Palo Alto's Fiber Is Doing Fine
Palo Alto's Fiber Is Doing Fine
02/05/2005 09:26 PMPalo Alto's fiber network: I admit that fiber-optic networks have
little to do with wireless, but we're still playing clean-up from this
week's flurry of activity around an astroturf report on municipal
broadband. (Scan through the archives for more on that.) One piece of
email I received during this week from Jeff Hoel in Palo Alto long and
interesting as relates to their fiber network. Palo Alto was one of
the first cities to build their own infrastructure. They have not been
cited in any of the reports or ancillary material that have disputed
the efficacy of municipal networks and I was interesting in finding
out more. Jeff has a lot of points to make and, with his permission, I
reproduce his email in condensed form below. (Note: Jeff writes about
FTTH, which is Fiber To The Home. Many fiber systems are fiber/coax
hybrids in which fiber is the backbone and drops to the home use
coaxial cable to reduce expense and complexity.) Jeff writes: I'm a
Palo Alto resident and an enthusiastic supporter of muni FTTH here. In
your 2-1-05 article "Beat the TechBeat on Muni Wireless", you say: The
author conveniently ignores Palo Alto, an early fiber-optic deployer,
and I have no idea whether that project was vastly successful or a
huge failure. Based on what I know about the growth of Internet
businesses around Palo Alto that have remained post dotcom bubble, it
seems that fiber might actually attract business. Here's what I think
is going on in Palo Alto. The city put in a dark fiber infrastructure
in 1996. [1 (PDF)] [2] It's doing fine, in that it's making money and
paying off its investment. But the service is expensive enough that
only businesses can afford it. The city put in a 66-home FTTH Trial
system in 2001. It's doing fine, in that participants are happy to pay
$85/mo for Internet service. During the first year, phone service was
also offered, but after that it was dropped because the point had been
proved that you could do it. RF analog TV was also demonstrated to
work technically, but was never offered as a service because of the
hassle of buying the content. The Trial cost something like $640k;
nobody ever thought it would pay for itself eventually. I think the
equipment chosen for the Trial is not the equipment we'd want for a
citywide system, which...

were almost gone.
Well, Salon is almost bankrupt. We've heard this before —
Salon is always rumored to be circling the drain, ready to go under in

think it's serious.
Yet, they're still around.
Salon op-ed on DNC bl0ggers
Salon op-ed on DNC bl0ggers
07/29/2004 05:05 AMDanah boyd has adapted her rant about the NYT's dismissal of the DNC
bloggers as "Web diarists" into an op-ed for Salon.
Blogging will not replace traditional journalism, but it presents a
threat to the normative press culture and an opportunity for radical
reporting. Bloggers do place the issue of professionalism under
attack, not by being unprofessional, but by exposing the ways in which
the media operates. As blogging reaches the masses, people are
introduced to information that was not reported because it did not
suit the party line. Bloggers will happily document the power games
that they witness in the press room and will expose future Jayson
Blairs. Bloggers also capture information that the mainstream press
does not yet realize is valuable, which means that ambitious and
digitally minded journalists are constantly scanning the blogs for
information. More and more, journalists are thanking bloggers for new
slants. The competition between journalists and bloggers for readers'
attention results in more diverse and compelling coverage.

03/19/2003 10:45 PMLast year I said I thought Salon should look into licensing

writing on software since I
started reading it several years ago. Last month when I was in New
York I sat down with Joel and had a good long talk about software
development, partly for the purpose of my book research and partly
because I knew he'd be entertaining and thoughtful. Today's Salon
features a
write-up of the interview, pegged in part to the publication of a
book collection of Spolsky's essays.

Stepheon's Confusion on Salon
Stepheon's Confusion on Salon
04/21/2004 03:23 AMMy copy of Neal Stephenson's
Confusion, the new, enormous sequel to
Quicksilver, arrived in the mail yesterday before I left for
Turin, and it's in my suitcase, waiting for me. Quicksilver was a
remarkable book, a triumphant combination of Stephenson's
trivia-obsessed, research-intensive approach to the precursors of the
information age (viz.
Snow Crash's Nam-Shub of Enki and
Cryptonomicon's Bletchley Park sequences) and his gift for
sprawling, braided stoorylines that combine slapstick action scenes
with intense, emotional passages.
Salon's running a double feature on Stephenson today: a long interview with Neal, and a review by Andrew Leonard. Both are highly recommended -- I
can't wait to sink my teeth into this book.
Science was new and they didn't know how to do it yet. Science was and
is a somewhat contentious thing. Someone's got a theory and they
promulgate that theory and then something else comes along and alters,
improves on or even flatly contradicts it. Now that we've got 350
years of perspective on this, scientists understand that this is how
it's done and there's a mechanism in place for how to do it. It's
refereed journals and it's become institutionalized. They didn't have
that perspective on it. They couldn't stand back and say, Well, my
theory may get contradicted here and there, but this guy who's
contradicting it will get contradicted in turn. They didn't have that
expectation. They didn't have journals. The first two journals were
the Journale de Savants, which was about 1665, and the Proceedings of
the Royal Society, which was right about the same time. Leibniz had to
found his own journal in order to publish his own work. They were kind
of banging around in the dark trying to figure out how to do this.
Hooke, for example, when he figured out how arches work, published it
as an anagram. He condensed the idea into this pithy statement: "The
ideal form of an arch is the form of a chain hanging, flipped upside
down." Then he scrambled the letters to make an anagram and published
it. That way, he wasn't giving away the secret, but if somebody came
along a few years later and claimed that they'd invented it, he could
just unscramble what he'd published. He was establishing precedence.
Hooke squabbled with [Christiaan] Huygens over a bunch of
clock-related inventions. This kind of thing was just rife. It came to
a head in a grotesque way in the priority dispute over [who invented]
the calculus. That was so embarrassing to the whole institution of
science and people were so nauseated by it that it taught everyone a
lesson. After that, no one would dream of doing what Newton did, which
was to invent something really important and then sit on it for 30
years.

