Yesterday the Catalan Supreme Court of Justice ruled that a Catalan village, Camprodon, has the right to charge mobile carriers 1.5% of mobile to a land line in reason of their use of the electromagnetic spectrum "belonging" to the administrative local area.
This new has been dismissed by the mainstream media, but the range of its implications over jurisprudence might be a turn-off.
We will follow-up the next steps and see the reaction of the parties, specially the pronunciation of the telecomm regulator (CMT).
Are not the property and intellectual rights a sort of regulation (not by the goverment but from private owned companies and organisations) over the content in internet?
Why cannot I listen to a canadian state-owned radio podcast?
"Malheureusement, nous ne disposons pas, pour le moment, des droits nous permettant d'offrir notre programmation en baladodiffusion."
Why BBC iplayer content can only be accessed within the Islands?
Nous avons planifié, produit et dynamisé une campagne afin de promouvoir le "vot laïque". Le client, "Mouvement laïque et progressiste" est une organisation à but non lucrative qui rejoint 170 organisation (jeunesse, écologie, formation, etc) de base avec 17.000 membres. Comme organisation elle a comme but l’élan de la formation dans les valeurs laïques parmi la société ainsi que d’une vision moderne de l'éducation et les activités visant les jeunes.
La campagne a été axé sur une vidéo virale qui en prenant et adaptant le récit popularisé par Bertold Brecht a par but avertir des intentions de l'Église et du partie conservateurs à l'égard des sujets comme l'homosexualité, l'éducation, le droit au avortement et la monoparentalité. La vidéo oppose les éléments du discours que l'Église à utilisé avec des images de la vie quotidienne.
Comme vous le savez, le passé 9 mars ont eu lieu les élections fédérales en Espagne. L'Église catholique à été un des acteurs les plus actifs en essayant d'avoir le rôle principale et établir l'agenda du débat politique. Face à ce discours et la manque d'un acteur politique laïque, le MLP a décidé mener cette campagne.
La campagne a eu une répercussion médiatique assez important en tenant en compte qu'elle a débouté en plein période de campagne électorale.
As you have noticed, lately I am concerned with the web2.o bubble to explode. I am a Del.icio.us user from the very beginning and I appreciate the usefulness of its service. Although there are some strange signals that scares me:
There is no evidence of improvement or new features. So, what are they doing in the office?
I cannot see a business model in the service. I thought they would launch a premium version, but no new in that sense.
They are not refer in the most web2.0 reference publications (techcrunch). Of course that is not a real signal, but it adds up to the other.
Since I am worried for the fact that some day it may come up they close down the service, I am starting to back up all my bookmarks.
I launch some recommendation on features to the outer space so if there is live in Del.icio.us planet they may hear it:

Related to the concerns arised from our last post, there is an important issue. What if you trust your content to a startup which may disappear if they do not succed to find a buyer? There is the recent case of Stage6.
Of course, you may subscribe a product provided by a well known company as IBM and they may close down. But we know IBM business model is not a short-term one. Though, we know that most of web2.0 startup are based in a "grow as fast as you can and sell to Google". But what if Google does not buy?
There are lots of web2.0 services which are very useful, but should we trust our content? There might be this point when making a decision on which service we do enrol.
A post in Mark Evan's blog about Seesmic venture capitalists inspired me to write this.It seems that there is a kind of start-up business ready-to-sell before they start operations.
This is my hypothesis: an enterpreuneur sells his/her company to a huge company. He/she gets the money and the popularity in the environment. Then is time to set up a new business, but never risk the money he/she got from the big-deal. He/she has to get money from venture-capitalists, if possible very popular in the hood.So the point is the first company and have a good idea-product to interest venture-capitalists. If it works, we share profits; if it fails, we share loses, but we never lose.
But my concern is that most of these VC are also web2.0 startup enterpreneurs. They invest in someone else's project. Is that a safe managerial strategy?
