CONNECTIVITY is the system that computers cell phones digital devices and music services use to send their product from the source to the destination.
 
in most cases the destination is the individual consumer.
 
unlike rom and data storage connectivity requires action on the part of the consumer. initiate a cell phone call and find yourself connected to the guys from the fraternity. lots of fun.
 
my introduction to rom [read only memory] project was the first ever cdrom yellow pages. weeks weeks after the first meeting with apple the smart yellow pages cdrom was on everybody’s desk. gary kildall and knowledgeset did the entire statewide yellow pages on a single cd. my job included a brief tour of the various company offices and sales branches where the new product was universally endorsed. that was at only 640 megabytes. these days cds and dvds still offer less than a gigabyte of read only memory.
 
with stanford picking up everything they can find there are a few other stand out leaders also looking good as emporer for the new century. rahm emmanuel bill o’reilly general robert gates admiral meyers admiral mike mullen and umberto ecco. however they’ll need to abscond with the senate vote from stanford where the food and event and “new hood” projects have found a real home.

 
marc andreessen inventor of the internet web browser is the “valleylist” avatar this week. andreessen invented mosaic while a graduate student at the univeristy of illinios. with jim clark the mosaic web browser became netscape the first publicly traded internet company.
 
the romulus and remus story involves fred lech and kenny burnham from the good old days. living in the sf mission area. fun roomates exploring world culture. film and education sessions hosted by stephen greengard back from new york. greengard’s fascination. charles and ray eames. the furniture of herman miller. romulus and remus popped up probably after a few bottles of expensive sonoma county wine and double expressos. fred was more interested in roman history than furniture. all the rest of us could do was look up romulus and remus in the encyclopedia. what to do next. it’s a classic. probably true.
 
abandoned orphans nursed by wild animals found a new empire.
 
these days i spend my time writing the latest versions of “valleylist” at bob’s donuts on polk while hiding out in san francisco.

top 10 connectivity companies world wide

if it’s not a new way to reach a consumer in their home then it’s a new way to connect people on the go. a lot of innovation resulting from the breakup and sell off of phone company technology and assetts. it’s often a difficult and dangerous rout with federal authorities involved at every step and important excutives incarcerated for extortion and embezzlement.
connectivity is the future. from basic telephone service lifeline at around $4 a month to the explosion of new services to the home and office connectivity works. just try and count the number of “pipes” to the home and it’s telephone cable wifi dedicated line dns and of course mobile communications. more important than keeping your job or economic recovery owning a cell phone has become the need-to-have technology. estimated at around 80% acceptance world wide the popularity of cell phones is a phenomenon unto itself.
irridium satellite telephone and other new telephone technologies fell by the wayside.
 
runners up to the list of really big successful connectivity companies in the world include metro pcs [$3.81B] comcast [$37B] america movi [$35B] telenor group [$107B] china unicom [$153B] barthi airtel [$10B] and mtn group [$1.7B]. these companies report higher levels of revenue than the “valleylist” top 10 yet since they are privately held foreign companies the numbers are not as reliable as publicly held companies like ntt.
 
in the u.s.a. broadband build out for nation wide mobile communications is the latest federal project approved by the fcc to meet the need to serve customers everywhere.
 
the confusing mess of services from phone and cable companies comes from deregulation and companies competing to provide all and any possible connectivity service. world wide growth combined with rapidly changing technology and the need for higher bandwidth is giving the consumer lots of options and the final decision. anybody in business these days wants to provide a low cost connectivity service of some kind even if it’s only a cell phone app. bigger than the internet or the computer market the cell phone business is the place to be for the 21st century.
 
apple takes the next step with truely mobile internet and multi-media with the ipad. the rest of the pack follows.
 
graduate school programs that have served up a lot of important inventions are second in importance to big time telecommunications programs like nyu columbia sfstate ucla and mit medialab.
 
the sf state graduate program in mass communications where i wrote my thesis surprises everybody because they really place people. most sfstate graduates end up on camera as news anchors or behind the scenes as producers. the maveric again i thought why not analyze synthesize and catch the next wave. the result the thesis
 
high tech with audience appeal: popular culture and the commercial success of home videotex services in the united states
 
mezzanine. massive attack’s best album. still on tour and selling out everywhere. many of us find heligoland a good effort at replicating the enormous success of mezzanine [1994]. sf hair salons don’t want to endorse gavin newsom as anything including lieutenant governor because the city has ended up a total dump. why send newsom to sacramento. next job up after that is attorney general.
newsom seems like too nice a guy to arrest people.
organic agency continues to churn out new deals while the “valleylist” avatar editions find publicity and underground marketing draws a lot of attention to the obvious. what are the local police doing trying to ruin the “valleylist” business. the lame excuse is the police and their phone company pals have a legal problem. reality is they are still trying to “get on top” of the “valleylist” business. even the new guy has “john mowen” on the brain. not a good idea. one email to the fcc and that’s it.

i demand a meeting with my agency.
 
“valleylist” gets lots of praise for being kid friendly with most other internet publications targetting an audience way too adult to be believed.
 
like salon facebook twitter and craigslist “valleylist” doesn’t like the fbi’s version of the internet.
 
we like the fcc’s version of the internet.

the “valleylist” agenda world wide is already a success with high tech and political leaders. i really need the local police to stop their so called “special project” to force me “in” with the hood. tom ridge is a lunatic. willie brown will never serve in politics ever again. fbi director special agent mueller is next on the chopping block. former sjpd chief robert davis is still sending his people to puta hit on the “valleylist” business. it’s a dull old criminal extortion number. no business development needed.
 
it remains the most pathetic law enforcement situation anybody has ever seen or heard of. it’s mayor bates of berkely and mayor dellums of oakland who have had to come down on law enforcement many times over to set real limits to their behaviour. and i’m among their friendly people. i don’t need the abuse or harassment.
conclusion. everybody wants more wireless telecommunication services. instead it’s a supply demand curve designed to maximize profitability. telecommunications approaches the publishing business at around 20% to 30% net profitability.
 
bp fighting the leak of the century finally sold off their problem area in the louisiana gulf for a few billion. the leak was capped many times over. too problematic for big business and who needs another black eye from dealing with the wrong people. thanks again for the bush people who invented the oil business for stepping in and lending a hand. instead the bush people and all the self-described cowboys are running around wasting everything and everybody. calls to the federal government go unheeded. hire your own private army to fight the leak of the century and end up in jail. promotional campaign in fact is the real success story. leverage the bad situation and solve the problem and take your success with you to the bank. who needs another round of “do or die” from bush himself.
 
leon russell‘s tribute to the bush regime featuring elton john is pure southern poetry and political isolationism. i saw leon russell at the great american music hall while living here in san francisco. a friendly city. prosperous. fun. easy.
 
“valleylist” wins again with the bp inspired twitter project promoting political involvement and higher education. and like all the other big businesses involved we plan to take it to the bank and become very wealthy.
 
fcc approvals obtained. it’s all systems go.
