Mozilla's Weave Prototype Updated
Weave 0.2 has been released today and it supports new data types: cookies, passwords, saved form data and sessions, in addition to bookmarks and browsing history. After installing the extension and restarting Firefox, you need to create an account and enter a key used for encryption.
Unlike Browser Sync, Weave doesn't synchronizes data in real-time. "After the initial data transfer is completed during setup, Weave connects to the server periodically when it accumulates enough changes that need syncing or when enough time has passed since the last sync (at least once every 20 minutes if any data has changed). Weave also syncs when you start Firefox, when you quit it, and when you click on the "Sync Now" button in the Weave menu or the preferences."
It's worth mentioning that browser data sync is just one of the components that will be included in Weave. "As the Web continues to evolve and more of our lives move online, we believe that Web browsers like Firefox can and should do more to broker rich experiences while increasing user control over their data and personal information. Weave is the Mozilla Labs' project to develop a coherent framework and platform for deeply integrating online services with the browser."
Opera users can already synchronize bookmarks and notes using a feature included in the latest version of the browser. If you only need to synchronize your bookmarks, migrate to an online bookmarking service like del.icio.us, Google Bookmarks, or install plug-ins like Foxmarks (Firefox), Zinmko (Firefox / IE), that synchronize bookmarks and provide a web interface where you can access and share your bookmarks.

another way to synchronize bookmarks via google: GMarksReplyDelete
Yes, there are some plug-ins that provide a better interface for Google Bookmarks:ReplyDelete
* Google Toolbar (official, Firefox/IE)
* GMarks (Firefox)
* GBookmarks (Firefox)
* Google Bookmarks Button (Firefox, no Firefox 3 support)

Browser Sync doesn't have to stop working. http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/06/24/google-browser-sync-for-firefox-goes-open-sourceReplyDelete

Missing feature: sync on own spaceReplyDelete
Google Bookmarks Button supports FF3. And the upgraded Weave has some problems with passphreses - account created on WinXP doesn't work on Mac OS X.ReplyDelete
But Weave can synchronize passwords, forms data, cookies, tabs ...ReplyDelete
And yes, Browser Sync has been open sourced, thank to Google, but it seems to late, unless Weave 0.2 features too many bugs.
Hmmm, keep going and this might convince me to switch back from Opera...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 2, 2008 at 7:05 AM
Its great...waiting for web interface to at least view my bookmarks.ReplyDelete
Too bad that (for now) Weave doesn't work on 64bit Linux :/ Or maybe it is just 64bit FF.ReplyDelete

caschy: Actually, it can sync to your own website, as long as you're using WebDAV. Check out the Preferences dialog, notably "Server Location".ReplyDelete
I'm telling you dude, one day Google is going to take over the World.ReplyDelete

Domain Name System (DNS) makes it possible to refer to Internet Protocol (IP) based systems (hosts) by human-friendly names (domain names). Name Resolution is the act of determining the IP address (or addresses) of a given host name.
Benefits of DNS
- Domain names can be logical and easily remembered.
- Should the IP address for a host change, the domain name can still resolve transparently to the user or application.
- Domain names are separated by dots, with the topmost element on the right. Eg: www.yahoo.com . IP addresses have topmost element on the left.
- Each element may be up to 63 characters long. The entire name may be atmost 255 characters long.
- The right most element in a domain name is called the Top-Level Domain (TLD). Referring the above example (www.yahoo.com), TLD is 'com'.
- If a domain name is not shortened, it is called the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For example, briefcase.yahoo.com can be specified by a machine in the yahoo.com domain as either briefcase.yahoo.com (FQDN) or as briefcase.
Host names map to IP addresses in a many-to-many relationship. A host name may have one or more IP addresses. Conversely, an IP address may have multiple host names associated with it.
Hosts that are designed to perform email routing are known as mail exchangers. These machines should have special purpose records in DNS called Mail eXchanger (MX) records. When a SMTP server or mail server, needs to send mail to a remote domain, it does a DNS lookup for the Mail Exchanger (MX) of that remote domain. A domain can and should have multiple mail exchangers. Mail that cannot be sent to one mail exchanger, can instead be delivered to an alternative server, thus providing failsafe redundancy.
Different types of Domain Name Servers
- Root Name server - Each top level domain (such as in,edu,com etc) has one or more root name servers which are responsible for determining where the individual records are held. These servers are fairly static and every machine on the internet has the capability of reaching any of them. A root name server is allocated like just one to three per country. For example, India has only 2 root name servers.
- Authoritative Name Servers - These are the servers that the Root name servers send queries to. These servers hold the actual information on an individual domain. This information is stored in a file called a zone file. Zone files are updated versions of the original HOSTS.TXT file.
- Resolving Name Server - These are the servers that do most of the work when you are trying to get to a machine with a certain host name. Besides being responsible for looking up data, they also temporarily store the data for host names that they have searched out in a cache, which allows them to speed up the resolution for host names that are frequently visited.
A zone keeps the information about the domain database. It does this by maintaining two types of files:
Zone File - It is used to map host names to address, to identify the mail servers, and to provide other domain information.
Reverse Zone File - This file is responsible for mapping IP address to host names, which is exactly the opposite of what the zone file does.
Note: The zone file and the reverse zone file has to be maintained by the user.
Name Server Hierarchy
Master Name Server - Also called primary server. This contains the master copy of data for a zone.
Slave Name Server - Also known as secondary server. This provides a backup to the master name server. All slave servers maintain synchronization with their master name server.
A zone may have multiple slave servers. But there will be only one master name server per zone.
Fig: Step - by - step details of domain name resolution.

