      Digital Television Investment

      by Andrew McCaskey

      First of all, some words on the 31 Days of The Dragon promotion, with thanks to HP and Buzz Corps.

      We had some major luck today, with a mention in the UK Guardian – and hope that at least some of you are checking out the podcast for the first time. Welcome.

      The 31 days are in full swing, with contests in progress now . Each of the 31 sites has an award date, and can begin their contest seven days prior to the award date.

      Please go to these sites, look up their contest info and register

      02 May – 09 May www.absolutevista.com
      03 May – 10 May www.arstechnica.com
      04 May – 11 May www.osnn.net
      05 May – 12 May www.jkontherun.com
      06 May – 13 May digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com

      I’ll be updating each day and keeping you informed on where to go to make sure that you have the rolling registration and maximize your chanced to win.

      ==========

      The article on Digital Television- and the government’s interest in making sure that goes smoothly – touched on a viewpoint that I had not considered. Basically, something like 98.5% of the population has television access, and literacy rates are in the 85% range. The $40 coupon /converter box is one of the cheapest ways to reach those remaining 15%. Simple as that. And actually, not a bad thing. Especially if you are a politician.

      The concluding question- how long will be be before the government pursues broadband access for these same citizens with the same vigor ?

      As Boss Tweed remarked in the 1870′s – Regarding Nast’s cartoons, Tweed reportedly said, “Stop them damned pictures. I don’t care so much what the papers say about me. My constituents don’t know how to read, but they can’t help seeing them damned pictures! [1]

      That might explain why there’s not quite as much emphasis on broadband.

          Jockey for Position

          by Andrew McCaskey
          The sharp elbows and mistruths are not limited to the current Democratic political campaign. There is more than enough to go around in the jockey play between folks like Comcast, AT&T, the FCC and members of Congress.

          The latest testimony regarding Comcast seems to point to traffic shaping that does not particularly target peer to peer traffic. In fact, it looks like the latest culprit for resource consumption is not p2p but streaming video from the likes of YouTube, Hulu, and the low profile but apparently heavily used Veoh. Add in Joost, Livestation, uStream, Mogulus and a half dozen other video sites, and you will begin to see how the traffic concerns of ISP grow.

          Peer to Peer – and especially bittorrent make such an easy and attractive target, mainly because the RIAA and MPAA have been doing the heavy attack publicity for so many years that ISP’s feel relatively safe calling out politicians to “solve” that problem.
          It looks like the greater bandwidth consumer, by far, is the streaming services – and operators like Comcast want a piece of that. In fact, a large helping. So in the guise of fairness – punishing shady characters who are probably stealing anyway – ISP’s assert their property rights to the pipes . Net neutrality be damned.

          If ISP’s get the political muscle to negate net neutrality then it’s theirs. All of it. And with care, those pesky competitiors can be snuffed out, one by one. After all, they control the pipes.

              Friendly Botnet

              by Andrew McCaskey
              It looks like that Juvenile Delinquent Bittorrent has some community service time lined up.

              The University of Washington Phalanx system recruits a number of friendly computer systems to act as front ends for a computer that is subject to Distributed Denial of Service attacks.

              The simulation showed 7500 such friendly installations could defend against a million machine botnet targeting a friendly installation for DDOS attack.

              Although the initial idea was to organize these defender processes on machines owned by someone like Akamai or Limelight Networks, researchers suggested that a better way would be to include the code as a process in bittorrent clients. Doing a little good for the community while being used in other ways.

              That is going to give throttling or shaping ISP’s like Comcast something to think about. It might just be to their advantage to let some of that bittorrent traffic thorough. It might be on a legitimate mission.

                  Digital Divide’s Deepest Divide

                  by Andrew McCaskey
                  The study in a Boston based Psychology Journal offers insight into one of the more subtle issues in the access of information via the internet.

                  We had always been operating under the assumption that the digital divide was caused by socio-economic factors, and that the high cost of equipment and access was the villain. This study indicates that this may not be the case.

                  As the amount of public access in libraries increases, the price of computer hardware drops to the point of almost any consumer entertainment device. And, with the grow of music downloading, IM, social media and higher speed connections, access has become more open.

                  And, we have had ten or fifteen years of at least some skill building in use of computers as they spread throughout society.

                  What has not been keeping pace ? Apparently this study indicates that critical thinking (as manifest by search skills) has not kept pace. While Google is the automatic starting point for the vast majority of educated and skilled workers, the first AOL result is often satisfying and the end point of the investigation.

                  At the rate we are going hardware wise, maybe we should spend less time on keyboarding class, and more time building search skills and the skills in evaluating the information that is found.

                      Old Technology Lessons

                      by Andrew McCaskey
                      The death of radio has been forecast at least four times during the past ninety years – and each time it has been able to reinvent itself as a news and entertainment medium. Even in spite of it’s current state of decay in a Clear-Channel dominated world, the Public Radio segment is alive and well and as the demographic of the Baby Boomers tracks into retirement, radio is well positioned ( along with Podcasting – a form of time shifted / location shifted radio) to fill news and entertainment needs well into the future.

                      The New York TImes reported the same phenomenon in movies and mainframes.

