Minnov8 Gang Podcast - Episode 2
June 28th, 2008 by Steve Borsch
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins, Phil Wilson
Our second podcast where we discuss:
- Qwest laying fiber in Eden Prairie
- Jon Gordon of public radio’s Future Tense is coming to Minnesota, asked via Twitter for independent coffee shops with Wifi, and Minnov8’s Garrick Van Buren put up this invite-only Google map so the community could input them for Jon’s upcoming visit
- Discussed Minnesota Cup; Techcrunch’s Elevator Pitches site; PunditWatch at hubdub; Internet Broadcasting (and the editing of Tim Russert’s Wikipedia page and subsequent firing of an employee over those edits) and this coming Monday’s article on them by the Pioneer Press which will be here; Mashable’s post on Twitter; FriendFeed; Loren Feldman’s teasing of Shel Israel with the “Shel puppet”.
Our intention with this podcast is to talk about relevant innovations occurring in Minnesota and/or those that directly impact our State….and like good geeks we’ll undoubtedly go off on tech tangents periodically.
We’ll be recording one each week (releasing on Saturdays or Sundays) but will be a bit sporadic throughout this summer and recording them in earnest this Fall, with periodic guests appearing on the show. Look for Episode 3 the weekend of July 26th (due to vacations).
Thanks for listening!

Questions about Qwest Fiber in Eden Prairie - probably beefing up their network for their 20/1 offering. They have no plans to do a fiber-to-the-home system and no money to do it if they wanted to.
Lakeville has been considering a publicly owned network - talk to City Hall about their task force that has started investigating the possibilities. If you want something better than cable/dsl - that is a Minnesotan’s best chance.
Finally, WiMAX has been oversold. Consider the physics of offering thousands of people fast connections from a single antenna. What kind of a connection would that antenna have to have to offer 10Mbps to 5,000 people?
