by Nigel Evans To many small-business owners in Orlando, Internet marketing is an entirely misunderstood concept or a phrase that returns a blank stare. Amazingly, the vast majority of small business owners do not grasp the importance of an online presence, nor do they understand that a fully optimized and active website can benefit the business no matter what niche they are in. If you go for a walk today through your local strip mall in central Florida you will count maybe 20 or 30 small-business operations of all kinds.

American Library Association Wants Network Neutrality - wo.ala.org 08/11/2009 By Carrie Lowe , August 10, 2009 At last month’s American Library Association annual conference in Chicago, I served on a Sunday morning panel presentation on the topic of Network Neutrality. On that day, there was no Network Neutrality legislation in Congress (like there is today, thanks to Reps. Markey and Eshoo). There was no flashy evening news piece on the topic, no rock stars on the Hill advocating for a free and open Internet.

Clearwire announced today that it has finished its selections for suppliers for the WiMAX network it is building across the US. The final company to be added was Huawei, which will be joining a list of companies including Motorola and Samsung. Each company on the list will be providing physical components for the 4G network.

Despite tough economic times the world over, the processor market grew by 10.1 percent in the second quarter of this year, driven in large part by continued demand for Intel’s Atom processor. That being the case, one would think we’d see more Atom-based mobile Internet devices (MIDs) or ultramobile PCs (UMPCs) show up in the market place, so why aren’t we? That’s the question news site Arstechnica set out to answer, and what they discovered was pretty interesting.

3G promised us the mobile Internet but, as ever, the hype got ahead of reality. To be fair, by the time that 3G was finally agreed upon and rolled out, the speeds it offered seemed rather pedestrian, and most industry watchers are now waiting on a 4G world for a truly global, mobile Internet with access speeds capable of supporting the kinds of applications and services that the iPhone is letting us glimpse. And that might happen faster than we think.

The data indicating a sharp increase in the number of users of mobile broadband in Sweden has led experts to believe that fixed-line internet might be slowly replaced by mobile broadband. Sweden is one of the countries having the largest number of mobile broadband connections due to comparatively similar prices of mobile broadband and fixed-line networks in the country. A newly published study of the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency shows that mobile broadband users in Sweden have multiplied, as is evident from the trend of four times increase in data traffic in Sweden every year.

In the wake of explosive growth in usage of mobile broadband across the country, there are chances that it will replace fixed line broadband in Sweden. The possibility is also supported by a report of Swedish Post and Telecom Agency, which states that the total traffic of data on Swedish networks increases by almost four times over the last one year. Sweden is listed among the topmost countries in terms of mobile broadband usage, and one of the reasons for this is the competitive prices offered by mobile broadband providers.

Huawei joins Motorola and Samsung as WiMAX Radio Access Network (RAN) vendor for Clearwire’s 4G network. Other strategic infrastructure suppliers include Cisco, Ciena and DragonWave.KIRKLAND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aug. 11, 2009– Clearwire Communications, LLC, an operating subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation, (NASDAQ: CLWR) today announced the completion of its 4G network infrastructure supplier selections, following the signing of an agreement that adds Huawei to a vendor mix that

Mobile broadband is in widespread use in Sweden, where it has become a part of life for people, with usage constantly increasing throughout the country. The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency recently published a report, which suggests that data transfer on mobile broadband network in the country has quadrupled over the last one year. The growth is quite promising, as data consumption doubled in 2008. As a result, data consumption on fixed-line broadband and mobile broadband is almost on the same level.

Mobile broadband is very likely to substitute fixed line internet in Sweden as users have increased their data usage by almost 100% in 2008, strongly suggesting the possibility of a strong growth for at least a few more years. The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency came up with a report recently, which points out that data traffic on the mobile broadband network in Sweden increased by as much as four times last year, showing the huge growth in the use of the services.

Broadband users in Sweden have doubled their mobile broadband usage during 2008, reaching almost the same level as fixed-line broadband usage. A senior partner at Rewheel, a telecoms consultancy in Helsinki, said that mobile broadband has proved that it is ready to overtake the fixed broadband industry. Sweden has turned into one of the foremost nations to accept mobile broadband wholeheartedly.

Recently many people have argued that mobile broadband has reached a stage in Sweden where it can replace fixed line broadband. Reports of the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency state that the traffic of data in the country’s mobile broadband network has grown four times. Further data consumption by mobile broadband subscribers has also grown to almost double last year making many believe that this replacement is possible. Sweden is considered as one of the topmost countries in usage of mobile broadband.

