Wireless blog

Kevin Werbach, Clay Shirky, Andrew Odlyzko, and David Isenberg have launched the Wireless Unleashed weblog. These are some way smart folks, so if you care about how we can give everyone more spectrum than we'd ever though imaginable, you might want to tune in.

funny, but the cast of characters you mention here made me read down your blog with a keen eye for finding a woman to see what they/we might be up to in the making news department. I read lots of posts down into May. Didn't see one.

What this says to me, you being the ultimate fair and balanced blogger, and that is said sincerely, is that we women are just not flying above the blog noise radar these days.

This isn't so much a comment to you, David, but more to me, reinforcing what I've been feeling and why I haven't felt like writing anything meaningful lateley. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's getting creepy. Too much noise from the homogeny of voices, who are all starting to rather resemble one another. It's like people looking like their pets.

Either that, or I gotta get out more.

It is a shame that FCC is concerned about how much money it can get for selling the spectrums it controls. I'm afraid it is a question of who has billions of dollars as to who will get the spectrum rather than to what use the spectrum will be put./ I'll give an example. A start up Conompany raised billions of dollars through an IPO without having any operations due to the ability of its founders to raise the capital. It bid for the choice broadband spectrum (1900MHZ+) and succeeded in its bid. Then it ran out of money to continue the operations. It faced bankruptcy. FCC allowed it to sell the spectrum to Cingular and verizon who owned rest of the spectrum ever issued. These giants used all the spectrum they owned for the purpose of offering cellular communications. In other word for supporting the cellphone service.

Talking of the use of the Spectrum, presently that is what it can be used for. But If I had the spectrum I would use it for a different purpose. That purpose is the offering of Internet service that can be delivered through the use of the same cellphones. That requires the rewriting of the codes that will change the client and server rfole. The new role of the servers would to receive the web surfing data from the clients and process it. Presently the clients ask the servers for the files and then use these files and the information possessed by them to surf the web. It is the reason Hackers are able to hack. In addition a client can't be used for multitassking. In other words perform a number of tasks simultaneously. Hence the client processor remains idle between the clicks awaiting processing instructions. If the same tasks are performed by the server there will be multitasking since a server can service many clients simultaneously and there will be no idle processor time. The internet service will be lightening fast.

Hi Everyone :
One small question. I am planning to put a wireless access to my 4 room condo. I do rent them and I want to give wireless access to my tenant. My question is, Can I put some kind of disclaimer as soon as users connect to wireless access point or router? or do I need some kind of server or something.
What I understand is when you connect to access point using you computer (either access point or router lease IP via DHCP server) and at that DHCP can do the trick for disclamer.
Any suggestion will be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance to all.

Hello, I use a d-link wireless card, and its great when i'm upstaires doing my work. But , when i go downstaires , it says connection is low and it cannot open any websites, or if it does- they close and loose connection within a few minutes.
How far SHOULD the range be?
I'm likely out of range i know, but, is there any other card i can get, what wireless card will give me the furthest range ?
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks,
Sharvani