I am convinced it is due to our new Rejuvenator shower head as I have not done anything else different. I am so excited to see if I have an eczema free winter and even more so- LIFE!!! We are definitely going to get another one for the kiddies bath.ReplyDelete

Michel Moutot (AFP) – Expected Western strikes on Syria will target the military, intelligence services and possibly sites with symbolic regime links, but will not alter the balance of power in the country, experts say.
The raids, if they go ahead, would be aimed at punishing President Bashar al-Assad's regime and sending him a message rather than wiping out his military capacity and handing the rebels a decisive advantage, they say.
"Specific targets should include the Damascus-area headquarters, barracks and support facilities of the fourth and Republican Guard armoured divisions, two units heavily involved in the bombardment of civilian areas," said Jeffrey White of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy think tank.
"Allied forces should also strike higher-level military and intelligence headquarters and command-and-control facilities associated with military operations around the capital."
The Republican Guard, reputed to be one of the best armed and best trained units in the country, is commanded by the Syrian president's brother, Maher al-Assad. Highly feared, it has special responsibility for defending the capital.
Washington and its allies are pressing for military action against Assad's regime over deadly suspected chemical attacks, despite stern warnings against intervention from key Damascus supporters Russia and Iran.
Analysts expect to see cruise missiles launched from US and allied submarines, ships and possibly warplanes from outside Syria's territorial waters and airspace.
French General Vincent Desportes, former director of the Ecole de Guerre military training academy, told AFP any strikes would be "more symbolic than military".
"It is a question of reestablishing the West's credibility by doing something. The declared 'red line' cannot be crossed to this degree without something being done, otherwise all US credibility would be lost, particularly where Iran is concerned."
"But it should not be too much, because if President Assad dies or if the regime collapses, that would lead to a terrible bloodbath, chaos on a national scale. It would be another strategic failure, the like of what was seen in Libya," he added.
Desportes agreed that any strikes would be brief, with symbolic targets that could include government buildings, military command centres, air force bases and even the presidential palace — as long as it could be ascertained that Assad was not inside.
Strategic leaks from the capitals concerned have already indicated that any strikes will be limited in time and space.
They will not be powerful enough to weaken the state's military capacity and tilt the balance of power in favour of the rebels, analysts say — even if, as White believes, they could "encourage fissures within the regime, increase defections and bolster the armed and political opposition".
Christopher Harmer, a naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said a Tomahawk attack would not have the capacity to eliminate the regime's military or chemical weapons capabilities, "nor cause more than a temporary degradation in regime operations".
"Targets chosen to simply punish the Assad regime will have little impact on the strategic outcome," he said.
The US fleet currently has around 200 Tomahawk missiles on four ships in the Mediterranean, an arsenal that Harmer said would be more than enough to carry out a series of medium-intensity strikes on various targets.
But with the countdown practically in public, and the Western powers clearly stating their intentions, experts believe the missiles are likely to destroy only buildings evacuated days earlier, deserted command posts or runways that can quickly be repaired.
"Targets chosen to simply punish the Assad regime will have little impact on the strategic outcome," Harmer said.

Most of us are getting a good chuckle out of a fringe cult's claim that tomorrow is Judgment Day. It becomes a lot less amusing when you're mom starts planning for the rapture, and tells you it's too bad you won't be coming with her.
The New York Times decided to rain on our blasphemous parade by publishing an article on the families torn apart by the not-actually-impending end times. This week when believers weren't parading in the streets with placards in an effort to deliver their "save the date" in the most inefficient way possible, they were bidding their family members adieu, and mocking them for assuming their Sunday night HBO time is still on. From The Times:
Kino Douglas, 31, a self-described agnostic, said it was hard to be with his sister Stacey, 33, who "doesn't want to talk about anything else."
"I'll say, 'Oh, what are we going to do this summer?' She's going to say, 'The world is going to end on May 21, so I don't know why you're planning for summer,' and then everyone goes, 'Oh, boy,' " he said.
It's a ready-made SNL skit! Except it's real and horrifying. Kino says he's looking forward to Sunday, and not just because he'll almost certainly be alive to see what happens on Game of Thrones. "I'm going to show up at her house so we can have that conversation that's been years in coming," he says.
But the award for most disturbing rapture-related tale goes to the Haddad family. Two years ago Abby Haddad Carson left her job to "sound the trumpet" with her husband. They have three teenagers, but decided to stop saving for college since none of them will live to graduate high school. They dragged the kids from their home in Maryland to proselytize in the streets of New York, which is how they wound up talking to a Times reporter. "My mom has told me directly that I'm not going to get into heaven," said 16-year-old Grace. "At first it was really upsetting, but it's what she honestly believes." 14-year-old Joseph added, "I don't really have any motivation to try to figure out what I want to do anymore, because my main support line, my parents, don't care."
As for Abby Carson, she has "mixed feelings" about her kids being left to face five months of plagues, wars, and famine before the planet blows up in October: "I'm very excited about the Lord's return, but I'm fearful that my children might get left behind. But you have to accept God's will." Well, it's good she's made peace with it. You shouldn't let those pesky fears about your family members' impending demise for interfere with your enjoyment of the fake apocalypse.

Red Bull and the Clippers are back on.
The two will resume marketing immediately and continue a partnership with Clippers star Blake Griffin, the company said.
Red Bull and a dozen other companies suspended sponsorships with the Los Angeles-based NBA team after racist comments made by team owner Donald Sterling were revealed.
Neither said how much the team or Griffin deals are worth. But Griffin holds a lucrative, five-year contract with the team, according to California and sports media reports.
Red Bull said the Clippers would donate 50% of Red Bull's payments to "charitable initiatives" and funnel all profits "exclusively into basketball operations," rather than to Sterling.
The company's decision, announced early Saturday, follows similar moves from two other high-profile sponsors.
On Tuesday, Adidas and Samsung said they were resuming ties with the team, citing NBA sanctions against Sterling announced earlier in the day. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he would ban Sterling from league facilities and games, level a $2.5 million fine -- the maximum under league rules, he said -- and push for a sale of the Clippers.
Related: Clippers sale will bring many bidders, huge payday
"We fully support the league's decision. As a long-term partner of the NBA, we are proud that the Commissioner is taking serious action to ensure prejudice is not tolerated in the game," Adidas said in a statement. Samsung called the Silver announcement "momentous."
But most companies that dropped ties to the Clippers haven't announced they're reestablishing marketing deals.
Those companies include Corona, Kia, Sprint and State Farm. Amtrak said it would make a decision ahead of the next NBA season.
A change in team leadership could make it easier for the sponsors to return. The NBA said it has begun searching for a new CEO to lead the team, and owners of the NBA's other teams are set to consider forcing Sterling to sell the Clippers. That would require support from 22 of the other 29 owners.
And another reason: The Clippers could become increasingly prominent on the NBA scene. On Saturday night, the team moved forward to the semi-final round of the NBA playoffs.

