Thomas L. Friedman, award winning NY Times columnist and author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Longitudes and Attitudes, and From Beirut to Jerusalem, will publish his fourth book, The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, this week. An article adopted from the book, "Itâ €™s a Flat World After All", was printed in the NY Times Magazine today:

In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail for India, going west. He had the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He never did find India, but he called the people he met 'Indians' and came home and reported to his king and queen: 'The world is round.' I set off for India 512 years later. I knew just which direction I was going. I went east. I had Lufthansa business class, and I came home and reported only to my wife and only in a whisper: 'The world is flat.'

Finnish WISPs Roam

Finnish WISPs Roam 11/11/2003 12:59 PM
From the beautifully named city of Espoo, Finland, comes the news that seven Finnish WISPs are roaming freely across their networks starting in 2004: The networks include the cities of Hamina (operated by Haminan Energia), Lahti (Suomen 4G), Mäntsälä (Mäntsälän Sähkö), Porvoo (Porvoon Energia), Rauma (Rauman Energia), Vaasa and the Leppävaara area in Espoo (Netsafir) as well as Vantaa (Vantaan Energia). Radionet is providing the roaming technology. Interestingly, TeliaSonera HomeRun, the largest trans-Scandinavian WISP, isn't part of this deal. HomeRun has extensive roaming agreements across Europe and elsewhere that require fees for their users when outside of the HomeRun network, but retain the single login, single bill convenience....

Where the Bins and the Benches Do Roam

Where the Bins and the Benches Do Roam 06/17/2005 07:12 PM
If you happen to go to Cambridge University you may see one of the new roaming trash bins or park benches. The six bins and six benches are solar-powered and are a £110K (~ $180K US) art project by London artists, Greyworld. The trash bins (although they do not accept trash) roam around an area of the campus and make rude noises, chuckle, or sing if they feel like it's a nice day for it. The benches also roam, but they do not sing. Each bin and bench has a different personality. Some bins like to snuggle up to certain benches while others do not. At certain times the bins may gather to sing a barbershop quartet song. The robots use GPS to help them navigate but do still get into a pickle now and then and have to be rescued. The robots also have an alarm to deter theives and screech if they are bothered. This definately sounds like fun and whimsical interactive robotic art!

Sprint PCS, AT&T Wireless Roam Airports

Sprint PCS, AT&T Wireless Roam Airports 04/19/2004 09:34 AM
With a handful of major and minor airports, the two cell carriers tiny portfolio will have bilateral roaming: This tiny deal represents airports as large as Denver and properties like Salt Lake City that aren't up and running yet, and shows the incremental and tedious steps taken to stitch together networks. The significant fact is that the two networks, which currently mostly resell Wayport locations, are willing to work directly together with bilateral roaming. It's part of a strategy: neither company could possibly have more than a few hundred monthly unlimited customers because it's cheaper to pay Wayport or Boingo Wireless for unlimited access to the subset of locations and then pay as you go on occasion in certain airports. AT&T Wireless charges the absurd price of $70 per month. Sprint PCS, however, is starting their build-out in a big way, and AT&T Wireless resells Cometa locations (though it doesn't list them in its Wi-Fi directory), which aren't yet part of Wayport's networks....

STSN and Sprint PCS Roam Lopsidedly; and
Whither Cell Companies' Wi-Fi Networks?

STSN and Sprint PCS Roam Lopsidedly; and
Whither Cell Companies' Wi-Fi Networks? 02/17/2004 05:02 PM
STSN and Sprint PCS will offer bilateral roaming on each other's Wi-Fi networks. The hitch? Sprint PCS has two locations, neatly avoided in this press release: I spoke to STSN last week about today's announcement, and while they want to position it as bilateral roaming, it's really a resale agreement from them to the carrier unless Sprint PCS follows through on the plan they spoke to me and other press about last July in which they had originally intended to build 1,300 of their own locations. So far, Sprint PCS has built two Wi-Fi hotspots that they own and operate. STSN has over 500 mostly hotel properties in North American, and nearly 200 in Europe that aren't covered in this agreement, with a worldwide total of 900 including a couple of hundred properties yet to be built out. I asked Michael Jones, the senior VP of sales at STSN, whether we would start seeing more of a clearinghouse approach in which networks linked through an intermediary fee settlement system instead of these one-at-a-time peering arrangements. He said, "We are very selective at choosing who we are peering with." Apparently, in testing, they're finding that some hotspots don't offer the consistency they want and haven't secured their systems in a way that STSN requires. Jones agrees that industry standards for hotspot operation would make it easier to move to a clearinghouse model. "There has to be some form of governance over those service-level requirements," he said. Meanwhile, Sprint PCS's failure to build out even a fraction of the locations that they predicted eight months ago seems to be an industry trend. Even though 2004 was finally supposed to be the year of the hotspots, we haven't heard boo from Cometa since they deployed 250 locations in Seattle (their first of many cities, they said, to get that kind of coverage), SBC (which predicted thousands of locations over a couple of years), T-Mobile (Kinko's, Borders, and Starbucks seems to still be their primary focus), or AT&T Wireless (a few airports and other deals, but mostly reselling Cometa and Wayport). Sprint PCS customers can roam to networks owned by Wayport, Airpath, Cometa, and Concourse. I spoke to a Verizon Wireless manager by accident a few weeks ago, and he said that the company doesn't plan to do more than resell service. Nextel has its own cards up its sleeves related to the licensed...

Scary article about the flu

Scary article about the flu 12/10/2003 06:41 PM
There isn't enough flu vaccine medicine to go around this year, but that might not matter, because the vaccine might not be effective against the "Fujian" flu that's going around.

Bad as they are, the difficulties in coping with this year's influenza epidemic are like the tiny tremors in California that remind you of the looming Big One. In the world of influenza, the Big One is a pandemic—a strain of influenza so different from what has circulated before that people have no immunity. That's what happened in 1918 when the flu killed between 20 million and 40 million people worldwide. Pandemics that killed well over half a million also struck in both 1957 and 1968.

Why Is Agile Development So Scary?

Why Is Agile Development So Scary? 06/17/2005 04:54 PM

 

Pres ton Smith has written a pragmatic overview from of why Agile works. I particularly liked the reference to Donald Reinertsen?s research that showed:

* Out of hundreds of projects, there is no case in which requirements remained stable throughout design.

* Of more than 200 product developers, fewer than 5% had complete requirements before beginning design.

* On average, design commenced with only 58% of requirements specified.

If requirements are going to change, wouldn't we be better off acknowledging this and building our processes to accommodate it.

"Then I saw your essay this morning, what a relief. You didn't say you hate Christmas but it was a relief to be reminded that someone else out there does not love it. I finished my shopping and it wasn't so bad."

Glad I could help. It's true, I don't hate Christmas as much as I resent having such a large chunk of my life taken for a cause I have no stake in.

I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudorealities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives. I distrust their power. It is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing."
