SJ Mercury: Apple stands firm against entertainment cartel. Dan Gillmor. I wonder, now that I've published this, whether an upcoming version of the DVD Player will remove this user-friendly feature. Which leads me into some other questions: Can Apple's distinctly pro-customer approach continue in the face of Hollywood's ire and the entertainment industry's clout in Congress? [Tomalak's Realm]

AT&T Wireless sees no demand for WCDMA

AT&T Wireless, the third largest U.S. wireless carrier, today said it saw no demand for 3G WCDMA services. The carrier made the announcement at the UMTS and Mobile Internet Conference in Paris, France. WCDMA promises data speeds of up to as fast as 2 megabits per second, which is more than 13 times faster than AT&T Wireless's current 2.5G GPRS high-speed network. Japan's NTT DoCoMo, which launched WCDMA a year ago, has been struggling to recruit users. In Europe, the roll out of WCDMA networks has been plagued by delays with cash-strapped carriers choosing to focus instead on repairing their battered balance sheets after spending billions on wireless licenses in 2000. Despite the statement, though, AT&T Wireless spokesman Mark Siegel said the carrier is still committed to WCDMA: "We remain firmly committed to UMTS. It is our future." The U.S. carrier is expected to begin roll out of its WCDMA services in four or five years. [courtesy of Fierce Wireless]
