How Dean Could Win . . . (washingtonpost.com)
Keen analysis by Bill Kristol, the conservative's conservative, that Dean could beat Bush. Sounds like a rallying cry for Republicans to get their act together.

Fascinating analysis by Dick Morris. He's an insider who probably knows where all the Democratic rivalries and loyalties, if any exist, lie.

Time Warner to Use Cable Lines to Add Phone to Internet Service
Time Warner to Use Cable Lines to Add Phone to Internet Service
A high level summary of the VOIP challenge posed by the cable companies. The telcos like Verizon and Bell South have their work cut out for them in reconfiguring the traditional landline business. The huge investments in circuit switching technology will be around a long time and the copper distribution facilities are far from fully depreciated.
Any massive move to VOIP at the customer premises cannot be accomplished quickly. The market for VOIP at this point for both cable and telcos is the broadband customer base, now about a third of households. The business market is another story.
If 800 services migrate to VOIP, that will signal a massive change in investment required at the business premises to get the benefits of VOIP.

This opinion piece is more like Chicken Little announcing the sky is falling. Let me translate this piece into the real opinion of the author:
The drug companies are f....ing America. Because drugs exist and the research that leads to these drugs has been paid for by the drug companies with the revenues from the drugs they sell, Americans are entitled to the drugs regardless of the costs.
Everyone knows the drug companies are bandits.
Republicans don't give a crap about senior citizens' health care.
The Bush administration is lining the pockets of BIG business.
Give me a break, Mr Herbert! Do you think we're all idiots and the Republicans are all evildoers? Wake up!

The beginning of a concerted effort to ramp up VOIP as the voice call technology of choice. We can expect more of these deals, whether the FCC regulates or not. In any event, it's unlikely that state regulation can be effective for VOIP. As previously stated here, the days are numbered for state price regulation of telecom services, beyond, QoS and certification to operate in a state.

Oh this sounds like fun! Windows XP on my ATM seems a recipe for terrorists and hackers. Worse, migrating from a private line network to the Internet's TCP/IP seems the open door for those hackers. I hope the baker's IT gurus really know what they're doing. I had no idea the ATMs were running on OS/2!!

The young people seeking something, anything, relevant oozes from this story. Shapiro captures the young and restless attitude of the swarm of campaigners. Is this energy sufficient to move Dean to the Presidency? I doubt it. More like a McGovern replay.
