Subject: RE: [emergency] RE: Opportunity for CAP? State CIOs Plan System T o Warn Public Of Danger
No disagreement except in extremis (patents have their place; this isn't it). A Hail Mary pass isn't considered a good play; just available. We don't need to have that argument here. We'd be preaching to the choir. My main interest is their business model. If I were a betting man, I'd say they will be competing with Google services, MSN services, Yahoo services, etc. for that business. DHS and HSARPA will have to turn up the heat on a reference architecture for HLS/UICDS. Meanwhile, commercial players will fill the gaps as fast as they can. That's the market. len From: Kon Wilms [mailto:kon@datacast.biz] Patents are patently bad. They also provide a mechanism to secure a market with an inferior product and curb innovation. Exclusive rights is just a synonym for vendor lock-in. After all, this is (supposedly) public information. Cheers Kon
