Subject: [digitalcityforum] [Digital City Forum Digest] Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Cable Cos.

By Dave M. Ewalt

NEW YORK - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that cable companies are under no legal obligation to share their lines with smaller Internet service providers, dealing a major blow to independent ISPs, extending the power of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, and opening up the possibility of extensive deregulation in the telecommunications world.

The Court's 6-3 ruling in Federal Communications Commission vs. Brand X Internet upheld an earlier FCC decision saying cable operators were exempt from common-carrier regulations that apply to phone companies.

Because their transmissions are classified as "telecommunications services," phone companies such as SBC Communications (nyse: SBC - news - people) and Verizon Communications (nyse: VZ - news - people) are required by law to provide access to their lines.

That means independent ISPs are able to buy access to those networks at wholesale prices and resell high-speed digital subscriber lines (known as DSL) to their customers.

===============================================
WiMAX: Market forecasts and analysis, 2004-2009
===============================================

WiMAX will revolutionise the broadband wireless access industry. WiMAX -
the user-friendly name for the 802.16 standard - is the most-hyped fixed
wireless technology in years. Intel, its most powerful and vocal
supporter, has called 802.16 "the most important thing since the
internet", and labels it as the next key disruptive technology, after
Wi-Fi. BUT IS IT?

--------------------------
How successful will it be?
--------------------------

There is a plethora of wireless standards emerging from the IEEE and
other industry bodies, but only WiMAX addresses all the key elements
needed to make high-end wireless a reality. The key factor that
differentiates WiMAX from earlier BWA recurrences is standardisation,
giving the technology a base from which to penetrate the market. Handset
leader Nokia's U-turns on the WiMAX Forum can be seen in terms of both
the threat and opportunity that the technology poses to the cellular
industry - and YOU need to be part of this opportunity.

WiMAX offers two major value propositions, initially fixed wireless
broadband access as an alternative to DSL and cable, followed by
nomadic/portable broadband, which is where the true value and disruptive
potential of the technology lies. Indeed, this is what Intel is putting
its weight behind: the promise of a WiMAX 'Centrino', hoping to create a
market just like it did with Wi-Fi.

--------------
Discover why?:
--------------
- Much of the success (or failure) will depend on 802.16e's mobility
timeline
- Mobile WiMAX only has a short window of opportunity from which to
establish a foothold
- Broader IC vendor support is needed to fulfil the promise of price
declines

The question is will WiMAX live up to its potential, or be confined to
failure like so many other over-hyped technologies. Find out by reading
visiongain's exclusive report TODAY.

------------------------------------
This report goes behind the hype to:
------------------------------------
- Explain the true potential of WiMAX
- Define the role it is likely to play in various versions and
applications
- Discover what technical, industry and regulatory challenges must be
overcome before WiMAX is a true contender

Operators are still trying to assess the capabilities of 802.16-type
products and how these solutions would fit into their service offers,
but visiongain expects most of the world's fixed and mobile operators to
incorporate some form of WiMAX functionality. Find out how and why.

This 200+ page report examines the significance and impact of WiMAX, and
the obstacles in its path. It outlines and examines the various
solutions offered by the leading vendors on the market and offers a
comparative analysis. Operators that are looking at WiMAX are also
investigated, as are general operator attitudes towards the technology.

The study also looks at how WiMAX interoperates and potentially clashes
with other wireless standards in the WLAN and cellular markets. In
addition, the ability of WiMAX to replace wired systems in last mile and
enterprise markets is comprehensively analysed, as are its target
geographic and end-user markets.

It evaluates current BWA business models and future WiMAX ones,
examining how operators and vendors can make money from 802.16 and which
ones will succeed. Detailed case studies are presented along the way and
the most promising geographies, markets and applications are identified.

The DIGITAL CITY 2005
Digital Cities Across The Globe

The Digital City Forum is a Silicon Valley initiative that will
organize a series of 8 events to review the position of the different
parties involved in the United States as well as one special event on
what is happening abroad.

