TODAY'S TOP STORY

Groups raise concerns about 700MHz auction
http://itw.itworld.com/GoNow/a14724a170575a343077157a6

The FCC has proposed the reserve, or minimum price, of about $1.3
billion for a 10MHz portion of spectrum to be paired with 12MHz set
aside for emergency response communications. With that 22MHz of
spectrum, the winning bidder will be required to build a wireless
network to be used by public safety provider and for commercial wireless
communications.

But Frontline Wireless LLC, the startup that pushed the public safety
plan, said Tuesday the FCC's reserve price for the so-called D Block of
spectrum is "unprecedentedly and irrationally high." The winning bidder
will be required to build out a national network costing billions of
dollars, Frontline argued in a brief it filed Friday.

Teen trades hacked iPhone for sports car, more iPhones

Everybody knew that George Hotz, the 17-year-old who managed to unlock
an Apple iPhone so it could be used with carriers other than AT&T would
do well for himself, but did anyone guess he'd do so well, so quickly?
He traded the unlocked iPhone for a $38,000 Nissan 350Z - and, in case
he regretted giving up the phone, he got three more of them to boot.

Delivering Critical Information With Real-Time Reporting

By 2010, 30% of Business Intelligence applications will need to work
with data that is within 15 minutes of being current, according to
Gartner. Why? Because ever increasing volume of business transactions
are conducted online and 24x7, and making decisions based on day-old
data is no longer driving competitive advantage. Join Computerworld,
Ingres Corporation and GoldenGate Software executives as they review a
unique solution, delivering a company's most important asset - critical
information - supported by real-time reporting on a cutting edge open

Meeting the Challenges of Virtualization and Tiered Storage Head-On

Many storage end - users are skeptical of competing vendor claims
surrounding virtualization and tiered storage and rightly so. It is a
significant change from tried-and-true practices and technologies, and
IT executives and managers are naturally cautious about such a major
type of deployment. However the fact remains that many end-users have
been implementing virtualization and tiered storage environments over
the past couple of years, and they are experiencing a significant
positive impact on their business and IT operations. In this discussion,
Scott Genereux will examine the apprehension - you might even say fear -
that remains, and in the process of effectively moving beyond this new
frontier.
