Mobcasting allows real time event *discussion*, and I know that Andy is thinking of ways to make it more useful in these regards. Satellite radio and community radio - definitely. I'd also like to toss in HAM radio, and that's something I'd like to see added into 'mobcasting' mainly because it fits inline with the poorly documented (my fault) concept of the Alert Retrieval Cache's next level; ARCTX. Once I get settled somewhere on the planet, I plan to get a HAM license to work on such things in a sensible manner. I wish they would give more thought on how to reach millions. The way to reach millions is actually already happening through the modern oracles: Search engines. Because of the great design of the DDN site, as well as the rapid evolution of it, DDN has become a model for reaching millions because it caters to the lowest common denominator on the internet. The user of search engines. Unfortunately, the recipe that will generate same has yet to be formulated -- much less baked. Ideas welcome. Many people are busy looking for 'higher tech' solutions. I've seen it in ideas for electronic meetings for WSIS, I see it in doing things that pay the bills (commercially related stuff), and I've seen it in resistant communities. In the Nuclear Propulsion program, we used to call it 'Nuking a problem' - where instead of finding the best solution, people found the most acronym-filled, largest amount of equations, and so on.

Re: [DDN] Webheads and the Digital Divide Network,
One of the things I find interesting about the history of podcasting is that it was developed, in part, as a way for people with limited bandwidth to download audio. Audio blogging isn't new by any means; lots of us have been doing it for years. The thing that made podcasting kick into high gear was software that could be set to automatically download audio blogs. That way, you could leave on your computer, go about your business, and have it download new audio content, perhaps over the course of the night. Of course, podcasting has become the hip phenom it is because of its association with iPods, but in reality, you could just think of it as a simple way to download big files in the middle of the night for use on your desktop. So in theory, podcasting _software_ could be a great tool for helping folks with limited bandwidth access large files when they're not actively using the computer. One of the problems is that many podcasts are becoming huge files, tens of megs in size, which are prohibitively large for low-bandwidth users. Additionally, there's a strong push to _professionalize_ podcasting. In other words, rather than having any Joe or Jane Shmo record a short audio blog with free, easy to use tools, more people are trying to imitate the Adam Currys of the world by investing in pre-amps, studio mics, sound absorption blankets, etc. While all of these bells and whistles make your podcasts sounds more professional, it also raises the bar qualitatively, as well as raising expections of the public at large that podcasts should sound like broadcast radio. It's an audio quality arms race in which only the best-sounding podcasters survive and the rest of us using our computer's internal mic get left behind, and that's de-democratizing the whole medium. That's why I'm glad Chris Lydon and his team are doing Open Source Radio - they're using mobcasting (in this context, public contributions via telephone) and are unabashedly happy to mix in content that's low-quality from a technical/broadcasting point of view. Even though the sound quality will leave a lot to be desired, it puts the power of podcasting back into the hands of the people ac Taran Rampersad wrote: Snipped some stuff...

Re: [DDN] Webheads and the Digital Divide Network,
A few weeks ago Andy reported that enrollment had reached over 6,000 in the DDN list. However, in subsequent conversations we all agreed that far fewer than that were actually active in using the DDN and similar sites to learn, collaborate and bring solution to some of the problems that we write about on a regular basis. John mentioned the Web Heads in his 5/7 message. I was part of a 4-hour web heads meeting yesterday (Sunday, 5/8) where 39 people from from countries like Australia, China, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Portugal, Canada, Belarus, and the USA did workshops and shared ideas that were intended to help kids be more successful in school and in jobs/careers. You can view the archive of these workshops at www.alado.net/econference and see the schedule of workshops planned for the rest of this week. You can also see that there is a face to face Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference on Friday May 12 and 13, then another eConference, hosted by IUPUI on May 23. These conferences are intended to draw people together to learn, network, and collaborate on building better systems to help kids born in poverty be in jobs/careers by age 25. I congratulate the Web Heads and the Digital Workforce Society at City Colleges of Chicago for taking the lead to create and host this eConference in collaboration with the Tutor/Mentor Connection and encourage others on the DDN list to move from reading the messages, to participating in the workshop and collaborating where that makes sense. A friend of mine in Chicago, TV newsperson Merri Dee, gave me this quote many years ago. If it is to be, it is up to me. The Internet gives that term much more power. I hope that many of you will join us on line, or this weekend at the Chicago conference, which will be held at the Northwestern University Law School.

Submissions could come by phone (and/or upload); voting by DDN subscribers could take place with use of all that sophisticated (free) polling stuff. The winning pieces could be announced by emails that were also sent to radio stations interested in intriguing pieces for insertions when times were dull. Winning stuff could also be put in text, and submitted to the print media. In many ways this is really fun stuff for people with the cast of mind who read the Digital Divide posts.

