NPR on Radio Interference

NPR on Radio Interference 05/26/2004 12:09 PM
NPR reports on interference among legitimate radio uses: Morning Edition reports on conflicts between legitimate uses, such as a baby monitor poorly made that was appearing on military and AM/FM radio (they pulled the monitor off the market). It also explains how broadband-over-powerlines (BPL) might have an impact on licensed amateur radio. The excellent report covers how the FCC is improving its testing methods to observe interference....

Interference to Pose Problems

Interference to Pose Problems 10/28/2003 11:09 PM
An analyst from the Aberdeen Group suggests that interference will become a major problem next year: As more hot spots pop up, they are more likely to interfere with each other, degrading the user experience. He says that the only solution will be for governments to open up more spectrum and thus more channels for Wi-Fi so networks have less chance of interfering with each other....

Electrical (Standards) Interference

Electrical (Standards) Interference 04/02/2005 03:25 PM

HomePlu g AV is near--but so are three other standards: Frustrating, isn't it, that just when you hear the news that the electrical networking standard HomePlug is about to be revised from version 1.0 to AV (11 Mbps to 200 Mbps!) that three other standards could split the marketplace and thus doom it in the same way that the excellent HomeRF standard sunk beneath the waters by failing to reach the market fast enough with speedy bandwidth.

PC World reports that HomePlug AV will be ratified in June and be built into settop boxes and other devices. With a raw 200 Mbps design, it should deliver at least 100 Mbps of actual net throughput, enough to stream multiple video signals across your home's wiring. It's also designed to work with Broadband over Powerline (BPL) equipment, although I'm finding that increasingly unlikely to be deployed in the U.S. based on power utility statements. (Anti-municipal telecom/broadband bills would make it impossible for private utilities to deploy BPL, too.)

The United Powerline Association unfortunately has a competing spec that won't interoperate. And then HomePlug has a low-power control protocol they're working on as does Z-Wave.

The article unfortunately quotes the New Millennium Research Council, a group that I have written about extensively here because of their parent company, Issue Dynamics, which is a PR firm that represents incumbent telco and cable operators. The NRMC is oddly 100-percent behind BPL, and if you look at Issue Dynamics's client list, you find that Edison Electric Institute and Virginia Power are represented in their client list; Pacific Gas & Electric was a former client.

So keep your scorecard straight: utilities offering broadband is a bad idea when they are owned by municipalities, but an entirely good idea when private companies own the utilities. And allowing municipal utilities to allow private companies to offer broadband over their electrical lines would be bad, too.

The scalability myth

The scalability myth 08/19/2004 12:45 AM

At one time or another, nearly every kind of information technology has been judged and found wanting. The failures are often summed up in that most damning of epithets: "It doesn't scale." The reason, of course, is that at one time or another, for one reason or another, every kind of information technology has failed to scale.

Unfortunately for the victims tarred with that brush, scalability is a wildly imprecise term. Applications may be expected to scale up to massive server farms or scale down to handsets. And size is only one axis of scalability. Others include bandwidth, transactional intensity, service availability, transitivity of trust, query performance, and the human comprehensibility of source code or end-user information display.

...

It's tempting to conclude that the decentralized, loosely coupled Web architecture is intrinsically scalable. Not so. We've simply learned -- and are still learning -- how to mix those ingredients properly. Formats and protocols that people can read and write enhance scalability along the human axis. Caching and load-balancing techniques help us with bandwidth and availability. But some kinds of problems will always require a different mix of ingredients. Microsoft has consolidated its internal business applications, for example, onto a single instance of SAP. In this case, the successful architecture is centralized and tightly coupled.

For any technology, the statement "X doesn't scale" is a myth. The reality is that there are ways X can be made to scale and ways to screw up trying. Understanding the possibilities and avoiding the pitfalls requires experience that doesn't (yet) come in a box. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

Based on the reaction so far, it seems like this piece went over well. It's so nice to be able to track reactions that way. ...

The upgradability myth

The upgradability myth 12/02/2003 01:26 PM
Since the introduction of the original iMac in 1998, there has been complaints that Apple's consumer models are not upgradable. It's true, aside from memory, hard drive space and optical drives, that there isn't much upgrading that can be done internally to an eMac or iMac. It is also true that most consumers almost never upgrade anything other than the memory or hard drive space on their computers.

Is Consolidation A Myth?

Is Consolidation A Myth? 12/23/2003 02:45 AM
Thought provoking piece over at Always-On suggesting that al l this fear about consolidation killing off competition is a big myth. While there are plenty of examples of companies buying up each other (and even areas where there are fewer companies within a specific space than before) consumers have more choice than ever before, leading to better products and lower prices. Sure, it may seem like there are big media conglomerates, but there are also plenty of independent websites that give people choice. Sure, there may be fewer small local banks, but there are plenty more banks that have expanded from other areas to serve a large population. Basically, what appears to be happening is that the regional companies are being eaten up, but there's plenty of competition on a global basis. Of course, there are still some exceptions (I'm still limited in my broadband connection choice, for instance), but these might be temporary monopolies, rather than a permanent state of affairs. I'm not sure it's completely true, but I do think some fears about consolidation everywhere are overblown.

Is Data Extinction A Myth?

Is Data Extinction A Myth? 12/03/2003 12:17 PM
We've had plenty of stories over the years about the problem s of data extinction and how to avoid them. The issue is that digital media degrades and formats and technologies become obsolete. The typical example is of someone trying to access material stored on an old floppy disk from twenty years ago that used some obsolete word processor format. However, Simson Garfinkel believes that the threat of data extinction is overblown. While some stuff does get locked away, most things worth having access to get updated to modern formats. The bigger problem, in his mind, is proprietary, closed formats that no one has access to. As long as the format is out in the open and becomes popular enough, he believes it will remain supported for years to come - or that important data will get converted over time. In worst case scenarios, he says that there will always be some way to get access to old data, though it may be costly. I think the truth is probably somewhere in between. Certainly, many important bits of information will get updated over time, or will end up in formats that stay relevant. However, not everything will. Part of the problem is that most people don't think about these things when creating data - and don't realize that the storage media they're using will degrade, or that the format they're storing it in may become obsolete. So, they create their content and then leave it alone... until suddenly it's needed twenty years from now and no one can figure out how to access it.

DiVX video to include MP3 support 03/17/2005 03:44 AM
THE NEXT generation of DivX video will include official support for MP3 and MP3 Surround audio, DivXNetworks told the INQ today. While MP3 audio has been used with Divx encoded movies for yonks, the official licensing of the technology from Fraunhofer and Thomson means that the codec can be used in official / legal / commercial content created with the video format, rather than just episodes of 24 downloaded from BitTorrent. The MP3 Surround codec enables 5.1 audio to be compressed in a similar and backward-compatible way to existing stereo MP3, saving space and avoiding alienating the existing installed base of MP3 devices.
