Spectrum wasn't sold to them, it was licensed. A list of specific services they are allowed to provide is in the license agreement. Spectrum remains public property leased out for a specific purpose, and not private property; the gover

It isn't bad Internet. It is a proprietary network like AOL and CompuServe, and not the Internet at all. The name is intentionally misleading. Allowing such proprietary networks to run over public radio spectrum causes harm to the real

[Offtopic] The campaign provides a bcc address to keep track of the number of emails people actually send. However when I sent a response it bounced for this bcc address, although it was delivered to TRAI. This happened on the first day of

Sometimes preventing fragmentation of the network is more important. A mobile operator can't, for instance, use licensed spectrum to run a service that doesn't interoperate with others or with emergency services - even if it'

Facebook's internet.org plan to be somewhat hypocritical, given their (correct) stand in favor of net neutrality in the US. internet.org isn't about the internet at all - it's more a proprietary network similar to Compuserve

Building your business on top of someone else’s platform seems like a risky thing to do. But then again, everyone’s basically building apps for walled gardens nowadays.

Aah, I stand corrected. Although I do hope someone from deity (clever name) also reads HN.

1. Build a small, centralized team to assist every department with API design (not implementation). This would help keep things relatively consistent and interoperable, and may also assist in component reuse. 2. Design in the open — publish

For the Indian government it’s very remarkable that (1) they are thinking about open APIs and (2) they’ve published a draft, presumably for feedback although there is no information on how one might provide it. The title of this post is mis

The beta interface is significantly better: See http://next.scrollback.io/mozilla-ph?tab=threads It splits up chat logs by conversation rather than time - that's a step up from most IRC logs.

I love this redesign. It is definitely more readable and far more enjoyable; removing the clutter of navigation links and bringing focus to the article are massive improvements. Of course, there will be challenges implementing this, includi

About the use of flat files to store the actual JSON: Each object is stored with multiple keys in general, and LevelDB has no native support for values with multiple keys. I considered duplicating the objects, or having a "primary&quot

I agree that it's inevitable that the Chinese government will ban Bitcoin. However, I think their gradual response is more due to the complex preparation needed to enforce a ban, than scepticism about its viability as a currency. The g

I think the benefit is primarily a simpler API and nicer syntax for most of the things you'd want to do. For instance with Q.all, you'd do with: return Q.all([ eventualAdd(2, 2), eventualAdd(10, 20) ]).then(function(values) { co

This went out on FB and Twitter. I guess people who came from there weren't HN users. Hopefully they are now. I agree about the comment quality though, I was hoping for a discussion about the idea itself.
