Morning Roundup: Dallas still has a bad airport, Community Wi-Fi, Broadband Census.

Crunchgear has a fawning declaration of love for DFW, where I passed through on my way to and from San Francisco not long ago.

Did he not see the "electricity vending chair" that I posted about?

Airports are generally the responsibility of governments. They maintain highways, too. We talk about an "information economy" but why are there so few on-ramps to the "information superhighway" for travelers? This is something I hope someone in Congress could make a priority...an "earmark" I could live with. Why do we let T-Mobile extort $7 people every time they fly? Shouldn't we want to make our nationwide wi-fi network as ubiquitous as our mobile network? Heck, we have mobile phone "towers" in large buildings, what's wrong with applying the same build-out to public wi-fi? Why hasn't the FCC chimed in, here?

This is especially important since some non-GPS phones (like Apple's hugely popular iPhone) can get location data by finding known wi-fi hotspots and comparing them to a map. This could be a great way for Mobile Phone providers to comply with E911 requirements that the FCC has set for them. Problems with triangulating via towers? Add some increased location functionality through a wi-fi network.

On the other hand, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA)'s Wireless Customer Bill of Rights that we discussed last week has a section that would keep states from preventing municipal wi-fi.

Maybe that will extend to airports. Meanwhile, I pay my taxes and my fees. Why can't I get some electricity in Dallas?

Also, there is actually a bill calling for a Nationwide Broadband Census which passed the House but is stalled in the Senate. Drew Clark has been a leader on this with his Broadband Census project. I can't wait to hear his talk tomorrow at Politics Online 2008 and should have a good report for you.

The Nexus One is a nice device, but I think the iPhone is better. It has more functions and Apple has more experience with handys.

That says something exceedingly important with the get of the honest life: that it is based on a corporation in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a treasure, something kind of dainty, but whose extremely particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility.

I usually read the content on websites ahead of I leave a comment or short. If I have got nothing at all to say about the content topic, I wouldn't leave any comments. And I want to read someone else’s observations on that post too. Because I often find worthwhile ideas from high quality comments. I might have posted “Tremendous blog! First class posts!” then I could be spamming your blog. I as well have a blog page, the very first thing I'd personally do each day once i signed onto my blog website is have a look at commentary to my articles and personally approve or reject these observations. Keywordluv not merely brings you more commenters. It improves your position in search engines mainly because you’re not simply on numerous “dofollow blog lists” but in addition on a couple of those “keywordluv lists”. Cheers, Leannae

I can't think any reason why I would want anything in between.

Counting down the days to next Thu so I can get my hands on an iPad.

In an effort to resist less than ideal spamming with my blog site, I undoubtedly have a small disclaimer alongside the comment box. I might probably let the blog site readers realise that I support these folks to publicize their own personal internet pages providing that they donate some valuable information connected to the write-up. I never mind doing work a little bit as a way to gain a reasonable link.

I had a site about this topic, but I got so much spam I had to shut it. You appear to have a better spam filter! Well done!

Why is Building a Mosque at Ground Zero simply being sanctioned to occur? I've never heard anything at all so completely foolish in all my entire life. If this sometime comes to fact, It will be the scariest thing possible. yvette

Nowhere within your rambling, incoherent publish was there any sign of intelligence. I give you no points and may possibly God have mercy on your soul.