[DDN] E-gov worsening the digital divide? (fwd)
From Silicon.com... -ac E-gov worsening the digital divide? Will putting more government services online actually worsen the digital divide? This is the implication of research into the impact of online school admissions systems, which warns there's a risk that only the parents who are already comfortable with the internet are likely to use them. Add to this separate research which suggests that parents lacking internet skills can damage their children's education and job prospects - and you can see a grim future developing for a large chunk of the population. The last thing we need is a two-tier society where those with digital know-how can grab all the best services while the less well-informed - and their kids - miss out. There's a broader lesson here for the government as it pushes ahead with getting services online. While the number of online households continues to grow, there will always be a sizeable minority that will not embrace the internet. And many of them are precisely the people that need to interact with the government - the poor and the elderly. snip http://management.silicon.com/government/0,39024677,39130236,00.htm -- --- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com --- ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
Re: [DDN] Webheads and the Digital Divide Network,
I disagree still about mainly because 15 meg of MP3 is usually less than 64k of text. IT Conversations is a nice site, but it's also a way of enforcing the unavailability of content to the community. If IT Conversations, as an example, is such a brilliant site - why is the bar so high for entry? Sorry. I will lump podcasting into this. It's for high bandwidth people to talk to high bandwidth people, it doesn't permit discussion as much as mobcasting does, and it's also labeled after a piece of hardware that Apple is all too happy to handicap for the ability *to* podcast. My position is strong on this, I know. But podcasting by itself probably is only useful for the visually impaired, and I don't know that anyone does podcasting for that purpose yet. They should. But mobcasting is the superior thing to do in this scenario as well. Ross Gardler wrote: Taran Rampersad wrote: Snipped some stuff... John Hibbs wrote: Lets not lump all podcasting together and write it off. You say as it is used, but that seems to assume that there are no good uses of podcasting. I, like most people, find most blogs do not interest me. Similarly, the majority of podcasts don't interest me. However, just like blogs there are a few podcasts that I find extremely useful. A great example would be http://www.itconversations.com (only useful to the techies out there but it is a good example). This site carries the audio from a wide range of sources, such as radio shows and, most importantly, conference presentations. There are some wonderful presentations at various conferences that I cannot attend, these podcasts make the important key-notes and other presentations available to a wide range of people unable to be physically present at the conference. Audio blogging is for people who have bandwidth. Remember that bandwidth need not be a live Internet connection.

Yet that lack of bandwidth does not limit him with podcasting, he'll be using an MP3 player to listen to the podcasts and will be using what he learns from them to convince the village community that they need an IT Centre.

Dave Pentecost wrote: And the phrase lowest common denominator leads to an easy condescension to your readers. Good point. Perhaps lowest common accessibility denominator would be better. I was trying (and maybe failing!) to make the point that most people on the internet don't have as much bandwidth as we might take for granted. I'll try to think of a better way to write it. Math and English are always a funny mix. :-( Beyond that, there is the concept of the trimtab - a small unit that exerts great influence on the course of a large vessel. I think we can function in that way, and benefit the lowest common denominator without wasting effort in audience development. Err. Well, 'audience development' is sort of a weird phrase. But working on decreasing the Digital Divide could be construed as 'audience development', in that we are trying to increase the size of our audience. Are we working against ourselves? This list has an amazing reach and members who span a broad range of activities. Take care in your efforts to expand it. And if you do change course, I hope it will be in the direction of increased practical advice and tips on appropriate funding, hardware and software. In my opinion, that's what your greater audience needs, not more theoretical discussions. I agree... but I'll also offer that theoretical discussion has a place in the list as well. Funding issues, as an example, are theoretical (until someone gets it). Practical discussions on implementation are actually theoretical to the receiver until they implement them. And broader social and policy topics have a definitive effect on the future of the Digital Divide.

Talkr is an RSS newsreader with a twist - it literally reads out your favorite blogs as a computerized voice.

