Wimax

先月から通信環境をauの回線だけにしたトミト。固定回線もWiMAXもなしで、1ヶ月使ってみてどうだったのか。1ヶ月レポートです。

The ghosts, geeks and goblins of telecom tech come out to play in this very foolish and ghoulish episode of the Light Reading Podcast. Light Reading's Kelsey Ziser and her spooky pals -- Light Reading behead-itor Phil Harvey and US Ignite firestarter Mari Silbey -- discuss some of the technologies that still haunt them to this day. Phil opines on why consumers were so scared of the Facebook phone. Kelsey is creeped out all over again by Google Glass. Mari throws her hands up to the heavens and asks, "Why, WiMax, Why?!!" We dance all over the graves of a few other tech ideas and products, too. (R.I.P. home networking before the cloud.) And Mari shares a surprising bit of news about a videophone network that may actually be back from the dead. Happy Halloween, you silly souls.

トミトが解約したばかりのWiMAXに、新しいプランが登場したようです。ネット環境を変えたばかりですが、どうするのでしょうか。

WiMAXを解約して、ネット環境がケータイだけにしたトミト。色々と使い方を変えるべく、試したものに意外な当たりがあったようです。

2年間使ってきたWiMAXの契約が切れる日を迎えたトミト。ある理由から固定回線も引いていないそうですが、これから通信環境をどうするのでしょうか。

A Stable internet connection is one of the most important parts of modern life. For most people, if they're at home and the internet connection goes down, they don't know what to do with themselves. We rely on it for work, entertainment and, for some of us, even for food. Somehow, despite our reliance on the technology, it has not improved in any meaningful way in years. Most of us still rely on copper wires that were placed in the ground decades ago to provide our connection to the outside world. Common Networks has a new idea, using a decentralized wireless network structure to make installation easy and connectivity nearly unbreakable.Using a combination of wireless technologies, the company is producing a wide-area mesh network. This means that if one node is damaged, the network traffic can route around the bad node and keep your internet connection alive. It also means that the network setup is less expensive to maintain because there will be no emergency late-night service tech calls, which can be a huge cost for a network operator. This cost-saving is passed on to the users, with 300 Mbps running only $49 per month with no installation fee, additional taxes, or equipment rentals.Impressively, this is accomplished without the speed degradation we have seen with previous wireless networks. When 4G, both LTE and WiMax, came about, companies tried to build home systems on top of that technology. Unfortunately, the strength of the signal and the design of the networks made it impossible. That is no longer the case, as Common Networks has worked through those issues, designing a custom network infrastructure that is cloud-controlled and self-healing.The company is in active development of its network in a handful of cities in California, with hopes to expand beyond the state.

固定回線を持たず、WiMAXとケータイ回線だけで生きている、ジプシーのようなトミト。9月にWiMAXの2年契約が終了することで、更新せずにケータイ回線だけにするようです。そうすると一体どうなるのか。

