[Wormnet] Aspects of free network - freely translated from swedish

[MiB]

Free translation from a swedish document discussing the 3G dilema.

The third generation Mobile tlepephony are now rouling out in europe, and the hopes are high. Everyone expect that everyone shall buy one. "3G the new massmedia" The new way of communicationg with text and live images on a very skinny screen. The problem is as if would be full member. You have to pay for you megabytes. "For every 2 Megabytes - I shot you in

your pocket. " Meaning reading this text is a price per word And I would become very ritch.

Now I don´t in this matter want to become ritch since - I value more my and others freespeech, except 
some food on the table..

- Now that would not work, and if - you get an idea of whats on - specially when you allready had payed for the magazine, and then again have to pay for the article you are reading. Smart

but dumb.. "In that way we do control the thought and how its spreading - And a threat to the life truthly freedom of expression these, yes i said it.

The third generation mobile phone technology is SLOWER than the DSL systems where you

pay a fixed rate. But if you sell an idea - that doesn´t matter. Its a threat anyway to the ones that just thinks this a cool device - "Control the people device" As of this writing - I listened to a mexican webradio station over winamp(www.winamp.com) and where anyone that likes to can send over this systems. there are many other systems out there. But just to give an example.

The funcy megabytes are steaming over to my other end here in the world, but with 3G this would not be possible. It does cost to much to use, and in relation o f the idea of expressionfreedome in contradiction to cost, what your mind is worth the bag, it seams like less worth when they have putted several biljons in the technical, and the invesment for the rouleout itself. The main buisness idea is to make money on

peoples personal relations ... in an free open information socity. -and in a system and in a world 
that is grounded on the simplest group theory there is.

"The people IS the network." but yet - the wirelss technology and its efficentcy with 802.11b technology

one have much to ask for before its a complete system,

In the relation to 3G Why in the hole world have they built a basestation based system. 
When its not safe at all to just reley on a fixed backbone system at all.

I have the personal meaning that 3G as in its own way do threaten the personal 
intregity, based on the fact with a qestion - who is owning the centralistic network 
- and too what purpose?!

The qestion might not be valid in a scenario of point to point communication, the goverment

didn´t came to be that "embarrensed" in the closed phone world. Now when you go over to 
a new public electronic media - there is to my knowlage not so many rules that are in to 
protect you as an individual in that electronic space. Opening envelopes as it happends 

is not okey, but in the electronic world it is very well accepted. 

but then add some freakouts on images that comes out here and there - and information 

leaks out here and there - the qestion about a certain control can end up terrible bad. 

Some Viberations from 9/11 and you can probably see my thouhgt.

Other qestions what more systems can you connect to this type of network? RFID?

smart juvelery? nice ears? 

There is no citicien foundation image over the hole system. That is needed - there need

to be a discussion between the users over the techinical details - like the Internet taskforce

have had, but more based on the users and their contribution to the network..

And it might be for a good contribution to the network and its fine tuning or for other

purposes regarding is content. No such initsatives, its a completly comersial network

dot. There is no qestions what soever asked about who is sitting in thoes 3G company
boards. My experience from the old university days, was that there where a computer

association - and there where a guy in the middle people asked and had atleast some

kind of communication too. Now that image is about to fade away.

The idea of a product, comes here even to the most basic things like 

democracy and humans and their networks - as is totaly wrong to my point

of view. My thesis is a qestion: Its not right to earn money out of peoples relations

and there by one have to create such technogies that empowers the democracy

system even in in the network structure itself, "making it easy to make network

with allmost a empty pocket" Many other things comes in hand - the infrastructure 
thanks to the idea of "every one is the network" demands better routing technologies

that will stand everything from world catastrophes, comests crashing in, data that must

be moved FAST from one location to another to the real streaming enthusiasm that 

organisations like ARRL have. Whith the idea that the information has more value

that the network itself. No such thought in our well known 3G.

A system that is govered from just only one side - will allways have the one side

point of view - on what kind of content that is good or not. What makes me think

this is bad or not - its the feeling of the 9.11 that can screw up things realy hard

it wouldn´t be for the net thoes images from irak came out in the other hand

and it would not be for the fact that USA acted "wrong" when there where 

free information access - and by remote they should provide for 
better teaching systems.

How will the future end up? - The best thing would be - if there were a online

system for wireless knowlage transport. A new WWW system that could

more conjuctively and interactively take care of peoples current knowlages

and where as in interactivly books -give education from the point they stod

and breathed, emfasising on creativity - the intuetive learning model. And real

problem based networking between real people and how resources could

be administred better. But that is just a dream?

The real qestion that matters - is that everything that do happends inbetween our

closed doors will become public property when ever we do not expect it. I am afraid

that James orwells visions are about to come true. But it should matter if 

the network itself are made so that people have a vote within the system -

where content and sperading of knowlage in a non closed way could

help people to understand and administer resoruces better..
