Today we have some bad and good news. First the bad news: Cox Communications announced that it has a new way to manage it's network traffic; the problem is, Cox decides which packets go ahead of others. The story says Cox will prioritize the traffic it deems to be "time-intensive, like Web pages, streaming video and online games." Other services may be slowed: FTP, network storage, software updates, P2P, and Usenet.

Yesterday's historic inauguration was as expected - millions of people in the subways, streets and on the national mall in Washington, freezing cold temperatures and a great deal of joy and hope.

Ask anyone who dared to venture to the protected zone downtown yesterday and you will get wildly varying stories from each. Some waltzed through security checkpoints while others waited for hours. Some froze in the 30 degree temperatures, while others stayed warm in office buildings, bars and restaurants.

My (and my family's) story, perhaps not surprisingly, was aided by technology. Our plan was simple - my partner and daughter and I would take the Metro to the 7th and D Street, NW security checkpoint to go to the Consumer Electronics Association party just one block away. There we'd have an indoor HD jumbotron with free food and drink to boot.

But it wasn't to be.

Yesterday's Public Knowledge - Silicon Flatirons conference entitled "Reforming the Federal Communications Commission" brought together former Chairmen, Commissioners and staff members of the agency, along with other experts. They provided perspectives on the agency and how it has operated in the past, how it operates currently, and how it might operate in the future. The consensus was clear – the FCC has serious procedural, organizational and cultural problems and is long overdue for an overhaul.

A lot of great ideas for reform came out of the conference, and they revolved around a number of themes. It is hard to fit them into clear categories, so I will simply lay them out.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the Presidental Transition’s FCC review team and a few like-minded public interest organizations to talk about what a broadband stimulus package should look like. The main question: if Congress allocates some stimulus money for broadband-related purposes, what would we propose to do with it and what would those proposals accomplish for the economy and our national broadband infrastructure? While a number of great ideas were discussed which would stimulate investment and create jobs, there were some underlying themes which we think any plan should embody: infrastructure improvement, competition, and openness.

All one needs to do is go to the Presidential Transition website, Change.gov, to see how busy the various agency review teams and policy working groups have been getting the new administration ready to take over the reins of government on January 20. The agency review teams are busy talking to the current occupants of agencies like the Federal Communications Commission to determine what their current agendas are and how things can be improved in the future. The policy working are thinking only of the future and how to implement policies going forward in areas like the economy, health care and national security. And both types of teams are meeting with stakeholders to get their ideas on how the Administration should proceed.

Today, PK was a participant in two meetings organized by the Media and Democracy Coalition. Nearly 40 individuals representing two dozen public interest organizations and foundations attended.

All one needs to do is go to the Presidential Transition website, Change.gov, to see how busy the various agency review teams and policy working groups have been getting the new administration ready to take over the reins of government on January 20. The agency review teams are busy talking to the current occupants of agencies like the Federal Communications Commission to determine what their current agendas are and how things can be improved in the future. The policy working are thinking only of the future and how to implement policies going forward in areas like the economy, health care and national security. And both types of teams are meeting with stakeholders to get their ideas on how the Administration should proceed.

Today, PK was a participant in two meetings organized by the Media and Democracy Coalition. Nearly 40 individuals representing two dozen public interest organizations and foundations attended.

Raise your hand if you like the Internet. Now, raise your hand if you like freedom. And once more for democracy. Okay, put your hands down – I can’t actually see you. If you raised your hand (and I suspect a lot of you did, at least mentally) then I urge you to check out what’s going on for the Third Annual OneWebDay on Monday, September 22, 2008. OneWebDay is a day focused on protecting the Internet, much like Earth Day is a day focused on protecting the Earth. And each year, OneWebDay picks a key Internet value to focus on. This year’s value is online participation in democracy. And what better topic for an election year than that?

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have been quick to blame problems with service quality on so-called “bandwidth hogs.” According to AT&T, the top 5% of their Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) subscribers use 46% of the consumed bandwidth, and the top 1% of subscribers use 21%. But it is unclear what these figures mean, and if congestion problems could even be caused by those who use the network the most. These figures would seem to be describing the bandwidth consumption totals at the end of some designated time period (day, week, month). If this is the case, then 5% of subscribers using 46% of bandwidth consumed is not necessarily cause for alarm.

Excessive bandwidth usage is only a problem when it degrades the quality of service for other users of the network.
