Wireless Broadband Meeting Postponed, and Lunch with Bob

Posted on Wednesday 2 March 2005

Well, the big snowstorm on Monday caused us to postpone the event on Wireless broadband, again!   It was orginally scheduled for Jan 28 and postponed because of another big storm.   We are now targetting March 28, I guess the good news is that if you wanted to attend and couldn’t, now you have another chance.

I was lucky enough on Monday to have lunch with Bob Frankston, of VisiCalc fame. We talked about some of his current interests which include networking protocols, encryption,  widely available free meshes, and why IPv6 is too constraining of an address space.   We also had fun making a Skype-out call from his iPaq over 1xRTT to my cell phone.   And talking about the end of telcos, wireless ones anyway.

We’ll both be at David Isenbergs Freedom to Connect conference at the end of March.   I’m looking forward to that gathering, and will write more about it later.

Bob, by the way, is looking for some high end crypto math guys.  If you know one of those, get in touch either directly to him or to me.
