"The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are
untidy."
John Galsworthy
Dear Vorticians,
This week, in the VORTEX Blog, I've covered the topics below. I
hope you'll read them and share your thoughts.
Just what exactly is utility computing?, 06/16/05
For a concept that gets so much discussion, people don't seem
very certain about what it is or who's using it. And it isn't
just me making that observation. A new study shows that purveyors
and potential customers may be from two different planets when it
comes to utility computing. What is utility computing? (And can
you help me find a customer spokesperson? Please?!)

BellSouth moves forward with WiMAX service, 06/16/05
Hate your broadband provider? Want an alternative? Maybe that
alternative will be WiMAX. BellSouth announced plans to trial a
WiMAX service down in Georgia and Florida and here's to hoping
this stuff catches on. Will it? Let me know what you think.

Of mistakes and price wars, 06/14/05
In the initial entry in the VORTEX Blog, read the insights of
other Vorticians on a hoped-for price war in high-speed access,
and find out how such a fight would help us even beyond our
wallets.