固定回線を持たず、WiMAXがメインのトミト。更新のタイミングが迫っていて、ネット環境をどうするか悩んでいるようです。

Braze founders, Bill Magnuson and Jon Hyman, recount the beginnings of Braze. From fast times at Bridgewater to top honors at TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon, hear about the humble beginnings that soon evolved into best-in-class customer engagement platform.       TRANSCRIPT: [0:00:17] PJ: Hello again. Welcome back to Braze for Impact your martech industry discuss digest. So thrilled today to have two esteemed guests with me. You know them as the founders of Braze, CEO, Bill Magnuson and CTO-   [0:00:32] Jon Hyman: Jon Hyman.   [0:00:32] PJ: There he is to my right. Jon, Bill, welcome.   [0:00:36] Bill Magnuson: Thanks for having us.   [0:00:36] Jon Hyman: Thank you PJ.   [0:00:38] PJ: And so you know why we're here, right? We want to hear the story. We want the uncut, behind the music for Braze, formerly Appboy.   [0:00:48] Bill Magnuson: We first met in Westport, Connecticut working for a company called Bridgewater Associates. They have been notorious more recently for a lot of things about their culture. You know that I would encourage our listeners to go and read about either in Dealbreaker if you like a good story or in the New York Times, if you want a slightly more journalistic integrity, if you will. But, when I joined Bridgewater after finishing up my master's degree, I joined up and I was actually on Jon's team, he was my team lead when we got started.   [0:01:19] Jon Hyman: Yeah, actually had to give Bill a great project of going through all of the services that we owned on Internet Explorer 6 and seeing if they could work under Internet Explorer 8.   [0:01:30] Bill Magnuson: Yeah, I think it was about 235 different projects and I didn't know how any of them were supposed to work. My directions were just try and figure out how each one of them works and see if any of them don't work when you go into a more modern browser. And this was, I think, still years behind cutting edge.   [0:01:47] PJ: Gotcha. Jon, was Bill hard to manage?   [0:01:51] Jon Hyman: No, he actually was really good. I did try to save him from the despair of a couple of those different projects, but Bill was like, "I can do it, just give it to me," and he then quickly outgrew my team onto his own team and started running product for Greenfield Development that we had at Bridgewater, while I stuck with what we called at the time sustained engineering, which was just managing the 80 plus technology assets that our department had managed.   [0:02:19] Bill Magnuson: Yeah. So fast forward about a year and a half and Jon starts to get a wandering eye a little bit and decides early on in 2011 that he's going to leave and strike out.   [0:02:32] Jon Hyman: Yeah. Basically at the point for me, I had been programming since I was young, programmed all through high school and college. That was how I paid for my tuition and beer and pizza money and there was a lot of good creativity in that. And at Bridgewater I essentially felt that I was both far away from what I'll call is, like a win, I wanted to just kind of celebrate the success of something. There was a huge financial institution, I didn't have any delusions of grandeur that as a 25-year old kid I would impact their bottom line, but I wanted to be able to just celebrate a win with the team. Didn't think I was getting that. And at the same time, I felt that the new tech world was evolving. We had the cloud starting to come out mobile and was explosive. I actually was one of those people who left work in the middle of the day to go stand in line to get the first Android phone that Sprint ever carried, which was really fun. So, I was really excited about it and I thought that I was not going to learn those technologies at Bridgewater. I wasn't doing something that was creative. And so, at that point I just decided that I wanted to either start some kind of tech company or join a small tech company and just be a little bit closer to the product itself.   [0:03:45] Bill Magnuson: At that point I had been at Bridgewater for less than a year. And prior to Bridgewater I was actually at Google and I was a fortunate enough to be able to do this hybrid thing where I got my master's degree and continued working on working for Google at the same time. And the work that I was doing at Google was with the Android team and it was right as Android was launching. And so I had been exposed to mobile in its earliest innings and just had enormous conviction that it was going to fundamentally change the world. And so, Jon left and I had only been there for 10 or 11 months at the time, which was a little bit early to be making a jump, especially on my first real job after getting fully out of school and leaving grad school. But we kept in touch and Jon started working on some really cool stuff working with cool teams, just kind of exploring out in the New York City tech area. And fast forward a couple months later and Jon gives me a call and, I think Wednesday before the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon, he had had a partner that he was supposed to be doing the programming competition with that had to cancel at the last minute. And he was like, "Hey, what are you doing this weekend?" I was like, "I'm going up to Vermont with my girlfriend. We've got this really romantic weekend planned." And he was like, "You want to cancel all those plans and do a programming competition with me in the city?" And I was like, "Of course." And so-   [0:05:06] Jon Hyman: I still have that draw.   [0:05:07] PJ: Really?   [0:05:08] Jon Hyman: I can still cause people to quit, cancel their plans.   [0:05:10] PJ: Bag that. What did you say? What did you get? What were your words to convince him to bag it?   [0:05:15] Jon Hyman: "Bill, we're going to be working on this together." Glory.   [0:05:18] Bill Magnuson: ... Yeah. And so the program that we built was called [Gilty] . I think it was perfect for the TechCrunch Disrupt audience, because it was a little bit subversive. It was a little bit mischievous. Gilt was very much an ascendant brand at the time. These flash sales were really exciting. And what it did was it took advantage of the fact that when a flash sale sold out on Gilt, it would not be sold out for everyone who would actually stay in members' carts. Because when you purchase something you had 10 minutes while it sat in the cart, to decide whether or not you were going to complete the transaction or not. So we built an ability for items that were placed in your car to get registered as auctions. And then if you came to the site and it was already in members' carts so you could actually bid on the items that were in people's carts. So there's a lot of consumer surplus there and you know, to be able to arbitrage that risk-free was pretty cool. And so we built this browser plugin that built an auction system on top of it. You could also imagine this had something like OpenTable. You go and there's no restaurant reservations left tonight but you've got a couple of them are up for bid and you'd be like, "Ah, I'd pay 15 bucks for that eight o'clock table time." And you can do that out of band. OpenTable would, of course, never sell you that. But imagine a third party plugin that could.   [0:06:27] PJ: Wow.   [0:06:28] Bill Magnuson: And so that was the project that we did and we ended up winning top honors for that at the Disrupt Hackathon. We actually ended up meeting an investor in a crosswalk as we were walking to the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon to present, a couple of days later. And so we're walking to the conference and Jon was on the phone and I just started talking to the guy next to us in the crosswalk. He was an investor and he's actually the CEO of a company called Rubrik now, a guy named Bipul Sinha, and he spotted me on stage when we presented later that day and sent us an email that was like, "Hey, I don't know if you remember, I met you in a crosswalk. I know this guy living down in Texas who's thinking about starting something in the mobile space. I think you guys should connect and talk." And I got a hundred emails that looked exactly like that over the course of that week because Jon and I had had a video interview on TechCrunch and it was a hot tech blog at the time. And I just filed it away and went back to my job.   [0:07:24] Jon Hyman: I didn't even know this whole ordeal had happened. I was actually on the phone, didn't even know Bill had a conversation and wasn't on that email that Bill later got. But, Bill came over for dinner and, then we were just talking about what had been going on in the last couple of weeks. And I was sharing the exciting things I was talking to people about in New York. And I asked him if he had seen any interesting opportunities and he was like, "No, not really." And I was like, well you should go through your inbox and see if there's anything that looks really good. And, what about the crosswalk investor in Texas? Was that just the first of many and that was it?   [0:07:58] Bill Magnuson: I didn't have great work-life balance at the time, and I would include in the life part of life-balance, checking my personal email. And so it just kind of went into a big pile of a lot of outreach that we got after, the notoriety that we received from getting written up in tech crunch and such. And I just hadn't transacted on any of them. I just went right back to my day job the next day.   [0:08:20] Jon Hyman: Bill then ends up just shooting me a text or talking to me a few days later, just being like, "Hey, come in to New York City, we're here, we'll get drinks with this guy." And I'm like, "What? What are we doing?" And he's like, "Yeah, I'm going to talk to some guy who wanted to start a company called Appboy. And he was gonna meet us for drinks and just come on." And I didn't really know anything about this. It turned out that Bipul Sinha was, as Bill mentioned, advisor to this guy, Mark [Ramazian 00:08:44], who lived in Houston, Texas. He's a CEO of an oil and gas company and he had created, actually a product called Appboy, which was a live website. And it was mobile app-related, but he wanted to kind of pivot into building an SDK that would help connect mobile app publishers, developers with their consumers and increase engagement, increase discovery and be a little more social with your mobile application.   [0:09:12] PJ: So, what was it doing without that? What was Appboy ...   [0:09:15] Bill Magnuson: There's a funny, unofficial history of Appboy that goes back years before this. There was a social network that he had built for mobile app developers. So every mobile app would have its own landing page and you could have a community of fans around it and the developer would be able to communicate with them. And, funny thing about it is in hindsight it seems a little ridiculous, right, to have a website to be an index for mobile apps and have that be a social network. But that's what appboy.com was. And you can actually go find, the BBC named one of the best sites on the internet. Or, one of the best sites, excuse me, on the worldwide web back in 2010 or something. Which doesn't ... It's an interesting choice by the BBC, but we always hawk that as our own press in the early days.   [0:09:56] PJ: Oh yeah.   [0:09:56] Bill Magnuson: But, he had shut that down, because it was a side project that he had been working on while running the oil and natural gas company, and was ready to take another look at it. And, I had all this excitement about mobile from my time at Google and my time being a part of it. We all were at this stage in our life where we wanted to go and strike out and do something. And so, I remember reading a lot of things afterward that were, when you find your co-founder, when you decide that you're going to start a company together, it's a lot like a marriage. You got to make sure that you vet people heavily and you need to date beforehand and you everything else. And, I had a phone call, actually the first phone call I had with Mark, I forgot about it. It was hard to access your personal calendar, your personal email while at Bridgewater. So I just got a phone call from him and while I was driving home from work and I literally turned it on speaker phone and was holding my phone against the steering wheel while I was driving home because I didn't have a headset with me in the car or what have you. And that was the first call. And then we exchanged a few emails and we had dinner in New York one night, dinner and drinks. And we all just decided to quit our jobs and move to New York and start up Appboy.   [0:11:02] PJ: How old were you guys at this point when you have that dinner?   [0:11:05] Bill Magnuson: I was 23.   [0:11:07] Jon Hyman: I was 25.   [0:11:09] PJ: Wow.   [0:11:09] Bill Magnuson: I think Mark was 28-ish. So yeah, we definitely didn't follow that advice of heavily vetting each other. But, we connected really well. We were all excited about working in the same space. We all saw, I think the massive potential in the mobile ecosystem that wasn't really being realized. There were a lot of apps, there was a lot of money going into mobile apps. There was a lot of excitement around it, but no one was really building sustainable businesses in mobile. And similarly, the existing sustainable businesses, the enterprise, had not really figured it out yet. They hadn't figured out how their products and services would evolve and change in response to this new mobile technology coming to the world. But we had strong conviction that massive businesses would be built, that traditional businesses would be disrupted. And so what we wanted to was really take advantage of, what was unique about the capabilities of mobile that's going to change the way that people do business. And so when you really look at that common thread all the way through our product from the very beginning it was, we're in a new world where technology has changed the rules of how humans interact with each other, how they interact with brands, their relationship with technology. It's also given us, as people on the controls, a capability that we didn't have before because we can communicate directly to people. We can do it with massive server infrastructure. We can deliver messages across a lot of different contexts and places that we can really understand people better and then we can communicate with them. And so we just kind of started from there. It was like, all right, if we want to really turn a mobile app into a business and we want to do that by building great customer relationships and a great way to build relationships is to talk to people. Right? And that's the starting point. And I think that we really benefited actually from a kind of ignorance of the broader marketing technology space at the time. Because, mobile apps also didn't have marketing teams in 2011. They were typically just product teams. They were launching into the app stores and the magic of the distribution mechanisms to the app stores allowed them to be successful without real marketing or customer engagement strategies. And so, we built just for that business purpose without a specific set of competitors in mind or without some sort of preexisting capabilities that we benchmarked ourselves against. We really just wanted to generically solve that problem of understanding people as they're interacting with a primarily mobile app experience at the time. But just understanding how they're trying to interact with a product or a service and then communicate with them along the way.   [0:13:31] PJ: So that philosophy, that's been intact pretty much since the beginning. That hasn't shifted much. But what is the first version look like practically when you guys started spinning it up?   [0:13:41] Bill Magnuson: Yeah, so the first version, it had a lot of the messaging types that we have today. So we had a slide-up message, which we would call an in-app message slider today that only came up from the bottom. But that was an ephemeral in-product experience. I call this the Appboy as a proper noun phase of the company, because we had this idea that people would click on something called Appboy, and then it would, within an app, and it would bring up a interface that would be familiar to you in multiple apps that you were using. And that interface would include your user profile. It would include a news feed which was a card stream, we called it a mini blog inside your app. Although nowadays we can just call it a news feed and people know what that means. It had customer support in it and it had app recommendations. And so that was what we today have as the Content Cards feature, which is this kind of persistent card-based messaging that's personalized and delivered to you inside the application. And then we also had email and push that we would deliver. But the email and push was hard-coded at the time to go with you through your journey of using an application. So you would use it the first time and it would be like, "Hey, congrats for using this app for the first time, here's a badge, you're an App Newbie." And then as you would use other sorts of features, we would tell you about things inside the app that could be programmed or we would give you badges for using it. You could recommend it to your friends. I would call it hard-coded as an engineer. It was like a more hard-coded experience, but it was really communicating across all those different channels. It was building up a user profile over time based on the things that the user is doing, and also things that they would tell us in their own user profile. And then utilizing that to personalize the whole experience. So, all those foundational building blocks were there.   [0:15:19] Jon Hyman: Well the user profile actually I think is a fairly novel idea at the time for mobile. Because when we look at app analytics providers back when we were in 2011, it's extremely device-centric. And the fact that we were thinking about user profiles, it was social. You even had friends, you could connect Facebook to it. That was a new idea and that actually really then led up to our benefit of us being able to now have that 360-degree user profile across devices, platforms and channels and online and offline. Because we started with it literally from day one that we were viewing the people who use your product, not the devices that use your product. In fact, the first version of the user segmentation engine was just the user directory. We wanted to show publishers here are the people who downloaded your app this week. Here's everyone who's made a purchase, and actually show the people, not just the device statistics there. And so I think that was a different light and different way of looking at the data then that now you just see, not only is just being so obvious, but that everyone's just driving towards because we're trying to engage people for who they are and have good brand [inaudible] and you can't do that when you just look at device to device.   [0:16:31] PJ: And so as you guys were building this team, what was the first crew?   [0:16:37] Bill Magnuson: So the early crew was primarily engineering, we had to get the product built and out the door. We originally built for IOS only, so the vision was obviously to eventually be across all different platforms, but IOS was kind of the dominant place that brands were starting to make money at the time. Because if you go all the way back to 2011 you also have to remember that things like in-app purchases and digital goods were these scary, crazy things. And people were like, "Why would I ever spend $2 on something that's not real?" And, we kind of evolved with all of those cultural changes over time because it really took apps to coming businesses. But yeah, the early team was primarily engineering. I was actually the CTO when we started and Jon was CIO and it was such a luxury to have two technical co-founders to really get that early product built and get things out the door. And so I, you know, worked on the dashboard and the SDKs and Jon worked on the API's and the back end and the infrastructure and you know, together we, we built out teams to, you know, help increase velocity. And we got that first product out the door as an SDK that would integrate in your app and there'd be a button that you would press either the app boy logo or the lightning bolt logo and it would kind of pull up the user profile at the newsfeed and everything. And, and you know, we didn't do a very good job of building the, the MVP, you know, and kind of being lean about it. We really had a fully featured system when we did that first launch. But I think that that has really benefited us over time because we, we've seen a lot of the architectural, I think mistakes or limitations that exist in a lot of the other people that operate in the space. And I think the fact that we forced ourselves to figure out how to communicate with people in a lot of different ways and we figured out how to understand people as Jon Mentions as humans, not just as devices made that initial version of the product a lot harder, but it meant that our foundation was more flexible and stronger.   [0:18:31] PJ: Did you guys have trouble getting companies to integrate that native SDK early on because maybe it might not have been, you're in their code that probably wasn't very, normal.   [0:18:43] Bill Magnuson: Well actually at the time it was actually pretty common for apps to just have an outrageous number of SDKs, like a dozen or 15 or something, and just kind of smash them all in. And it was definitely the wild west. We now deal with that legacy a little bit in that a lot of the smaller companies at the time, we started to run into this pretty quickly, is that one of those 15 SDKs was not a good citizen in your application. And so then people started to get a little bit nervous about it. But, in the early days it was just, you built apps, and you tossed a whole bunch in and people were willing to really experiment and try things out quite a bit. I think that trying to build any business though, it was easy to get people to sign up and be interested. It was harder to get them to integrate. It was even harder to get them to pay. And so that was a progression that we certainly had to go through. And it took a couple of years, I think, before we had our first real annual enterprise customer.   [0:19:37] Jon Hyman: I think that some of the challenges we also had was just the initial product of being an app inside an app or a social network, was fairly hard to explain and hard for people to understand. Like Bill was just saying that you would tap the Appboy icon or lightning bolt icon and you'd go into Appboy, and I remember we used to demo the application and we'd be like, "So, you're in your app and then you click this button and now you're in Appboy." And people would be like, "What? Now I'm in an app inside an app but, can I white-label this so it's not Appboy and it's just my app?" And I think that was really a hard sell for some companies, but also at the time a lot of the apps that we were talking to, or possible customers, weren't real businesses. They were just people who had a huge number of downloads in the app store. This in 2011, you'd have someone who built a flashlight app and it was one person and they had a tremendous number of downloads. We had a very big early customer, this was probably around 2012 or 2013, that had 40 to 50 million monthly active users. It was one developer who built a photo collage app when you used to be able to stitch together different photos into a collage and put it on Facebook, and he just wouldn't pay for anything because he was like, "I'm just one guy. I'm not running a business. I'm just, I sell these digital frames." And he'd make some money but isn't a brand. And I think that was one of the challenges we were up against was the app store was just so immature that you weren't having people think about the only businesses. Brands were just having something as an app available for people in the download. It wasn't the way they really thought to run their strategy.   [0:21:18] Bill Magnuson: And, we really realized that, I referred to it earlier as the Appboy is a proper noun phase, what we needed to do eventually was, we started to unbundle that feature set so that it could really get integrated into the first-party experience. So, the user profile went into the background and the news feed got integrated into an activity feed or some sort of other updates or what have you into the native experience. Seeing that message was always over the top and it wasn't really problematic from that perspective. And we actually ended up cutting a number of features over time. And one of the things that was a really, I think critical signal on that as Jon mentioned, is we would demo it and people would say, "Oh, can I replace that Appboy logo or that lightning bolt logo with my own?" And it seems like a natural white-labeling request, but if you actually think about the customer experience, you go into the Yelp app as an example, and then there's a Yelp logo in the Yelp app that you're supposed to click on, right? Like that feature request didn't make any sense. And so if you take a step back from that, it's like, "Oh, this person's not asking for something dumb. This is just evidence that what we're trying to offer and the way that they're conceptualizing it doesn't make any sense, writ large. And so, we had to really go back and rethink about how do we integrate into the product experience and how do we take this feature set where the feature set makes sense, but it's just not integrating and in the right way.   [0:22:37] PJ: So people were using Appboy on smartphones. Is that what you're saying?   [0:22:42] Bill Magnuson: Well so, Appboy was like ... So did you ever use OpenFeint back in the day?   [0:22:47] PJ: No.   [0:22:47] Bill Magnuson: Or imagine going into a game and having a gamer profile, right? Where you go into the gamer or profile and then there's, "Here's some news for you and here's some stuff you can edit about your profile."   [0:22:56] PJ: That I understand.   [0:22:57] Bill Magnuson: It was like that. Right? But we wanted to make it generalizable across all different applications. And so that was just something that, at the time, a lot of the way that the app store was developing and the way that a lot of apps we're developing, something like that made sense in 2011 for a lot of those apps and the feature set made sense for businesses. But as apps actually started to develop into businesses, we had to modify that.   [0:23:21] PJ: Mm-hmm. That makes sense. Any early days debacles that you guys had to deal with in the first few years? Like big, big, fire drills that you guys had to run in terms of technical?   [0:23:33] Bill Magnuson: Yeah, there were, we could go through a couple of those. I think one of the things I laugh at the most from our earliest office was that we actually were in office space, that we were squatting in, long story. But we were in the offices of a now bankrupt real estate company. And it was in the Starrett-Lehigh building, which is a big building with a lot of fashion companies in it over in 2011, and there was no reasonable internet into the building. But, this was the early days of WiMAX and we had line of sight to some WiMAX towers. We were like, alright, let's try out WiMAX. And so we got these WiMAX modems. And the modems for early WiMAX, we obviously didn't realize this but, they didn't support both charging them and running them for long periods of time, at the same time. They were built to be high bandwidth, but not to actually be used for the use case we were using it for. So we had it up on a ladder, hanging off of this rope from the top of a ladder-   [0:24:30] PJ: That is not safe.   [0:24:30] Bill Magnuson: ... So that it was pointed directly at the antenna on top of a building somewhere else in Manhattan. And then had a fan running on it with the battery cover off the back because the battery would overheat if you had it running with the charger and running all day. And that was our Internet connection for the office.   [0:24:45] PJ: What a rig.   [0:24:46] Bill Magnuson: Yeah.   [0:24:47] PJ: Holy cow.   [0:24:48] Bill Magnuson: When we moved out of that office, we actually-   [0:24:53] PJ: But you were squatting?   [0:24:54] Bill Magnuson: ... We were squatting. So we were there for five or six months rent-free, beautiful office.   [0:24:59] PJ: But, they knew you were there or somebody knew you were there?   [0:25:01] Jon Hyman: Yes, essentially it was Mark-   [0:25:02] Bill Magnuson: They knew we were there. [crosstalk 00:25:03].   [0:25:03] Jon Hyman: ... Mark's family had essentially acquired this property that they didn't need and the lease was running up in a couple of months and they said that they could give it to us. It was actually this huge 3,500 square foot office that had literal offices, Bill and I each had a 15 by 15-foot office. You could close the door and-   [0:25:23] Bill Magnuson: Two of them had windows and so that was where we set everyone up to work. And then the other two didn't. And those were actually where we set up the air mattresses because Jon and I were living in Connecticut at the time, and it was a lot easier to just sleep at the office. We had extra offices.   [0:25:36] PJ: Oh, been there.   [0:25:37] Bill Magnuson: There was actually one morning where I woke up, one of our employees had gotten there early. It was just the two of us in the office, but I had still been sleeping in the office and he came over and he knocked on the door and he was like, "Hey, they're evacuating the building right now because there's a gas leak." And I was like, "Oh, man." And he's like, "I don't know what the deal is but the alarm's not going off in our space. But I saw the blinking lights out in the hallway and I went out and I found out what was going on." And, I've gone over that in my head before where if he had not been there, I would've just kept sleeping and I would have woke up in this building that had been completely evacuated due to a gas leak and I probably would have just opened my laptop and gone to work without even realizing that anything was amiss.   [0:26:21] Jon Hyman: Yeah, I remember that we got out of there and, Mark, I don't think was in town then.   [0:26:26] Bill Magnuson: Yeah. He hadn't moved up to New York yet. It was the first few weeks.   [0:26:29] Jon Hyman: We had told him what happened and it was just a shock. We also were in that building when an earthquake struck.   [0:26:35] Bill Magnuson: Yeah. Which was the next week. And I remember the whole building evacuated again and everyone was really worried that there had been a gas explosion because it was only one week after the gas leak, and the earthquake evacuated this whole building. And the Starrett-Lehigh building, I think it's the second or third most square footage of any office building in the city because it's an entire massive block on the West Side. And so the whole building evacuated and there were just 10,000 people wandering around on the sidewalks outside the building.   [0:27:02] PJ: Well I'm glad you guys survived that.   [0:27:04] Bill Magnuson: Yeah.   [0:27:04] PJ: That sounded like the biggest debacle to-date.   [0:27:07] Bill Magnuson: I guess. Yeah. We didn't have the product launched at that point yet so that we didn't really have the opportunity for technology debacles. It was really more of a facilities. [crosstalk 00:27:12].   [0:27:15] Jon Hyman: Yeah it was like six weeks in, basically.   [0:27:18] PJ: So what about channel agnosticism? Was that something that was even a thing or a thought back then? Because from what I've heard is, the way that we are built, we're future proofing for multiple channels and things that maybe we can't even conceptualize yet.   [0:27:34] Bill Magnuson: Yeah, well I alluded to this earlier, but this idea that our initial product launch had messaging which was push by its nature. So we had push notifications in email. One of those two is in the context of the product, which is push notifications. The other one is outside and is addressed in a different way. And then we also had messaging which was completely inside the product experience, both ephemeral, which was the slide-up and then persistent, which was the card stream. And so when you look at that, push by it's nature, pull by its nature, ephemeral, persistent in the product experience and out of the product experience, you've basically covered all the dimensions of messaging. And so when we look at new ways of communicating with people across new message channels, either as we develop support for existing ones or as new ones come into play, we've already got an archetype of messaging in the system which looks like that. And that's really important because it means that all of the other features that we've built further up the stack, things around user targeting or content personalization or orchestration across channels, they all were built from the very beginning, taking into account that the way that you communicate with someone could go across any one of these dimensions. And I think that one of the things that you see in a lot of platforms that start out as a single channel or as a single set of channels, is that when they tried to expand into other places, they'll find parts of their feature set that aren't compatible with, for instance, pulling down a personalized stream of messages when it was architected to just send a campaign out to someone. And as a result, when we look at message expansion, we end up with this consistent and predictable experience for customers who are used to all the sophistication further up in the product where you're doing your user targeting or your classification, you're personalizing things, you're orchestrating across channels. Those are all going to work in intuitive ways as we add new channels. And we're going to get the advantage of all of that sophistication that we've built even as we add things that are completely new. And so that I think has both, it's future-proofed us and it's also really helped our customers push their own boundaries. Because I think that a really big part of what caused a lot of messaging to end up siloed inside of companies, a big part of that is a learning curve and a skillset. And, the technology being siloed certainly matters. But when you can use a platform like Braze and you can come on board to it and you can learn how to send push notifications with it and, 90% of that knowledge is transferable to sending email. And then of that you can then transfer that into sending SMS or into delivering messages inside the app. That ends up becoming a really good mechanism for teams rapidly build ROI and spread it across all these different ways of communicating.   [0:30:08] PJ: Well guys, we're almost at time here, but I got to say, and I should've opened with it, happy eighth anniversary of Braze. It's been about eight years. Congratulations to you both.   [0:30:17] Bill Magnuson: Thanks.   [0:30:18] Jon Hyman: Thank you.   [0:30:18] PJ: Huge deal. I just want to know before we close out, what are you most excited about in your ninth year of this company?   [0:30:26] Jon Hyman: For me, I'm really excited about just continued growth in our company, both with our people and the types of businesses that we work with. I'm really excited that Braze is just so plugged into the fabric of the digital world. We engage more than 1.7 billion monthly active users now and we do that for financial apps or lifestyle apps, retail and eCommerce, huge consumer brands. And I'm really excited as we continue to go up that brand chain and work with the best companies in the world. What that's going to mean for our business, but also we have such a tremendous amount of talent here supporting those. The people that work on different teams here, whether you're on the sales side, the engineering side, success, support, marketing, there's so much great dedication and real passion. People who are very sharp, smart, and I'm just excited to continue to grow the company with that kind of caliber of talent.   [0:31:21] Bill Magnuson: The thing that I really like about being a technologist and being at a technology company is being able to solve new problems with new capabilities. And so when I look into our next year, we've got new teams that we've been building out. We've got existing teams that have gotten much larger. We've put a huge amount of investment into new capabilities, whether that's new tools, technology, skills, acumen, partners, whatever it is. Those things all multiply and compound together. And I feel even here in our ninth year, we're still vastly accelerating our capabilities, our execution velocity, the way that we reach out in the market, the impact that we've had. And so when I look forward, it's rapid growth as usual. I think, as we look at the last couple of years, we really hit this inflection point as the problem that we had been really soldiering on, working on for six years really started to become a massive priority for businesses of all kinds. And we've really enjoyed, I think a acceleration and inflection point in our growth, and we're still in the early innings of that. And when we look into the next year, I'm just really excited about what the team's going to accomplish.   [0:32:27] PJ: Guys, this just hasn't been enough time for me. So I'm thinking I got to get you guys back on the podcast in a few months time, and we can maybe tell more of the story. All right?   [0:32:35] Jon Hyman: Sounds good.   [0:32:35] PJ: Jon Hyman, Bill Magnuson, thank you guys so much for coming on, making the time for us. And thank you guys for listening. Take care.

