New Rules? 700 MHz Auction set for 2008
FCC Chairman pledges open access for part of 700 Mhz auction. “Whoever wins this spectrum has to provide … truly open broadband network — one that will open the door to a lot of innovative services for consumers,” Martin said in an interview Monday.

Less than a day after posting my frustration with Adsense, Matt Cutts left a comment and forwarded my article to Brian (last name not given) in management at Adsense operations. Brian phoned me [...]

Even the State Fair and those who cover it are making use of mobile technologies for convenience and function. I hope you enjoy the show!
