		<description><![CDATA[The business model for Amazon&#8217;s Kindle is very interesting to me.  It&#8217;s one of few products I can think of that offers free access to the cell phone network, even if you are using it to line Amazon&#8217;s coffers just a little more.
The wireless market is so proprietary and inaccessible in the US that any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The entries I&#8217;ve written for the past month or so examine the role technology plays in everyday life.  I&#8217;ve noticed that many of the entries during this time unconsciously seemed to focus on the negative aspects of telecommunications that we face, particularly corporate consolidations and the effect of telecommunications service interruptions on society.

		<description><![CDATA[The new AT&#38;T (created by a merger of AT&#38;T and SBC late last year) is once again shopping for companies to merge with.  This time, they&#8217;re looking to purchase BellSouth, for $67 billion.  Among other things, the merger would result in AT&#38;T completely owning wireless phone carrier Cingular.  Verizon and Qwest will [...]]]></description>

Easier navigation.  The new design greatly minimizes the clutter of text that has become the norm on other [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s even a page that links to a web site, now long gone, that I created ten years ago.  It&#8217;s unlikely that any web user today has never experienced the dreaded [...]]]></description>

Blogger just came back up from an hour and 13 minute maintenance window.  It looks like the outage was system-wide &#8211; an extremely rare occurence for Google.  With over 10,000 Google servers spread across the globe, it takes a significant issue to bring the entire system down.
Thankfully, the outage didn&#8217;t affect Waileia, but [...]]]></description>

New telecommunications services such as telephones, fax machines, and e-mails contributed to the end of the service.

		<description><![CDATA[2005 was a big year for the telecommunications industry &#8211; a year in which the number of competing players got smaller.  Over the past year, SBC purchased AT&#038;T, changing AT&#038;T&#8217;s iconic logo in the process, and Verizon acquired MCI to form Verizon Business.  Wireless carriers got involved, too: Sprint purchased NEXTEL, and in [...]]]></description>