[DDN] Call for papers-ICT4D and universities
Thought this might be of interest to list members... -ac Original Message Subject:Call for papers-ICT4D and universities Date: Mon, 9 May 2005 15:09:33 -0700 From: Raul Roman [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Information Technologies and International Development /(ITID) is a leading MIT Press journal that focuses on the intersection of information and communication technologies (ICTs) with international development. ITID invites submissions for a special issue titled Information Technology, Higher Education, and Sustainable Development: The Role of Universities in Building Knowledge Societies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This special issue will address how universities in developing countries are implementing innovative teaching, research and outreach activities that link ICTs to the development-related needs and activities of different local and national stakeholders, including scientists, educators, entrepreneurs, governments, civil society organizations, and rural communities. The issue will reflect how universities in developing countries are seeking to contribute to ICT for Development (ICT4D) efforts, the impact of their efforts upon society and universities, and the internal and external challenges they face in realizing a productive and meaningful place in the ICT4D movement. The goal of this ITID issue is to lay a foundation for research and policy making in this area. The issue carries the same title as a conference recently held in Manila (www.cis.washington.edu/manila2005 http://www.cis.washington.edu/manila2005). The Manila conference itself built on previous international meetings at Makerere University (http://www.makerere.ac.ug/dicts/conference), Cornell University (http://www.einaudi.cornell.edu/conf/2004/ict), and the 2003 World Summit on the Information Society (http://www.wsis-online.net/smsi/classes/ict4d/events/ict4d-events-282979/event-view) that focused not only on building universities ICT capacity, but their capacity to leverage ICT to foster social and economic development.* *For example, some relevant topics could be (a) the institutional capacity of universities to create knowledge tailored to different outside stakeholders; (b) the uses and effects of university involvement in community projects such as telecenters; (c) the creation of university programs that prepare students to become professionals in ICT-enabled development, or (d) efforts by universities to engage in local, national, or international policy-relevant research on emerging ICT issues. The topic of this ITID issue is broad and inherently multidisciplinary. The editors welcome a diverse pool of submissions from different fields such as political science, information science, communication research, education, rural sociology, computer science, telecommunications, economics, public health, and public policy, among others. The papers selected will present novel research that is theoretically grounded and methodologically sound, as well as those that relate to policy development and practical on-the-ground approaches to realizing the Millennium Development Goals and creating the building blocks of knowledge societies. Potential contributors should submit a 750-word abstract of the proposed article by May 31^st , 2005 to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/itid for specific instructions for authors. The guest editors of this ITID issue (in alphabetical order) are: Royal D. Colle (Cornell University), Christopher T. Coward (University of Washington), Colin M. Maclay (Harvard Law School), and Raul Roman (University of Washington). -- --- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com --- ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
RE: [DDN] Charity Advantage?
Does anyone out there know if Charity Advantage is a nonprofit or a For profit organization? There is nothing on their website that clearly states what they really are. They say some pretty ambiguous things, like: We want to thank the following foundations for their continued support of nonprofits: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Robert Wood Johnson Foundation David and Lucile Packard Foundation But they really don't say that they received grants from these foundations. They also say: NP Online Action would not be possible without the following companies: Cisco, MicroSoft, Dell, Yhaoo But again they do not specifically say that they received grants or just purchased/use this technology. The only thing that is clearly spelled out is the following: Commitment by Recipient: One-time program administration fee of $59. And, Monthly budget of $35 for website hosting and maintenance.

[DDN] Let's Nominate Andy for the award
Hi, Everybody. Most of you don't know me--I just lurk on Andy's discussion group. However, I do use the material here. I would like to nominate him for an award that he posted about. However, in order to do it, I need to give two or three other names. If you would be willing to join me, please send me your name, email etc. and tell me why! I think this bulletin board is reason enough, but his blog is also excellent as is his other work. Please help me nominate Andy!! Thanks, Tommy (And no, I'm not a guy!) Tommy B.

Telecottages are community technology centers that address a variety of local development needs, from Internet literacy training to e-government services. Hungary's telecottage movement is one of the oldest and best established projects of its kind anywhere in the world, so I'm really looking forward to visiting. Matyas Gaspar, founder of the telecottage movement, will be my host for the week. We'll visit urban telecottages in and around Budapest, as well as in rural areas in southern Transdanubia, just north of the city of Pecs. If all goes well I'll get to visit eight or 10 telecottages, spending the night in at least three different cities (Budapest, Gyorkony and Alsomocsolad). Because I'm visiting Hungary for a book I'm editing on community technology centers around the world, my schedule will be jam-packed with visits to telecottages, as well as interviews with project staff, local users and community leaders. I'll also get to field test my new 8.0 megapixel Konica-Minolta dimage A200 digital camera, which I also plan to use for shooting video blogs. Since I'll be spending most of my time in telecottages, Internet access shouldn't be a major dilemma. So I plan to blog as much as possible during my stay, posting photos, audio and video whenever feasible. So stay tuned from May 11-15; hopefully I'll have some interesting stories to share during that time. Meanwhile, a few days after I get home from Hungary, I'm back on the road again, this time to give a keynote at the GCC e-government conference in Dubai from May 20-25. I plan to talk about e-government for all, including discussing the recent example of the MyPyramid.gov website and some of the equity challenges facing it. Since Dubai is quite wired as well, I'll try to blog and podcast whenever possible. As always, you can find my posts at www.andycarvin.com.