WMO and the World Health Organization (WHO) have agreed on a roadmap to strengthen the provision and use of weather, climate, water and environmental information and services in evaluating human health risks and thereby improve health outcomes. The roadmap was developed by a group of experts from the health, weather and climate sectors representing research, operational, and policy interests.
The Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia (RHMSS), a partner in the WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System (SDS-WAS), has numerically simulated an Australian dust storm event using DREAM dust model. The simulation was part of WMO SDS-WAS initiative to include dust impacts to high latitudes in its research agenda.

Founded in 1854, the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery is the final home of whalers, brewers, cattlemen, a survivor of the Centralia Missouri Massacre, and the brother-in-law of General Mariano Vallejo. Veterans from the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, and World War I rest here.
Although the cemetery doesn't boast any big names, it does contain some interesting stories – and the docents promise more, tailored to Obscura sensibilities:
- John Richards, a very popular black barber, helped resettle slaves freed prior to the Civil War.
- A monument remembers the 75 Santa Rosa victims of the 1906 earthquake.
- "Doctor Dear," Santa Rosa's first female physician, was buried here in 1914.
Docents from the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery Association will be joining us as guides on this special walk organized for the Society by our resident Bay Area tombstone historian, Loren Rhoads, author of Wish You Were Here: Adventures in Cemetery Travel.
A portion of ticket proceeds from this walk will be donated to the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery Association to help them continue their work with this historic cemetery.
- Date: Saturday May 24, noon to 2 p.m.
- Meet at the gate at Franklin and Monroe, 1600 Franklin Avenue, Santa Rosa.
- Tour starts promptly at noon. Please allow time for parking.
- Bring water.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking and dress in layers suitable for the potentially warm weather.
Space is limited. Advance tickets suggested. Walk-up tickets may not be available.

How to Have Firm, Perky Breasts
Hydrotherapy for Firm Breasts
Hydrotherapy uses water to promote health and wellness in the body. A common hydrotherapy practice is to alternate between hot and cold water in a shower. This can increase circulation to the skin by as much as 95%. So how does that help your breasts? Since increased circulation stimulates the production of collagen and elastin - the skin proteins responsible for tone and elasticity - the result is firmer skin and perkier breasts.
The next time you're in the shower, spend a few minutes toning your breasts. Simply rinse your breasts with warm water for 30 seconds and then switch to the coldest water you can stand for 10 seconds. Continue alternating between warm and cold water for several minutes.
The cold water application must be for a shorter duration than the hot. It is also important to end the treatment with cold water. Do not apply water that is hot enough to burn. The hot application should be pleasantly warm.
Exercise for Perky Breasts
The most effective exercises for bust enhancement are those that work your chest muscles. Since the breasts themselves contain no muscles, exercise will not increase breast size. However, toning the pectoral muscles underlying the breasts helps to perk up the breasts by lifting them. Regardless of how old you are, these exercises will keep your breasts uplifted, perky, and sexy
Lie on your stomach on the floor with your hands under you shoulders. Hold your feet shoulder width apart, with your toes tucked under so that you are balancing on the balls of your feet. Contract your abdominals so that your back is parallel to the floor. Hold your head and neck at level with your spine. Inhale as you lower your chest as close to the floor as possible. Exhale when you return to the starting position. If you are not strong enough to do plank push-ups, do them from your knees. When you reach the maximum repetitions from your knees, advance to your toes.
Chest Press
Lie flat on your back on a bench, a balance ball, or the floor. Take a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward. Bend your elbows at the angle of 90º, and hold them out to the sides parallel with your shoulders. Exhale as you stretch your arms toward the ceiling with knuckles facing up. Do not touch the weights together, and do not squeeze your chest at the top of the motion. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
Incline Chest Press
Lie on your back on an incline bench. Take a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward. Bend your elbows at the angle of 90º, and hold them out to the sides parallel with shoulders. Exhale as you stretch your arms toward the ceiling with knuckles facing up. Do not touch the weights together, and do not squeeze your chest at the top of the motion. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
Chest Fly
Lie on your back with a dumbbell in each hand. Your arms should be straight and level with your shoulders. Lift both dumbbells at the same time with the palms facing each other until they come together above your chest.
Perform this bust improvement exercise routine three times weekly with 48-72 hours between each exercise session. For each exercise, perform 1-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions each. When you reach 3 sets of 12 repetitions of an exercise, increase the resistance, not the repetitions. For the chest presses and chest fly, increase the weight of the dumbbell. For the push-ups, elevate the feet on a bench or chair if you can do 3 sets of 12 repetitions on your toes.
Do at least three of the four exercises in each session. If you don't have access to an incline weight bench, you won't be able to do the incline chess press, so you would do the other three every session. If you do have an incline weight bench, you could just do two of the three pressing exercises each session if you prefer, but do the chest fly every session.
Women want to have firm, sexy, perky breasts for a reason. Not only do women feel much better about themselves if they have great-looking cleavage, but they also appear to be more popular among men. If you use hydrotherapy and exercise on a consistent basis, you should see the appearance of your bust improve significantly.
If you have ever felt self-conscious about the size of your breasts, you are not alone. My book Natural Breast Enlargement: The Ultimate Guide to Bigger, Firmer Breasts reveals how you can increase your breast size completely naturally and without expensive, painful surgery.

During the breast massage, why should you avoid the nipple area?
- April 22, 2011 at 5:37 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
It's a waste of time because massaging the nipples won't grown your breasts. Plus, they could get irritated.
- April 23, 2011 at 10:27 AM
read your blog. thanks a million ton for your tips. i m 21. my breasts are undersize and i have started working on my breasts with your suggested massage. i am patient enough for results... however i do have another problem. i have hair growth on and around nipples. is it normal?? i surfed internet and found out that it indicates high levels of testosterone. also i do have hair in lower abdomen, have acne, breasts are undersize and do get angry soon. as the articles on internet say, these are all the symptoms of high levels of testosterone which is dangerous... i m worried. plz suggest me some natural remedy to decrease the levels & get rid of these embarrassing outcomes.
another issue is that my breasts are very far apart. there remains more than an inch gap between breasts even after i wear a bra. consequently i dont have a cleavage line. it is very humiliating in front of friends. is there any way i can get a better shape and a cleavage line???

