I suppose there are lots of companies who are dabbling in this space of what i would say Web 3.0, where we would come out of the traditional Search based access of the data and intorduce some newer ways of interaction.</p> <p>Other Topics of choice would be, more deeper Audio and Video Research firms/projects.</p> Hi Om,

I checked out the website. Looks like a good website and a good service.

However,

  1. Why would i not use the Alarm Clock feature on my cell phone, which is with me wherever I travel and gets me the local time as soon as I trun the phone on anywhere in this world?

  2. Why should I pay upto $15 a month just to replace an alarm clock that I carry on my belt?

  3. A toaster still toasts a slice of bread. Selling toasted bread as a service, just so one can save 5 secs in the morning does not make sense.

If we could only get one or two more analysts who investigates and reports on what is really happening, away from Carrier and Vendor spin, in the world of Last Mile Wireless Networks.
This is such a critical market segment today and there is so much Hype floating around that we need some type of Spin-control

This to include:
CellCo hype ref their Data networks throughput and latency issues. WHy are they delaying WiFi integration?

Wireless Mesh Networks and the performance and cost effectiveness of 1 and 2 radio Mesh operating in a large metro markets and the hype around Ad Supported networks. This is a potential disaster waiting to happen to this incredibly exciting market.

What is happening with the AWS spectrum ? WHo is developing radios for this space and will it be overshadowed by the planned 700Mhz spectrum auction in 2008.

The closest anyone comes to this is Glenn Fleishman and Phil Cringley. We need more folks like them who are willing to challenge these Vendors/Carriers and Service Providers who are spinning their solutions.
Someone needs to ask more hard questions.

Service Provider in all the above spaces

One of the most interesting things I read on WWD was about the emergence of social collaborative tools and thier gaining importance in the corporate circles--patterns, relationship-enabled network effects, etc. Anything related that bridges the gap about how we interact offline and online would be a great insight. Looking forward to more great posts from the GigaOM team... Avadhut</p> Hi Om,
