Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi?
Political Conventions Ban Wi-Fi?
07/09/2004 09:53 AMPolitical blogger 601am.com has been told there will be no Wi-Fi on
the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Conventions
floors: We don't have this confirmed yet, but Aaron Bailey of
601am.com, a credentialed blogger for the DNC event, was told by
several authorities that Wi-FI interferred with "broadcast television
signals" and was thus banned. This rang a bell, and I contacted Tim
Pozar, a microwave expert who recently joined the Electronic Frontier
Foundation's staff. Tim writes extensively about the Part 15 FCC rules
which govern use of unlicensed bands, such a the 2.4 gigahertz (GHz)
band in which 802.11b and 802.11g (the two most popular Wi-Fi flavors)
perform their magic. Tim noted that Electronic News Gathering (ENG) is
a licensed -- and thus priority -- use of a part of the 2.4 GHz band.
ENG is used to send signals from television cameras to remote trucks
or studios. The Part 74 ENG use is licensed, which means that
unlicensed Wi-Fi users can suck eggs if they don't like being banned.
Tim suggests that the frequency coordinator for the venues made a big
stink about this as likely every ENG channel will be in use in the
conferences. They don't need unlicensed "mucking" up the band. Tim has
written this paper about licensed uses that overlap unlicensed bands.
Tim notes that 802.11a, which uses the 5 GHz band, could have been
deployed successfully, but few people have 802.11a or 802.11a/g cards.
It's still not common technology because of its lack of backwards
compatibility and shorter range at the same power outputs. More on
this story as we receive information from the field. I'm especially
curious to see if newsgatherers who create their own software base
stations or plop Linksys access points onto the expensive Ethernet
drops they pay Verizon for will be hunted down and shut off....

Rosen and
Dave Winer will
be among the bloggers who have been given credentials to cover the
Democratic National Convention in Boston. Good choices, both.
Jay just posted a
long essay about conventions and journalism, and
it's fascinating to read. The freshness bloggers will bring to the
coverage, he says, makes the experiment worthwhile. I look forward to
seeing if this turns out to be the case.
For my own part, I'm not attending that event. Rather, I'll be at
another gathering that has serious political overtones of its own, the
Open Source
Convention in Portland, Oregon. I'll be speaking about
my book, of course,
from the angle of asking if we're entering an era of something that
resembles open-source journalism. People like Dave and Jay have helped
persuade me that we are, and I'm glad of it.

heavier than folks used to only stack-based systems are used to. As a

WHY IS KERRY
HOLDING BACK ON BUSH'S DISREGARD FOR THE
GENEVA CONVENTIONS?
WHY IS KERRY
HOLDING BACK ON BUSH'S DISREGARD FOR THE
GENEVA CONVENTIONS?
05/23/2004 12:06 PM
There has been a lot of
discussion lately, at least in moderate and left-wing circles, about
the growing evidence of the Bush Regime's deliberate abrogation of the
Geneva Conventions, on the basis that respecting it compromises the
'war on terror'. The best report was Friday on Bill Moyers NOW
on PBS, which included a lengthy interview with Scott Horton, the
lawyer for the NY Bar Association, about the Association's report
on the Bush Regime's arguments for ignoring the Conventions, and their
implication for the safety of American troops, and the integrity of
international law. The report was commissioned in part because of
concerns expressed by the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) office about
alarming and inconsistent instructions that military personnel were
receiving about non-application of the Conventions. These concerns
stemmed from a whole series of classified memoranda from the very top
of the Bush Regime, justifying widespread setting aside of the
Conventions on flimsy grounds, notably a memo
from Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo developed to
pre-justify systematic contravention of the Conventions. Or as
Newsweek
puts it
"a legal framework to justify a secret system of detention and
interrogation that sidesteps the historical safeguards of the Geneva
Conventions."
There is a great deal more on this story. The NOW site above has links
to additional stories. And Joe Conason at Salon.com has a good
summary of it this week.
So the question is: Why is John Kerry not raising this as a serious campaign
issue,
a defining distinction between his policy and Bush's? In the interview
with NOW, Horton says that all the major media, especially the TV
networks, have refused to provide significant coverage of this issue
because "it is too complex to be understandable or of interest to the
public." This is an astonishing position for the media to take, and a
total abrogation of their journalistic responsibility. So, for the
benefit of these media, allow me to make it simple, so that even a
media mogul could understand it:
- The primary purpose of the Geneva Conventions is as a
mutual code of civility, to safeguard prisoners on all sides from
torture, murder and atrocities. As long as all sides in a war agree to
be bound by the Conventions, the war is unlikely to deteriorate into
gruesome and barbaric abuse and slaughter of the innocent. But when
one
side, as the US has now done, disregards the Conventions, it provokes
the other side to abrogate the Conventions as well. So the first
consequence of the Bush Regime's decision that the Geneva Conventions
does not apply in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, and other secret US
prisons in the ill-defined and boundaryless 'war on terror', is to
imperil the lives and safety of
American troops, peacekeepers and civilians worldwide. We have
already seen some despicable instances of this.
- Respect for
and adherence to the Geneva Conventions is a
backbone of international law, but it is equally enshrined in American
law. Secret papers calling for the ignoring and abrogation of the
Conventions, from the highest levels of the Bush Regime, are in fact
instructions
to commit illegal acts, and a statement that this government considers
itself above, and not bound by, the rule of law in America.
So we have a government that, by its actions, is threatening the lives
and safety of American troops, peacekeepers, and civilians worldwide,
and putting themselves outside and above the law by commissioning
illegal acts. Surely this is simple enough for anyone to understand,
and surely it is grounds for Kerry to express outrage, demand an
impartial and unimpeded investigation (not another of these farcical
and impotent commissions we have seen so far), and in fact seek
criminal charges against the people responsible. The NY Bar
Association
believes there are ample grounds for this, and they should know
something about the law.
If we reserve our outrage and only prosecute those on the front lines
that follow the orders they are given, and even then only when there
are provocative photos, and if by our inaction we actually encourage
those that commission the illegal and dangerous acts, give the orders,
and then hide behind executive privilege and secrecy, what does that
say about us?
It's time for John Kerry to speak up.

protected by the Geneva Conventions.
