interesting world of information, misinformation and spying.
