Latter-day ashphalters call on feds not
to treat fiber like roads 03/19/2003 10:45 PM
Clay sez:

The 21st Century Infrastructure Consortium (21st CiC)is dedicated to bringing high-bandwidth fiber to the home. Or, rather, they are dedicated to FTTH as long as our city governments don't get involved. From the looks of the paper 21st CiC has filed with the FCC, the worst thing that could possibly happen is that someone could be scheming to offer you access to pure bandwidth, uncluttered by monopolistic business practices.

From their FCC filing: "Municipalities, even when they promise to build an open-access network, should not at all be involved with the FTTx industry."

So take that, you municipal stooges! Your puny notions of "open access" are nothing to us! (I'd suggest a drinking game involving the number of occurrences of the phrase "unfair competition" in a two page PDF, but I think the AMA would revoke my blogging license.)

The very idea that the government would want to treat access to bandwidth as even remotely analogous to access to highways has latter-day asphalt manufacturers in a tizzy. Municipal FTTH may die a-borning, if the beneficiaries of such services don't make themselves heard.

Proving Tech Costs Less: Charge Based On
What You Used To Pay

Proving Tech Costs Less: Charge Based On
What You Used To Pay 04/07/2005 05:29 AM
I've been reading Andy Kessler's latest (not yet released) book, < i>How We Got Here : A Slightly Irreverent History of Technology and Markets, and one of the themes of the book is how history seems to repeat itself. The stories involving the industrial revolution have clear parallels in today's internet-enabled world. One story that stuck with me was the way that James Watt and Matthew Boulton figured out how to price their steam engine. Rather than selling it outright, they went to miners (the main customer of steam engines -- they needed to pump water out of their mines) and asked them how much they spent on horses, and then offered to lease them the steam engine at 1/3 the cost of all the horses the steam engine replaced. In other words, the ROI was clear and immediate. While more modern business models often promise savings, they're not so clearly tied to what they're replacing, which can increase the risk factor. However, it looks like one company in France is trying to bring back this sort of model. Altitude, a wireless broadband provider, is looking to provide VoIP services to businesses by charging them a flat-rate, which will be exactly one-half of the average of their previous year's phone bills. Basically, customer can be assured that they'll save money, since the fees will be based on what they used to pay. Of course, there are other issues to take into account, such as reliability and quality, but it's still fascinating to see this sort of business model revived.
