Milpitas May Make Use Of Old Earthlink Wi-Fi Network - Google to recreate Mountain View network in Milpitas

Milpitas, California is one of those small cities that was excited to get a citywide wireless network from Earthlink a couple of years back and then had to agree to a return of the network when Earthlink’s plans collapsed earlier this year. When the city accepted the network back, its plan was to use it solely as a municipal network. However, a new agreement is pending which would once again offer free wi-fi to about 7000 users per month. The agreement would allow for the formation of a collaborative group called Silicon Valley Unwired which includes the city, Google and I-Net Solutions (the group that provides Wi-Fi for Mountain View in cooperation with Google). This non-profit group would work together to offer the network’s service at no additional cost to the city using the infrastructure put into place by Earthlink.

Medialets Ad Network First For iPhone Platform, Will Throw Ads Into Free Apps

There are already a ton of free apps in the store (134 to be exact), but ad startup Medialets is hoping to increase that number by providing a platform-wide ad network so developers can easily launch ad-supported free apps. Revenue will be split between devs and Medialets, with none apparently going to Apple (MobileBurn is reporting that Medialets's CEO is buds with Jobs from the NEXT days and has the capo's blessing) . Nobody has quite figured out the mobile advertising game on a large enough scale to do anything big, and having your pretty iPhone apps marred with Busted T's creative might be less than ideal, so it will be interesting to see how many developers jump aboard.

Battelle: Google Ad Planner No comScore-Killer After All

imageComplaining about how comScore (NSDQ: SCOR) undercounts unique visitors compared to their internal numbers is a fairly constant refrain from web publishers. So when Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Ad Planner was released with the promise of better figures (i.e. higher unique visitor counts) than comScore, Federated Media head John Battelle was initially enthused. But after comparing the first set of numbers between the two, Battelle writes on his Searchblog, that Google Ad Planner is hardly the hoped for comScore-killer. While the comparison data Battelle received is from comScore, he says given that comScore’s reputation depends on not juicing the stats, he is inclined to trust that the research is bias-free. Battelle’s review follows others, such as ad agency and web publishers, who also found that Google Ad Planner was, in the words of Fo

The Inside Story On the San Francisco Network Hijacking

snydeq writes "A source with direct knowledge of San Francisco's IT infrastructure has tipped off Paul Venezia to the real story behind Terry Childs' lockout of San Francisco's network, providing a detailed account of the city's FiberWAN, interdepartmental politics, and Terry Childs himself. Childs pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering yesterday and is being held on $5 million bail. According to the source, Childs' purview was limited to the city's FiberWAN — a network he himself built and, believing no one competent enough to touch the network but himself, guarded religiously, sharing details with no one, including routing configuration and log-in information. Childs was so concerned about the network's security that he refused even to write router and switch configurations to flash.