Read my articles about breast enlargement herbs, which raise estrogen. They msy relieve your symptoms, and you should be using them anyway if you want to increase your breast size.
The placement of your breasts on your chest is already over and done with. However, if they increase in size, they won't look so far apart.
- May 25, 2011 at 12:00 PM
Hi you've said "Do not touch the weights together, and do not squeeze your chest at the top of the motion".
Are there any reasons to why we shoudn't?
- June 2, 2011 at 12:20 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
It's a little safer not to do either. Not touching the weights forces you to move them in a controlled manner, and not squeezing your chest prevents cramping.
- June 2, 2011 at 2:52 PM

I just accidentally came a cross your blog. My beautiful wife has been wanting bigger breasts. After two kids they have decreased and sag a little. She wants implants, but the anastesia somehow effects her heart really bad. So that is not an option. I tell her that her breasts are perfect though it doesn't help how she feels. Sometimes I will go on line, and see if I can find something to do naturally. This blog by far has really made me see that there is still a chance that she could get her wish. The bad thing is she us very impatient. Any suggestions.
- October 23, 2011 at 11:57 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Not for impatience. I have fourteen articles posted about natural breast enlargement, so she can read those and start applying the instructions.

Hi Caitlin,
Do you know of any ways to firm up your breasts and not enlarge them? Or, in my case, make sure they stay firm as I lose weight? Right now I'm a 34H but I'm trying to get down from 34% body fat to about 20% and I'm afraid of ending up with sagging. One product I'm thinking of taking is called "ligament restore" and helps support, well, ligaments. As I understand these are what give your breasts much of their support - along with the fat. Is this enough, or is there anything else you'd recommend? Thanks :-D Great blog btw.
- January 6, 2012 at 8:22 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
This article just told you how.
- January 7, 2012 at 5:59 AM
Your articles are fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to put out all this advice. I'm 21 and only barely fit into a size 32A, and I think that's because I'm too self-conscious to purchase junior bras. XD
Can't wait to start using all these techniques. I had heard of the massaging before and had tried it, but after reading one of your articles found out I was doing SO wrong. Probably made me even smaller.
Thanks again!!
- January 11, 2012 at 11:51 PM

would jogging help increase the firmness as well?

luckily found your blog while surfing & I found it very helpful & informative for myself as I am possessing small breasts due to weakness.One thing I would like to suggest that if u depict these exercise postures in pictures for attaining firm & perky breasts,so it will be highly beneficial for us and it will avoid the risk of committing mistakes while performing these exercises.
Best Regards..
- March 2, 2012 at 8:26 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
These are standard exercises that you can find all over the internet, including YouTube videos.

Large, natural breasts can never be as perky as small breasts.
- April 20, 2012 at 2:30 PM
Hi, I started the breast massage, I've been doing it for almost 2 weeks. A little while after starting, I started seeing Really visible veins all over my breasts..
Is this normal?! I've never had these showing before, so I don't know what to think.
- May 6, 2012 at 11:50 PM
I used to be a chubby lass weighting 18 stone with size G bust I now weigh 11stone n my boobs have hit the ground!

Cheers Sam :0)
- May 7, 2012 at 12:24 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
It may be because your circulation is better from doing the massage.
- May 7, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Hi, I have been doing massages and I was wondering: if I have unbalanced hormones, but am on the pill (so I can't take fenugreek) or anything like that, will massage still help them grow? I am trying to increase up a cup or two.
I think I have a lot of extra testosterone.
- May 7, 2012 at 8:52 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Breast massage should still help, and it's a healthful practice anyway.
- May 8, 2012 at 5:50 AM
Thanks. I aready started and see result in 2 weeks. I'm a LMT and massage really helps and it feels great too!

I'm only fifteen and my breasts are saggy from weight loss. I feel terrible about how they look and it seems like nothing i'm doing is helping (i use a firming cream and i exercise regularly). How soon will this work and how effective is it? Also, if my breasts grow will they look perkier? If they get perkier will they look less far apart?
I've also been told that because i'm young my skin will bounce back and be tight again but it's been almost two years after the weight loss (60 lbs) and almost nothing has happened.
- May 21, 2012 at 9:28 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Be sure that you're doing what this article says to do, not just some random exercises, although you can do those too. Your skin will bounce back because of your age. It bounces back when you're quite a bit older too BTW. They might look less far apart, but they might not. Either way, they'll look better.
- May 27, 2012 at 4:19 PM
Do you knoow how long it takes for results to show?

They will help, but big natural breasts will never look as perky as small breasts.

Just wondering out of curiosity...about the breast massages for increasing your size...has anyone ever told you that it has worked for them? Has it worked for anyone?
And if it has ..by how much?

No, I am not being rude "Anonymous." You have no idea whom you're talking to. I have answered literally thousands of comments and emails about my articles. Let me repeat that: THOUSANDS.

How can I add fennel seeds to my lotion? Can I just crush them up and mix them with a little bit of lotion?
Also is there a certain kind of lotion to avoid or use?
I'm doing the massages ...can't really afford to get the fenugreek stuff..but I do have a bag of fennel seeds....I'm going to try to make tea with them but I read it's more effective if you massage it directly into your breasts.
I can't seem to find any info on how to take the seeds and combine them with lotion though.
- July 12, 2012 at 8:00 PM
What can I do about my breast going to the side when I lay down? Also my right breast is a cup bigger than my left at least that's how it seems. what do you recommend?

hi i have inverted nipples is there anything i can do about it?

I don't know of any way to affect inverted nipples.
- July 14, 2012 at 3:22 PM

Firming your breasts is the only way to help sagging. Try doing more breast massage on the smaller breast to help even their sizes/
- July 14, 2012 at 3:25 PM
I liked your article, but LOVED your intolerance for the fools asking questions already answered by the article itself or by previous commenters asking the SAME questions. Kudos. There should be more people like you across the Internet. -Sara

I am looking to firm and enlarge my breasts using massage, and I was wondering if the hot/cold shower was a "long lasting" effect or if it basically made them perk up because of the cold water for only a few minutes?
Thank you for your free articles !
- July 26, 2012 at 1:36 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
I just wish readers would read the articles (and some of the comments) BEFORE asking questions. When they don't, all I can do is to refer them back to the article. I'm certainly not going to waste my time re-stating what I've already written in the article.

