...world, and we here in Europe are with you in the U.S. The suffering in the wake of Katrina will not have been in vain if it helps bring Americans and the Bush Administration to their senses about climate change. The U.S. should either ratify the Kyoto Protocol or propose an equally effective alternative. Promoting technological innovation to reduce climate change without reducing greenhouse-gas emissions will not eliminate the risk of more Katrinas. When bankruptcy threatens, one does not simply study how to cut expenses; one actually cuts expenses. Besides, there is no better incentive for technological innovation than...

The lines between Internet service and phone service are blurring, and just as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has shaken up the fixed-line phone business, it is now poised to disrupt the mobile business. At stake is a slice of the $550 billion in voice revenue that London research firm Informa Telecoms & Media says mobile operators will generate in 2010. The revelation in August that Google...
