Product description
Halperin's subject is the erotics of male culture in ancient Greece. Arguing that the modern concept of "homosexuality" is an inadequate tool for the interpretation of these features of sexual life in antiquity, Halperin offers an alternative account that accords greater prominence to the indigenous terms in which sexual experiences were constituted in the ancient Mediterranean world. Wittily and provocatively written, Halperin's meticulously drawn windows onto ancient sexuality give us a new meaning to the concept of "Greek love."

Review quote
"the single most important contribution to the interpretation of gay history in nearly a decade."-"Outweek "the most significant study of Greek homosexuality since the pioneering work of K.J. Dover...This rich and stimulating book has something to offer to the general reader of Homer and Plato as well as to the specialized theorist of human sexuality. Halperin's research is very much on the cutting edge of classical studies and is sure to be an influence in the field for years to come.."-"Classical World "all very fine essays, characterized by meticulous scholarship and a great deal of fresh insight."-"Journal of the History of Sexuality "Carries out, with careful scholarly arguments and a judicious, wide-ranging use of evidence, the project Foucault mapped out in the second volume of his "History of Sexuality . . . Clear and incisive, these essays are probably the best available introduction for the general reader to the issues raised by Foucault's work."-Martha Nussbaum, "TLS "[Halperin] is a brilliant polemicist . . . it is hard to imagine a more eloquent and well-informed presentation of his point of view. And the passion and dash of his prose serve to remind us that what is in question is not only theory but the beliefs and behaviors of real human beings."-Mark Golden, "Classical Views

As the civil war in Syria intensifies, thousands face the specter of starvation. According to Amnesty International, the withholding of food for civilians is being used as a weapon of war by the Syrian government. At least 128 refugees have died at the besieged Yarmouk Camp in Damascus as a result, according to a new report.

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Syria, starvation, Yarmouk Camp, Damascus
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The report says that thousands
of people still trapped there face a "catastrophic humanitarian crisis."
The organization says that families have been forced to forage for food
in the streets and risk being killed by snipers.
Yarmouk camp, which is estimated to house around 17,000-20,000 Palestinian and Syrian refugees, has seen some of the worst fighting. There were reports of fresh fighting on the edge of the camp last week.
Prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
The camp has been without electricity since April of last year. Most of the hospitals have closed after running out of even the most basic medical supplies.
"Syrian forces are committing war crimes by using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war," Philip Luther, Amnesty's Middle East director says.
"The harrowing accounts of families having to resort to eating cats and dogs, and civilians attacked by snipers as they forage for food, have become all too familiar details of the horror story that has materialized in Yarmouk."
Describing the siege as "collective punishment" of the civilian population, Luther called on the Syrian government to allow humanitarian agencies immediate access to the camp.
Residents told Amnesty that they have not eaten fruit or vegetables for months. At least 60 percent of people in Yarmouk are said to be suffering from malnutrition.
Created as a refuge for Palestinians fleeing the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Yarmouk became a focus of heavy fighting in Damascus in late 2012 when opposition fighters moved in.
The majority of the 180,000 Palestinians at Yarmouk fled and around 20,000 have been trapped inside since government forces cut it off in July last year.
The United Nations Security Council agreed a resolution calling for all parties involved in the conflict to immediately lift sieges, but this has so far failed to lead to an improvement in the situation of besieged civilians.
The U.N. made some aid deliveries but these were halted when a truce between rebels and pro-government Palestinian militants in the camp broke down.

