Thoughts and comments

This page indexes my thoughts and comments on a variety of things. I’ll probably turn some of these notes into papers, etc.

• Enforcing the CDA Improperly May Pervert Internet Architecture.  A note I wrote in March 1996 about the impact of the CDA on end-to-end design in the Internet.  This was the first time I linked end-to-end with policy.
• Response to Bill Gurley note on Valuation of Internet companies. He misses the presence of option value.
• The End of End-to-End?  A note on why that shouldn’t happen.
• Why the Long Wait? Fast Company covers my main point about latency and “forward overprovisioning”.
• Fallacy of Intellectual Property and Engineering Quality – (sent to Farber’s IP list) a response to the argument that IPR is necessary to incent quality in engineering.
• Letter to Intel on speeding broadband deployment via user-financing – sent to Julie Coopernoll of Intel and Farber – reprinted by Farber on IPR list.
• How to fix rogue Social Media Platforms – With Twitter and Facebook out of control, here’s some ideas
• Some thoughts on Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) for future radio – another technology I am tracking is the 3D wave optics that allow superposition of OAM modes.