After a very big week of broadband announcements in Ireland, Adrian sits down with the person promising the most radical plan. Imagine boss Sean Bolger says that his wireless broadband company will build a new national network to connect over 1m homes, including 400,000 of the 540,000 rural homes currently earmarked under the National Broadband Plan. This, he says, will be done by building hundreds of sites (such as masts) around the country, which will deliver the service to antennae on rural homes. But is this just another promise from a telecoms company? When will the rural homes he's planning on connecting see the service? And does this mean he intends to scupper or challenge the state-subsidised scheme, which would use taxpayers' money to do an enhanced fibre-based version of the same thing? Bolger has decades of experience in the Irish telecoms market. His was the company behind the WiMax wireless service that rose and fell some years ago. But rural Ireland may be his biggest challenge yet.

Zach Supalla, founder and CEO of Particle (particle.io), provides a detailed overview of how technology is improving the ways we can interact with and control our devices and products. Supalla's company, Particle, is the dominant IoT platform on the market that simplifies building, connecting and managing internet-connected hardware products rolled out on a large scale. IoT, as it is typically referred to stands for ‘the Internet of things' and is the comprehensive network of devices such as home appliances, vehicles, etc. that contain electronics, software, actuators, and of course connectivity which allows them to connect, interact directly, and exchange their data. Particle's innovation has truly taken business by the hand and is leading the industry toward a more connected world. And their numbers are astounding as Particle is used by more than 150,000 developers in over 100 countries and, impressively, by 50% of Fortune 500 companies.  Suppalla discusses the way his company works. Particle is the technology partner that provides the software and hardware to connect products to the internet, which allows for collection of data from the physical device and thus control it remotely. As mentioned, building an IoT product begins with getting a device online, Particle has simplified the process because all their hardware is specifically designed to get devices connected in minutes via Wi-Fi, cellular (2G/3G/LTE), or even mesh (MCL), a technology that allows a computer's user to easily connect to an advanced wireless mesh network that utilizes Wi-Fi or WiMax.  Suppalla talks about some of the companies that they have worked with that bring real world problems to the table, problems that Particle can help to manage. He discusses one particularly interesting company called Opti that provides a truly effective and incredibly efficient solution to address stormwater runoff and protect valuable water resources. Opti's stormwater management system is in place all over the world. Opti, as Suppalla explains, has a system that can ‘connect' to a city's pumps and valves to dynamically move water, so as a storm is approaching the system can move water around as needed. Opti allows for reservoirs to be controlled, to prevent flooding.  Suppalla talks about some of the industrial uses of the technology such as controlling fans for crop protection during a frost. While these niche industries may seem like they are too small to be concerned with in terms of the technology, they are actually very big, and technology can provide many solutions to these niche industry real world problems.  Further, Suppalla talks about the importance of reliable connectivity. He gives examples of how important and critical messages can be missed when connectivity is lost, even if only for a few minutes, or even seconds. Discussing the IoT world, he states that there are many and various different problems that exist and Particle seeks to intercept problems, find solutions, and improve our lives through the use of technology.  Suppalla is a recognized authority on the Internet of Things and is a sought-after speaker for many technology events such as Web Summit, OSCON, Solid, GMIC, and Launch. Suppalla holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a master's in engineering management from the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern.

Arogyaswami J. Paulraj AVSM, VSM (born 14 April 1944) is a distinguished Indian-American electrical engineer. A former Commodore in the Indian Navy, he is currently a Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Elect. Engineering at Stanford University.   Paulraj was born in Pollachi near Coimbatore, India, one of six children of Sinappan Arogyaswami and his wife Rose. He joined the Indian Navy at age 15 through the National Defence Academy, Khadakvasla and served the Navy for 30 years. Paulraj received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Naval College of Engineering, Lonavala, India, and his doctorate in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi.   Paulraj is the pioneer of a breakthrough wireless technology known as MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) that dramatically increases performance of wireless systems. MIMO is now core technology in latest WiFi and LTE systems. Paulraj served in India till 1991 where he is known for pioneering the development of military sonars (APSOH family). Paulraj also served as the founding director for three major labs in India - Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), CDAC (Center for Development of Advanced Computing) and CRL (Central Research Labs of Bharat Electronics).   Paulraj's MIMO technology is now crucial to local area and mobile wireless communications. MIMO allows both higher data rates and wider coverage areas. MIMO technology involves using multiple antennas at both the transmit station and the receive station. Efficiency is increased because parallel streams of data can be multiplexed within the same channel.   Paulraj first developed the idea of MIMO in 1992 while at Stanford University. Using the spatial multiplexing concept that exploits MIMO antennas, he demonstrated that spectral efficiency could be improved by transmitting independent data streams from each antenna and then exploiting the distinct spatial signatures of each stream at the receive antennas to separate them. Paulraj was issued a patent for the MIMO concept in 1994. He faced skepticism from industry and funding sources and practical application of the technology was not seen until the early 2000s. Among the obstacles, digital transmission was needed to fully exploit the potential of MIMO, but the U.S. wireless industry was still predominantly analog at the time. However, Paulraj persisted and held annual workshops at Stanford on the technology that eventually helped interest in MIMO and spatial multiplexing take hold.   Paulraj founded Iospan Wireless Inc. in 1998 to form the first company to incorporate MIMO technology in a commercial system. The system developed by Paulraj at Iospan helped erase lingering skepticism about the practicality of MIMO. The lessons learned at Iospan gave the wireless industry the confidence to incorporate MIMO into emerging wireless standards, and the technology developed at Iospan such as spatial multiplexing, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access and opportunistic scheduling, can be seen in today's 4G systems. Intel Corp. acquired part of Iospan in 2003 to help launch its own push into WiMAX, further establishing the importance of Paulraj's MIMO concept. Paulraj co-founded Beceem Communications in 2003 and the company became a leader in WiMAX chipsets. Beceem was acquired by Broadcom Corp. in 2010.   An IEEE Fellow, Paulraj is also a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and several other scientific / engineering academies. His awards include the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Achievement Award and Padma Bhushan from the president of India, one of the country's highest civilian awards. Paulraj is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, Calif., and is also a Senior Advisor to Broadcom Corp., Irvine, Calif.   During his 30 years in the Indian (Navy) (1961-1991), he founded three national level laboratories in India and headed one of India's most successful military R&D projects – APSOH sonar. He received over a dozen awards (many at the national level) in India including the Padma Bhushan, Ati Vishist Seva Medal and the VASVIK Medal.   Paulraj has set examples of bridging Academia & Tech Industry by bringing Academic Innovations to the center-stage of the Industry. After having designed and developed one of the most advanced Sonar APSOH for the Indian Navy, while he proposed the idea of MIMO from Stanford, it naturally faced skepticism and was rejected by the Industry. His relentless persistence for over two decades during which he created working models of his MIMO ideas and proved them by creating two high technology companies in the Silicon Valley. The first - Iospan Wireless Inc. developed the core 4G wireless technology and was acquired by Intel Corp. In 2003, his second company - Beceem Communications Inc. became the market leader in 4G chip sets and was acquired by Broadcom Corp. in 2010.   Through productization of his ideas into viable products, he proved his innovative ideas about MIMO & WIMAX, which got overwhelming adoption from the industry world over and became the foundation of the next generation Mobile Communication, popularly known as 4G. Not surprisingly, Paulraj is known as the Father of MIMO and WIMAX, the 4G Cellular Technologies.   Paulraj has been honoured with the most coveted global technology awards, the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal in 2011 and the Marconi Prize in 2014, for his pioneering contributions to the telecommunications industry.

