      Google Wireless and the Auction

      The upcoming spectrum auction for the 700 Mhz spectrum could hold the key to a new chapter in the Wireless world in the US. And, that is exactly what the incumbent carriers fear, the idea of competition that might disturb the cozy environment of pseudo-competition that’s ru nf or the past twenty years.

      The lock-in (to two year contracts) and lock-down (limiting the services that your phone can provide, regardless of the capability of the instrument ) puts these carriers into a special class of aggravation for consumers.

      If Google can break this, offering a service that overcomes these two limitations, they will have a winner. It is so obvious a business plan, it hurts.

          Location as the Next Big Thing

          Two of the articles today need to be taken together – the idea of location based information as the Next Big Thing, and the idea of the rise of Blogging, Twitter, and Pownce as the next interation in the narrowing of the news cycle.

          How much of the daily news do you need to know, and why do you need to know it ?

          It’s more than a philosophical question, especially as I screen and edit stories for the podcast each evening.

          First of all, there is the local and immediate – weather to plan for, traffic delays to route around – that come to listeners through other channels.

          Next there are the obvious job related alerts – like the Adobe key logger exploit.

          But where did the mention of the Victorian Internet – the Telegraph come from ? What about the analog computer from World War II and New Zealand rabbit populations ? The item on the brain protein that regulates fear ?

          Each of those stories are neither location or time relevant. I’m glad that each is in the “news”. It’s the opportunity to ponder, if only for a moment, the human interaction of the technology that we all swim in without realization.

          Positioning in place and time might be the most important story of the day.

              Free Treo Exercise

              The analysis of a Free Treo versus the iPhone continues the thread that I have been pulling on for several weeks – trying to understand if there is any business reason for the iPhone or the alternatives of Blackberry, HTC, Q-Phone, Nokia or others.

              My conclusion is that they are ALL expensive and your choices, such as they are will be as much carrier based as hardware based.

              It’s a part of the shift that most of us have – with connectivity being the second or third largest budget item each month other than food, depending upon the transport needs that you might have as a part of your employment.

              My thoughts return to Merlin Mann’s comments – unless you are a drug dealer or a commodities trader how much do you really “need” to be in constant connection ? Maybe being plugged in via Wifi twice day in your normal movement is not only cheaper but will enable more focus on your part.

              My thoughts are coming back full circle to the use of the N800 internet tablet, with Skype/Gizmo application software.

                  iPhone Shortcomings for Business Users

                  Shortcomings in devices have a real way of wearing upon you when it gets tossed up in your face on a daily basis.

                  That seems to be the conclusion of the blog post one week into the iPhone era. While admitting that the iPhone is a 1.0 software revision, there were a number of curious omissions from the current iPhone design.

                  The most perplexing of these is the management of a simple to-do list. There isn’t one. There is a work around from the 37 Signals folks at http://www.tadalist.com/ .

                  Email- messenging shortcomings are close to annoying.

                  But the most significant of all is the dependence and lock in to a single network.

                  Michael Robertson has an excellent article published before the iPhone was released that raised a number of these issues: http://www.michaelrobertson.com/archive.php?minute_id=240

                  I suspect that it will sell a number of Nokia phones.

                  ——
                  SPECIAL NOTE:

                  For the first time since October 12, 2004, I will intentionally not produce a regularly scheduled episode tomorrow July 12 (for play in North America Friday morning).

                  The reason ? My youngest daughter’s wedding this Saturday, July 14. With family travel, a Wedding Party BBQ, Rehersal Dinner, Wedding, Dinner, Brunch — my time is required elsewhere.

                  I plan to be back on the air Sunday night to resume regular episode service.

                  The forecast is for great weather in Indianapolis, and we hope that you have as good a weekend as we hope to have at this very happy family time.

That seems to be the conclusion of the blog post one week into the iPhone era. While admitting that the iPhone is a 1.0 software revision, there were a number of curious omissions from the current iPhone design. The most perplexing of these is the management of a simple to-do list. There isn't one. There is a work around from the 37 Signals folks at http://www.tadalist.com/ . Email- messenging shortcomings are close to annoying. But the most significant of all is the dependence and lock in to a single network. Michael Robertson has an excellent article published before the iPhone was released that raised a number of these issues: http://www.michaelrobertson.com/archive.php?minute_id=240 I suspect that it will sell a number of Nokia phones. ------ SPECIAL NOTE: For the first time since October 12, 2004, I will intentionally not produce a regularly scheduled episode tomorrow July 12 (for play in North America Friday morning). The reason ? My youngest daughter's wedding this Saturday, July 14. With family travel, a Wedding Party BBQ, Rehersal Dinner, Wedding, Dinner, Brunch -- my time is required elsewhere. I plan to be back on the air Sunday night to resume regular episode service. The forecast is for great weather in Indianapolis, and we hope that you have as good a weekend as we hope to have at this very happy family time. ---------- (/wp-images/YTlogo.gif) Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

                          The ISP measurement and packet traffic shaping does not surprise me too much. There seems to be considerable variation in the levels of service that I get from Comcast – and when I am at my daughter’s house in Avon, IN it verges on the close to dial-up mode.