Hydrotherapy is one of the oldest healing methods on earth. If you do it regularly for a long time, it will have a long-term effect. If you only do it occasionally, it won't.
- July 26, 2012 at 12:03 PM
Thank you so so much for providing this gift of knowledge! You are wonderful!!! So, my areolae appear really "puffy," so that they look swollen compared to the breasts and nipples. Because of this, my nipples usually don't show at all. This problem is solved when I am cold or my nipples get hard or "nip" for whatever reason. The problem is worst when it is hot outside. Is there any way I can get my nipples to stand tall more frequently and stop the areolae from looking so puffy and enlarged?
- July 26, 2012 at 11:14 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
You're sort of asking how to keep your nipples hard all the time or more frequently. The appearance of your areolae is just how your breasts are. I don't know of any way to change that.

is it okay to do the pushups before you go to bed and exactly how many should you do?
- July 27, 2012 at 5:55 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Do as many as you can with good form. Touch your chest to the floor and come all the way up on each repetition. Good form and full range of motion are more important than a specific number.

- August 12, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Question.....once you reach your desired size....can you stop doing the massages or do you have to keep doing them. Because I noticed that when I stopped for a little bit they went back to their normal size.
Also when you started this what was your cup size and how much did they grow?
- August 21, 2012 at 1:15 PM
thanks.i'll try them but i want to ask if therei s any known side effect of the method

You can always overdo exercise, I suppose, but otherwise, no.
- August 22, 2012 at 2:48 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
I think you need to maintain your new size for about a year before it's more or less permanent. Once you reach the desired size, you can cut back to the minimums.

The only way of making breast smaller that I know of is by doing the breast massage in the opposite direction.

Is it possible that the breasts will become smaller after performing these exercises?

Lavender oil is the most recommended home remedy for the treatment of stretch marks. When applied three times a day to the affected area, lavender oil induces the growth of new skin tissues to make the stretch marks gradually fade away.

Hi Caitlin, I DID read the full article and all the comments and replies about them...but I am 13yrs old with a size of 38C. I really hate my breast. My boyfriend seems fine with how I am, but I feel uncomfortable when I run or jump. I've even heard people i don't even know tell me that my breast are saggy! Is there any way to reduce the size of my breast a quicker way and make them firm without massages, workouts, or any of that stuff? Like is there a FASTER and EASIER way to do this for me? And I have asma, would it be bad to do this?
Thanks! :)

First of all i would like to thank you from the deep of my heart because all these advices helped me a lot!
Girls! Try the hydrotherapy once per day.. it really works!!!!!!! I have tried gym, creams everything.. but the results of hydrotherapy are simply amazing!
I would also recommend the swimming. It worked on me.
One question.. I saw many articles about herbals that work on breast enhancement. Could you please tell me some herbals that make breasts firmer??
thank you for all
sorry for my english.. kisses from Hellas!

Yams are full of estrogen, nom them lots and you'll be good, too
- November 26, 2012 at 6:23 AM
For the hydrotherapy, could you specify what the minimum for "several" minutes is? So far I've been doing it for 5-7mins.
(Sorry if you answered & I didnt see)

You can use any oil or lotion for breast massage.

Several could mean 5-7 minutes, more or less.

Hi there Caitlin. My issue is in the last year I have lost 70lbs. My breasts are saggy and with stretch marks. I have gone from a size I to a size C. I have been trying hydro water therapy trick and messaging and I feel it is working. It is the stretch marks I am embarrassed about. I will try the lavender oil but I also have access sink. Are there any remedies for this? Thank you for your advice Caitlin!

Hi, I'm 36 and while sagging is not a huge issue, I recently switched birth control method that made one breast grow a half cup size. So one is now bigger and perkier than the other. I think I'll try massage and exercise on one breast. Do you know if that will be effective for evening things out? Or should I try doing the same for both but 2x as much on the smaller side?
- December 28, 2012 at 5:58 PM
caitlin... and girls..
Curry is a spice duh. And works amazing!!... even more so in conjunction with fengreek seed... applied in almost every meal... I excersized and used only curry about a bottle of spice a week and WOW... I seen HUGE differences...
Stress is a no no/ get ur sleep/ excersize and eat regularly..... and what I did 2 what Caitlin is telling us 2 do.... WOW... I have yet 2 see... and I Will do B4 an after.... I can't wait!! I am sure I will see much more vast difference.
Patience is needed like Caitlin says cus even in my muscle building it takes being faithful for it 2 last... and even then requires upkeep... maybe less often but definitley our bodies require upkeep. Whatever u do don't stress/get ur sleep/and eat don't ever starve urself. Don't be around screaming negative people it feels as though there noise vibrations eat at my cells and lessen them to where there is no boobies!! Hah... not funny.
Caitlin: I am also interested in taking up herbology gardening and such... on mountain rose website you meantioned... what school do you like? Which school did you go to? Heard about? :) I'm planning on massage therapy also. thanks and God Bless!! Xo
Also, it seems we got a lot of young girls on here which is good but I remember back then I couldn't abide by instructions well/ neither did I listen 2 my parents when escpecially about the importance of sleep... its youth but you girls don't need 2 go with the current...
LISTEN... be patient and believe
OBEY rules of God(god doesn't mean religion... it means truth) and land
Honouring your parents is a healthy choice even selfishly... it will open your eyes
Believe me I know how its like being young I totally felt blameless, but a lot of it had to do with me being the "feeling" type....... sometimes yes there is such a thing as a "right" and a "wrong"
Love you you girls and hope you could grasp the meaning ... xox
- December 29, 2012 at 4:12 AM
Hi! I'm 13, and only a 28A!! Will these solutions work for someone so young? BTW, don't bother answering the questions of the idiots out there. Just answer the questions that aren't answered in the article. The other people don't matter. Don't let them get to you. :)
- December 30, 2012 at 10:23 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
You still have some maturing to do, so I would just do breast massage for a couple of years. Then you can add herbs if you need to.
The idiots don't actually get to me, but their sense of entitlement and hatefulness if their demands aren't met do astound me. I wasn't raised that way.
- December 31, 2012 at 7:35 AM

Try just massaging the smaller breast.

