DEAR ALL My name is Jun-Hye KIM. I am taking an Internet class. As a class project, I am studying DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service. DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) is a digital transmission system for sending data, radio and TV to mobile devices such as mobile phones Currently, DMB is being put into use in a number of countries. South Korea started S-DMB and T-DMB service in May 1 and December 1, 2005 respectively. As of April 2006, T-DMB service in South Korea consist of: 7 TV channels 13 radio channels 8 data channels These are broadcasted on 6 multiplexes in the VHF band on TV channel 8 and 12 (6MHz raster). As of April 2006, S-DMB service in South Korea consist of: 7 TV channels 20 radio channels S-DMB service in South Korea is provided on a subscription basis and is accessible throughout the country. T-DMB service is provided free of charge, but access is limited in selected regions. Around 500,000 receivers have been sold (April 2006). Receivers are integrated in car navigation systems, mobile phones, personal video players, laptops and personal cameras. I wonder how the DMB service is being operated in other nations? I will thank you a lot for any feedback.

comparative cross-national diffusion of the internet
by catherine middleton 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi Nik, Take a look at the International Telecommunication Union's Internet Reports The Internet Story: ITU Internet Reports 1997-2003, http://www.itu.int/pub/S-POL-IR.ISTORY-2005/en International Telecommunication Union. (2005). The internet of things. Geneva: ITU. International Telecommunication Union. (2004). The portable internet. Geneva: ITU. International Telecommunication Union. (2003). Birth of broadband. Geneva: ITU. Also look at the Promoting Broadband website. The various country case studies provide background information on general internet adoption, not just broadband. http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ni/promotebroadband/ You may find some OECD publications useful too, e.g OECD communications outlook. Paris: OECD., published every other year (2005, 2003, etc.) For Canada, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Road Map provides a detailed account of ICT initiatives in Canada. http://www3.fis.utoronto.ca/research/iprp/cracin/policy/e-policy_map.html CA*Net Institute. (2001). A nation goes online. Ottawa: CANARIE. http://www.canarie.ca/press/publications/ango.pdf I've got a searchable bibliography of references on internet (especially broadband) adoption at http://www.broadbandresearch.ca/endnote/endnote.php. The interface isn't perfect, but you might find something useful by searching "anywhere" on isp or adoption or picking a specific country name. Good luck with this research. catherine middleton >Message: 2 >Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2006 15:41:57 +0200 >From: Nik John <nikjohn(a)mscc.huji.ac.il> >Subject: [Air-l] comparative cross-national diffusion of the internet >To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org >Message-ID: <0J0J000IVKM9PJ10(a)mxout4.netvision.net.il> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >Plenty of histories of the Internet in the US have been written.

Fake ID business booms .
by EunYoung Kim 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hello? My name is EunYoung Kim. I am a Korean and student. The Federal Trade Commission says identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the country. The thieves often use phony Social Security numbers belonging to innocent citizens and do it with the greatest of ease. Undercover video, shot by agents of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service, was used to help convict a man of forging Social Security cards and other government IDs. I can give you answer if you have interest. Thank you for reading. EunYoung Kim * mail : dmsdud292(a)naver.com

The mouse gesture
by Jung so-hee 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

my name is So hee, Jung. I live in korea. I recommend useful program to you. While surfing the web, you might wonder if you could go back or forward to a page that you had visited only by using mouse. A 5-button type mouse for internet user produced by MS or Logitech has buttons functioning as back or forward and enables you to surf the web only with the mouse. But the mouse most of the computer users use is two button type wheel mouse. Web surfing with the mouse gesture!! I recommend this program to you. "Mouse gesture for internet explorer" <img src="http://www.ysgyfarnog.co.uk/utilities/mousegestures/"> After installing the program, you would see a menu, mouse gesture in the tool menu of IE. Next thing you would do is to decide details about what function you would assign to each gestures. (Mouse gesture browsing is available by basic setups without changing it.)

World Cup, SMS & email
by Barry Wellman 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

I'm sitting at the Docas in Lisbon, having just taught a 2-day intensive writing lab. Watching the World Cup. After the game was over (Argentina 2, Ivory Coast 1), the Portuguese commentators came on. But what fascinated me was the crawl at the bottom, CNN-like. It contained email messages from Portuguese fans cheering their team on for tommorw's game. Email was free; SMS was 0.80 euros. The messages kept coming and coming, from all over Portugal. I checked as best as I could -- no repeats. So now one can do electronic cheering. PS: Tomorrow's game is Portugal vs former colony of Angola.

Hi, I am looking for a good on line source for web traffic data on individual sites (including, but not only, weblogs). As far as I know, there is www.alexa.com, which provides rankings and users estimates based on its toolbar's users. Does anyone know of a more reliable source? Thanks, Cristian Vaccari www.cristianvaccari.it www.comunicarepolitica.it
