AT&T and Embarq/Sprint jumping on the muniwifi bandwagon.
WiMAX and IPTV developments.

Web 2.0 is alive again.
The FCC, AT&T, Qwest and Disney on Net Neutrality.

Media:
Open access news: in STM publishing, music distribution (iTunes) and TV sports programming.
Please make up your mind: do you want cellphones in movietheaters (for interactive games) or not (would you please shut up).
