Re: Cable competition apparently not working fast enough

As it often happens customers don't have a real choice. Rarely do both companies provide service in the same area. Obviously, competition isn't working, if it did prices and speed wouldn't be much different from the rest of the developed world.

Re: Joost Internet TV Set to Revive Net Neutrality Battle

I agree with jeff. Not everyone is going to be using Joost and users can always close the background application to preserve the bandwidth. What really should be done is an update of U.S. Internet networks up to world's standards. U.S. Internet providers (Comcast, for example) are experiencing enormous growth but yet prices keep increasing and speeds decreasing. It just seems simpler and cheaper to change the law.

Re: The Technology Liberation Front » Archive » More on Skype’s Petition to Regulate Cellphone Carriers

Skype hasn't even released the client for the symbian phones but already petitioning FCC? I have Nokia E60 and I am still waiting for the client. One of the reasons I bought the phone was to make VOIP calls. Interestingly enough, this phone, and E61 (both are WI-fi enabled) isn't sold in US, so I had to get it from Europe.

Re: Google’s YouTube Losing Viacom Deal to Joost.com?

YouTube is already paying enormous amounts for the bandwidth. How's Joost.com going to be profitable from advertising alone if the content they are going to offer is "full episodes with high-quality resolution"?
And then again, how legal it is to distribute full length episodes?

Another parallel could be drawn with Nokia E61. In order to make appearance in the U.S. with Cingular, Nokia had to strip it of Wi-Fi and some other features, making it Nokia E62. You cannot buy any non-grey market E series Nokia (or any Nokia phone with Wi-Fi for that matter) in USA.

During poweroutages, there are modems that will still let you make calls for 4 hours and then only make outgoing calls for another 2 hours. This might be enough in some cases. And how many of us have a landline phone that doesnt' work without power anyway?

This is could be a big money making scheme if they would sell the info collected back to the users. Wouldn't you want to know what sites you were frequent 10 years ago?
