AT&T Announces Network Upgrades, Gets An Ear Full

AT&T sent out a letter to its wireless users explaining that they plan to spend between 18 and 19 billion dollars to upgrade their network. I'm not sure if they were expecting a pat on the back, but I am pretty sure they were not expecting to get blasted by their customers on their Facebook fan page.

Consultoría, investigación, docencia y divulgación

Cada vez me siento más cómodo definiendo nuestro proyecto de Consultoría Artesana en Red a través de estas cuatro líneas de trabajo. No sé si ha sido buscado o que simplemente ha emergido, pero creo que define bien lo que hacemos David y yo con la ayuda de todas esas otras personas con las que colaboramos.

• Consultoría porque es la forma en que tocamos realidad y mediante la que queremos implantar algunas de las cosas en torno a las que investigamos.
• Investigación alrededor de lo que llamamos empresa/economía abierta, para lo cual nos apoyamos en nuestro reciente trabajo para la EOI y al que queremos dar continuidad.
• Docencia mediante diversas fórmulas: talleres que sirvan para reflexionar y llevar ideas abiertas a la empresa, clases en cursos de postgrado y cursos a medida para empresas.
• Divulgación a través de artículos, sean académicos o más sencillos, participación en jornadas y conferencias, y continuando con una presencia intensiva en Internet.

Sí, me lo he escrito en este artículo para que no se me olvide, ahora que me siento cómodo con estas cuatro líneas. Otra cosa diferente es hablar del fondo de nuestro trabajo. Porque una cosa es decir cómo abordarlo y otra bien diferente aclarar en torno a qué. Y esto tiene su miga. Porque el centro de la diana tiene que ver con el diseño y puesta en marcha de fórmulas alternativas de (des)organizarse para conseguir aquello que queremos. Y eso admite muchos caminos asumiendo el principio de equifinalidad, ¿verdad?

De todas formas, colocar los cuatro ejes anteriores supone también reconocer que este modelo necesita siempre una colaboración intensiva con el ámbito universitario y de investigación. Es decir, que no es posible si no se desarrollan lazos estables con alguna entidad de cierto volumen. En nuestro caso, como ya sabéis, es Mondragon Unibertsitatea y MIK, pero también tendiendo lazos con otras instituciones.

Pues nada, sólo era para que no se me olvidara. En vez de copiármelo mil veces en la pizarra, me lo escribo en el blog

Apple and BridgeCo Bring iTunes to Every Stereo in Your House

An evolution of AirTunes, a feature that first premiered with the AirPort Express in 2004, AirPlay lets users stream their iTunes library from and to multiple locations, including the forthcoming Apple TV. It also offers the ability to control playback and manage playlists from an iPhone or iPod touch. The big difference with AirPlay is that instead of connecting an AirPort Express to an optical audio cable or headphone jack, music can be transmitted wirelessly to compatible stereo equipment.

CNBC has a profile of BridgeCo, the company responsible for making AirPlay work with stereo makers like Denon, iHome, Maranz, JBL and Bowers & Wilkens.

As CNBC notes, this appears to be the first time that Apple has opened up its iTunes software system to a third party. Similar music streaming systems such as Sonos or Logitech’s Squeezebox have required reverse engineering to work with iTunes’ streaming protocol. These systems can work quite well, but there is always the possibility that a software update could break compatibility.

This time, Apple let BridgeCo’s staff look at the iTunes code in order to build software that could be embedded into stereo systems and interface naturally with computers running iTunes.

Official compatibility also means that manufacturers can add features such as the ability to display song or playlist information on LED and LCD displays.

AirPlay will offer more than just wireless music streaming; beginning with iOS 4.2, users will also be able to stream video and audio content to an Apple TV from their iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. It isn’t clear if that capability will be supported to speaker systems, but that should be a theoretical option.

For BridgeCo, nabbing the Apple deal might just be what is able to push the company into the black. The 10-year old company still isn’t profitable but hopes to change that after the first wave of AirPlay-enabled devices start arriving in stores.

What do you think? Would you buy a stereo with AirPlay enabled?

Prioridades

El Gobierno ha decidido que bastantes cruces tiene ya encima como para ponerse a quitar las que adornan los edificios públicos de esta España nuestra, tan aconfesional como el apóstol Santiago, así que la ley de Libertad Religiosa quedará varada sin fecha ni esperanza en la arena de las promesas incumplidas. En el limbo, que dirían los creyentes. La noticia la adelantó Público hace unas semanas y ayer la volvió a confirmar el ministro de Justicia, Francisco Caamaño. La excusa es que la salida de la crisis es la única prioridad, así que el grupo parlamentario socialista se centrará exclusivamente en los temas económicos, que debe de ser que sus señorías no son multitarea. La excusa es falsa, porque esta reforma es la única a la que se da carpetazo, mientras que otros proyectos no económicos, como la ley del tabaco, siguen adelante.

