Ethernet Via Electric Conduits

windows bios world writes "From a CNet article NYC businesses will be able to get internet access via ethernet routed through electrical conduits from a subsidiary of Con Edison. CEC is targeting business customers and telecommunications carriers with its PowerLan Ethernet services as part of a larger strategy to become the premier provider of high-bandwidth transport services for New York." Interesting that a non-telecommunications firm can parley a single asset (right-of-way in existing conduits in the crowded tunnels under Manhattan) into a business.

    Brand Virus

    Until today any acknowledgement of the abnormal possibilities of computer viruses has been impeded by conceptual and ideological barriers, although these may very well be instruments of communication inside and outside the Net.

    Even though it is an issue of unfounded opinions (it will soon be necessary to register the need for gratitude rather than for acknowledgement),it hinders the deep-rooted conviction that viruses are always and anyhow pathogenic agents and the emissaries of damage, whereas the etymon of the Latin lemma refers both to VIS (force, vigor, energy, efficiency),and to VIRESCO (to be verdant, to flower, to be vigorous).

    The virus of Pliny the Elder is sap, substance, the sap and substance of life.

    But the propagation of viruses does not necessarily imply mortality by contagion, indeed, the 'bocconi.vbs' virus recovers the vitality of the Latin root, inasmuchas it was conceived as the first exemplar of brandvirus. 'bocconi.vbs' is, in its genre, the most authentic and sincere application killer of viral marketing in the educational sector.

    This is therefore to be considered a first test of the proactive performance of a sophisticated text like the source code of a virus, in the area of a brand communication, tailor-coder-made, one to one, edifying project. 'bocconi.vbs' constructs relations with all potential stakeholders of the Universitas and also touches the unwilling without violence.

    As a classic form of "worm" based on the Microsoft Outlook© service, 'bocconi.vbs' sends itself, as an attachment, to every e-mail address available on the guest system, inviting the user to visit www.uni-bocconi.it.
    'bocconi.vbs' creates a textual document (bocconi.txt) in the startup directory, and a print in ASCII characters of the Bocconi logo will be appear on the monitor at every startup of Windows©.

    We do not know whether the 'bocconi.vbs' source code will be able to be utilized to become a further, decisive element in the marketing mix of Bocconi University. Although we favor the institution of a virus committee, we will leave the decisions regarding the use of such an instrument up to others, in particular to competent bodies, while urging, however, that opportune measures be adopted for its efficiency.

    Nonetheless, it is necessary to open one's eyes wide onto the 360 horizon of telecommunications, and once again look at what the Net has to offer, that is, to look without fear, which for the most part is unjustifiable and inappropriate, and to move nonchalantly in that virtual space where the majority of emotional, communicational, informative, and economic transactions flow together.

    The initial shock will be overcome by the benefits that the elimination of a prejudice of this type might generate. And this will not be so much because it will bring about the return of an image to the Bocconi brand, in its use as a means of alternate communication, but above all, because of the experimental aspect and the positive relapses that it will exercise starting from its own birth.

    The bocconi.vbs brandvirus will become a status virus in just a few hours' time: not everyone will be able to boast the distinction of contagion.
    The forms of collectable art continue to be based on an ancestral mechanism that forms a value, that of privation. Just as it becomes an object to be collected, taken out of the world and the vulgarity of circulation, the object loses its original function and useful value. It is deprived of it in order "to speak about its owner," and often only "to its owner." The loss or suspension of its original function and useful value are proof of the owner's exuberant resources and the enviable possibility of keeping them unproductive.

    The exact opposite happens here: there is no wish for power, but rather for temporary impotence, not for expectation but rather for surprise, there is no speech but rather a contemporary and collective coaction for silence: a virus is to a status virus like the cookies of a site of highly interactive erotic content (http://www.xxx.com) are to the mailing list of Christie's top clients.

    For these reasons, singling out the Bocconi University observatory as the paradigmatic place for research on the mechanisms and laws that can generate a growth in brand values is, in a certain sense, a necessary act.

      Oh I just love europeans and their funny little dialects. Its so quaint! I always wonder if they talk that way in their little cottages after the town fair where they all got completely wasted.

    Actually, there was an article a while back about being able to dechiper modem trnsmission via the TX/RX lights falshing patterns. The short version is that since modems send serial data, the on-off tx light is a good proxy for whether the modem is sending a 1 or a 0. You can time the lights (LEDs quickly change state so optical delays are negligable), and reconstruct the waveform of the transmitted data. How useful that would be in the real world, who knows?