The Cell Phone Junkie Show #238 55:12Show NotesLTE and WiMax are 4G, Tab pricing starts to fall, and software updates galore.

Clearwire WiMax  broadband service is currently available in 62 U.S. markets and reaches over 41 million people. By the end of 2010, 120 million people in the U.S. will have access to its wireless mobile service in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, the San Francisco Bay Area, Miami, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. David Maquera, […]

The Internet has experienced a tremendous success. Starting from an academic (and somewhat free) communication network, it has been expanded to commercial purposes and has led to congestion. The way customers are currently charged is based on a so-called flat-rate price: they pay a fixed subscription fee to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and have an unlimited access to the network. This simple and attractive method is nonetheless unfair since it does not discriminate users. Introducing new pricing schemes seems a valuable option for allowing congestion control and service differentiation among users or applications. While congestion hardly occur in the backbone network, we still have to investigate ways to control it in access networks, the so-called last mile problem, with a special emphasis on wireless. The challenge is therefore to design a pricing scheme representing a good trade-off between economic efficiency and engineering simplicity and that both users and providers would accept. During this talk, we will review few models for pricing bandwidth usage. We will also briefly present other contexts where pricing seems an appropriate way to incentivize users to participe by rewarding them in situations where each new user introduces an added-value to the network capability, such as for example in ad-hoc networks or peer-to-peer networks. A current research direction we will emphasize comes from the observation that there is not only a relation between customers and providers, but also a competition among providers and heterogeneous technologies, and this aspect needs to be integrated in the models and proposals. A typical example is the competition for access points at a WiFi hotspot, or the choice between different access media (WiFi, WiMax, UMTS, etc.). Similarly, pricing is also now a requirement among competitive providers themselves, which need to exchange traffic to ensure end-to-end delivery. Those points are still in their infancy and we will introduce the challenges and some proposals. This talk is at the heart of cross-disciplinary and novel aspects of networks and system management, on the economics of infrastructure management. It involves networking techniques, quantitative network modeling and model evaluation methods, economy themes, game theory, control theory and optimisation.

In our last podcast we discussed the past 20 years and how things have changed when it comes to broadband and cellular wireless service. In this podcast we provide an update on 4G services including LTE and WiMax. I know we’re seeing Voice over IP services in our homes over wired connections. How about the wireless industry? LTE is considered a fourth generation wireless technology - correct? What's the history with LTE? How did it get started? How about some LTE performance details? Besides just bandwidth (whish is nothing to ignore), what would you consider to be the big difference between LTE and earlier technologies? So, LTE is faster and in a way similar. Could you summarize some of the major features? Now, WiMAX is a little different than LTE but still considered 4G. Can you explain? Wasn't WiMAX originally proposed as a stationary technology? But now WiMAX supports mobility? How would you describe WiMAX architecture? So, how would you compare WiMAX, LTE and 3G? So, we talked about Mark's dilemma in the podcast before this. Do you think 4G will help him?

Internet fa ormai parte delle nostre vite, delle nostre abitudini; le nostre economie si basano in larga misura sulla Rete, che offre uno stumento per il consolidamento di mercati già esistenti e contemporaneamente crea nuove opportunità di business. Ma quanti italiani sono connessi? Qual è la situazione del digital divide in Italia rispetto al resto dEuropa? Secondo il Rapporto Caio lItalia è indietro, con una copertura reale di circa l85%, contro la media OCSE del 90%. Eppure in passato si sono succeduti una serie di progetti per una connettività diffusa su tutto il territorio, lultimo dei quali prevede luso della tecnologia WiMax. Perché quei progetti sono falliti? Esiste linteresse a bloccare la crescita di Internet in Italia? Internet è un diritto universale o un bene di lusso?

Cette semaine à Ça s'branche où? : un appareil photo, des logiciels de retouche vidéo et photo, un téléphone Wi-Fi et des câbles pour connecter ses PC. Top branché, 1re partie La famille, les amis, les voyages... Certains prennent tellement de photos qu'ils pourraient se recycler en photographe pour un journal ou un magazine sans trop de problème! Pour ceux-là, un appareil un peu plus performant est peut-être une bonne idée. Un modèle destiné aux gens qui sont des amateurs chevronnés ou, en d'autres mots, pas loin d'être des experts en photographie. Un nouveau modèle de la gamme Lumix, de Panasonic, est à la fois un appareil photo automatique et un appareil facile à personnaliser. En fait, on pourrait dire que le DMC-FZ50 combine la forme et les fonctions d'un appareil professionnel à la simplicité d'un appareil photo entièrement automatique. Même s'il ressemble à un appareil « reflex », il s'agit d'un appareil à objectif 35-420 millimètres fixe. Sa mise au foyer ou son zoom optique 12x peuvent être réglés manuellement à même l'objectif. Top branché, 2e partie Certains appareils dans cette gamme sont à objectif fixe, mais d'autres peuvent être changés à loisir. C'est le cas du Canon Rebel, par exemple, qui peut changer d'objectif. Quand on a un peu d'expérience en la matière, c'est pratique, mais c'est parfois plus difficile à manipuler. Du côté des mégapixels, à quelle résolution s'arrêter? 8? 10? 12? À titre de référence, on peut dire que 6 mégapixels sont suffisants pour des imprimés 8 x 10. La marque Olympus propose un modèle comme le Panasonic, le SP-560 UZ, avec objectif grand angle, pour les portraits de groupe ou les panoramas. S'il vous faut vraiment plus de résolution, le modèle EasyShare Z712 de Kodak ne fait pas moins de 12 mégapixels. C'est beau mais c'est quoi? Il porte votre voix à l'autre bout du monde. Il se garde bien de piger dans votre poche. Paris, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro... c'est du pareil au même. Et il n'est pas seulement « huppé », il est aussi très « IP ». C'est beau, mais c'est quoi? C'est le téléphone Wi-Fi Skype de Belkin. Attrape techno Quand il ne travaille pas, Bernard joue à des jeux vidéo sur son PC. Il a décidé de séparer travail et loisir et de s'équiper d'un second PC préparé exclusivement pour jouer à des jeux. Il a évidemment fallu acheter aussi un nouveau moniteur pour ce deuxième ordinateur afin de pouvoir se servir de l'autre PC pour le travail. Pourtant, le même clavier et la même souris peuvent servir pour plus d'un seul ordinateur personnel. C'est d'ailleurs à ça que servent des commutateurs comme celui que Belkin détaille sous le nom de KVM Switch.

