News Feeds

Posted by on October 29, 2004  /  3 Comments

People seem to be biting the New York Times pretty hard this week, so I’ve added a direct feed to Circuits in the sidebar, and one to WiFi News for good measure. These are just temporary since people seem to be talking about these topics. We can get feeds to most big news sources (Harsha). If you can find a RSS or XML button on any sites you like they can be syndicated. This, for example, is a Gizmodo Wireless feed below. In this feed, as it exists at midnight, the WiFlyer link is relevant to Sri Lanka. It’s router that can convert dial-up to WiFi. They also link to a Cell-to-WiFi converter which is useful for getting less-than-perfect connectivity out to remote areas.

Oh, and the WiFi News has links to the Bangla Broadband story and on the Internet thru powerlines, they’re saying that companies are reluctant to invest.

Policy relevance of “gold-standard” social research

In an overview of studies on India in the United States, Devesh Kapur of the University of Pennsylvania has some less than complimentary things to say about RCTs. They mirror some of my comments about systematic reviews here, the next layer of RCTs, though I do not say anything about the benefits to reseachers like Devesh does.

Assessing the potential for IT-centric development in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province

Since 2016, we at LIRNEasia have had a strong engagement with the post-conflict Northern Province. In my role at ICTA, I was invited to inaugurate the incubator space established by the Northern Chamber of Information Technology on 26 June 2018.

Can new tech help manage rent seeking unions?

Trade unions are supposed to level the playing field for workers. But it’s something else that happens with unions in monopoly services provided by government.

    We recently added RSS 0.9/2.0 newsfeeds to our website, too. So now you can get almost-daily updates about global policy developments in unlicensed wireless by pasting this link into your newsreader:

    We would appreciate hearing from people in Asia with regulatory and policy news – especially when it has not already been reported in English. We also seek contacts and information about “open spectrum” activists everywhere outside North America. Many thanks in advance for your help.

    This updates the information in the preceding comment.

    After becoming a nonprofit foundation in 2005, we got a new Internet domain name, redesigned and expanded our website, and reconfigured our newsfeed. RSS is now supported at
