In an August 2005 statement to USA Today, Mr. Martin said, "I asked the staff to explore what the Commission can do to ensure that local authorities are not unreasonably refusing to award additional competitive licenses" for video. That's a not-so-subtle message that if the problem isn't solved soon, the FCC may act in the interests of broadband deployment and consumer well being...

In the Dell situation, you see the classic disconnect between what a company wants to believe is excellent customer service on the one hand, and what the customer's expectations were in the first place. Notice in Gupta's article, Dell mentions they have built "two new call centers," yet the irony is that those centers will most likely be staffed with employees incented not on customer satisfaction but on efficiency. What emerges from the Dell fiasco are the following lessons learned:...

Respond to complaints: Complaints provide warnings to ISPs that some of their users may be putting that IP address at risk of being placed on a list to be blocked, but responding to complaints can cost an ISP valuable staff time, and so many of them do not spend the resources to maintain an active complaint response system. However, some managers of lists of blocked IP addresses monitor to see if an active complaint system is in place. If they are not satisfied with the complaint response program for an IP address or group of IP addresses, these managers will include the addresses on their lists for blocking...

In Tacoma, for example, the city's utility ran a $23-million operational deficit in 2001-2002, on top of $16 million in operating deficits that accumulated over past years. Such a dire situation would lead a private corporation into bankruptcy, but Tacoma avoided this scenario by making residents pay for the mismanagement. Unfortunately, these examples don't seem to bother Mayor Newsom and his staff...

Without BI, the company's sales and accounting staff could only get that kind of information through weekly or monthly sales reports, which came in stacks of paper at the end of the month. Those reports were key to adjusting prices competitively, "but nobody had time to look through it," says Patti Gillette-Ostrom, the group's director of IT...

IP addresses are separate from domain name addresses, which can be both letters and numbers. For example, the domain name InternationalStaff.net can be moved around from one Internet service provider (ISP) to another, with a new DNS address assigned by each ISP. Whereas individual e-mail addresses and e-mail from entire domain names can be blocked, most blocking occurs for numerical IP addresses or sets of IP addresses...

Sometimes -- and more often it is like an underground movement -- almost the entire staff whispers about the problem with the corporate name; after all, they are on the frontlines and confronted daily with some kind of a backlash for not having a clear message or a distinct connection with their corporate name...

On the business side the executive not only preferred Linux for data entry (they used Windows for some of the staff) but a thin-client deployment. It's interesting to note that most thin clients seem to be based on VIA technology now. One of the big reasons for thin clients, other than cost, was hardware theft. With thin clients, the government found that when one was stolen, the thief, after discovering he/she couldn't actually use the device, often returned it...