Re: Tanzania/Canada
Thanks Dave,
Thanks for the continued encouragement.
The formula that I am using is a slightly modified fireclay mix which is in the plans (1-portland cement, 1-lime, 1-fireclay, 3-sand). In my testing I tried to use ground down soft clay bricks that are made here for the fire clay and didn't feel comfortable with the results. I thought the use of termite mud gave me better results.
Mind you, the testing proceedure was pretty rudimentary!...making pucks out of different mixtures and roasting them on a grate over a wood fire. Not exactly a proper cure of the mortar before the high heat! I can only hope that I made the right choice. Time will tell!
In any event the termite mud that I get from the brick man is already processed by being sieved, premixed 4 parts termite and one part sand and let to stand for quite some time. By the time I get it the mix is moist and I think it has been passed through the brick making machine(large meet grinder) once and let to stand again under cover for a time. When he makes his final bricks he uses this material. The bricks are fired at about 900 degrees for about a month using smoldering rice husks. They come out amazingly hard.
I have a bucket of this mud which is moist and about as sticky as you can imagine. So what I do is take 5 cups of mud (premixed at 4-mud and 1-sand),
11 cups sieved sand, 4 cups lime, and 3.5 cups cement. That gives me the 3-1-1-1 mix being a touch light on the cement.
I will let you know how things go with the curing.
Sorry about the pictures in these posts. I have registered this site with imageshack and for a while the images were ok and now were back to the frog in the icecube and you have to click on that....at least that is what I'm seeing.
Cheers SteveS.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Pics are good so don't worry. Your works looking very neat especially considering you doing the brick cuts with an angle grinder!!! I recon it will be a little harder now you'll have cut the brick size down as the curve at the top gets "tighter"
Any thoughts on the insulation layer over the dome your using a local plumice mix arn't you?
Thanks for the info on the "Tanzania Home brew mortar". Thought it would give a good mix because after the termites digest the stuff the only thing left is clay and sand any thing of an organic nature is long gone. Nothing will grow in it... thats why it used to make tennis courts in the bush I recon.
The drips of home brew mortar that I found after I had burnt out the ply brace that supported my oven construction were still hard but a bit lighter than just the normally dried mortar lumps. Recon the heat broke down the cement leaving the clay lime and sand. You samples turn out the same way?
Regards Dave
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Yes Dave, I am planning on covering the exterior with the pumice stone cement mixture.
Since I don't have a thick layer of refractory over the bricks (infact the soldier coarse has none) is it okay to just use regular cement sand mixture with the pumice for insulation?
Cheers, SteveS.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Dear StevS
Cant see why not. Don't know how you "mix' will act... might be hard to trowl?
You might have to consider a cage of wire to contain it till it dries but which ever way go for a good 4 inches thick. can't think of anything else which could be of use....
Regards Dave
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Why sand? Just use a 5 to 1 pumice/cement. That's what I did, works fine. just don't add too much water. Make it a dough like consistency and just trowel it on in big chunks. You can make it what ever shape you want.

Re: Tanzania/Canada
Thanks lwood! I will try that for sure. It will be much easier and faster. Just a quick question though. Since I don't have a coating of poor mans mortar around the outside of the soldier coarse do I have to worry about too much heat from the back side of the bricks breaking down the insulation layer?
Cheers SteveS.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
If you add sand to your insulating mix it will make it stronger, but will also reduce its insulating value because you are filing lots of the air spaces between the pumice with the sand. The purpose of the cement is just to hold the pumice in place so you can stucco over it. Degradation of the cement in the insulating layer doesn't matter once it's in place.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Just thought that I would share a picture of the application of the lower level of the pumice cement insulation. Used the 5-1 ratio. Thanks lwood. Seems to be setting up just fine. Hope to finish the dome tomorrow.
Cheers SteveS.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Hello All,
Pumice insulation application is now complete. Thanks for advice on the mix lwood...worked well. Stucco application next...never done this before either. Any advice anyone? How thick?(both rough coat and finish coat or just one coat), what type of finish is better...smooth or textured?...paint?
Any quick advice will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers SteveS.
Re: Tanzania/Canada
Here's a Mugs version of Render
The art is to started at the bottom get some mix on your steel float and Push the mix on Up and the the right or left at angle of 45 or so. you can then smooth it of. Remember Push the mortar on and it will stick. Check the pics out and your finish looked alright on the dome but did you play with the mortar with you hands?... we all do I think.
Don't know whats avaliable in Africa as a seal coat at a pinch you could try a flat plastic paint. I say Flat not Gloss as a gloss shows up all the lumps and bumps.... flat is more forgiving and gives you a softer finish
Hope something here helps
Regards Dave

City crews will be working over the next couple of days to clear several trees that were brought down by Wednesday afternoon's storms, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Capt. David Turno said nearly a dozen trees came down near Marion Street, Barnwell Avenue and Horry Street, and described them as "giant" oak trees.
One tree fell over on a home on Palm Drive, and another damaged some power lines, Turno said.
Magnolia Street, Mead Avenue, Horry Street, Barnwell Avenue and Richland Avenue were partially blocked on Wednesday evening. Turno said crews were working to get the trees cleared from the roadway; however, it could be a couple of days before the trees are cut up and removed completely.
"It'll be days of removing the debris," he said. "They'll still be out for a number of hours clearing trees."
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office reported no damage on Wednesday afternoon.