The wireless broadband pieces appear to be falling in place: Sprint Nextel says its next-generation high-speed network will be launched in a few markets by the end of 2007. Intel plans to embed so-called ”WiMAX” enabled semiconductors in laptops by the end of 2008 and startups like Craig McCaw's Clearwire hope to blanket much of the nation with WiMAX service. Other companies are supporting hybrid wireless networks so that devices can hop between technologies. Where is all this heading and what does it mean for the ”Anywhere Consumer”?

Quick Tip: Go add yourself to wikipedia. Add a page about yourself. Add links back to yourself. Add information about your products. So Chris, What is it that you do? I create search engine optimization software that allow me to promote affiliate programs through search engines by creating highly optimized web pages. I also create information products and I promote these products in the same way. So Chris, How did you get started doing this? That's very easy. Back about 1999 I was working at a very large mortgage company, who is now a household name now, you see their name on TV alot now. They were paying $10 per application to affiliates for anyone who was referred to their web site who would complete a mortgage application. I didn't know anything about Internet Affiliate Marketing back then and it sort of supprised me that we ended up owing a guy $100,000 for the month. He had referred 10,000 people at $10 a piece who completed a mortgage application. So the marketing people within the company came to me and asked me if I would investigate how this person was able to do this. So I went out and found at what this person had done. He had submitted thousands of web pages to MSN search for different keywords. All these web pages redirected the web surfers back to a 5 page web site. At the time Internet Explorer always defaulted the home page to MSN search. Unless someone installed another web browser on their machine or manually changed their home page, they were using MSN search for search results. So what happened was for personal loans, auto loans, mortgage loans and lots of other searches this person was the first 100 links in MSN search for those keywords. When anyone searched for these terms they would end up on this person's web site. He had cornered the market on MSN search. So the mortgage company asked me to put this system in place. We did and started making alot of referrals to our primary web site. We ended up getting alot of traffic and people filling out mortgage loans for free. The affiliate income was never a steady income I could depend on, so I kept a full time job and did affiliate stuff as a hobby. I made $189,000 from a one page web site. So how do you know if Internet Marketing is for you? The only thing I can say is to try it. One of my favorite things is from Dan Kennedy's book on direct marketing. He has a list of things that every direct marketing system should have. Everyone should own his book "No B.S. Direct Marketing". But basically it follows the path of lead generation, making offers, how to respond, tracking conversions, cross-selling, upselling and follow up. If you send someone a letter, somewhere in that letter should be an offer. You don't want to just send someone a letter and educate them and then say by. You should always make and offer in every item you produce. So that customers can keep the conversation going by taking action. It always easier to sell to someone who has purchased products from you before. So market and measure responses. Keep following up with your customers. One of the techniques for selling is going out there and creating copy for customers who are close to buying a product. But they have a few questions in their mind. You want to cater to their emotional brain. They probably want to know if the product can produce the results that it says it can or if others have seens good results by using the product. Is this product a scam, is it for real, etc... One of the thing that you need to do if focus your copy to the emotional brain. If you were going to build an affiliate page for mortgages, you want to sell the vision. If someone is looking at getting a mortgage are they getting one to have an extra payment every month? Of course not, they have some underlying want or need that is causing them to pursue this product purchase. You want to cater to that emotional want or need. Are they buying this home to pursure the American dream, is their family growing etc... Surround your offering with pictures, the big house, the green grass, the white picket fence, two health adults with two healthy kids, nice car, nice neighbor, etc... That's what these people want. They are looking to make a deposit in their emotional bank account. You want to tell that person hey, I have what you are looking for. People will make an emotional decision twice as fast as they will make a logical one. They will get to the logical part sooner or later, let them make that logical decision after they have left your affiliate page. You want to cater to their emotions and get them on and off your site as fast as possible. People will act on emotion twice as fast a logic. What are the top 5 areas you should focus on in Internet Marketing? 1. Blogging - focus on creating real value everyday. Write several high quality blog posts each day. If you can't create good content, goto elance.com and find someone in India who will write the stories for you. You can usually get an 400 word article for $3 each. It might cost you a couple hundred dollars but it will be well worth it. 2. Podcasting - variation of blogging, different medium. Audio or Video. People learn in different ways, so it's important to offer some options. Some people will buy all versions because they can't get enough of you. Some people will learn better listening driving their car to work, some will learn better by reading your PDF in peace and quiet. 3. Create yourself an information product - Put together a comprehensive information package about a particular topic. You know people who know stuff. Make a list of all the people you know and what they know. Write down their occupation, find out what that means, what things do they do on a regular basis. Find a couple experts and sit down as ask them some questions. Just pretend you know absolutely nothing about the topic of interest. Make them tell you everything. You want to create and information product that is soup to nuts. Transcribe the conversation and revisit it with them for additional information they may have forgotten to include on the first interview. 4. Help other people make money with your product - the long term success of Microsoft has been built on this principle. Microsoft allows other companies to use their products and make money by building customized solutions for their customers. 5. Find a Joint Venture partner - Get your product exposed to other people's customers. Find someone who will promote your product to their email list. If they don't have one, move on. You want to get your product in front of as many people as possible who are interested in the types of products you sell. So what mistakes have I made? The first thing I would say is that I should have got started a a lot sooner. I started back in 1999, but I really should have started in 1995 or 1996. Having those 3 years could have made a huge difference for me. So what is the difference between myself and all the other people who are doing the same thing that I am doing. I would prefer to thing that there are not alot of people who are doing what I am doing. But besides that I think I bring alot of value to my subscribers and listeners. Giving away value builds credibility in the marketplace. I would say that alot of people out there who are doing Internet Marketing are teasing their customers into buying their products and once the customers buy the products they read them and say "Wow, that makes sense", well of course it does, because these products are usually just common sense ideas. If you would have done the research for a few days you would have received the same answer. For example this podcast is some good value you are receiving from me for free. What makes the difference between a good and a great Internet marketer? A good Internet marketer has a good product, with a good sales page and they make some sales. A great Internet marketer has a good product in many formats. PDF, Audio, Video. They have a blog. They have user forums so users can answer questions. They provide a lot of value in every interaction. They post all their contact information on every page of their web site. They answer the phone when you call. They are highly available to interact with their customers. They have an email list, they send regular weekly emails with good value. They have a podcast. They regularly cross-sell and up-sell. They follow-up all the time with their customers. They have a customer relationship management system in place. They have lots of good systems that make the whole process work. Who can you call at 2am? Who do you do business with that would not mind receiving your call at 2am. They have enough trust in you to know that it's important and they should listen. This is a very powerful statement. If you have customers that you can call at 2am, you are doing something right. It's important surround to yourself with like minded individuals who are your power team. What is the favorite part of your day as an Internet Marketer? Freedom. You can do Internet marketing whenever you want to do it. You have alot of freedom and control. What is a little known secret of Internet marketing? It's easy. It's easy to do. Alot of people get analysis paralysis when it comes to Internet marketing. For some people there will never be enough answers, for others they just do it. Just go get started, do something even if it's wrong. Sit down and organically grow your business. Always watch your purse strings. Don't do stupid things that turn a quick buck. Use the family factor, does your product have enough value that you would sell it to your family at the price you charge for it? Would your brother, grandmother, uncle find enough value in your product for what you are charging? So what were some of your goals when you got started? I wanted to make a million bucks. But I don't really focus on that now. I have learned that success is a journey not a destination. So it's important to focus on the little things in life and don't let them slip by. It's easy to focus on creating money on the Internet and let yourself fall into the greed factor. If you want money and money is all that does it for you, you will always be disappointed, money is never enough motivation to keep anyone going long enough to achieve it. Don't be a hungry hound on the quest for the American dollar. What is the next big trend? Social Internet. Content creation by individuals that aggregated becomes a worthy goal. Lots of community forums, collaboration, replication, sharing, mobile content creation. Products that allow for the creation of social networking sites. The ubiquitous Internet will be Internet 24 x 7 at broadband speeds. WiMax and WiFi everywhere. Mobile devices. High speed broadband download. HD movies on the xbox 360. Google Docs and Spreadsheets where people are using Internet based applications for their business needs. The idea of software installation will go away and be reserved for the highest value add. Over the next 30 days, find people to help you create an information product Over the next 60 days, create your information product Over the next 90 days, find a joint venture partner that will help you promote your product. http://www.chrisclarkradio.com

