Dear Vorticians,
This week, in the VORTEX Blog, I've covered the topics below. I
hope you'll read them and share your thoughts, either by using
the feedback mechanism on the site or by e-mailing me at
mailto:jgallant@vortex.net.
IPTV and a major regulatory issue comes home to my town, 07/22/05
Verizon is bringing IPTV and very high-speed Internet - via
fiber-to-the-home - to my hometown. As a member of the local
cable committee, that puts yours truly on a collision course with
advanced technology and a very sticky regulatory situation.
What's an appointed local 'official' to do?

The widening speed war in broadband, 07/20/05
Speaking of fiber-to-the-home, have you been keeping current with
the widening speed war in broadband Internet access? Are you
getting the best offering in your home office or business? Take a
look at what the DSL and cable providers are up to and read a
great interview with Broadband Reports' Dave Burstein on what the
future holds.

Readers - wise and unwise - respond on Bernie's fate and Dell's
future, 07/19/05
What did readers think about Bernie Ebbers' sentence and my
thoughts on Dell's future? Wonder no longer.
