GPRS

I want to have a GPRS phone. I do not have it. It’s still too expensive
Especially when you want to transfer data.

Here in Holland we have I-mode and they want to make it a success. 1.000.000 subscriptions they want to have (they=Dutch KPN) at the end of this year.
They do not come even close.

I’ve to move to india where unlimited access for GPRS is $2. GPRS is incredibly cheap in India

The above url-article just illustrates what kind of markup European operators are applying in order to recoup their expenditure on 3G licences

The power of broadcasting

saw at AC’s site a weblog entry about konspire 2b
Within 5 minutes a working channel. Looks similar to Peercast
(backend wise).

konspire2b is a channel-based system. Announcements for files are made on various channels, and your node will respond to an announcement on a channel only if you have previously set it to be subscribed on that channel.

This application needs to be tested further. This has great potential.
just subscribe to a channel and receive the files automatically.
Awesome!
