Today's focus: The Internet free ride has to come to an end

By Jeff Caruso

The Internet free ride has to come to an end

They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that rule
applies to the Internet backbone as much as anything else. Johna
Till Johnson this week notes that the carriers can't continue to
operate and maintain the Internet at a loss, and that begs the
question: Who should pay for it, and how?

But wait, there's more

Mark Gibbs follows up on his Backspin column with more truths
about IT, this time coming from people in the IT trenches
themselves. See if you agree with them.

WiMAX could be a "super-Wi-Fi"

WiMAX is about to be standardized, and with the standard could
come a revolution in wireless networking. Network World
Editor-in-Chief John Dix answers the question, why WiMAX?

Has Google returned to its senses?

It would appear Google has bowed to public pressure and has
backed off its absurd stance of not allowing its CEO to be
"Googled" in the press. Or has it? Buzzman Paul McNamara gives
an update and says the story is not over.
