For the bright future of broadband internet facilities in the USA, the FCC has established  the National Broadband plan but we are screwed. The Federal Communications Commission announced  National Broadband Plan last week, their aim is to  provide universal, affordable 100 megabits per second broadband internet service to 100 million households at reasonable rates  by 2020. No doubt they have made serious efforts  including very important tasks  towards  opening space in the broadcast spectrum but they still  have not access the problem creating source .You know very well that  without increasing  competition, broadband service in the United States will flop and throw USA behind the developed countries.

The main fault of FCC plan is lack of competition because without healthy competition, it is very difficult to push down prices. The plan is made up to understand the necessities of only 15 percent of homes who will have a choice to choose service provider and the remaining 85 percent of homes have no choice at all .

The U.S.A has the highest broadband prices among advanced nations, while  in other countries like Japan and France the prices of broadband internet services are very low. Again, it is the question of competition . So why they are going to impose such a fool plan.  The answer is because the U.S. government has no backbone and ruins its own ideas.

The only hope of USA peoples is Google which is a upcoming internet giant. Google wants to put 1 gigabit-per-second connections in people’s homes in near future. Google is taking initiative on a very small  scale (500,000 homes vs. 100 million) but  if the initial response is positive, Google will  become a much bigger player in this space than they forecast right now.

If Google, one of the largest companies in this country, only believes they can afford to hook up 50,000 to 500,000 homes with their plan, how is any other company expected to compete with the incumbent players?

During the browsing, I found and interesting website and thought to share it with the readers. Freerice.com is a website where; for each word that you get right answer, they’ll donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Program to the hungry people.You get to feed the hungry people free of cost along with the improvements in your vocabulary. After visiting the site I have committed myself to get at least 2000 grains daily. 2000 grains might not be a good number for a hungry person but at least it makes the difference.

Basically freerice.com has two goals:

• Engage people in playing a simple game of English vocabulary to everyone for free.
• Help the end world hunger by providing free rice to hungry people.

I think they are working for a very good cause and we should participate in this social cause. You can spend all your free or spare time on this site.

To get maximum grains, I recommend purposely failing the first 4 words while answering the correct meaning. This puts your level of difficulty at zero, so the first lot of words you get are terribly easy, so you won’t have to hesitate to get the right answer.

So, What are you waiting for? Go and send you FREE donations!

Google Launches OpenSocial to Spread Social Applications Across the Web. OpenSocial — a set of common APIs for building social applications across the web — for developers of social applications and websites that want to add social features.

OpenSocial will unleash more powerful and pervasive social capabilities for the web, empowering developers to build far-reaching applications that users can enjoy regardless of the websites, web applications, or social networks they use. The release of OpenSocial marks the first time that multiple social networks have been made accessible under a common API to make development and distribution easier and more efficient for developers.

The proliferation of unique APIs across dozens of social websites is forcing developers to choose which ones to write applications for – and then spend their time writing separately for each. OpenSocial gives developers of social applications a single set of APIs to learn for their application to run on any OpenSocial-enabled website. By providing these simple, standards-based technologies, OpenSocial will speed innovation and bring more social features to more places across the web. Users win too: they get more interesting, engaging, or useful features faster.

Three APIs available now

The OpenSocial APIs give developers access to the data needed to build social applications: access to a user’s profile, their friends, and the ability to let their friends know that activities have taken place. OpenSocial resources for developers and websites are available now at code.google.com/apis/opensocial.

Developers will have access to:
- Three JavaScript and Gdata APIs to access social functions
- A live developer sandbox on Orkut at sandbox.orkut.com

Websites will have access to:
- A tool to help OpenSocial-enable their websites
- A support forum for communicating with Google and other websites
