| Hello net neutrality, goodbye Internet
As the old adage goes, "Be careful what you wish for — you might get it, and wish you hadn't." Proponents of net neutrality might want to keep that in mind now that net neutrality regulations from either the FCC, Congress or both are a virtual certainty. Net Neutrality DOES NOT Mean the Internet's Demise
Once again our esteemed colleague Johna Till Johnson predicts that the Internet sky is falling -- this time she ominously foretells that net neutrality will destroy peering and make the Internet as we know it go poof. This is nonsense! Peering is a win-win arrangement created and sustained in a net neutral environment, and it will not be destroyed by the status quo. Legally arrived at principles for ISPs?
About a year ago I lamented that the FCC supported neutrality on the Internet. Not that I thought carriers should be able to treat customers' traffic unfairly, but the FCC had acted without proper authority. The issue of a lack of authority may be about to be fixed, and if that happens the FCC will be faced with another question: If it can act, when should it do so?

I enjoy a vigorously ranted pet peeve as much as the next professional pundit and have shared my share here over the years.However, I've never had much patience for the pedantic. Another Look at 802.11g and 802.11n Coexistence
I recently had the opportunity to examine the coexistence opportunity enabled by .11n, to wit, the possibility of supporting a .11g client and a .11n client in the same channel on the same AP simultaneously. I've always thought this is a bad idea, largely based on experience with trying to do the same thing with .11g and .11b. Both clients are slowed to a very significant degree. Get On Board the Android Cluetrain
Recently, a few device manufacturers and carriers have begun reaching out to Android developers, ranging from posts on official Android Google Groups to holding developer conferences. Compared to life a year ago, this is great, and we really appreciate the gestures. However, in other respects, these attempts were somewhat fumbled. Microsoft Subnet is giving away training from Global Knowledge and 15 copies of Microsoft Expression Web 3 In Depth. Cisco Subnet is giving away training from Global Knowledge and 15 copies of Building Service-Aware Networks. Google Subnet is hosting many new bloggers. Entry forms can be found on the Cisco Subnet and Microsoft Subnet home pages. Network World on Twitter? You bet we are | 
Some of the cell towers that dwell among us are cleverly hidden; others, not so much.
What if you could combine the best parts of every phone out there?
