Want open spectrum? Well, say so.
 Dave and Glenn are poised to continue deconstructing the next David Gallagher piece, currently pitched as a technobloggers vs. warbloggers story, as soon as it comes out in the New York Times. (Glenn says David says it won't be that kind of story.) Even if the piece does right by its subjects, we're looking at a tectonic event in the history of journalism here — rather like the one we had in March, when bloggers in the audience at PC Forum appeared to equalize, for the first time, the balance of power between a self-clueing audience and the guy on stage. Au revoir? It looks like Jennifer is seriously outa here. Wonder if she'll be in Munich or London this next week? Earthlink overseas? When I search Earthlink for international numbers I come up with nothing for the U.K. or Germany. Seems odd that they'd have nothing there. Anybody know what's up with that? Driving the speaker In Munich and London this coming week I'll be giving two different talks. And I'm looking for a little bit of background help. Credit will be given. At JabberConf I'll be talking about Internet infrastructure, which to me is the stuff nobody owns, everybody can use and anybody can improve. Mostly it's protocols: http, ftp, smtp... Is Jabber's protocol there yet? I've heard that Apple's upcomong chat system will be using Jabber (not the server, just the protocol). I don't know if that's true, but it would make sense. Anyway, I'm looking for examples of new infrastructural stuff that's happening right now, including Jabber. In London I'll be speaking to a small group of deep thinking government folks. The topic will be "Markets, government and the Internet's new commons." I'm looking here for examples of Net- or commons-supported changes or developments in government (or governance). Or any other interesing input you can give me. Thanks in advance. Related: Ravi Shankar Heard Norah Jones on a hippie fringe radio station driving down from San Francisco a few weeks ago. She's amazing. Wild-fi Glenn on the Wild West of Wi Fi. Bad news Sheila Lennon blogs yesterday's shootings at the Providence Journal. It can't happen to us, here in this quiet place. But it has. Here's the Projo's own story. Here's the Washington Post's story.