Hi,just out of curiosity, do breasts really sag when they are...er..whats the proper term?..massaged?
you get the point.
- January 4, 2013 at 3:02 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Massage usually makes breasts perkier, not more saggy.
- January 5, 2013 at 4:54 PM
May I ask why you prefer American and European healing methods opposed to Ayurvedic? I'm curious because I'm interested in the field. Thanks for taking your time to answer.
- January 7, 2013 at 5:12 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
American and European remedies are more available in the U.S. and are designed for Western bodies.
- January 7, 2013 at 6:37 AM
Thank you for the wonderful advice Caitlin. I already knew of the exercises and also an isometric one, the massaging and hydro are new concepts to me. I am a 40 year old mother of 4 (3 of which were breast fed) with 36DD and a small waist and hips. For 12 years I was a tile setter and I had beautiful perky breasts and toned arms, abs, and back from spreading thin set and grouting every day. I stopped working in that field about 5 years ago and the last 3 years I have been losing the fight on keeping my pretty breasts. Mostly due to insperation on exercising. I look forward to trying the rest of your ideas also to see if I can "stick" with those.

But I have another concern that I hope you can helpl me too, after breastfeeding (I weaned 2 1/2 years ago) I have saggy nipples!!! This is terrible!! Is there any natural solution I can try??? I don't want to do nipple reconstruction surgery. Please help :(

Hello caitlin! Can you tell us exactly what your routine was and what size you started out with and ended up having. Aldo how long did it take you to gain the size you wanted?

on anonymous man who wants to hve breast enlargement..this may not be a natural way but popping hormonal pills usually does the work..it increases ur estrogen level..a female hormone the reason for breast enlargement/development in a woman..and decreasing your male hormone..making hair in ur arms and legs grow thin and fine not lyk those what guys have..i hv a friend who did this stuff s/he now looks like a woman with the excption of his 'dongs' because s/he stil has it..but i stil suggest u consult first a doctor before trying this..because i think its kinda dangerous..
- February 28, 2013 at 12:25 PM
Hi I started the hydro therapy today as well as the massaging. I want to start the supplements tomorrow and was curious if I plan on using fenugreek extract & wild yam for massaging then should I take fenugreek supplements orally or take saw palmetto? I know I can switch it up in the future but I just wanted your opinion as to what you think would be best to start off with.

You are so nice dear. i am 21, just had a baby and now my breast r longer and way more saggy, i feel so depressed now but i will try out ur advice. i read your other comments and people need to appreciate you more rather than complain and all.
- April 5, 2013 at 1:12 AM
Do these tips also apply to people who aren't necessarily looking to enhance their breast size (I'm a small B-cup and I'm perfectly happy with my size and don't wish to make them larger), but would just like to make them more shapely and appealing?

thanks again

Hi..thanks for this article.. I have a big problem which is my boobs are not in the same size.. the left side are bigger.. and.. when it bigger, it become sagging.. and my right side still firm.. I'm not married yet.. I'm just 20 years old.. any idea how to take care of them? thanks.. :)
- May 24, 2013 at 5:26 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
You could try massaging only the smaller breast.
- May 24, 2013 at 5:54 AM
thanks.. :) but If I massage the right one,how about the left side?because I wanna make the left side firm too.. any massage that can help both?thank.. :)
- May 26, 2013 at 7:35 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Massaging only the smaller breasts is intended to help it grow to match the larger one.

Hi! I have been working out since March and have been carefully watching my calorie intake. So far I have lost 33 lbs but want to get firmer breasts so I have just started your program. I will update you in a few weeks. Thank you so much!!!! Here's to good health!!
- June 3, 2013 at 1:11 PM
hey i got married 5 years back that time my breast was very small but after my husband's touch (pressing) it started increasing but then too it was very small but now when i notice my breast has shrunk back and has become saggy also...I'm really very depressed...any suggestions
will this massage help me also???
- June 4, 2013 at 2:38 AM
can u do it with out weights or do u really need them im only 23 and i have saggy boob.

You can just do push-ups, but vary your grips from regular to wide to close in different sets.
- June 4, 2013 at 2:21 PM
hey i have started doing this massage but my husband also presses my boobs very very hard so will that help or should i ask him not to that...i can bear the pain only if it enlarges my breast.
- June 5, 2013 at 2:53 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Tell him to quit. It doesn't help.
- June 5, 2013 at 6:36 AM
Hey!! I read online that fenugreek massage is also done for firming sagging breasts.....does that work?? If it works, does it also mean breasts will become bigger at the same time because you mentioned in one your articles that it is a natural remedy for breast enlargement?
- June 12, 2013 at 5:06 PM

Massage helps firm breasts; fenugreek makes them grow.