Writely and other Google products like Google Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, Google Talk and Gmail have become a pretty formidable combination. The only disadvantage at this time is you have to be online to use. Next year, with new browser versions coming out, things will change significantly.

WiMax - Why Not? Craig McCaw is a visionary, who has had an uncanny ability to predict the future of technology.  WiMAX has the potential to do for broadband access what cell phones have done for telephony - replacing cable and DSL services, providing universal Internet access just about anywhere - especially for suburban and rural blackout areas. Just like in the early 1980's Clearwire's Craig O. McCaw has been buying up licensed radio spectrum. You may not have heard of Craig but in the early 80's he recognized local cell permits being sold by the the FCC were greatly undervalued and he started bidding cellular phone licenses. He did his buying under the radar screen of the telcos and, by the time they recognized what he was doing it was basically too late � Craig had already purchased and owned licenses in most of the major markets. Of course he had the money - in 1986 Craig and his brothers sold a cable television business their father had left them for $755 million and concentrated on building a national cellular phone network. The story continues - MCI Communications sold its cellular and paging operations to Craig in 1986 for $122 million and their company went public with the brothers holding around 40% of the company. His last big acquisition in the cell market was the $3.5 billion deal for LIN Broadcasting where he outbid Bell South. With the LIN acquisition Craig and his brothers had almost complete control of the 1989 U. S. cell market. McCaw brothers sold the company to AT&T in 1994 for $11.5 billion and a lot of people figured they would just ride off into the sunset � not the case! Fast forward to today - Clearwire, under Craig's direction, has quietly purchased enough licensed radio spectrum  to build a national WiMAX network. What is WiMax?Let's begin by putting WiMax in context.  You and I both have cable modems. This is Broadband access - for residential access either a DSL or cable modem and at the office either a T1 or a T3 line - pretty expensive and not available in all areasWe also have WiFi access - at home, at work or on the road WiFi routers or wireless access points provide mobility with connectivity - hot spots are very small, so coverage is sparsenot that many years ago, we both used dial-up access - many (71%) use dial-up either because broadband is not available or too expensive - painfully slowThat's where WiMax comes in to the picture. WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is the name given to the IEEE 802.16 wireless standard, which provides: speed of comparable to broadband service wireless access (significantly cheaper than cable or DSL and much easier to extend to suburban and rural areas) broad coverage - much more like a cellular network rather than small isolated WiFi hotspots WiMAX works much like WiFi but supports higher speeds, greater distances and a greater number of users. What's needed for WiMax?WiMAX components include: A WiMAX tower, not unlike a cell-phone tower, but able to cover a much larger area - up to 3000 square miles for a single tower versus 10 sqr miles for cell  [Rhole Island is 1045 sqr miles; Bermuda 22 sqr miles; and Delaware 2489 sqr miles] The second component is a WiMAX receiver (a small box or PCMCIA card, or integrated into a laptop - like WiFi in Centrino/Pentium M) A WiMAX tower can connect directly to the Internet using a wired connection (e.g. a T3 line) or connect to another WiMAX tower using a line-of-sight, microwave link.  Can you give us some specs for WiMaxWiMAX can provide two forms of wireless service:non-line-of-sight, WiFi sort of service, a small antenna on your computer connects to the tower uses a lower frequency range -- 2 GHz to 11 GHz (similar to WiFi) lower-wavelength transmissions provide greater immunity to physical obstructions limited to a 4-to-6 mile radius (~25 square miles of coverage; similar in range to a cell tower) line-of-sight service, fixed dish antenna points to the WiMAX tower from a rooftop or pole stronger and more stable, so it's able to send a lot of data with fewer errors use higher frequencies (up to 66 GHz) at higher frequencies - less interference; more bandwidth. Currently, the fastest WiFi connection is up to 54 megabits per second under optimal conditions. WiMAX is predicted to handle up to 70 megabits per second - providing the equivalent of cable modem speeds even when shared by several dozen businesses or a few hundred home users. Distance is where WiMax really outshines WiFi - while WiFi has a range of about 300 feet, WiMAX will provide wireless access for a radius of 30 miles. The increased range is due to the frequencies used and the power of the transmitter. Of course, at that distance, terrain, weather and large buildings will act to reduce the maximum range in some circumstances, but the potential is there to cover large geographic areas. What would happen if I got WiMAX An Internet service provider sets up a WiMAX base station 10 miles from your home. You'll need a WiMAX-enabled computer or upgrade your old computer to add WiMAX capability. You would receive a special encryption code that would give you access to the base station. Potentially, the cost could be much lower than current high-speed Internet fees because the provider never had to run cables. For your home network, things wouldn't change much. A WiMAX base station would send data to a WiMAX-enabled router, which would then send the data to the different computers on your network. You could even combine WiFi with WiMAX by having the router send the data to the computers via WiFi. Craig has also attracted some major investors with Motorola and Intel giving him close to $900 million in July. Rumor has it that, with Clearwire's potential network, within 3 years the company will be able to offer nationwide WiMAX service for around $25 per month which is significantly less that people are currently paying for other providers nationwide lower bandwidth data services. Clearwire is not without competition. According to WiMAXTrends.com:         On August 8 Sprint Nextel President and CEO Gary Forsee announced that Sprint will adopt WiMAX as it technology choice for its next generation "4G" network.              Mr. Forsee announced that its current EV-DO network will complement a mobile WiMAX network.  The mobile WiMAX network will be utilized with a full range of             WiMAX-embedded devices. The products are coming and the providers are committed to build the network. This makes me think seriously about the Muni WiFi initiatives we are seeing springing up in most U.S. cities. Will they survive? If I'm a business person on the road do I take my chances on Muni WiFi or do I just pay Clearwire $25 per month for guranteed access?   References: A Wake Up Call from Craig McCaw, Business Week Magazine, July 24, 2006 The Wizard of Wireless: http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/mcc0bio-1 SPRINT NEXTEL ANNOUNCES THAT WIMAX IS TECHNOLOGY CHOICE FOR ITS NEXT GENERATION "4G" NETWORK: http://WiMAXTrends.com

Local governments are looking closely at different technologies and business models in efforts to provide wireless broadband access. The current number of U.S. municipalities sponsoring access is small but growing. In this, our fourteenth podcast, we discuss some of the methods currently being used and considered to provide access.