                      It’s sort of encouraging – the fact that after a brief period of orientation and adjustment, the old tech can evolve to meet consumer needs. Not necessarily will evolve, but can. And the fact that it is possible is what means the most.

                          X-Prize at the Right Time

                          by Andrew McCaskey
                          You could not have selected a more suitable time to introduce the X-prize competition if you were seeking some way to capture the imagination of the public.

                          Even those of us who are fortunate to spend most of their working time working from home – as long as the VPN stays up – feel the pinch when we do venture out.

                          RIght now there is a minor blip down to $3.25 a gallon, but within weeks we will be tagging along at the $4 a gallon gasoline limit which extends the pain to the point where almost everyone is affected.

                          The cup holder / chrome competition from traditional American car makers may have finally been broken – and this is an opening for both style and technology to begin to make a real difference.

                          Regardless of the appearance – jet plane or batmobile – if the levels of performance are there, it will certainly capture the imagination of the public. And the zero to sixty in less than five seconds + 92mph will attract attention like nothing else.

                              Hotspots Going Obsolete

                              by Andrew McCaskey
                              Ericsson would like us to believe that hotspots are going to go obsolete. OOps I thought that they were just now getting here.

                              I am a bit skeptical on the predictions – not being sure that Ericsson/Sony are in a position to insure the unconditional success of HSPA as a wireless broadband technology.

                              In the long run, though – they might be right. I expect that it will not be along the lines that they will be happy with – I expect that the next overbuild will be along similar lines that MCI and Sprint did in years gone by to traditional telcos .

                              Simple bypass to commercial accounts, but now with the additional capability to use Wimax to hit early adopter and prosumer accounts are going to leave both Telcos and traditional (voice ) wireless in a race to the bottom – as if it’s not already close.

                                  The writers’ strike continues, and it’s interesting to note that the TV industry – or more properly the content delivery industry is not above covering some bets on the delivery channel in the meantime. While the over the air and through the cable portions of the business are in a bit of strike induced termoil, there is no problem keeping the brand in motion with some strategically leaked content that just happens to show up in torrent form.

                                  Jackass 2.5 ( from the same team that has aimed low and hit successfully with Jackass-The Movie ) has decided to release to YouTube, and carpet bomb all sorts of internet channels with clips and segments as a means of increasing the awareness for the paid DVD version of their entertainment product.

                                  Meantime, as was cited on NPR today, the makeup artists, grips, and others in television are being held to a protracted match between the writers and producers.

                                  How much will be left when they all get back online will be debatable. The content folks will win – you have to have the writers. But how much in the middle will be weakened ?

                                      Firebrand Makes Hot Commercials

                                      I have to admit I was as skeptical as the next guy when I read about the new media outlet whose business plan – for a video site – was all commercials, almost all the time.

                                      The almost being the small amount of time where the “CJ” (sort of like a VJ on MTV) provides some easy on the eyes transitions from one commercial to the next. From time to time, they also provide an opportunity to download some non-DRM’d music if it appears in the commercial – all the more to get the tune into your head.

                                      You would think that years of Tivo commercial skipping would pretty much make this business model DOA. After about fifteen minutes on the site, I was wishing there was some way to get the content up on the plasma in the family room.

                                      There is something about well done, clever and creative content that cuts through even the skip-over speed on the Tivo. There have been many a time when I’ve intended to skip, and there was something about the commercial that caught my eye – enough that I would go back to purposely watch it.

                                      That’s the sort of advertising that I saw in my first foray to Firebrand.com
                                      Give it a try – you might really like it.

                                          Spying on Analyst Brains

                                          The military problem remains – not the gathering of the image data – but in the resources (human and machine) to process and interpret the stream of data in the search for meaningful, actionable information.

                                          The DARPA experiment observing the limbic brain response to extremely short exposure (on the order of 100 milliseconds) – before a human thought can be formed is an exciting development. It is also a clue to how much we yet have to learn concerning the capabilities of brains and our specie’s ability to react to an ever changing environment.

                                          That’s what the writers, producers, and advertisers have to look to as well. The flee or flight response embedded in our human ancestor’s DNA is going to come in handy in the next few months.

                                          I had a chance to attend a ProTools instruction session last evening – once again to see how the technology behind pop music continues to disrupt entertainment and the music industry. Television is right in the middle of a similar shift – with writers today, but only a few months away from similar moves by actors and others within the industry.

                                          The shake out will determine the shape of the industry for many years to come. The last big dislocation came in the ASCAP/BMI strike in 1941.

The DARPA experiment observing the limbic brain response to extremely short exposure (on the order of 100 milliseconds) - before a human thought can be formed is an exciting development. It is also a clue to how much we yet have to learn concerning the capabilities of brains and our specie's ability to react to an ever changing environment. That's what the writers, producers, and advertisers have to look to as well. The flee or flight response embedded in our human ancestor's DNA is going to come in handy in the next few months. I had a chance to attend a ProTools instruction session last evening - once again to see how the technology behind pop music continues to disrupt entertainment and the music industry. Television is right in the middle of a similar shift - with writers today, but only a few months away from similar moves by actors and others within the industry. The shake out will determine the shape of the industry for many years to come. The last big dislocation came in the ASCAP/BMI strike in 1941.