Salon: Mozilla rising
Salon: Mozilla rising
09/11/2002 06:43 PMBut the best part about Mozilla is that it is not just a browser.
Scores of developers are now talking about using Mozilla as a
"platform" -- that is, using Mozilla's underlying code to build
non-browser applications, like calendar programs and e-mail programs
and even Linux desktops. You don't need to download Mozilla to use
these apps, as some are distributed with their own stripped-down
version of Mozilla's engine -- which, if you think about it, is
exactly the kind of thing Microsoft was trying to prevent when it
launched its war against Netscape. It didn't want Netscape around,
because Netscape was becoming a platform. So wouldn't it be rich if,
in the end, Microsoft succeeds in killing Netscape and winning the
browser war but still, somehow, doesn't eliminate the platform threat?
If Netscape dies but the dragon that it spawned burns Redmond?
"btn" I don't know why so many people in the open source world have an
inferiority complex and are always comparing themselves to Microsoft,
or planning Microsoft's downfall, or are simply jealous. When I
release open source software, I'm just pleased if a hundred or a
thousand people are using it. And if Microsoft ever uses my code, hey
that would be delightful!

The Greatest Show on Earth had its ethnic flourishes. The band started

About Zawodny's invitation to flame
About Zawodny's invitation to flame
04/23/2004 07:13 PM
Yesterday I pointed to a post by
Jeremy Zawodny that appeared to be calling for a flame fest with me as
the guest of honor. I pointed to it after the first few comments made
it clear that it wasn't going to be a flame fest. In fact, it was the
most rational discussion of conflict disclosure I've seen to date in
the weblog world. It left me bursting with pride to be part of this
community.
There's nothing wrong when someone writes an essay advocating
something that they have a financial interest in, as long as the
interest is disclosed. For example, if you're going to buy a house,
it's good to know you're reading something written by someone who will
profit if you buy the house. That's why you get an inspector to look
over the house after you decide to make an offer. And why you'd feel
betrayed if it turned out the inspector was getting a percentage of
the sale. (In fact the inspector would go to jail for doing that.)
So when a Google shareholder write's an empassioned defense of
Google, it was correct for Zawodny to ask if he was a shareholder. He
did ask, and got an answer, and as far as I was concerned, that was
news, so I pointed to it. All of this is good, it's the system working
as it should.
As I read John Battelle's analysis of search engines, I
wonder if he is consulting for the companies he's writing about. John
has a long career as a journalist and now as a professor, both
professions require disclosures of conflicts of interest, so I
assume he has no such conflict, because I haven't seen a disclaimer
from him.
On the other hand, I often see people who I know have conflicts
writing in their area of conflict without disclosure. In a world where
everyone's playing footsie,
if you tend to out people, you quickly get a rep for being difficult,
or having personality problems. Does this sound familiar? Heh.
In any case, the thread on Zawodny's was a milestone. Thanks to
Tara, Brian, Ryan, Randy, Scott and Rogers and the others
who stood up and said it's important to know where people are coming
from. Tell people when you have a conflict, they'll read you more
carefully, they'll respect you more, and the world will be a better
place.

Tweaking CC's Standard Attribution
Language - An Invitation to Comment
06/05/2005 11:40 PMSo a new license draft has been posted here. The
changes relate to our standard attribution language and the plan is
that they take effect across all of our core licenses. The new version
will be 2.5 because it is a minor change. We are in the process of
working through other revisions to the licenses that will form the
basis for version 3.0 but this change is needed now to take account of
the demands of wikis & the open access journal community.
Many
of you have given comments on the beta wiki license which have been
very useful. The difference between this license draft and the beta
wiki is that attribution in this draft can be to the author and/or one
or more other parties. The beta wiki license only permitted
attribution to the author *or* another party or parties. Also, we
have included an additional example in the brackets to make it clear
that one of the attributed parties may be a journal.
For a more
detailed explanation of the changes, check out this posting to our licenses discussion list. You can join
the discussion here.

NEC's "smart" batteries: invitation to
monopolistic DMCA nightmare
NEC's "smart" batteries: invitation to
monopolistic DMCA nightmare
07/08/2004 05:32 AMNEC has announced that its batteries will have cryptographic
authentication schemes to prevent "low-quality counterfeits." Jason
Schultz comments on the way that the DMCA turns such a sytem into a
license to screw your customers by shutting out competitors who make
cheaper batteries:
The software will be introduced in Japanese digital cameras by
year's end and is expected to be used in 50 million units by 2007. The
software is ideal for use in mobile phones and batteries, but NEC
Electronics is also considering extending this technology to "smart"
keys, printers and ink cartridges, as well as bundling the technology
into hardware options.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, software-based authentication is the wave
of the future. And now, with the DMCA, a near-monopoly! Future, here
we come.