“El borrador de la ley de Libertad Religiosa está ya hecho y con un lazo desde marzo, a la espera del momento político para llevarlo al Parlamento”, me cuenta uno de los expertos que ha participado en su redacción, “aunque en noviembre viene el Papa, el año que viene vuelve otra vez y ahora con los Presupuestos no es tampoco el mejor momento”. Y es cierto que lo primero es la negociación presupuestaria con el PNV, que no es precisamente el socio ideal para un reforma aconfesional. Pero después quedará un año y medio de legislatura, así que lo que falta no es tiempo, sino voluntad política. “Tal vez para después de 2012”, cuenta un diputado, “si volvemos a ganar”, matiza con tino. Cabe preguntarse a qué electorado pretende pedir el voto el Partido Socialista Obrero Español: a los que ha decepcionado con su política económica de derechas, o a los que no quiere ilusionar con el abandono de su política social de izquierdas.

Phone-hacking: MPs set to agree top inquiry

Speaker paves way for standards and privileges committee to question top News International figures over scandal

The net was tightening round News International last night after the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, paved the way for parliament's most powerful cross-party committee to investigate the phone-hacking scandal.

As a new opinion poll showed that 52% of voters believe that Andy Coulson should resign as the No 10 director of communications, leading News International figures face the prospect of being summoned to answer charges that MPs' phone messages have been hacked on behalf of the News of the World.

The commons standards and privileges committee, which will decide the terms of its inquiry after a short parliamentary debate today, can impose a range of punishments on anyone who refuses to appear. These include being summoned to appear before all MPs at the bar of the Commons chamber.

Rebekah Brooks, the News International chief executive, last year refused three invitations to give evidence from the less powerful commons culture committee. Les Hinton, the former executive chairman who is now chief executive of Dow Jones and Company, agreed to give evidence by video from New York only after being invited for the second time.

The establishment of the second parliamentary inquiry in as many days came as an opinion poll showed disquiet about Coulson's role, putting extra pressure on him to resign from No 10. Coulson, who resigned as News of the World editor after the paper's royal editor was jailed for hacking into phone messages, has consistently denied any knowledge of illegal activity.

The YouGov poll found that 52% of those questioned believe Coulson should lose his job. Just 24% believe he should keep it. The poll also showed there is little support for the main News International and Coulson defence: that the NoW's former royal editor, Clive Goodman, was a rogue reporter. Just 6% of those polled believe the Goodman case was an isolated incident. An overwhelming number (80%) believe that other newspapers do the same thing.

The Metropolitan police enjoys little support. Nearly half (47%) believe the police have not fully investigated the allegations; just 14% believe they did. There is strong support (54%) for the police to reopen their investigation. YouGov interviewed 2,089 adults between 6-7 September.

The poll came as Sean Hoare, a former NoW journalist who told the New York Times that Coulson encouraged phone hacking, confirmed that he would be happy to repeat his allegations to police. Hoare rang the Met to say he would voluntarily give them his account.

Hoare could also be asked to appear before the standards and privileges committee. The second parliamentary inquiry in as many days, following the decision of the home affairs select committee to examine the law around phone hacking, was triggered by Bercow. In a statement at the end of prime minister's questions, the Speaker allowed the shadow Europe minister, Chris Bryant, to table a motion referring allegations about the hacking of MPs' phones to the standards and privileges committee.

A short debate will be held today after which the matter is expected to be nodded through. Bercow is understood to take the allegations seriously. There are concerns that parliamentary privilege could have been breached if the NoW, or a private investigator acting on its behalf, hacked into messages from MPs' constituents.

The Speaker's decision shows how the phone-hacking scandal has deepened in recent days. Members of the standards and privileges committee, which is chaired by the Labour MP Kevin Barron, had indicated they did not believe they should consider the matter. They said that privilege would only be breached if an outsider sought to put pressure on an MP.

Tom Clarke, a former Labour minister who sits on the committee, said it was right for it to consider the case. "There will be a neutral, non-political judgment of the evidence before us," he said.

Clarke said he expected high-profile figures to be asked to give evidence. "It is a matter for Kevin Barron, but I would be surprised if the inquiry did not lead to people giving evidence," Clarke said.

The speaker's statement came after Nick Clegg, who was standing in for Cameron, attempted to embarrass Labour by revealing that Gordon Brown was the first person to commiserate with Coulson when he resigned as NoW editor. "He told him not to worry, that he had done the honourable thing and that he knew he would go on to do a worthwhile job," said Clegg.