Hey, I'm Samantha! I'm a registered nurse and I love what I do. I am pretty happy with where I am in my life right now and would like to have someone to share it with....but with that, I could sit here and write all about my life and what I like to do but then we wouldn't have anything to talk about if we were to ever meet in person. When you look at someone in person you can just see a list of what they like just by looking at them, you actually have to have a conversation. So, if you want to know about me, say hi and have a conversation with me :)

text: If you want the perfect evening go here! As we arrived we were slightly scared at no sign of a menu or price list - just a lot of trollys full of ingredients! The waiters were so friendly and made a huge fuss as soon as we entered to get us the perfect bottle of wine (which was 25 euros) however they exaggerated that they were more than happy to bring us a different bottle if we didnt like the first! The waiters then brought over a trolly of ingredients for each course explaining what everything was and how they could cook it for us. Some of the main courses are cooked infront of you, as well as some of the desserts. The desserts may not be as you have ever experienced before, but they are delicious! We topped it off with a traditional German liquor and lemoncello. All in all a perfect evening. 4 courses, 2 glasses of prosecco, a bottle of wine and 2 liquors came to 160 euros however we spent the whole evening here and it was so worth it!

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

SDCC 2011 EXCLUSIVE: 'Crank 3' Coming Soon!
Actor Efren Ramirez gives us the scoop on the project, and how Neveldine and Taylor may be moving on without Jason Statham attached.
Chev Chelios is about to begin his morning with an unexpected wake-up call. Groggy, practically unable to move and with a heart that's barely beating, he hears the voice of thug Ricky Verona, who reveals Chev has been poisoned in his sleep and only has an hour to live. As it turns out, Chev is a hit man who freelances for a major West Coast syndicate. A run of the mill job the night before instead went awry: he let his target slip away in an effort to quit professional killing and start a new life with his girlfriend Eve. Now, Chev must keep moving to stay alive: the only way to prolong the poison from stopping his heart is to keep his adrenaline flowing. As the clock ticks, Chelios cuts a swath through the streets of Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on those who dare stand in his way. He must rescue Eve from danger, stay two steps ahead of his nemeses and search for an antidote to save his own life.

The Lawncrest Community Association recently welcomed the three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for city controller in the May 21 primary.
Two former NFL players and a veteran athlete, coach and umpire were honored two weeks ago at the Oldtimers Bats and Balls Association meeting at Randi's Restaurant & Bar in Bustleton.
Vandals smashed the windows of 21 cars parked outside two Bustleton condominiums and an apartment complex over the weekend, police said.
Five local high school seniors who designed and painted safety-themed panels for a Bustleton firehouse were treated to some pizza, soda, hoagies and thanks.
Philadelphia police and the FBI seek the public's help in identifying the man who robbed a Somerton bank last Wednesday.
The son of a former Philadelphia police commissioner surrendered to authorities on Thursday, eight days after the district attorney's office announced filing criminal charges against him in a house-stealing scheme.
Dec. 31 through Jan. 13
Federal and local authorities are trying to identify a man who robbed a Bustleton bank branch on Thursday morning.
The Take Back Your Neighborhood Civic Association observed a moment of silence for the shooting victims in Newtown, Conn., before welcoming comments from a police official, the city controller, a state representative and a two-time City Council candidate who specializes in economic development.

Edward Norton as the magician Eisenheim and Jessica Biel as Duchess Sophie Von Teschen in "The Illusionist." The underrated Norton is one of the most adaptable and intriguing of all contemporary actors.
- Filed Under
There are those who will describe the stately, classically styled and romantic "The Illusionist" as old-fashioned, but, in reality, there may have never been another movie like it.
A period piece adapted from a short story by Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Millhauser and set in Austria at the turn of the 20th Century, "The Illusionist" conjures up the visual opulence of pre-World War I European melodrama and the ominous mystery of German expressionism. Yet writer-director Neil Burger ("Interview with the Assassin") follows no guide book -- or premonitions -- in creating a world where magic ...

