Feature Story / April
17, 2007 LAS VEGAS -- The big talk around NAB, both
during and after everybody went home, was Vonage
VoIP, Bill Gates in China, WebTV,
and the
Webtv program rating game.
By Josie Cory, Gary Sunkin
& Pete Allman. Webcasters are denied rehearing
on royalties, Vonage VoIP issued an injuction, Bill
Gates speaks on WiFi television broadcasting in
China; and Why let the Internet fall into the hands
of Nielsen and NetRatings and AdBenchmarks?
•••
Internet radio broadcasters,
as well as Vonage VoIp, were both setback with bad
news last week, when a panel of copyright judges
threw out requests to reconsider a ruling that
hiked the royalties they must pay to record
companies and artists, and a court injunction
against Vonage that would prevent the money-losing
company from servicing new customers.
•••
Patent woes are just one
of Vonage's challenges Cable-TV operators gain the
upper hand in the Wireless telephone telecasting
market
•••
The Legal Talk around the
Las Vegas convention center what that, "if an
appeals court does not lift the injunction that
would prevent the money-losing company from
servicing new customers, Vonage said it might
suffer "irreparable damage" leading to layoffs, a
customer exodus and even "bankruptcy or liquidation
of the company."
•
••
Even if the Web TV
broadcaster and Vonage wins a stay of the
injunctions and goes on to defeat Verizon on
appeal, it may gain little more than extra time.
One broadcaster historial said Vonage was likely to
be a historical footnote: "like
the one the industry gave Nathan Stubblefield, the
inventor and patent holder of the Wireless
Telephone™, and early day telephone marketer,
(1907 and 1890), The history telephone TimeLine
will state that Voanage was a pioneering company
that changed an industry but couldn't stick around
long enough to enjoy
it.
•••
"It seems like everything is
working against them," said Robert V. Green, a
telecommunications industry strategist with
Briefing.com.
•••
The patent dispute is the
most urgent of Vonage's troubles, but not
necessarily the biggest. The Holmdel, N.J., company
faces major competitive and operational
obstacles.
•••
Cable TV companies
controlled 65% of the market for Internet-based
phone calling at the end of December &emdash;
compared with 23% for Vonage &emdash; and were
growing faster than Vonage. Analysts said Vonage's
$420 million in cash may not last long enough for
the company to turn
profitable.
•••
As for
royalties,
broad groups of public and private broadcasters,
including radio stations, small start-up companies,
National Public Radio and major online sites like
Yahoo Inc. and Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, had objected
to the new royalties set March 2, saying they would
force a drastic cutback in services that are now
enjoyed by 50 million people.
•••
In the latest ruling, the Copyright Royalty Board
judges denied all motions for a rehearing and also
declined to postpone a May 15 deadline by which the
new royalties will have to be collected.
•••
However, they did grant leniency on one point,
allowing the webcasters to calculate fees by
average listening hours, as they had been, as
opposed to the new system of charging a royalty
each time every song is heard by an online
listener. That exemption counts for last year and
this year. After that, the new per-song,
per-listener fee structure goes into effect.
•••
Many webcasters say the sharply higher royalty fees
will put them out of business. Talk of the ruling
dominated a one-day meeting of Internet radio
broadcasters in Las Vegas alongside the annual
conference of the National Assn. of Broadcasters, a
group representing local radio and TV stations.
•••
Also on Monday, several Internet radio broadcasters
announced a campaign to raise awareness of the
issue and encourage listeners to write to their
representatives in
Congress.
•••
David Oxenford, a lawyer representing several
webcasters, said the next step was probably an
appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit, but he noted that
process could take at least a year.

April
13, 2007 / FCC Wireless RFSales For Web
spectrum for the Wi-Fi Net High-speed internet
should be one of the FCC's priorities as it
auctions valuable airwave rights.
As for Webtv Show ratings,
•••
"We simply cannot let the Internet, the most
accountable medium ever invented, fall into the
same bad customs that have hindered older media and
angered advertisers for decades," Randall
Rothenberg, the Interactive Advertising Bureau's
chief executive, wrote in a letter to ComScore and
Nielsen//NetRatings that was released
Friday.
•••
He urged ComScore and Nielsen//NetRatings to let
Media Rating Council, a third party, audit how
audiences are gauged.
•••
THE USA GOVERNMENT-mandated shift from analog to
digital television will allow local broadcasters to
provide better picture quality and more
programming. The move will also enable a more
far-reaching benefit: The airwaves that
broadcasters will no longer use for TV signals
after Feb. 17, 2009, can be auctioned off for other
important uses, potentially raising billions of
dollars while encouraging technological and
commercial innovation.
•••
Those airwaves are a prime slice of the
electromagnetic spectrum, a range of frequencies
through which light, radio broadcasts, satellite TV
transmissions and a variety of other electronic
signals travel. At least 18 UHF TV channels will be
reclaimed in the digital transition, and Congress
has mandated that four of them be dedicated to
public-safety communications.
•••
Parts of six others are expected to be auctioned
later this year, in accordance with rules that the
Federal Communications Commission is finalizing
now. The frequencies will no longer be reserved for
a specific use, but the FCC's rules will help shape
who winds up with them and what they can do.
•••
The FCC's goal for the auction should be to
encourage the development of more broadband
Internet services. So much of the economy's
potential depends on high-speed Internet access,
yet the U.S. lags many Asian and European countries
in the percentage of broadband users.
•••
During the NAB conference, it was LookRadio webcast
from China Xingtv.com, that spotlighted their
feature shows on WiFiMist.com. Following the live
online video event at NAB, Las Vegas, it was
announced they would be issue their ChinaExpo 2008
business plans, during the next few weeks.