                          Verizon’s policy of copper removal (after a customer signs up for FiOS fiber to the home) positions sounds like a combination of the pragmatic and a realization that it’s still a good idea to keep your eye on some over the air alternatives (WiMax probably a leading contender).

                          Still always a good idea to at least try and eliminate that single point of failure.

                              T-Mobile’s New Strategy

                              T-Mobile might just have a winning strategy among early adopters – with mainstream users not too far behind.

                              The Wall Street Journal and others made the point that the iPhone was a symptomatic treatment not a cure for what really ails the consumer: the carriers.

                              My recent trip to the ATT/Cingular store to look at the iPhone versus Blackberry versus Nokia 61i Smartphone disclosed how boxed in I really am: Even though I am past the 2 year contract period it is still going to take a “modification” to my plan, and another two year contract – regardless of which approach I take. In my case over $100 a month for the family plan. That “unlimited data” is not really unlimited data – it is unlimited opportunity to purchase ringtones, $2.99 music downloads or other services. There is another $20 per month to get “email unlimited data”.

                              If I am going to swallow a two year lock-in , maybe it is time to change carriers.

                              The T-mobile approach – with the WiFi option begins to look really attractive. The savings comes from cancelling the landline completely – and with the WiFi access point inside the house, the one objection to use of the mobile phone as the primary (spotty or non-existant coverage inside the aluminum siding) goes away.

                              I am going to be watching this one closely.

My recent trip to the ATT/Cingular store to look at the iPhone versus Blackberry versus Nokia 61i Smartphone disclosed how boxed in I really am: Even though I am past the 2 year contract period it is still going to take a "modification" to my plan, and another two year contract - regardless of which approach I take. In my case over $100 a month for the family plan. That "unlimited data" is not really unlimited data - it is unlimited opportunity to purchase ringtones, $2.99 music downloads or other services. There is another $20 per month to get "email unlimited data". If I am going to swallow a two year lock-in , maybe it is time to change carriers. The T-mobile approach - with the WiFi option begins to look really attractive. The savings comes from cancelling the landline completely - and with the WiFi access point inside the house, the one objection to use of the mobile phone as the primary (spotty or non-existant coverage inside the aluminum siding) goes away. I am going to be watching this one closely. (/wp-images/YTlogo.gif) Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

                                  Happy 4th of July !

                                  Taking some family time today – so very brief remarks: This is just the start of several weeks of family activity surrounding a really happy time.

                                  This week is the start of family visitors leading up to the big event next week – my youngest daughter’s wedding. Podcasting is going to be taking second seat over the next ten days.

                                  Saturday, we expect part of the family to fly in and do double duty – in for the wedding and in for High School reunion which happened to have really good scheduling. That’s going to be the beginning of several days of interleaved work, podcasting and hosting. And as the big day approaches, Bridezilla sightings – while unlikely – are possible.

                                  Then after, the wedding, house guests and visits plus some sightseeing stirred in.

                                  The dog and I are keeping a low profile.

                                      Apple is the Winner: ATT – Not so Much …

                                      The iPhone introduction went well – or not – depending upon your location: Apple store or local ATT store. The “out of Box Experience” apparently went well ( as with almost every Apple product) – but the big stumbling block, regardless of the source, seemed to be the activation process.

                                      It’s not clear if this is an ATT problem or an iTunes / Apple issue – but if it does not get corrected quickly that is the sort of thing that can spoil the party for months to come.

                                      Reportedly, over half a million were sold – not a bad day’s work from the ATT perspective, but as the Ars Technica article said ATT should not get too comfortable. This morning’s NPR reported that the biggest lines were those who wanted to see the iPhone. Not those who wanted to buy.

                                          It looks like Kevin Rose has staked out the sweet spot between IM, instant web posting (think Twitter) , and lesser means of communications. Adding in personalized skins, and the ability to communicate selectively to small groups as well as individuals, it looks like Powance is moving to the next level.

                                          David Gilson – SDR News Video Scout

                                          I’d like for you to take special note of some news from the UK today from David Gilson – who has been having some real problems with torrential rains. David has spent a lot of time and effort as our video scout, locating and screening YouTube videos for the SDR Group – had a note today that he needs some time off.. to fill sandbags. A close call Tuesday night, with floodwaters at his doorsill, and forecast for heavy rains this weekend.

                                          David, feel sure SDR Listeners worldwide are hoping that you have a quiet weekend, that the waters recede, and that you come thru this un-dampened.

Adding in personalized skins, and the ability to communicate selectively to small groups as well as individuals, it looks like Powance is moving to the next level. You can sign up for the beta test waitlist and get in on the fun. David Gilson - SDR News Video Scout I'd like for you to take special note of some news from the UK today from David Gilson - who has been having some real problems with torrential rains. David has spent a lot of time and effort as our video scout, locating and screening YouTube videos for the SDR Group - had a note today that he needs some time off.. to fill sandbags. A close call Tuesday night, with floodwaters at his doorsill, and forecast for heavy rains this weekend. David, feel sure SDR Listeners worldwide are hoping that you have a quiet weekend, that the waters recede, and that you come thru this un-dampened. Photos of Flooding in UK from David's house.
