Telefonica announcing 3G iPhone, or 2G iPhone for Latin America, or nothing at MWC {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 5th 2008 10:01PM And there is a reason for not having EDGE in Spain: because it's old and outdated. From GPRS, Spain directly passed to 3.5G and HSDPA.
The existing outdated GPRS-compatible network in Spain is very easily adaptable to EDGE (primarily because there are very slight differences between the two of them).
Telefonica has been waiting for iPhone 3G, which is the reason of the delay. In a country where almost every single cellphone is already 3G or HSDPA, it would be nonsense to launch a product that works with old networks.
Welcome To The DMOZ Blog {DMOZ Blog}
Sep 25th 2007 7:16PM First of all, congratulations for the new blog. I am glad that you have decided a new approach to visitors and webmasters.
DMOZ is a respect directory, of course, but as every website in the world, it requires some changes to adapt to the new tendencies. Just some small suggestions: the navigation through the different categories and sub-categories is not intuitive and sometimes archaic, it definitely needs a face-lift; and the category of "World" does not fit in a web directory nowadays anymore, instead, there should be a portal for each language/region (If I am not mistaken, DMOZ is not just a U.S. directory, right?).
If we also get into the matter of the admission of websites, I think it should be much more friendly. The times of admission are too long and the webmaster should receive e-mails regarding to the status of the submission of the website. If the website is not accepted, he/she should receive a message with the complete reasons of that decision.
You guys have a great directory, but remember that for it to be an "open directory", needs to be completely open, and in that matter you still have a way to run.
