Webinar on Mobile Web Best Practices
W3C organized a free webinar to teach how to mobilize your Web content. Dominique Hazal-Massieux presented how to benefit from the expertise collected through the documents and tools provided by the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group.
Mobile Web Seminar in Paris, France
W3C organized a free public seminar on Mobile Web in Paris on 16 November 2006. This half-day event focused on current results produced by W3C’s Mobile Web Initiative. Speakers included representatives of MWI sponsors, such as Bango, France Telecom, Jataayu Software, MobileAware, mTLD, Opera Software, and Vodafone.
Was reading the W3 website and noticed they started something new called Planet Mobile Web which aggregates posts from various blogs that concern the Mobile Web and I hope to get my blog added to but thats not why I am posting this it is becasue they have alot of geat information being posted so thought everyone interested in learning about mobile web would love this website and feed
The Mobile Web Initiative’s goal is to make browsing the Web from mobile devices a reality, explains Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the Web. W3C and mobile industry leaders are working together to improve Web content production and access for mobile users and the greater Web.
I could not write it any better so I used a paragraph from the homepage just wanted to let all those interested in the Mobile Web to start here they have listings of working group discussions, events and news and more related to the Mobile Web. They also have a great blog
Net Neutrality: This is serious
Tim Berners Lee writes in his blog
“When I invented the Web, I didn’t have to ask anyone’s permission. Now, hundreds of millions of people are using it freely. I am worried that that is going end in the USA.
I blogged on net neutrality before, and so did a lot of other people. (see e.g. Danny Weitzner, SaveTheInternet.com, etc.) Since then, some telecommunications companies spent a lot of money on public relations and TV ads, and the US House seems to have wavered from the path of preserving net neutrality. There has been some misinformation spread about. So here are some clarifications. ( real video Mpegs to come)
Net neutrality is this:
If I pay to connect to the Net with a certain quality of service, and you pay to connect with that or greater quality of service, then we can communicate at that level.
That’s all. Its up to the ISPs to make sure they interoperate so that that happens.
Net Neutrality is NOT asking for the internet for free.
Net Neutrality is NOT saying that one shouldn’t pay more money for high quality of service. We always have, and we always will.
There have been suggestions that we don’t need legislation because we haven’t had it. These are nonsense, because in fact we have had net neutrality in the past — it is only recently that real explicit threats have occurred.
Control of information is hugely powerful. In the US, the threat is that companies control what I can access for commercial reasons. (In China, control is by the government for political reasons.) There is a very strong short-term incentive for a company to grab control of TV distribution over the Internet even though it is against the long-term interests of the industry.
Yes, regulation to keep the Internet open is regulation. And mostly, the Internet thrives on lack of regulation. But some basic values have to be preserved. For example, the market system depends on the rule that you can’t photocopy money. Democracy depends on freedom of speech. Freedom of connection, with any application, to any party, is the fundamental social basis of the Internet, and, now, the society based on it.
Let’s see whether the United States is capable as acting according to its important values, or whether it is, as so many people are saying, run by the misguided short-term interested of large corporations.
I hope that Congress can protect net neutrality, so I can continue to innovate in the internet space. I want to see the explosion of innovations happening out there on the Web, so diverse and so exciting, continue unabated.”
Dear Tim
I just wanted to say I could not agree with you more and have you my full support by doing what ever I can as an American to support your idea.