Sweden features among one of the top countries in mobile broadband usage, especially because of highly competitive prices offered by mobile broadband companies as compared to fixed lines. The increasing share of mobile broadband usage in the market strongly indicates a complete replacement of fixed lines by mobile broadband in the near future. It has been suggested that the monthly consumption of data on mobile broadband has doubled last year.

We now live in a world where it’s possible and almost necessary to stay connected 24/7, and where mobile phones play a huge role in helping us achieve this. For the past 6 months or so that I have been following this 24/7-connected lifestyle, I have grown accustomed to checking and dealing with my email every few minutes, being an active Twitterer, staying in touch via IM and Facebook, instantly uploading pictures from my life to the internet, blogging and replying to reader comments,… But for the past 3 weeks, I’ve been back home in Lebanon for my summer vacation and I had to rethink my whole connected strategy.

When we stayed with my friend Chris in North Las Vegas last year, we were delighted to find a Dunkin Donuts near her house. Peter thought we’d left the franchise behind east of Chicago, but here it was, appropriately enough, in Sin City. So for breakfast on this trip, we wanted to go to a Dunkin Donuts in Las Vegas. I asked the parking valet, who sadly admitted he only knew where the nearby Krispy Kremes were, but one of his colleagues remembered seeing a Dunkin Donuts on Sahara near Valley View.

The new BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the model that comes after the Curve 8900. It is a lot like the 8900 with some of the features missing. Physically the design of the Curve 8520 looks a lot like the Curve 8900 but the former has enough new features that set it apart. The Curve 8520 being a lower-end model makes for a perfect starter for someone who is just entering the smartphone category and does not need all the bells and whistles that usually come with higher-end models.

 The blogosphere is buzzing with reaction to Jason Calacanis’s epic post on Apple’s uncompetitive practices. Basically, as concerns iPod, iTunes, switching off apps it doesn’t like or who it thinks are a competitive threat, Calcanis thinks that Apple is acting like a monopolist and should probably be investigated by the DoJ. His most telling points come in the comparison between the current behaviour of Apple and the ex-great monopolist Microsoft: On iTunes: Think for a moment about what your reaction would be if Microsoft made the Zune the only MP3 player compatible with Windows.

Mobile Internet Devices are a hot topic today, but not in the way that MID makers would hope. It all started with Ars Technica explaining that these handheld computers are hard to find and buy . No news flash there since you can’t walk into an electronics retailer and walk out with a MID. Even online ordering is limited to a handful of places. Steve examines this situation over at UMPC Portal and spotlights the fact that MIDs are a niche product. As such, retailers aren’t buying stock to sell.

The International Carrier Sales & Solutions (ICSS) branch of Deutsche Telekom has launched a new service called ICSS Mobile World. The new service is an IPX (IP eXchange) service - which essentially means that more mobile services, from voice to data, can be bundled to operators as data services.

Consumers showed that they really love the Apple iPhone and Apple iPod. However, these are small-sized tablets. This means that the Apple tablet, a larger and more versatile version of the iPod, will surely have a strong impact on the market. Intel and Qualcomm are also pushing to get these tablet-like devices on the market sooner, meaning that they too believe in their success.Although Apple is the leading company in this area, let’s not forget that things change pretty quickly.

Towards Connemara; Sligo - michael.tyson.id.au 08/10/2009 From the Sperrins, we drove for what seemed like three or four times as long as we expected, stopping on the way to get fuel, empty the dreaded black water and top up on fresh water. Once we were about an hour over the border into the Republic of Ireland, the motorway became very picturesque, with enormous steep-sided mountains and passing through a pretty river valley. Eventually, we were closing in on Sligo, a town that happened to have a 3 shop in it, so we could have internet access.

Since its inception, Hollywood has feared innovation, eschewed change, an d dodged development of new business models. It could do so with some impunity since it was protected as the sole source of entertainment for the people of the U.S. Technology developments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, most notably the time shifted viewing first made possible by the VCR, have freed consumers from Hollywood’s hold. People have choices now, finding viable alternatives across the World Wide Web and the mobile Internet.

Peter Glaeser briefly explains different standards for mobile internet communication and their acronyms.

Try to buy an Atom-based mobile Internet device (MID) or ultramobile PC (UMPC). Seriously, try Froogle or Pricegrabber and see if you can find an Atom-based MID or UMPC in stock anywhere. Without some serious digging, you’re going to come up empty-handed, and this is true even for MIDs like the Archos 9 that were hyped in blog posts by gadget enthusiasts. As it stands in 2009, the much-ballyhooed MID/UMPC form factor is a total flop, despite the fact that Intel has been touting it as a core part of its mobile vision since 2007.