According to published reports, Bill Gates spoke in
China about the relationship between television and
the Internet and the future of the Internet
revolution during his current trip to China.
•••
"I'm often asked, is the technology revolution
going to reach an end? And the answer is certainly
that in the decades ahead, we don't see any
limits," Gates said.
•••
Gates cited the growing prevalence of video on the
Internet as an example of how quickly and
dramatically technology improves.
•••
"We really see no limits in terms of bandwidth,
connecting these systems together. New wireless
approaches will let us reach out into rural areas,
will let us have very good, high bandwidth without
wired systems," Gates said.
•••
And television would become fully wired.
•••
"We see TV changing to use the Internet because now
we have enough bandwidth to do not just normal
video ... but also movies or business meetings --
video of any type. That's certainly new for the
Internet," he said.
•••
"Five years ago we talked about music on the
Internet, we talked about photos on the Internet,
but video was not a mainstream thing. Today, it's
very mainstream. For all of these things we're just
at the beginning of what technology can do.
•••
"We see the fact that the power will just get
better and better," Mr. Gates concluded.
•••
WiFiMist.com. believes that the comments of Mr.
Gates, a renowned world business leader, reflect
accurately the changes coming about in the way the
Internet affects lives on a global level. And
WiFiMist.com. believes that its innovative live and
interactive LookRadio service, freely accessed at
www.Wi-FiTV.com, has tremendous growth potential
that can take advantage of these developments.
LookRadio
Is a Pioneer In Online TV
•••
WiFiMist.com. has long touted the coming
convergence of TV and the Internet, and provided
the first LookRadio online short 2 minute segment
movie in 1992, from Murray, Kentucky. The prospects
of a LookRadio web site where you can watch
hundreds of TV stations and chat with others
watching the same program in a live chat box
directly under the viewing screen, and get breaking
news for each country and category listed, and
download a dialer and make free phone calls and
host live video parties all on one web site.
•••
Whether the available channels can support a
competitor to existing DSL and cable-modem services
is an open question, but the FCC can improve the
odds by making the frequencies available in blocks
large enough to create a viable substitute.
•••
The commission should heed recommendations from
high-tech and satellite TV firms, which say a 10%
increase in the size of the current plan's blocks
would allow for more types of wireless broadband
technology. Having more sources of broadband is
particularly important in rural areas, where
high-speed Internet service has been scarce.The
rules should also allow bidders to offer a premium
for a national set of licenses, which would
encourage the creation of national broadband
networks while deterring present broadband
suppliers from hoarding the airwaves in a single
region. Those suppliers might still try to buy
national licenses and offer services that don't
compete with their DSL offerings.
•••
That's why the FCC should require that, for at
least a portion of the spectrum, the winning bidder
make its network available on a wholesale basis.
Such a requirement would open the door for
independent competitors to offer wireless broadband
service over a leased network.
•••
The commission should also require that at least
some of the new frequencies be open to any
compatible device or application that doesn't
interfere with other users of the airwaves. That
way, consumer electronic companies could build and
sell devices without having to strike deals with
network operators.
•••
The UHF channels offer the chance to foster
competition and technological innovation -- a
chance the FCC should take. The public owns the
airwaves, after all, and their value is measured in
more than just auction dollars.
•••
WiFiMist.com. provides a new generation TV delivery
platform that has a geographic sphere
out-distancing any traditional cable or
over-the-air TV broadcaster. Wi-Fi TV memberships
are free at www.Wi-FiTV.com and include such perks
as free online phone calls and free chat and free
online parties.

site www.wifimist.com). Several financing options
are available. For further details email

pioneer in the delivery of video the Internet since
1992.
