I’ve been fighting a flu bug and a sinus cold for the past seven days and have had hardly any real energy to write or even think beyond the most fragmented levels. That’s one of the reasons for the erratic nature of my posts and the poor word construction of those I have been able … Read more
They call it “Naked DSL” because you can get it without voice service. In theory this means you could BYOV (Bring Your Own Voice) but the recently announced “Naked DSL” from AT&T, made possible as one of their concessions to the FCC so the Bell South merger could go through, really isn’t just naked.

David Beckemeyer may be one of the few bloggers who can write this type of post and has the chops to back it up. He co-founded Earthlink, bringing what is really the Internet to more people than anyone with the way he developed the EarthLink on ramp technology and the discs. Many think AOL was, … Read more

With that, my first impressions are: 1) It works great for reading web pages 2) Is solid for sending and receiving … Read more
When I read blog posts from people saying things like this I just smile, knowing that my team and client over the past year have worked very hard to reach out to the general market, not the early adopter, to enjoy the power of real time video communications on a personal level. We’re not talking … Read more
Covad, which is rising like the Phoenix, has just announced a deal with “low price” leader United Online for a DSL play. Given how tattered AOL is these days, United Online and Earthlink, both Covad customers are looking more and more like the emerging victors in the independent market for Internet customers.