- June 19, 2013 at 4:58 PM
Hi Caitlin
Thank you for the useful information. I will definitely do the exercises and hydrotherapy you mention for breast firmness as I have recently lost body fat and my breasts are less firm. I am 40 and my breast size has decreased from a 32 G to a 32 F cup. I have always wanted to have smaller boobs but of course I would still love them to be firm! I was wondering about the breast massage - ideally my breasts would be either the same size and firmer or both a little smaller and firmer but logic tells me that increasing their size would be the main way to increase firmness. Would you recommend the breast massage for increasing or decreasing breast size for me (assuming that such things are possible when you are 40!), alongside the exercise and water?
Thank you for your time.
- July 1, 2013 at 12:22 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Massaging for size increase would be better, I think.
- July 1, 2013 at 2:36 PM
Thank you; I will
Best wishes
- July 2, 2013 at 6:14 AM
Hi Caitlin! I have been massaging my breasts the way you instructed in your articles for about 5 months. At first I applied just fenugreek extract topically prior to my massages and then introduced saw palmetto extract about 2 months ago, so I have been applying them both before I massage. I average about 200 circulations twice a day and follow up with a heating pad for 10min. Also of note, I only apply the extracts at night due to them being very strong in scent and even then will skip a few nights a week. I have noticed a slight enlargement of my breasts, if any, but am wondering if you have any advice as to what else I can do. I tried to take fenugreek capsules by mouth in the beginning, but they made me break out in horrible cystic acne so I stopped. Thanks for any extra help and thank you for all of your work! :)
- July 9, 2013 at 2:49 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Just review that you're following directions, and you might also at this time switch to different herbs than the ones you're tried.
- July 14, 2013 at 2:47 PM
I have a 36 D and I was wondering if I do this will it help them get smaller in a way?
- July 14, 2013 at 11:33 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
If you do the breast massage in the opposite direction that I recommend, your breasts should reduce in size.
- July 15, 2013 at 8:25 AM
Hi, I have few questions
-will running to loose weight will also reduce my breast size?
-If I do loose my breast size while exercising what can I do to not loose so much from my breast?
-Should I wear sports bra or just regular bra is ok while exercising?
- August 12, 2013 at 11:43 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
You will only reduce your breasts noticeably if you lose a lot of weight. Sports bras are more comfortable for running.
- August 13, 2013 at 2:41 PM
Nipple shields for breastfeeding might help.
- August 15, 2013 at 6:39 PM
Hey Caitlin, Thanks for your tips! I have relatively large breasts, so increasing the size doesn't bother me. However, I was concerned about my breasts sagging, I am only in my twenties and really don't want them to stay this way. I have never really wore sports bras when exercising (I have changed that just recently) and I guess fluctuations in weight have affected the firmness/perkiness. I guess what I'm asking is...will they go back to the way they were if i follow these exercises, or is this damage permanent?
- August 21, 2013 at 1:06 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
They probably won't go back to the way they were when you were fifteen, but they will improve.
- August 21, 2013 at 6:03 PM
Hi! I have a very pressing question for you.
If you take breast-enhancement herbs/tea/oils, and it increases the estrogen-level in your body, wouldn't that increase the risk of getting breast cancer? (Because high estrogen-levels do so).
The reason I am asking is because I am afraid of increasing my risk for getting breast cancer, as it runs in the family.
Love your blog! x
- September 3, 2013 at 6:02 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Cancer is a little more complicated than than, and so are natural breast enlargement herbs. Raising estrogen is not all they do. Cancer also takes years to develop. However, if you think you are at high risk, make your decision accordingly.
- September 4, 2013 at 5:25 AM
Inverted nipples can be dealt with, but that's a whole different issue.
Some women feel uncomfortable massaging their own breasts; do you have any suggestion for that? By extension, they mostly feel uncomfortable getting others to do for them too, obviously.
- October 1, 2013 at 1:19 AM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
Women who feel uncomfortable massaging their own breasts need to get over it. Feeling uncomfortable about touching a part of your own body is unjustifiable.
- October 1, 2013 at 6:44 AM
thanks alot for ur wonderful tips.And i am following ur tips.
i am size 36c and have saggy boobs. i want to ask u that should i increase or decrease my breast size to get rid of saggy boobs? i also want to know if i take fenugreek or fennel supplements will they help me to reduce sagginess by making them fuller?
pls help me..
- October 5, 2013 at 9:33 AM

Yes, taking herbs will reduce sagging by making your breasts fuller. Also, follow the other suggestions in this article.

My breast are more than one inch apart. All my fat tissue is at the bottom of my boob as if they are sagging but i have no strech marks. I am tired of small boobs but every time i try something i see on the web it doesn't EVER work. I see push-ups chess press alot but they never help. I am trying to get at least to a 38 in a b but i am in a 30 a within about 3 weeks. I need tips that actually work fast. Please help!!

Hi catlin, i was about to start with the massage and taking fenugreek seeds.. i wanted to know if i am not gtng fenugreek tablets, what quantity of fenugreek seeds should i take each time.. and are there any issues if i take more quantity of fenugreek seeds? Is it harmful in any way?
also is the massage with fenugreek powder more effective than swallowing fenugreek seeds. Like u said un the article.
Thanx in advance! :)
- November 15, 2013 at 12:48 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
A capsule equals about half a teaspoon. Fenugreek is widely used as a spice in cooking and as a medicinal herb, but anything can affect somebody negatively. Both consuming and massaging fenugreek are effective. It depends on which you prefer.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can do the push-ups from your knees if necessary, and you can use as light a weight as you wish for the chest presses and flyes.

Hi Caitlin......came across your article while searching on how to make breasts perky again. Thanks for the information I think I will try a few of them......I do have one problem that even though while searching on the net for I can never seem to find a satisfactory answer. Do you know of any good websites for reasonable priced ranged pretty colored bras for DD women? I am a double dd and the only colors I find are tan white or black and tan is hard even to get. Only place I can get bras my size are at Wal-Mart otherwise then I have to drive about 50 miles to get to Victoria's secret. Problem is Victoria's secret is a little bit over priced to get a good supportive bra while wal mart does occasionally carry my size but even when they do I can only get about one or two bras of the three colors mentioned above and they cheaply made the they wear out fast and dont have the support I need. So its but a bra for forty bucks (and thats usually as cheap as I can get from vs) or buy unsupportable cheap bras. In the end by the time I get to buy more I have to throw out my olds ones no matter where they are from.

Hi Caitlin..I have been massaging my breast and taking Fenugreek for about 2 weeks now and I am starting to feel tingling and itching and soreness ( just mild). Do this mean that im doing the correct thing and does this mean that results are starting to happen
- February 26, 2014 at 7:30 PM
- Caitlin MacKenna said...
No, it's probably a reaction from the massage. I don't think you can feel your breasts growing.
- February 27, 2014 at 9:57 AM
Would it be to much for my body to use the almond,ylang ylang and geranium oils and drink that fenugreek tea all at once?

Hi Caitlin! Thank you for all the time you have invested into these articles. I have a question about the breast massage- does is matter how fast you do it? Would that have an impact on breast growth? For instance, if each circle only lasting 1 second as opposed to 2. Also, I've been using organic EVOO or organic flax oil for my massages, but have been breaking out on my chest and in between my breasts because of it. Do you have any recommendations on something else I can use that might not be so..clogging, for lack of a better word? Thank you!

