Free Internet for the US

Filed under: communications, internet, media — Tags: — bernie @ 3:34 pm

M2Z Networks Inc., a Kleiner Perkins-backed start-up that originally floated the free-Internet plan two years ago, appears to have a head start after the FCC dimissed complaints of interference to adjacent frequencies, Free internet with faster speed for subscribers could be a reality before 2012 with 95% covereage some 6 years later. In Canada the concentration of service providers means that the chances of free internet are small as long as they are so tightly integrated with the Government in support and legislative levels, even though the “High Speed ” they offer is but a fraction of what other countries have at a higher cost to us.

 Free internet in Canada……..one day maybe, but don’t hold your breath.

The politics of Money

Filed under: environment, media, news, rant, social justice — bernie @ 4:42 am

So how much will our MP’s care when elected about us joepublik? the likelyhood is very little, with their gold plated pention and expense account they just have to worry about the next election. What about the environment I hear you shout, well the next time I see an MP on transit I will be sure to publish it here, whatever happened about leading by example?

Lets face it, the malais in people and politics starts with the contemp politicians have for our money, to be spent more often than not on junkets and wild schemes (see gun registry) will they ever “Get it”?

Will the real John Chow step forward

Filed under: media — Tags: , , — bernie @ 3:25 am

To the outside world John Chow seem the fast taking high walking blogger, scartch the surface and you find a wghole new depth to John, gone is the sharkish attitude and the braggy demeanour and John the family guy shines through, his busines savvy too, primarily an accountant he is constantly on the lookout for new ideas and ways to exploit the weakness in his arch nemesis (GOOGLE)  He travels a lot and is a self professed GOOGLE whore but underneath he is a kind and caring Dad who happens to get astounding results from his chosen profession. The real John Chow does exist and  he is someone I am happy to call a friend.

The double edged sword

Filed under: media — Tags: , , — bernie @ 8:14 pm

Face book is great as social media goes but the downside is all of the fluff that people send you,

you know all the little apps, great for some but a pain for others, many I know now shun it because of the intrusive nature of some of the apps , a useful tool in moderation!!
