I hope Google uses this as a chance to get small cities with fiber connections instead of targeting large cities like Seattle. Cities that may not get a chance to upgrade to fiber in the next 20 years due to sheer stupidity by their local phone or cable company. For these areas, the second Google announces they maybe in the running, these companies will work incredibly hard to get their networks up to speed to compete.
There is a user experience when you use Flash? Who knew?
Live streaming using H.264 seemed to work just dandy watching the State of the Union address on my iPhone while using the Whitehouse.gov iPhone app. Also seems to work great with MLB At-Bat on the iPhone as well. I watched many baseball games last season streaming live H.264 video to the iPhone.
Agree, Central NH is awful for AT&T coverage once you get out of the Concord area.
My AT&T contract is up on July 12th. I tell you, I am going to have a very difficult decision on that date if a Verizon version of the iPhone hasn't been announced or released by then. While I love my iPhone, the AT&T service is just not reliable at all in my experience in New Hampshire, especially if you get out of the major cities. You pretty much have to be in a deep cave to not have a Verizon cell phone signal here.
My thinking is if there is no sign of a Verizon version of the iPhone by July 12th when my contract is up, I may very well switch to a Nexus One or Droid. It is sure going to be tempting.
Grandfathered Custom DNS services do not have the 30-day expiration, since they are considered a paid account.
I work for DynDNS Support. If you have a DynDNS account (which you can create for free) you can e-mail support AT dyndns.com with your questions and we can look into it. Put attention Chris in the e-mail so I can see it and grab the ticket.
I haven't been briefed on providing support for EveryDNS customers yet, but I can check and see if I can get some answers for you. It is my understanding that EveryDNS support wasn't very prompt in their responses to begin with, so that maybe why you haven't heard back yet. In either case, I will do my best to help you out.
You're welcome. We take pride in being very transparent with our customers. You can see that on our company site (dyn.com) and on our twitter pages (http://twitter.com/dyninc and http://twitter.com/dyndns).
Our CEO Jeremy Hitchcock wrote a welcome letter to EveryDNS customers here http://dyn.com/dd-welcome-everydns that explains a little bit more about our plans for EveryDNS.
I honestly do not have an answer for your specific question, but as of right now there will be no changes to the EveryDNS service in the short term as our welcome letter states.
I work for DynDNS Support, so I can clarify what happened here. Our free accounts (ie: no paying services) will expire every 30 days unless you either 1) login to your DynDNS.com account on our site or 2) send an IP address update for one of your hostnames using an update client. Each login or IP address update thus resets the 30 day expiration date on the account. We send out a warning 5 days before the expiration date of the account, giving you time to login to the account to save it. If you do not do that, the account and hostname will be deleted but you can simply sign up again if you lost the account by accident.
For most customers, #2 above will keep their free account active since most ISP's do change their customer's IP addresses often.
If you have an update client that sends us at least one IP address update every 30 days, that will also prevent the account from expiring. Otherwise, it will require a login every 30 days onto our web site.

Those who have lifetime service on DynDNS will not lose it. We take providing that service very seriously, since some of our biggest fans are our longtime customers.
