>>>I wonder if incumbents – Comcast, SBC etc., – will start offering Sereniti-style home network management services.

Looks great, but… “Hypertext links to connect you with the growing internet world. Updated frequently.” Let me guess; that started life as Lorem Ipsum, and just had to be filled? :)

Great design, simple layout, highlighting things that should be highlighted withour cluttering the page. Nice color combination and lots of white space :)

However, a bit confused about how “Web 2.0 goodness” fits into the picture.

Ouch. Your site is now so elegant that it serves as a reminder that I should stick to hacking code, not designing my own amateur-in-comparison looking web sites :)

Cheers,
A B2.0 and gigaom.com reader.

Hi, Om. I’m an e-business lecturer at London South Bank University and run Bear Storm as a spin-off company, and have been trying to figure the business model for a blog for some time now. Just switched (literally, a few minutes before picking up your latest headline) on something similar to your Gigalinks section, called Blog World. Hope you don’t mind being included.

While I appreciate the direction this redesign has taken your site I by far prefer the prior version.

This new design looks too ‘basic’ and doesn’t do your content justice, IMO.

I work on a LAN with 100 Mbps symmetrical. My workgroup is approx 200 people. Internet access is restricted to 10 Mbps, shared by all users.
We use this difference in capacity daily without thinking about it.
What Mark Cuban is suggesting (in my opinion) is that the LAN is extended to a much larger group, be it a borough or smaller unit. Seems to me that the technology (other than bigger access pipes) is sitting right under our noses….

What are the chances of Apple releasing a cellphone? Would be nice to see Apple getting into a fight with Nokia. :)

” DSL Forum’s TR-069 has this as an objective. From the FIOS web page, they say that the customer has to use its router, because it can be remotely managed. So it is coming.”

I think ‘remotely managing’ the router means they can remotely troubleshoot it, send upgrades etc. Telcos usually reserve the ‘remotely managed network’ piece for enterprise customers. On a related note, Verizon is planning to use MoCA for home networking
