United States Radio Spectrum Frequency Allocations There's no shortage of complaints in the U.S. over the perceived shortage of wireless spectrum: Failure to get cellular phone service, interference from neighbors' Wi-Fi home networks, and slow download speeds due to overcrowding. Some have dubbed 2010 a year of wireless congestion.

As folks like Christopher Mims (Technology Review) and Dan Reed (Microsoft Research) point out, spectrum doesn't need to be scarce if the industry simply did a better job of provisioning and dynamically load balancing it. Entrepreneurs looking for a new business idea or students needing a research project would do well to look into this area; it looks like one of the most critical problems in networking to solve this decade.

Some of you in the U.S. who thought you had a broadband Internet connection just last week may be surprised to find out you don't now. That's because the U.S. FCC now defines broadband as supporting 4 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads, according to their new report.

The last time the FCC redefined broadband in 2008, required conenction speeds were only 0.768 Mbps (768 Kbps) or greater. Why the large increase now? And does it really mean anything? Most networking savvy folks know that bandwidth numbers represent only one part of a high speed Internet connection; that other factors like network latency also need taken into account. Time to ditch the term "broadband" entirely, methinks.

The folks at HDTV Magazine recently completed an interesting podcast focused on home automation. In short, home automation is the concept of adding intelligent, typically networked, control to home lighting, air and electronics systems. Despite a lot of hype over many years, the field hasn't exactly grabbed the hearts and minds of most families. Does the thought of automating your home scare you? The sometimes complicated technology and product choices have probably frightened some people off.

It all started, basically, with X10 - a technology standard for home automation conceived decades ago at a time when household appliances came in those horrible shades of green and yellow and cell phones were bigger than your head. X10 is still around, believe it or not.

The company behind OpenDNS has announced their SysAdmin Awards, ahead of the upcoming annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. Sysadmins (systems administrators) are responsible for keeping collections of computers running efficiently. That inevitably means dealing with various network issues.

Even in this day of widespread wireless networking, sysadmins at larger organizations must manage network wiring challenges, too. One of the OpenDNS SysAdmin winners, Kris Wessels, received the Neat Freak Award specifically for cabling prowess. Believe me - that's impressive. Especially at schools and corporations, having a good sysadmin is essential to a productive organization, even though the work is often far from glamorous. Be kind to them.

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) will apparently monitor computer networks hooked to critical systems such as those that control the nation's power and transportation grids. Most details of this project remain unknown to the general public, understandably. It's called Perfect Citizen - a name that suggests more than just searching for international terrorists is going on. Until some facts are available, though, I suggest there's nothing here to be alarmed over. Hopefully.

The standards group behind Bluetooth announced that version 4.0 of the standard is now "adopted." Those of you who noticed the Bluetooth 4.0 spec was finalized in December, 2009 may be wondering what this new announcement is all about. In short, it is simply another step by the industry towards making actual Bluetooth 4.0 products available for purchase, which is still several months away.

Bluetooth 4.0 promises to offer lower power short-range networking than previous versions of the technology. This will increase battery life on gadgets that use it. PC Magazine reports that may happen at the end of this year or in early 2011.

If you're trying to network a device that doesn't support DHCP, odds are you'll need to configure it with a static IP address. DHCP is the de facto standard for dynamic addressing on modern networks, yet many Internet Protocol (IP) devices don't support it. The most difficult part of setting a static IP is figuring out which address to use. There's no simple answer that covers all cases.

Apple iPad (April 2010) The thought of seeing a Windows 7 desktop on my Apple iPad is decidedly not cool, but it can be done thanks to the VNC Viewer for iPad. VNC (Virtual Networking Computing) is a comparatively old network technology that has been brought to the new device courtesy of RealVNC, a company started by the original creators of VNC. The VNC Viewer software (that also runs on many other clients besides iPad) connects to a target computer and allows remote control of the host's graphical desktop.

Unlike the Remote Desktop Connection software built into Win7, RealVNC works with non-Windows operating systems. But plenty of other remote control software clients exist for iPad too, including LogMeIn Ignition.

According to BBC reports, allegations against ten Russian spies caught this week in the U.S. include that they used ad hoc Wi-Fi networks to secretly transfer data between them. Law enforcement agents allegedly were able to detect the creation of these networks including the MAC addresses of the computers involved. As if we needed another reason to distrust ad hoc networking, here it is.

Many free log analysis programs for home routers are available for free online. Have you tried any of them? Router log analyzers give you a convenient way to monitor both the inbound and outbound traffic on your network. For example, if a hacker is attempting to break into your router, the analyzer software can help you quickly identify the source and frequency of their attacks.

Popular router analysis programs like Link Logger, Sawmill, and WallWatcher each provide different features and user interface, but all rely on the logging capability built into your router.
