Julian Sanchez of Ars Technica with coverage of the new, all inclusive coalition looking to catch some government cash to promote universal broadband: http://tinyurl.com/6men6w
On the same topic, Doug Mohney of Fierce Telecom says ‘not so fast!’ The Universal Service Fund is hardly a poster child of logic currently, so let’s take our time before we throw money at the phone companies: http://tinyurl.com/5k9eof
Lots of Yahoo rumors this week, with Brad Stone of New York Times detailing how former AOL chief Jonathan Miller is seeking to raise capital to purchase Yahoo: http://tinyurl.com/628wqd
A new top level domain debuted this week promising to centralize all methods of communication, .tel maintained by British company Telnic. Cool concept, but is it better than GoDaddy’s SmartSpace? Danielle Belopotosy from NYT’s Bits blog: http://tinyurl.com/66k2ra
Finally, Jayne O’Donnell and Jon Swartz of USA Today on the millions that hit online stores on Cyber Monday. I wonder how many actually purchased something, and if this bad retail season will see online take a greater percentage of total retail dollars: http://tinyurl.com/6fhe8b