Joseph Wilson Ervin
Joseph Wilson Ervin (March 3, 1901 – December 25, 1945) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina.
Family background, education and early professional life[edit]
He was the younger brother of a more famous politician, Sam Ervin.
Ervin was born in Morganton, Burke County, North Carolina. He attended the public schools, was graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1921 where he was a member of the Dialectic Society and from its law school in 1923, was admitted to the bar in 1923 and commenced practice in Charlotte, North Carolina.
U.S. Congressman[edit]
He was elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-ninth Congress and served from January 3, 1945, until his death in Washington, D.C. on December 25, 1945, nearly a year after entering Congress.
He committed suicide by inhaling gas from a kitchen stove. This was said to be due to the pain from osteomyelitis that he was suffering from.[1] His brother Sam Ervin was elected to finish his term. Joseph Ervin was interred in Forest Hill Cemetery, Morganton, N.C.

We Buy Gold, 7132 Parklane Road Suite G: 2015 10 comments
This We Buy Gold replaced G. G's Artistry In Flowers in 2009 and is now a cellphone store.
When I think of a Cricket phone, I can't help but remember those little chirps the Star Trek Communicators used to make when Kirk or Spock would flip one open. Amazing that a lot of our everyday technology is now better than what The Federation had. Still waiting for the Transporter though..
Bob Andrews Motors, 6167 Saint Andrews Road: 2014 2 comments
I've mentioned the Harden Street and Two Notch locations of Bob Andrews Motors, but I was really unaware that they had this Irmo location on Saint Andrews Road at Seven Oaks Shopping Center.
As is almost mandatory nowdays, the place has become a Title Loan outfit.

Greyhound Station, 2015 Gervais Street: April 2015 (moved) 7 comments
The Greyhound Station on Gervais Street moved earlier this month, and now the buildings on the lot (which included the Chapman Dodge building) have been razed. Unlike the old art deco station downtown on Sumter Street, this one was nothing special, and I'm not sorry to see it gone.
I had a chat with the project manager for the site, and he said the whole block that the station sat on will become apartments.
The new station is at 710 Buckner Road, which is the I-20 frontage road between Monticello Road & US-321.
Building, Harden Street: Spring 2015 (gutted) 4 comments
Can anyone identify who was in this building on Harden Street in between the Waffle House and El Burrito?
I thought I had some pictures of it before it was gutted, but I can't locate them right now.
UPDATE 2 June 2015 -- Some better pictures:
Bob Andrews Motors, 5601 Two Notch Road: Early 2015 4 comments
Well, I was unhappy to notice this real estate sign. As I mentioned when they moved, my parents always felt that Bob Andrews dealt with them more fairly and competently than the dealer, and that's usually where we took our cars while I was growing up. Still, a 90+ year run is pretty good by any standard.
Bouknight Furniture Restoring, 1801 Taylor Street / 1600 Barnwell Street: Early 2000s 10 comments
I've noticed this vacant building at the corner of Taylor & Barnwell Streets a few times over the last year or so. I have gaps in the phonebooks I have here at home, so about all I can say for sure is that Bouknight Furniture Restoring was listed in the February 1997 phonebook, but was gone by the time of the February 2005 book. Given that, I'm calling the date as "Early 2000s".
Just as an aside, it always surprises me that real estate signs don't usually include a URL and property number that would let you bring a property's listing up in a straight-forward manner. In fact, I couldn't find this building at all on the realtor's site.
UPDATE 25 March: Commenter badger mentions that this building is 1801 Taylor Street as well as 1600 Barnwell Street, so I have added that address. This is kind of odd, but seems to be true..
Cruise & Travel VIP / Vista Tanning, 506 Gervais Street: 2014 (moved) 1 comment
As I was driving out to West Columbia the other week, I happened to glance left while I was a the Huger stoplight and noticed a real estate sign in the window of one of the storefronts in the little strip there.
At the time, I couldn't quite make it out and it wasn't until I uploaded the pix from my camera that I coudl see it was a Travel and Tanning center. That's not a combination that I've ever thought of before, but I can see it might make sense to get ready and look good on your vacation..
Behind the real estate sign is a note that they have moved, but I can't quite make out where to.
Anytime Fitness, 111 Sparkleberry Crossing: mid 2014 no comments
This Sparkleberry Crossing gym is listed in the 2014 phonebook, but not the 2015 one, so it must have closed before listings closed. I'm guessing mid-year. One online review notes that it was nice because there were no crowds. That can be a double-edged sword unfortunately.
J & R Press And Fold Service, 3400 Two Notch Road: 1990s(?) 3 comments
With its drive-through awning and clearly visible bricked over curb-window, this building, currently an urban alternative health store, clearly looks like a dry-cleaner. I have no memory of it, but Google suggests it was J & R Press And Fold Service most recently. However, it would not surprise me to find that it was a number of different cleaners going back, possibly, into the 60s.
Tag It Art, 4517 Forest Drive: 9 January 2015 1 comment
Kids' art studio, Tag It Art closed on 9 January 2015. You can see the classy farewell message here.
Forest Village is the little two-strip plaza that I still think of as the home of The Happy Bookseller though The Happy Cafe now occupies that spot.

