  • What does analog really mean (def1, def2, def3 and image) – and analog v digital cell phone call quality
  • Is the Long Tail something that Chris Anderson made up? Or is it a real concept?
  • Is there any possible way that a person could gain access to the Internet without have to pay an ISP like the reading suggests?
  • As far as “owing the Internet” is this battle still going on? Are different corporations trying to buy the Internet?
  • A bit off topic – but what are your thoughts on a “code of conduct” such as that which Tim O’Reilly started to draft for bloggers and blog comments?
