AT&T: the hollow phone company

AT&T: the hollow phone company 05/25/2004 03:43 AM
Kevin Werbach has a cool perspective on the fact that AT&T has divested itself of its physical and cellular networks: it has become a "virtual" phone company. (Remember the spectrum docket where AT&T was all about the open spectrum? Maybe this virtual telco thing makes phone companies less evil?)

AT&T is hollowing itself out -- and that's a good thing. Under Dave Dorman, AT&T has invested heavily in building a true all-IP backbone and deploying VOIP offerings. Following the sale of AT&T Wireless to Cingular and AT&T's subsequent deal with Sprint PCS, AT&T is poised to offer a full suite of wireless offerings without the cost of owning a cellular network. And it is still the biggest player in the lucrative business services market, with a national brand second to none.

River guide Steve Currey invites you to join him on a twenty-four day trip into the, er, hollow earth. Currey has chartered a Russian Nuclear Icebreaker ship to leave next summer and is accepting reservations for up to 100 passengers.

"The indigenous Eskimos believe there is a hole in the Arctic Ocean. Observations of several Arctic explorers of mirages of land in the Arctic indicate that the most plausible location for a north polar opening that leads into the interior of the earth is located at 84.4 N Latitude, 141 E Longitude.... Don't miss this chance to personally visit that paradise within our earth via the North Polar Opening and meet the highly advanced, friendly people who live there. We are of the opinion that they are the legendary Lost Tribes of Israel who migrated into the North Country over 2,500 years ago and literally became lost to the knowledge of mankind."

The trip runs $18,950 a head, but anyone adventurous enough to join Currey should note that:

"By joining Our Hollow Earth Expedition, expedition members agree that there are NO GUARANTEES that this expedition will reach Inner earth. The expedition will make a good faith effort to locate the North Polar Opening and enter therein, but worst case scenario is that we visit the geographic North Pole, explore the region, and continue on to the New Siberian Islands."

NASA to ground many of its sites

NASA to ground many of its sites 08/09/2004 09:48 PM
NASA to consolidate all their sites into the nasa.gov portal The argument for change is that users will be served better by a single website because the agency's various sites vary in quality and content. But scientists and fans at NASAWatch say consolidation into a single NASA portal - which is more suited as collection press releases rather than in-depth information - will greatly reduce the amount of public information available from NASA. Is consolidation a good idea or is it just a power grab/manipulation by NASA administrators?

FCC Decision on Ground-to-Air for Data

FCC Decision on Ground-to-Air for Data 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
Misreporting abounded today about the FCC's air-to-ground wireless spectrum decision: What really was decided in order FCC 04-287? That 4 MHz in the 800 MHz band designated for commercial air-to-ground use will be auctioned. More on how the auction will be decided in a moment. Reports were all over the board in describing the decision, however, partly because of the way in which the press release was written. If you don't know spectrum, as many business reporters still do not, then you can easily misunderstand what was covered. Many articles stated that the decision would allow Wi-Fi on board planes. But that decision was made years ago, and is why Connexion by Boeing is allowed to operate using Wi-Fi for its satellite-to-air service. For instance, this Reuters story incorrectly states, The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forbids the cabin use of devices that intentionally emit radio waves during flight -- like wireless phones and computers that can communicate with each other. The trade press tended to handle this better. For instance, Stephen Lawson from IDG News Service, a man who has filed hundreds of stories that I've read, got his facts dead right. Mike Masnick also figured out what was decided, but even he errs in reading the order to indicate only data services are at stake. The two licenses the FCC will grant at auction cover voice, data, broadband Internet, etc., although not ancillary services which isn't defined, but which means using the frequencies for purposes other than air-to-ground, like filling in empty spaces in ground cellular coverage. I spoke briefly to Connexion by Boeing's Sherry Nebel today to help clarify what was decided. Stating Connexion's general position, she said, "The FCC did a really thorough job of listening to all of the interested parties and addressing a complex situation. We are pleased that the license will be limited to the intended air-to-ground use and ancillary use will not be allowed. And we now look forward to reviewing the commission's ruling in detail." There's that ancillary use again--we'll certainly hear more about it in the future. Nebel confirmed that Connexion will evaluate all of its options, now that air-to-ground is on the table. Reports have indicated that Connexion pays hundreds of millions of dollars a year in fees to lease the network of satellite transponders necessary to provide the extensive coverage needed for over-water routes. Adding air-to-ground communications...

Extending Connexion to the Ground

Extending Connexion to the Ground 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
Connexion by Boeing and Singapore's StarHub connect network billing: It's been a dream of mine since I first heard about Connexion that the business traveler of tomorrow checks their email at home over Wi-Fi (using DSL backhaul), handles work in the back of the cab to the airport by 2.5G/3G, logs into the airport Wi-Fi network, and hops on the plane to use in-flight Wi-Fi--all with a single account. StarHub and Connexion's memo of understanding is the first step in seamless connectivity. The kinds of business travelers who routinely fly distances that will be served by Connexion are the kind who want (and possibly need) continuous connectivity to keep their role in the business information flow active. This doesn't mean you want to sit next to them, on the plane, of course, especially once in-flight cellular becomes a reality....

The Streaming Music Middle Ground?

The Streaming Music Middle Ground? 04/26/2004 12:48 AM

My Slate Column on Why Streaming Rocks

"Last week Slate published my latest column -- which is an ode to streaming, that mostly-neglected way of getting digital music. I tried out the streaming service Rhapsody, and discovered that quite to my surprise, it rocked madly. With 500,000 songs instantly at my beck and call, for $10 a month, it suddenly became really easy to explore new artists -- something that is incredibly expensive if you do it by buying CDs, and incredibly slow if you do it by using Kazaa. Most interestingly, I discovered that I didn't really care that much about not "owning" the songs; I was willing to trade enormous access to a massive library in exchange for not actually having them, physically, on my hard drive. That's partly because, as I noted, ownership these days isn't actually ownership...." [collision detection]

From Clive's article, The Internet Jukebox:

"Using a streaming service such as Rhapsody also allows you to opt out of the AAC vs. WMA war, a face-off that is queasily reminiscent of the fight between Betamax and VHS. You probably remember the sad fate of the losers who bought Beta movies. The downloading services are forcing you to similarly gamble about which music format will win. Right now, because of iPod and iTunes, AAC looks pretty solid. But what happens if WMA triumphs, iPods die out, and the only music players available in 2014 won't play the thousands of songs you legally bought at iTunes? (Or vice versa.)....

Besides, put on your Jules Verne cap. Think about what it'll be like when wireless companies finally roll out broadband networks nationwide and streaming is possible out in the streets. Imagine subscribing to something like Rhapsody on a mobile device that lets you access any song, anywhere, instantly. What will you think of your iPod and its 1,000 songs then?" [Slate]

I wholeheartedly agree with Clive, and I've been meaning to write more about this for a while. I listen to Rhapsody almost exclusively at work, and I don't miss the ownership aspect at all, a fact about which I am quite torn. On the one hand, the instant gratification is so worth it, and I love having the ability to listen to such a wide variety of music. On the other hand, I worry that I'm helping bring about a subscription-based entertainment future in which no one really owns our culture anymore, except the people charging me to access it.

And of course, my biggest fear of all is that there is room for libraries in that future.
