Blog-roll housecleaning

Time once again for procrastination editing the blogroll to add those I've been reading more of late. Please welcome Don Park, Ole Eichhorn, Rich Miller, and the gang at the Strategy and Policy Unit of the ITU. Good stuff, I recommend a look if you haven't seen them before.

The Beeb on Internet advertising

Nice piece by Bill Thompson on the state of play in producer creativity and user rejection of Internet advertising. Also some pithy, on-point comments from readers.

Interesting portable wireless server/AP

Toshiba has announced what looks like a nice package of server, WiFi AP, and security, running Red Hat Linux. The fun part is that it's in a laptop form factor - a briefcase server. Maybe a little pricey at $1500, but looks like a very clean drop-in solution for a small office, even nicer for a remote work team that has to be mobile and secure, like auditors or subcontractors. If they'd defeature it a bit and drop the price, it could be nice for the home/home office WLAN users.

802.16: It's all about the backhaul

Cogent comments from Glenn Fleishman re the potential impact of 802.16 backhaul on the economics of the WiFi hotspotting business. This fits right in with my earlier post reporting on the issues facing Cometa.
