The Internet Is A Series Of Tubes


Thought the latest report on high speed services released yesterday by the was an appropriate occasion to revisit this viral from .

A couple items stood out in the report, including the total number of high speed lines moving past the 50 million mark and that this is the first time, according to the FCC release, that more additions of DSL lines occurred than cable modem lines. The FCC study reports that during the second half of 2005 DSL added 3.2 million lines while cable added 1.6 million lines. In a world that focuses so heavily on market share and churn, how will the cable industry respond to that reported 2 to 1 growth rate discrepancy? Short term blip or dangerous trend?

While reading the release I learned about a FCC statistics hub known as the that collects and publishes data from the forms that telecommunications services companies must file with the FCC.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Wes
Hey thanks so much for the AWESOME post! I found it to be very informative. I am looking to create a SMS gateway app, and this solution seems like it will be what I need for the time being. One question I had though is about using short codes. The approach you have outlined is basically the way that you can do SMS messaging without the use of a short code, right? If I were to want to setup this service where they can opt in via short code, is that a lot more involved? I guess I could just have them put an email address in the to: part of an SMS message...is there a simple way to implement this type of simple service with a short code? Thanks!! - Comment left on 07/28/2010.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Morgan
The company I work for is a non-profit organization that drives intoxicated people home with their vehicles. The service is so far a success but we are having some dispatching issues. I'm looking for a program that can send an SMS message to the drivers once the ticket is submitted and log everything into an SQL database that also keeps track of the customer's variable information. Again, this is a non-profit organization so funds are severely limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Morgan - Comment left on 07/02/2010.

Comment on How To Make a 3D Web Video Wall with XML, FLV and CoolIris by dc
To add a custom button to a CoolIris Wall tool bar I added the following line to the swfobject var=flashvars section - customButton: "http://address to your image file,http://url to where you want the button to click to", One note: looks like the custom buttons now display just above the right corner of the toolbar, and no longer on top of it. Good luck. DC - Comment left on 05/27/2010.
