         <title>Is The Internet Outdated?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Recent exponential growth in broadband video, social networking tools, and IP telephony have relied on the ability of the Internet to support such huge data traffic.  Now early Internet pioneers are pointing out that the web of webs was never designed to support such bandwidth.  Luckily, being pioneers, they're hard at work on the next generation of technical underpinnings for the web.  Read about it <a href="http://www.semelmedia.com/docs/Its%20Creators%20Call%20Internet%20Outdated,%20Offer%20Remedies%20-%20WSJ.pdf">here</a> (.pdf file).

         <title>Ephemeral Networking</title>
         <description><![CDATA[One under-reported (in my opinion) aspect of broadband video has been how the internet enables ad-hoc networks to spring up around time- or location-specific events.  <a href="http://g8-tv.org/">An entire channel devoted to G8 summit coverage</a> is exactly the sort of promise (from a programming perspective) internet video is meant to fulfill and is a fantastic way for a micro-broadcaster to excel where the traditional networks and even cable news organizations fall short.

         <title>Movies and TV Intersect (and Shameless Plug III)</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Time was you could tell movies from TV shows. Movies had big budgets, big effects, and big stars, whereas TV focused on smaller stories and ongoing character development. But in recent years TV has caught up, at least in the realm of narrative ambition and production values, as evidenced by shows like <em>Lost</em>, <em>Smallville</em>, <em>Battlestar Galactica</em>, and the <em>CSI</em> franchise. For the latest evidence, check out NBC's big breakout hit, <a href="http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/"><em>Heroes</em></a>, and the work of the Emmy-nominated <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0783751/">director</a> who shaped it and other recent feature-caliber TV series like <em>Revelations</em> and <em>American Dreams</em>.]]></description>

         <title>Who Pays To Use Our Skies?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[An important debate is going on in Congress concerning how the <a href="http://www.faa.gov/">Federal Aviation Administration</a> should be funded.  Basically the arguments center around whether Congress should retain the existing system, which provides funds from excise taxes and from the general revenue fund, or move to an entirely new system of user fees.  Though the outcome will greatly affect all users of our nation's skyways, it's also a glimpse into how funding debates concerning other federal agencies and industries might play out and how interested parties make their case using all available media.  For an admittedly biased but comprehensive view of the issues involved, see <a href="http://www.aopa.org/faafundingdebate/">this</a> summary.]]></description>

         <title>The Joys of Sport Piloting</title>
         <description><![CDATA[In an era of declining pilot numbers, one communications challenge facing the aviation community is making potential pilots aware of the training and licensing options available to them.  The FAA gave a big boost to those who like to fly low and slow when they created the sport pilot license, which reduces the amount of training time needed for recreational flying in low-powered aircraft.  For a look at some hardy pilots who are enjoying the beauty of the American Southwest up close and personal in a style of flying they call "aerotrekking", enjoy <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117711588858577563.html?mod=home_we_banner_left">this print profile</a> (subscription required) and the video below (don't worry, the commercial up top is only fifteen seconds):

         <title>Saying Goodbye to the Mud Hens</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Commercial air travel seems to be one of those businesses that gets press only when it's bad - delays, poor customer services, accidents, and the like.  Though it's hard to imagine travelers and pilots getting attached to certain aircraft and routes that they fly, here's one such story.