RE: RE: [DDN] Digital Divide, Telecentres and Iraq
Dear Ashish Saboo, Thank you for the courteous disagreement: you show us the kind of communication that tries to avoid the anger that underlies violence. I think that after a bit more discussion we would find ourselves agreeing. You cite Andrew Grove's image of steel, which intrinsically is neither good nor bad, but can become a revolver or a syringe depending on how society uses it. The telecenter, then, like steel, has a potential for harm as well as good. I find images of medicine more useful to my thinking. There is no medicine, no wonder drug, that is useful for any ailment, any patient. We practitioners need to adopt for our work the model of diagnosis before prescription. If a community is the patient, we doctor-practitioners have to study the symptoms of that community to determine if a particular drug will be beneficial now.. In the case of the powerful drug called a telecenter, there are times and communities when that drug needs to be delayed or avoided until there is a readiness to benefit from it.

[DDN] information society terminology - e vs i ICT vs IC
Hello DDN members.. I've been lurking for a while and thought I would post a message myself. I am curious about members' thoughts on various terms we use when we discuss 'information society'. First, I would like to focus on the e vs i issue. (electronic vs information) We have been using terms such as e-govt, e-business, e-commerce, e-education/learning, e-health, etc for about 10 years now. My feeling is that this is not an accurate description and a better alternative would be to use 'i' instead of 'e'. (i-govt, i-business, i-commerce, i-education/learning, i-health, etc) Information society is not simply about 'electronification'. It is about 'informatization', which involves 'electronification' plus changing work processes (e.g. BPR : Business Process Re-engineering). Using 'government' as example : We can use the term 'i-government' as a short term for 'informatized government' or 'informatization of government'. or if the term 'informatization' is not comfortable, We can still use 'i-government' as a short term for 'ICT based government' It's interesting that in the WSIS declaration and action plan, the term 'ICT Applications' is used. But WSIS declaration and action also uses terms 'e-government, e-business, e-health, etc' This is somewhat inconsistent. On the other hand, the ITU uses the term 'e-applications'. Perhaps we can unify these terms so that we have : i-applications : to describe applications in general i-government, i-business, etc : to describe sectoral applications The WSIS also urges national governments to develop national 'e-strategies' by 2008. Perhaps a better term might be 'information strategies' or 'information society strategies' or 'i-strategies'. Second, I would like to mention ICT vs IC (information communications technology vs information communications) Here, I prefer the term 'information communications'. The term ICT is often used as it seems easier to grasp considering that without technology, the 'current' information society would not be possible. Still, 'technology' itself is not the core of information society, 'information' is. (There are many issues such as 'information privacy' which is not just about online information privacy, but is also about offline information privacy as well) Technology is something which plays supporting role in all sectors such as finance, industry, environment, transportation, health, etc. Yet, we don't say finance technology policy, envrionement technology policy, etc. We simply say finance policy, environment policy etc. The same logic should apply to information communications. It's interesting that during WSIS-1, in the initial non-paper on WSIS declaration prepared by the President of Prepcom, the title read 'Information Communications for All'. (which was later changed to 'Building the Information Society : a global challenge in the new Millennium'.) It didn't say 'Information Communications Technology for All'. On a side note, I thought 'Information Communications for All' was much better than the 'Building the Information Society : a global challenge in the new Millennium', as the latter seems to depict information society as something we pass through in the course of history rather than a permanent fixture among human activities such as health, economic, transportation, politics, social, education, etc. (e.g. Humans have always conducted 'transportation' activities, even though we didn't have 'transportation policy' till later stages of human history. Same can be said for information communications. Humans have always conducted 'information communications' activities, even though we didn't have 'information communications policy' in the modern sense till recently) It's interesting that in some countries, there is Ministry of Information Communications, in others, there is Ministry of Information Communications Technology. (The EU on the other hand, uses the term 'information society' for the name of the Directorate General) In addition to 'e vs i' and 'ict vs ic', there are other terminology issues such as 'information vs digital', 'telecommunications vs communications', 'information communications vs ICT vs information society vs information economy vs digital economy' , etc, but perhaps we can discuss that some other time. Hope this is some food for thought. Sincerely, YS Lee National Computerization Agency Republic of Korea www.nca.or.kr (our Agency's name is a bit interesting too... we are working to come up with a better name ... ^*) ___ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
