FCC issues guidelines for number ... (Oct 08 2003 03:58 GMT) - FCC issues guidelines for number portability. The beginning of phone number portability is coming ever closer, and the FCC has issued some guidelines to cellphone carriers for facilitating number transfers. Among them, that they shouldn't keep a customer from changing carriers even if they still own money on their account, and that there's "no technical reasony" why transferring a number to a new carrier should take more than two-and-a-half hours. The guidelines are non-binding, but should give customers a pretty good idea of what they're carrier can and can't get away with. [Gizmodo] |

Oops (Oct 08 2003 03:58 GMT) - Re-reading the last sentence of the previous post, I realized it might read like a swing at immigrants, like, oh, the next Governor of California. Not the intent at all. I was just musing on the fact that California's finely-tuned weirdness looks somewhat less weird to those of us who were born here. |

Se va, se va, se fue. (Oct 08 2003 03:57 GMT) - Manda decir CNN que Davis se va y entra Schwarzenegger. Supongo que hay lecciones importantes para los demócratas en toda esta debacle, pero es tiempo de ir por tragos y no tengo ánimo de comentar más. Mejor lean a Mickey Kaus--que entiende bien el asunto--y a Andrew Sullivan--que lo entiende menos pero le pone mucho entusiasmo.

October 07, 2003, 4:30 PM ET The Federal Communications Commission decided that U2 singer Bono's utterance of an obscenity during this year's broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards did not constitute a violation of the nation's broadcast indecency rules.

BloggerCon wrapup (for now) (Oct 08 2003 03:54 GMT) - I don't know how scientific it is, but I'm seeing loads of links today to this demographic survey of who is blogging. And here are LiveJournal's stats, a site which I'd love to conduct a research study about. And here's an updated chart from Pew Internet Research to show what a narrow slice of the American populace we're talking about. For amusement's sake, here are Wendy Koslow's BloggerCon demographics. And, although I originally intended this to be a short standalone post, this actually works as a segue into further thoughts from BloggerCon. |
