Comcast CEO Sees 160 Mbps in 2008
Engadget has a story today about comments made by the CEO of Comcast that has him predicting that Comcast will have 160 Mbps internet in 2008.
The service will be 160 Mbps down / 120 Mbps up. The problem with this is that they never achieve what they promise. It is always a lot lower than this. What am I paying for?
Comcast is never held to the fact that they can’t deliver what they are promise. If they could deliver what they promise, this would be news and it would be nice to see the higher speeds.
It would be nice to have FIOS and I would consider alternatives to Comcast, but there are no better alternatives for me, especially with Qwest as our phone provider. Why can’t a high-tech society like the United States do better at providing high-speed Internet access?
Last day for laid-off ‘Leno’ workers
Last day for laid-off ‘Leno’ workers - Entertainment News, TV News, Media - Variety
The writer’s strike is beginning to take its tool on other workers who work in the media industry. Leno’s staff has been laid-off with no guarantee of returning to work.
This is showing how stupid strikes are and how other people, good, hard-working people, are negatively affected by them.
While I agree with the Union’s perspective that they need to be fairly compensated for their work that is digitally delivered. Their disagreement with producer’s are having a negative affect on other professions. These are professions that make a lot less than they do.
To make matters worse, Leno promised them more than he should have, promising that they didn’t need to go look for other jobs. Well the employees should have had a better sense to believe that, Leno should have known better.
Let’s end this strike. No one is winning it.
Travis Henry decision due soon
The Rocky Mountain News has a story on their website that the NFL is expected to make a decision on today on whether they are going to suspend Travis Henry for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.
According to the article, part of Henry’s appeal to the league is “… was that the threshold of what was detected was too low to be anything except second-hand inhalation.”
For a NFL player facing a suspension for the next violation, or a NFL player in general, to put himself in a situation where people are smoking marijuana is stupid. Just plain stupid.
If he gets cleared, it will be a lucky break for Henry. But, for me, the Broncos should look seriously if they want a player like Henry around.

Wireless now free at Denver International Airport
Wireless now free at DIA : Local News : The Rocky Mountain News
For those of you who travel through Denver International Airport, the use of the wireless access is now free.
It used to cost $7.95 for access and to me that was a steep cost to pay for an hour or less of access. I just didn’t use it. I may consider using it now while I am waiting for my flight.
