The Battle Over AT&T's Fiber Rollout 121

Tyler Too writes "AT&T is facing heated opposition from some communities where it wants to deploy its U-Verse fiber network. Ars Technica has a feature looking at the situation in the suburbs of Chicago. 'Legal uncertainty is the rule when it comes to IPTV deployments by telecommunications companies. Neither Congress nor the FCC [has] weighed in on whether services like U-verse require their operators to take out a cable franchise from cities, and no federal judge has issued a definitive ruling.' It's not just Chicago, either: 'With AT&T set to upgrade its infrastructure to support U-verse across its wide service area, this is a battle that could play out in thousands of communities across the country over the next few years.'"

Comment Final Senior Project (Score 1) 431

At the small private university I go to our CS department has a senior project we must complete before we graduate. Typically, the senior project has 2 classes for this. During your fall semester, the first class establishes your project, group, and introduces the planning process of the project as well talks about the moral parts of intellectual property. It mostly tries to create the role of a project manager for group members.

The second class, taken in the spring, takes all your project management artifacts you created (e.g. work breakdown schedule) and then implements them into creating the actual thing you've planned out. In the end you present your project to our CS faculty and your stakeholders. The projects we get are real world projects that we get from businesses which a lot of the times gets used in their organizations.

Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" 529

Theovon writes, "It's only been two days since the announcement of the official release of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), and the fallout has been very interesting to watch. By and large, fresh installs of Edgy tend to go well. Many people report improved performance over Dapper, improved stability, better device support, etc. A good showing. But what I find really interesting is the debacle that it has been for people who wanted to do an 'upgrade' from Dapper (6.06). Installing OS upgrades has historically been fraught with problems, but previous Ubuntu releases, many other Linux distros, and MacOS X have done surprisingly well in the recent past. But not Edgy." Read on for the rest of Theovon's detailed report.
