The Open Debate Coalition, an umbrella organization that includes the heads of MoveOn, Wikipedia, Craigslist and other groups, sent a letter today pushing Barack Obama and John McCain to change the rules for the final presidential debate, Politico reports. This week's second presidential debate was widely criticized, with some going so far as to call it the worst ever. Among the Open Debate Coalition's requests is that "that the debate moderator has broad discretion to ask follow-up questions after a candidate"s answer, so the public can be fully informed about specific positions," and that debate questions submitted and selected by the public be posed. "The signers of this letter don"t agree on every political issue," writes the group. "But we do agree that in order for Americans to make the best decision for president, we need open debates that are 'of the people' in the ways described above. You have the power to make that happen, and we ask you to do so." Full letter, via Politico, below.

Back in May, the FCC was to vote on rules for a national free wireless spectrum along the lines of a proposal by M2Z Networks. But rather than handing over 25MHz of spectrum to the Kleiner Perkins-based company, the FCC decided to auction the spectrum off to a company that would dedicate some of the spectrum to free wireless. The winner must reach half the US population in four years and 95% by 2018. On Friday, the agency released a technical report which said that providing wireless over the 2155-2180MHz spectrum would not interfere with T-Mobile existing 3G network. News.com reports that T-Mobile claims the new service would interfere with abutting spectrum it bought last year for $4 billion for...

MobUI, a company founded by former Action Engine employees, has decided to buy the assets of its former employer to create applications and mobile Web experiences on new mobile platforms, such as the iPhone and Android. In August, Action Engine mysteriously laid off its employees and closed its doors, saying it was seeking buyers for its mobile platform, which allowed applications to get ported to multiple platforms, such as BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Java and Brew. Before Action Engine started having issues, John Burry left the company to start MobUI with the mission to help media companies quickly build apps and mobile experiences on even newer platforms, such as the iPhone. Burry, who is MobUI's CEO, said his company grew quickly gaining the two customers in the first two weeks. But Burry said they realized they weren't going to be able to focus on a single platform?that companies who built something for the iPhone would want to expand to other platforms. Burry: "We purchased Action Engine because we had ...
