NYC Allows Photos/Videos to Hot Lines

5 12 2008

All..

NYC Hot Lines accepting video or photos from Cell/Pager Users.  You can video shoot crime in action and then send it to Hot Line.

That’s simply GREAT!  I predict that rest of USA will follow suit.   Means better chances for law to catch nefarious folks or save lives.

State by State Internet Speeds

All..

A quick one.  This is interesting link.  Scroll down and move the cursor over your states and see how fast broadband is down and up and then compare it to Massachusett.

I’m impressed with MA.

Know Our Internet Data in the USA?

29 09 2008

All..

Basically, Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii) wanted to pass a bill that will allow monitoring of our Internet system in the USA to better know our limitations and how to improve it.   He felt that without such data/knowledge, we would not be able to know the true situation in the USA.  

Looks like a regulation to me even though he says it is not; I am not against regulation and I heartily support the concept that Inoye is wanting to see happen.  Read and be informed.

Meter for Internet Use?

23 09 2008

All..

Yuk!   This article is basically about Time Warner using a meter on customer to limit their "excessive" use of Internet network.

Meter for Internet Use Article

This is bit scary.   What about us deaf/hon who use video phones and VRS extensively?   Or for that matter those of VRS providers who employ deaf/hoh to make VRS calls to rack up VRS minutes?  Or those deaf/hoh organizations who sign up with VRS providers and then rack up VRS minutes to get their funds? 

ComCast Letter 

Read the article and the letter be concerned as it may impact us in a big way….

Will all this affect the traffic of Internet network and meters forced on us?   Let us know what you think?