The first event gave us an insightful perspective of several
connected cities, Milpitas, Lompoc, San Carlos and Palo Alto in
regards to their deployment of wireless access (WIFI) and other form
of broadband access. The second event provided us with a better
understanding of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) infrastructure in the
context of a "TRIPLE PLAY" from the point of view of equipment
manufacturer, broadband service provider and a real case deployment.

In the third installment of our program we will focus on deployment
of broadband technologies in connected cities and metropolis outside
United States. We will look at the drivers behind new communication
infrastructure, economics and lessons learned across the world.

As a reminder, this third event is part of a larger program that will
help us understand the different aspects of the `4 WAYS PLAY` (Video,
Telephony, Mobile and Internet access) that is going to hit us in the
future coming from the next generation service providers being
telecom service providers, cable companies, cities or new entrants.

We hope you will enjoy this program and let us know if you want to
participate in its organization. You may also forward this invitation
to people you know who could be interested.

I am sorry to have missed this meeting At some later time, we would also
like to make a presentation regarding our Wi-Fi Mesh product that uses
multiple radios to get around the messy single radio bandwidth degradation
problem. A quick overview is on the Linux Devices preview of our mesh
product: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8452908209.html

The DIGITAL CITY 2005

Digital Cities Across The Globe

The Digital City Forum is a Silicon Valley initiative that will
organize a series of 8 events to review the position of the different
parties involved in the United States as well as one special event on
what is happening abroad.

The first event gave us an insightful perspective of several
connected cities, Milpitas, Lompoc, San Carlos and Palo Alto in
regards to their deployment of wireless access (WIFI) and other form
of broadband access. The second event provided us with a better
understanding of Fiber To The Home (FTTH) infrastructure in the
context of a "TRIPLE PLAY" from the point of view of
equipment
manufacturer, broadband service provider and a real case deployment.

In the third installment of our program we will focus on deployment
of broadband technologies in connected cities and metropolis outside
United States. We will look at the drivers behind new communication
infrastructure, economics and lessons learned across the world.

As a reminder, this third event is part of a larger program that will
help us understand the different aspects of the `4 WAYS PLAY` (Video,
Telephony, Mobile and Internet access) that is going to hit us in the
future coming from the next generation service providers being
telecom service providers, cable companies, cities or new entrants.

We hope you will enjoy this program and let us know if you want to
participate in its organization. You may also forward this invitation
to people you know who could be interested.

The DIGITAL CITY 2005
FTTH (Fiber to the Home): From City Decision to Services Deployments.

The Digital City Forum is a Silicon Valley initiative that will
organize a series of 8 events to review the position of the different
parties involved in the United States as well as one special event on
what is happening abroad.

The first event of our Digital City series allowed us to listen to
and understand the different approaches of several cities like
Milpitas, Lompoc, San Carlos and Palo Alto in terms of deployments of
WIFI and broadband access in their towns. We have seen that there is
much more at stake than calling for free from a city hotspot and that
some smaller cities were providing more services due to the lack of
incumbents adequate offerings, combining wireless with fiber to
minimize the funding needs and have a faster return on investment and
that some others, maybe a little bigger, were focusing on Public
Safety and First Responders to avoid the communication fiasco that
9/11 created on the ground.

In our second event, our goal is to have a better understanding of
why cities want to deploy FTTH (Fiber To The Home), how a project
this size is managed, with what technology behind and what are the
services we will see once this infrastructure is deployed.

As a reminder, this second event is part of a larger program that
will help us understand the different aspects of the "4 WAYS PLAY"
(Video, fixed telephone, wireless phone and internet access) that is
going to hit us in the future coming from the service providers of
the future being the telecom service providers, the cable companies,
the cities or others not identified yet.

We hope you will enjoy this program and let us know if you want to
participate in its organization. You may also forward this invitation
to people you know who could be interested.
