Is the News of the Death of the Media Monopoly Exaggerated or is it Right on Time?
What Reed helps us understand is that our telecommunications future, as well as future economic growth, are being held hostage by a regulatory regime based upon the telecom world as it was in 1932, well before Shannon's work in information theory, the invention of radar, the invention of the micro chip, and the advent of pervasive computing. One result is that the FCC ends up favoring companies while damaging the proper functioning of the market and creating obstacles to the commercialization of new innovations. This is a very odd unintended distortion.

An FYI for Radio users. Radio is a fully decentralized system. Even better, it provides you with a complete back-up of your weblog on your desktop and the ability to add to your weblog while disconnected. Given that it is decentralized, you can opt to self-host your weblog at your ISP or on your corporate Intranet in under a minute. It doesn't require anything fancy and little to no knowledge of technology. Here is how to do it. With Radio running, click on this link. It will take you to a page where you can type in the location, username, and password to your FTP location at your ISP or Intranet. Simple. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Cloud status: 64% of 20.0MB is free.
and it's not even May! I've admitted to being addicted to Radio, but this is too much! I have a server, but it's slower than the Cloud Server... It would be a pity, slowing down your site for excesive contents is not the right thing to do...