It's no secret that devices other than phones will fuel huge growth in wireless data traffic over the next few years. As Stacey noted last week, data accounted for more than 30 percent of carriers' per-user revenues in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2010, according to the latest reports from analyst Chetan Sharma. And data traffic will continue to ramp up in the quarters ahead, even as the U.S. mobile market nears the saturation point.
According to Sharma, mobile penetration among U.S. residents over the age of 5 exceeds 100 percent. But that hasn't stopped the growth of data traffic. Why? In part because of the growth of connected devices. Sharma notes that in the first quarter of 2010, both AT&T and Verizon added more connected devices to their networks than postpaid subscribers. He notes: "Given the slow postpaid growth in, operators are fiercely competing in prepaid, enterprise, connected devices, and M2M segments. " That trend will force carriers to find ways to ease congestion as they strengthen the bottom line.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) services, in particular, are a promising opportunity for carriers. The segment promises to boost revenues with minimal network taxation by delivering lightweight data transmissions to everything from e-readers like the Kindle to railroad cars and home appliances. Harbor Research has predicted that shipments of so-called "intelligent devices" will grow from 73 million in 2008 to 430 million in 2013, while total device revenues will exceed $12 billion by 2013.
For software developers and hardware manufacturers, then, the question is how to tap the new market for connected devices. How do you add connectivity to existing products, or create entirely new intelligent devices, and what kind of business model should you employ?
Carriers open their arms to M2M
The first point of contact for those looking to jump into M2M is the carriers themselves. Network operators have long struggled to monetize data services on their own, due in part to an overzealous desire to "own" the customer. That's changing, though, as operators have come to understand the value of supporting devices and services that may not carry their brand. All four tier-one U.S. carriers have built out their M2M offerings over the last two years to help entrepreneurs bring connected gadgets to market — although some have moved more quickly and effectively than others.
Operators have streamlined certification processes and invested substantially to help developers bring products to market as quickly as possible. Verizon Wireless, for instance, has formed nPhase, a joint venture with Qualcomm, and partnered with Vodafone to boost M2M deployments in the U.S. and Europe. Sprint last year formed its "Emerging Solutions Unit," and T-Mobile USA has developed an embedded SIM card to support M2M offerings. For its part, AT&T has opened a lab in Austin, Texas, specifically to test and certify gadgets connected to its network. Such efforts underscore a new eagerness on the part of carriers to work directly with developers and manufacturers to bring connected devices to market as quickly as possible. The process can take as little as six months or as long as 18+ months, depending on factors such as the simplicity of the device and the number of players involved.
Despite the industry wide efforts, not every carrier has achieved the same degree of traction. Sprint gained early success with a deal to power Amazon's Kindle but lost tremendous ground last year when the online retailer instead looked to AT&T to provide connectivity for its e-reader. T-Mobile USA hasn't broken out M2M revenues, but the company claims its business has experienced 105 percent growth every every year since 2006. Verizon Wireless has enjoyed success thanks largely to its relationship with GM's OnStar. And AT&T appears to be setting the pace for the rest of the field, adding 1.1 million connected devices in the first quarter of 2010 to reach a total of 5.8 million.
While the major carriers have moved aggressively to make it easier to deploy M2M devices and services, some other factors must be considered in choosing a carrier partner. Deployments through Verizon or Sprint can be more expensive, due to the costs of licensing CDMA technology, but CDMA can provide superior coverage in rural areas — a key advantage for segments like utility communications, which must cover broad areas. Meanwhile, carriers who have yet to build much of an M2M business may be more flexible on price than their more established counterparts.
A variety of business models
So what kind of business models can entrepreneurs expect to see as they enter the M2M arena? A wide variety of them, actually. That's because M2M is a brand-new space where the ground is constantly moving. While some carriers have moved aggressively to prepare for the new world of M2M – and some have not – the business models are still in an early stage of evolution. And they can vary dramatically from scenario to scenario.
