Re: Music to My Ears But Not EMI's ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 22 Aug 2000 09:33:57 -0400 From: "Joey Lindstrom" Subject: So now I'm a Telus customer again Over the past couple of years, I've used this forum to champion the introduction of alternatives to "the local phone company", at least here in Canada and specifically the Calgary area. I use two different independent ISP's for my internet service, I use one of the alternative cellphone companies, and I use both Sprint Canada and Wintel for my long distance. All have provided me with excellent service and excellent customer service, and I was a happy consumer of these services. And now I'm right back into TelusLand (Telus being "the local phone company" here in Alberta, and now also in British Columbia). First, my Sprint Canada CLEC service had to be switched back to Telus when I moved last October. Why? Because the area I'm now in is set up for "Voice Over ADSL" service, so even though I'm using two different independent ISP's, they both, in turn, are forced to contract out their ADSL service to... Telus Advanced Communications, which of course is a Telus subsidiary. And one of THEIR requirements? Your voice line *MUST* be a Telus line, not a Sprint Canada line. I can keep a Sprint Canada line but I'm forced to pay extra for a Telus line too - not much point. And now I discover this morning that, thanks to a $6.6 billion takeover, my Clearnet cellphone service is now brought to me by the friendly (HAH!) folks at Telus. Instead of four cell alternatives, I suddenly have only three. And worse yet: Telus now owns both of the providers that use the superior CDMA technology, so if I switch to either Rogers or Fido, I've gotta change to one of those crappy TDMA phones. Who the hell wins here? This highway to a bright new future has made a U-turn and is headed right back to 1955. Next I expect both Sprint Canada and/or Wintel to be gobbled up by the Telus monster. What gives? And why on earth is the CRTC approving this nonsense? I think I'll go stick my head in the oven now... whoops, better wait on that. Telus might buy out the gas company in the next 2 minutes... / From the messy desktop of Joey Lindstrom / Visit The NuServer! http://www.GaryNumanFan.NU / Visit The Webb! http://webb.GaryNumanFan.NU / / I got a chain letter by fax.

Go to this URL: http://a1.g.akamaitech.net/6/6/6/6/www.yahoo.com/ and it shows you the www.yahoo.com home page. It's that simple :) Akamai's servers are set up so that they allow anybody to use their Web servers to access other pages -- and the blocking software companies are going to be very unlikely to block all of akamaitech.net, since Akamai serves ads for tens of thousands of sites, and they would raise hell about it if the censorware companies started blocking their ad servers. We have a page set up at: http://www.peacefire.org/bypass/Proxy/akamai.html explaining what to do if the method doesn't work for accessing a particular page, what to do if it doesn't work the first time, etc. That page looks long, but most of it just consists of instructions for how to handle special pages that might not load correctly the first time, if you try accessing them using the Akamai trick. A representative from N2H2, the company that makes Bess educational blocking software, said that they told Akamai about the problem some time ago but they never got a response: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-2586200.html and Akamai is falling over themselves to deny that this is a problem for them -- well, of course it's not a problem for *them*, it's the censorware companies that are in trouble if anyone can use Akamai's machines to get around their software. Hopefully none of you had the misfortune of being censored by blocking software at work, but if you were, at least you're not any more :) -Bennett bennett@peacefire.org http://www.peacefire.org (425) 649 9024 - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.

I have GTE DSL and it's been > fine for the last 1.5 years. Same here since last December (well, GTE/LavaNet - from what I understand, although GTE's dropping DSLAMs into COs out here like there's no tomorrow, they don't have the "back-end" bandwidth, i.e. undersea fiber, to provide end-to-end connectivity, so they shunt us over a frame cloud to the ISP's of our choosing, or some such). I've had about 2 or 3 10-15 minute outages due to routing problems (at the ISP), and a few weeks back there was a half-day outage due to GTE upgrading all their DSLAMs and the upgrade having a glitch, which affected a buncha people statewide. In comparison, we have RoadRunner where I work, and I've seen them have routing issues that cut the whole island off from the rest of the world for 20+ hours. I have a feeling that criticizing or lauding a national company that's got different operations in lots of different places is probably impractical, since the quality of service probably differs significantly from place to place. - -- Dan Birchall - Palolo Valley, Honolulu HI - http://dan.scream.org Post your reviews; get paid: http://epinions.scream.org/join.html Free web-based e-mail: http://www.themail.com/ref.htm?ref=1163079 My address expires - take out the hex stamp if your reply bounces - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.

Mailing the article to the CDT submissions address will get it posted here - but it will be archived by anybody who archives CDT. If their mailer inserted an X-No-Archive header, that'd still have to make it past the robomoderator intact, and I don't know whether that'd happen. Messy messy messy.

Quoting the article: "Because YourMobile.com clips are not sound recordings, but eight- to 12-second excerpts in computer MIDI format, the company does not have to license the songs from the record labels. It requires only a license from music publishers, which ultimately will funnel money to the original songwriters of the works." This is tangential to the telecom issues of the matter, but is a snippet of only 8-12 seconds long enough to fall outside the realm of fair use? 8-12 seconds of a 3:05 pop song is not a significant amount on a percentage basis. It's not even long enough for a single verse or chorus on most songs. I'm guessing the ring-tone folks are just MIDIfying the most recognizible riff or progression or whatever. If they're actually trying to establish licensing deals with the publishers, I'd say that's exceptionally nice of them, and even if they're not, I don't think there's much grounds for a lawsuit. But my knowledge of copyright is much sharper in the printed-word area, so if someone here's a music copyright whiz, please feel free to correct me. - -Dan - -- Dan Birchall - Palolo Valley, Honolulu HI - http://dan.scream.org Post your reviews; get paid: http://epinions.scream.org/join.html Free web-based e-mail: http://www.themail.com/ref.htm?ref=1163079 My address expires - take out the hex stamp if your reply bounces - -- The Telecom Digest is currently robomoderated.
