OpenP2P.com: The Great Rewiring [Aug. 20, 2001] : OpenP2P.com editor Richard Koman reached Shirky by phone to talk about this "rewiring," Web services and the future of P2P. Lots of great analysis from Clay.

NTL trials wireless broadband - The Register Aug 20 2001 9:16AM ET [ Internet Europe news] This one's actually quite curious. You have to have line of site access to an NTL transmitter, but then they're going to give you cable modem speed internet access over a wireless link. It's not 802.11b but seems to be some side effect of the opening up of spectrum in the last couple of years. It does provide another alternative to DSL and digging up the road.

Just added some pictures of this to the Feet Forwards web site. FF One-Offs and Home Builts : Jon Watkins - STV. Amazing KLX650 based device that has appeared in the USA. Appeared in Cycle World and MCN.

The Content Management Paradox - Governments are still spending public money to subsidise static web sites [Content Wire via NewsIsFree] Makes you wonder, doesn't it. And yet again you have to wonder just why "Content Management" software is so expensive.
