the new york giants are defending super bowl champions, but that and $10 will get you a 12-1 line that they can repeat -- behind four other teams. clark judge wonders why and says these guys are more capable than many seem to think.

for years, we've pointed out that, unlike most every other nation these days, the us lacks any sort of comprehensive broadband policy. whether or not you think that's a good thing may depend on your perspective -- even among free market supporters. if you believe that broadband is a national infrastructure question involving a natural monopoly (a la the highway system) then it's a shame that there's no national broadband system that allows compeion at the service level. if, instead, you think that broadband is not a natural monopoly then perhaps compeion at the infrastructure level makes sense, even if it decreases compeion at the service level. however, there's definitely been a lot of clamoring from folks that the us needs a national broadband policy. for years, the g telcos have resisted this push, often with incredibly misleading statets about how the governt needs to keep its "hands off" their network. that's misleading because they leave out how much of that infrastructure was sidized by the governt -- whether through direct sidies, grants of rights of way or tax breaks.

either way, it appears that the telcos have recognized that they need to get behind a "national broadband policy" before one is handed to them -- so they've created their own, called connected nation. we discussed this back in february, when there was some question about whether connected nation really was a reasonable policy or just a front for the telcos. one of the ggest problems? the more you look at connected nation, the more difficult it is to figure out what it actually does. broadband reports is taking a look at the problems with connected nation, noting that the g telcos are all claiming that it represents a good national broadband policy, but that's hardly supported by the details.

for example, connected nation's broadband plan doesn't seem to involve anything resembling consumer advocates, or any objective look at ways to get broadband to those not served by it. but what does connected nation actually do? basically tells the rest of the governt that everything is groovy and not to do anything. officially it takes taxpayer money to create its own questionable maps about broadband penetration, most of which back showing that there's plenty of broadband penetration (nothing to see here, move along now). then it sends out marketing material to local leaders about the importance of broadband -- effectively advertising inbent telco broadband offerings with taxpayer money. whether or not you support a national broadband policy, this seems pretty questionable all around. it seems to just divert taxpayer money to broadband advertising, without doing much to actually improve broadband.

klipsch’s new speakers look fantastic, and probably sound as good. known for high-end sound with high end looks. it just announced these new home theater speakers that are put together in high-grain, furniture-quality wood. but like me, they’re not just beautiful on the outside, they’re also quality inside.

the speakers use new horn tech to fit g sound into slim canets. that means you get the same audio quality as you would from huge canets in these discreet units.

the new speakers in five varieties that, when comned, give you one of the best surround sounds speaker options on the market. main sound s from wf-35 ($1,499) and wf-34 ($1,199) floorstanding speakers, or the wb-14 bookshelf speaker for smaller areas ($599), the wc-24 ($499) makes center channel and the ws-24 ($749) is your surround speaker. you’ll need to bring your own .

luckily they’re not singles, you get pairs at that price, except for the center speaker. if you’re looking for the total audiophile experience, this is where to start. if you can afford it.

somewhere in britpunk heaven, ian curtis is all smiles as he awaits the june 17th release of the joy division 80gb zune media player. available for $399 from zuneoriginals.net, the limited edition player (only 500 will be made available) not only sports a design courtesy of noted graphic artist peter saville, who provided artwork for both joy division’s albums, it also serves as a handy promotional tool for the new joy division doentary dvd; the movie will be pre-loaded on the player.

all we need now is for apple to out with a new order special edition ipod if steve jobs truly wants to stick a burr under microsoft’s pop culture saddle. new order, of course, is the band that joy division became after lead singer curtis’ suicide in 1980. dueling commemorative media players would prove joy division only half-right: love, and technology, will indeed tear us apart.

nokia and samsung electronics are the number one and number two maker of cell phones, as judged by total units shipped. motorola has lost more market share to fall further behind into third place.

nokia raised its market share by unit sales to 39.1% from 35.5% a year earlier, gartner said. samsung increased its share to 14.4% from 12.4%, while motorola fell to 10.2% from 18.4%. lg electronics increased its share to 8% from 6.2%.

nokia benefited from the broadest product portfolio, which ranges from entry-level phones to models with satellite navigation. the finnish company faces tougher compeion in the high-end section and needs to improve user friendliness and design of its phones, ms milanesi said.

samsung and lg, both from south korea, benefited from demand for touch-screen models, a feature that apple introduced on its iphone last year. both companies also increased their market share sequentially, while nokia and motorola lost ground.

the main reason for motorola slipping so far behind in the race has been the lack of blockbuster models, as well as their lack of low entry phones in emerging markets. ysts don’t expect these trends to change that rapidly.
