I really believe that we are facing a serious problem with the poor quality of the high speed internet being delivered to many consumers. If we're to have an information driven economy, we cannot afford to let other countries have better wired consumers. Maybe new technologies will fix the problem, but right now there is definitely a challenge facing those of us that depend on bandwidth to get our jobs done. 9:25:00 PM    comment []

Originally posted November 22- e-mail post failed As I have reported on some of my other blogs, this morning Typepad is down. When a tool becomes part of your routine and then breaks, it causes some consternation. I know that Typepad has been undergoing some serious growing pains. Yet having the system down so that we're unable to access our blogs to edit, create new ones, or view our statistics is disconcerting. I was very close to closing some of my other accounts and going strictly with Typepad. I'll now hold off on that decision and perhaps even more seriously examine some alternatives. Each system that I have been using, Radioland, Bubbler, Blogger, and Typepad have features that I like. All are getting better in feature sets, but Typepad seemed to have the right mix for me, but I have to have dependable service if I'm going to seriously use this medium. Having system that is inaccessible for hours without notice is clearly unacceptable. Based on those performance issues, I'll likely be posting more at my other blogs including here. 9:22:00 PM    comment []

The web world lives on bandwidth.  I'm beginning to believe that the pipes that we have to our homes just are sufficient these days.  It seems like I'm always waiting for something to refresh.  It's a shame to other countries do a better job of wiring their population. 9:13:22 PM    comment []
