Bought a new Nokia 6630 today – Nokia’s state of the art phone – i get home from a busy day and in my newsreader i can see that Nokia introduces what looks to be a new paradigm in mobile phones with the N-series.
Accepting that change happens very quickly these days is a required competence…

Wireless Train

Scoop: The worlds first wireless wifi train
What’s widely regarded as the worlds first wifi service on a train will debut in february on the Linx train between Copenhagen, Denmark and Gothenburg, Sweden.
Uses antennas on the roof of the train for the connection and wifi radios internally in the train.
The downstream is provided by satellite when available (100 kbit to 1mbit in testing), the upstream is done through several bundled gsm channels. The system is developed by Icomera.
I’ll try to give it a test in the end of february and post about the experience.

What i learned in Clay Shirky School today:
Clay Shirky puts some great context on an issue we realized early in the founding of Organic, but untill now didn’t have a vocabulary to describe.
Wifi is a product, not a service.

Apple: There’s no “a” in Wi-Fi

Thomas Madsen-Mygdal — Thu, 09 Jan 2003 01:03:45 +0000

Apple: There’s no “a” in Wi-Fi. What we all in the wifi industry has predicting for a long time is now happening. 802.11a is getting abandoned in favor of 802.11g utilizing the existing spectrum giving backwards compability with 802.11b and no spectrum issues in countries like Denmark.
The only doubt is the late certification of 802.11g, but with Apple choosing 802.11g that’s where the momentum is now.

Sprint launches flat rate pricing for 3G

Thomas Madsen-Mygdal — Mon, 21 Oct 2002 00:15:26 +0000

Sprint launches flat rate pricing for 3G. “$85 for data in combination with 1,250 voice minutes”. “From a business perspective [flat rates for data] is a damn bad idea. If they get tons of customers and tons of traffic because of the flat rate they won’t have the capacity. It is lethal. It’s a suicide course,” said John Strand, CEO of Strand Consult, based in London.
Great news concerning getting telco’s to understand the big picture – but why’ do we now need to hear from our lovely danish analyst friend Mr. Strand in Infoworld?

Wi-Fi and free lunches

John Patrick: Wi-Fi and free lunches
“The advent of Wi-Fi is about to change all of our lives in a major–and positive–way. I’ll go further: Wi-Fi is one of those grassroots phenomena that will soon become as ubiquitous as the PC itself. The latest laptops have Wi-Fi antennas built into the lids, while the wireless access points, which send and receive the Wi-Fi signals, now cost less than $100.”

Steve Ballmer – the Wifi pirate

Steve Ballmer – the Wifi pirate:

“I was in a hotel in Sun Valley last week that was not wired,” Ballmer recalls. “So I turned on my PC, and XP tells me there is a wireless network available. So I connect to something called Mountaineer.

“Well, I don’t know what that is. But I VPN into Microsoft. It worked! I don’t know whose broadband I used,” he chuckles. “I didn’t see it in Bill’s room. I called him up and said, ‘Hey, come over to my room.’ So soon everyone is there and connecting to the Internet through my room.”
