First on the list is cable provider Cox, who offers VoIP to its customers, just like most cable providers these days. A successful lawsuit against Cox would almost definitely mean additional lawsuits against all the other cable providers, who have also been much more successful than Verizon in actually offering a VoIP service that customers find useful. Of course, in this day and age, it seems that rather than improve the product, the answer is to sue everyone else for patent infringement. Just like the Founding Fathers intended.

This also saved me time starbucks Adds AT&T WiFi; Now You’ve Got A Choice For many years, Starbucks has provided a huge footprint for fee-based WiFi from T-Mobile (originally Mobilestar). While many, many others had determined that it made more sense to offer free WiFi in coffee shops and other places to attract users, Starbucks stuck by the relatively expensive T-Mobile WiFi offering. The deal was apparently somewhat (though not fantastically) profitable for both companies, which is why they never seemed to budge from it, even as the idea of fee-based WiFi lost a lot of its luster. However, it looks like things are finally shaking up a bit. Starbucks has now announced that it’s also adding AT&T’s hotspot offering to its stores, which is a pretty big deal, since AT&T offers access to its WiFi hotspots for free to most DSL customers. Prior to this, most of AT&T’s hotspots were found in McDonalds — so adding Starbucks is a big win.
It’s interesting to note, however, that Starbucks hasn’t dumped T-Mobile, it’s just added AT&T. It’s not clear if this means that Starbucks will be installing separate WiFi equipment for both services, but given the recent deal between Apple and Starbucks to let iPhone users access iTunes via WiFi for free, you had to figure that the company was going to be changing some of its WiFi backend equipment. Also given AT&T’s iPhone connection, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that AT&T was a part of the new Starbucks offering. The other interesting bit is that for non-subscribers, the AT&T WiFi will be noticeably cheaper in one-off use than T-Mobile’s — meaning even if T-Mobile hasn’t been “dumped” it may have just lost many one-time users. If anything, this may continue to push Starbucks to move closer and closer to finally giving up the paid solution and offering WiFi for free — just as many Starbucks managers have been begging the company to do for years.

(InfoWorld) InfoWorld - The 2008 Microsoft Office System Developer Conference this week focuses on the company’s Office application suite as an application development platform in and of itself. On a that note does Ordering Food Via A Mobile Device Deserve A Patent A few weeks ago, the USPTO revealed a patent application from Apple that’s getting some attention in the press from folks like Forbes and InformationWeek. Those publications are using the app to guess at what Apple has in mind for future innovations on its mobile devices, as the patent application is for using a mobile device to place a shopping order at a store, and then being alerted to when it’s ready. The real question, though, should be why Apple could possibly deserve a monopoly on this idea? I remember four or five years ago, some folks pitching me on a very similar idea. It had been inspired by the plastic light-up pucks that some restaurants give you when you’re waiting for a free table. Many of those are based on old pager networks, so it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to try to update that concept for the mobile age, and realize that you could do the same sort of alerting via someone’s mobile phone. From there, it was about a five minute conversation before it became obvious that since this was a two way system, you could easily add ordering functionality for take-out, or put a “reservation” in remotely before getting to the restaurant. As far as I know, these guys never moved forward with the business plan, but it’s hard to see why, years later, Apple suddenly deserves a monopoly on the concept. However, it does show, once again, that a lack of official “prior art” shouldn’t automatically be reason to grant a patent. Just because something hasn’t yet been done commercially doesn’t mean that it’s not a fairly obvious idea to people in the space. Hopefully, the USPTO recognizes that and rejects the patent application, but given what gets approved these days, that doesn’t seem likely.