"The one thing that's constant in this space is change, most certainly. I equate it a bit to the wild, wild West," said Macario Namie, senior director of product marketing for Jasper Wireless, which handles M2M for operators such as AT&T, Canada's Rogers Wireless and the Dutch carrier KPN. "You have e-readers, you have connected digital photo frames, you have connected cars, but in all those instances the business models vary wildly. They can vary wildly by company or by product line, because what they can get from the end user in terms of revenue can be very different… I think five years from now we'll see some standardization."
Indeed, the emergence of M2M is forcing carriers to expand beyond traditional monthly subscription models and tinker with alternative strategies. While AT&T and Amazon haven't disclosed details of their Kindle deal, the pay-per-download model gives the carrier an opportunity to take a piece of every transaction. Alternatively, Amazon may have figured the cost of connectivity into the price of the device, keeping download revenues but paying AT&T for use of the network. Before losing the Kindle contract to AT&T, Sprint generated an estimated $2 per month for every one of Amazon's e-readers on the market — not a lot, to be sure, but an attractive figure considering the minimal traffic Kindle users generate.
We're likely to see business models break down according to how devices are being used. A gadget that intermittently receives premium content at irregular intervals — like an e-reader or connected music player — is a natural fit for pay-per-use models where carriers take a share of the purchase price. Scenarios that require more consistent connectivity but consume little bandwidth — a mobile heart monitor, say, or applications that track energy usage — are likely to leverage traditional subscription models at flat rates. And gadgets like an in-car video system, which require lots of bandwidth but might be used infrequently, could incur metered billing or tiered price plans based on how much data is consumed. The key for both operators and their partners will be in developing attractive pricing models and applying the right one to each use case.
And as M2M evolves, it will require carriers and their partners to develop far more sophisticated business models: a mobile healthcare device, for instance, will have to generate revenue not just for the carrier and manufacturer but also the app developer and healthcare provider. So while end users (or health insurance providers) may pay a single bill for such a service, that payment will have to be split three, four or five ways — or more. That scenario also leads to a host of other issues that will need to be hashed out including who is responsible for billing the customer and who provides customer care. Those hurdles are new for the telecom world, and they won't be solved by simple boilerplate solutions.
The space has also given birth to several sub-segments. Jasper Wireless supports operators' M2M customers with technical expertise and hosts M2M.com, a forum for developers, regardless of applications and regardless of carrier. Competitors include Aeris Communications and Kore Telematics. And the nascent industry is beginning to see the rise of aggregators such as Numerex, which effectively functions as a mobile virtual network operator for M2M deployments. Such arrangements allow aggregators to provide services directly to customers, with the operator providing connectivity but playing a lower-profile role.
In these early days, the variations in business models give an edge to both carriers and developers who demonstrate flexibility as they deploy M2M offerings. So while the segment includes its share of deep-pocketed players — including high-profile manufacturers such as Ford, Honeywell and John Deere — a diverse group of innovative smaller players is emerging.
Consumer electronics is perhaps the first segment to begin to get legs in M2M as mobile connectivity comes to established devices such as cameras, e-readers and gaming systems. Automakers have joined the space, too, and have begun shipping vehicles with embedded connectivity systems to provide onboard navigation and entertainment. Utilities are beginning to tinker with devices and services that can ease energy consumption. And wireless healthcare is expected to be a massive industry, although the space will lag behind other segments because of multiple regulatory issues.
Perhaps the most important thing for entrepreneurs to keep in mind when entering M2M is the simple fact that it's a very different business than one-off hardware sales. The world of connected devices and services is one that requires multiple partners and complicated business models. "There are hidden costs these companies don't think about," Namie said. "If you've been shipping unconnected devices for years, you've got a good business model; your DNA is designed for a hardware business. But when you add connectivity, you are in effect becoming a service."