A look at the rabies vaccination rates in Texas before and after triennial vaccination was allowed.
When the Texas Board of Health modified the Texas Administrative Code in 2003 to allow for triennial rabies vaccination of domestic cats and dogs, members of the veterinary community voiced serious animal health concerns. Veterinary care providers and the Texas Veterinary Medical Board were publically opposed to the change, fearing that pet owners would be confused by the new guidelines and may simply forget to vaccinate their cats and dogs. The Texas Board of Health had their own public health concerns and had not made the changes lightly. Board members had examined the results of an extended rabies vaccination interval in other states, and the vaccination rates in those states appeared to be unaffected by the change.
To determine the consequences of introducing triennial vaccination on rabies vaccination rates in Texas, an observational study was conducted using data obtained from the Texas Department of Health's Rabies Incident Report database. The use of this data provided a random sample of animals along with their current rabies vaccination status.
Note that the Texas state code requires animals to be vaccinated with a United States Department of Agriculture-approved vaccine according to all label recommendations, including recommendations regarding vaccine interval.
Records from four years before (1999 to 2002) and four years after (2004 to 2007) the triennial rabies vaccination allowance were collected and compared. This included more than 7,000 dogs and 1,000 cats. Since the Texas Administrative Code requires that cats and dogs receive an initial rabies vaccine by 4 months of age and an initial booster vaccination within one year, animals under the age of 16 months were also evaluated separately to examine the vaccination rates of those animals that would still fall under an annual vaccine schedule compared with those that would have no longer required an annual booster. Data for hybrid animals and animals less than 4 months of age were excluded from the study since these animals are not required to be vaccinated for rabies under the Texas code.
The rabies vaccination rate for domestic dogs over the four years before the rule change (1999 to 2002) was 46%. Over that time, the year-to-year rates varied from 43% to 51%. For cats over the same time period, the vaccination rate varied more significantly from 12% to 28%, averaging 18% over the four-year period.
From 2004 to 2007, the period after the allowance of triennial rabies vaccination, the percentage of currently vaccinated domestic dogs jumped to 56%, with the year-to-year rates showing little variation: 55% to 58%. In cats over this same time period, the vaccination rates increased to 30%. The year-to-year rates remained more variable than that seen for dogs, ranging from 17% to 48%.
When the age-group analysis was performed to remove the inequality of vaccination interval requirements, it was obvious that the triennial vaccine interval did not have the negative effects on vaccination rates that many had expected. From 1999 to 2002, 49% of domestic dogs 16 months or older were vaccinated, while from 2004 to 2007, 60% of the dogs were vaccinated. The results for cats were similar, with a 20% vaccination rate before the triennial allowance and a 32% vaccination rate after the change.
When states or territories weigh the public health safety concerns of adopting similar requirement changes, the results of this Texas study should be considered. The hypothesized decrease in rabies vaccination rates after the introduction of a triennial vaccine interval in Texas were not realized. In fact, vaccination rates appear to have improved across the board after the code change. Even among age groups in which the annual vaccination requirement was preserved, vaccination rates increased.
Since the data collected for this study involved a random selection of animals, the study findings may not be representative of the general population, and the author encourages other states and territories that allow the use of triennial rabies vaccination to conduct further studies to better characterize the effects of the extended vaccine interval on overall rabies vaccination compliance. Further investigation analyzing dog and cat owner behavior as a factor in rabies vaccination rates is also warranted.

text: Federal regulators yesterday voted unanimously to initiate a proceeding that could substantially increase the capacity of free, public Wi-Fi networks, boosting speeds and easing congestion in mobile broadband hotspots such as airports and convention centers.The notice of proposed rulemaking approved by the Federal Communications Commission could free up as much as 195 MHz of unlicensed spectrum to come online, amounting to a 35 percent increase in Wi-Fi capacity, what commission officials described as the largest single addition since 2003."Wi-Fi congestion is a very real and growing problem. We see it in our daily lives," FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said at the commission's monthly meeting. "This proceeding is about nurturing existing Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi as we know it. We all know how much value it's adding every day to our lives and the economy. We know that we are facing spectrum congestion issues when it comes to Wi-Fi, and so we know that we have to do something about it."In addition to the Wi-Fi rulemaking proceeding, the FCC also approved an order establishing new rules for consumer and industrial wireless signal boosters, aiming to enhance coverage in rural areas and urban environments, such as a subway system, while safeguarding against interference to other traffic on the network.The FCC has secured commitments from the four nationwide wireless providers along with numerous local and regional carriers to permit the use of signal boosters that adhere to the new rules on their networks."This report and order represents a significant step forward in the commission's efforts to promote deployment of mobile voice and broadband services, especially in areas with little or no wireless coverage," said Ruth Milkman, chief of the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.The FCC's action on the Wi-Fi rulemaking comes in response to the surging use of smartphones, tablets and other data-hungry wireless devices that have been taxing wireless networks, prompting providers increasingly to offload their traffic onto Wi-Fi systems. In a study published last September, networking giant Cisco projected that mobile traffic would spike 26-fold from 2010 through 2015, three times the rate of increase forecasted for fixed IP networks.Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel called Wi-Fi a "critical pathway for Internet connectivity," and emphasized the importance of freeing up spectrum in the 5 MHz band to relieve the strain on current networks operating in the 2.4 GHz band."Although the 2.4 GHz band continues to serve us well, it is growing mighty crowded," she said.Since taking the reins at the FCC in 2009, Chairman Genachowski has made mobile broadband a signature priority at the commission. In the time since, the agency has taken numerous actions to free up more spectrum to build out the capacity of wireless networks. Most significantly, the FCC has begun to draft the rules for a series of auctions that will reallocate spectrum from TV broadcasters to wireless carriers.The same bill that authorized the FCC to conduct the so-called incentive auctions also directed the agency to expand the availability and use of unlicensed spectrum, which advocates say is an essential test bed for novel technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth."Good spectrum requires both licensed and unlicensed services across multiple spectrum bands," Rosenworcel said.Wednesday's action marks the first formal step in what could be a lengthy process of expanding Wi-Fi availability. Much of the spectrum in question is currently occupied by agencies of the federal government, which means that the FCC will have to coordinate with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to ensure that new unlicensed Wi-Fi networks don't interfere with drones or other federal applications that operate in the spectrum band.Kenneth Corbin is a Washington, D.C.-based writer who covers government and regulatory issues for CIO.com.
