Civil Defense — a weblog by Joshua Breitbart

The Institute for Local Self-Reliance has just published a new report called "Localizing the Internet: Five Ways Public Ownership Solves the U.S. Broadband Problem," arguing for municipal ownership of new wireless and fiber optic networks.

The report's author is Becca Vargo Daggett, whose presentation I'll have the pleasure of moderating at the National Conference for Media Reform.

The argument is persuasive. There is clearly a need for more aggressive public involvement in broadband deployment and the affordability of wireless is a great opportunity for that. Giving this opportunity over to private corporations is double the loss."

While I agree, Apple has been pulling some amazing rabbits out of their asses the last couple years and it can't last forever, 2006 will be EASY for Apple to meet product expectations. All they have to do is continue on the measured release of the intel Macs. At some point in the year, throw off a new iPod model. Bing bang boom done. At some point the growth rate for iPod sales will slow, but they have a pretty sweet cyclical market going now. We are addicted to the players. Like any piece of electronics, they and their batteries don't last forever and most iPod users get one to two years life out of each player.
