US backing for two-tier internet
The US Justice Department has said that ISPs should be allowed to charge for 
priority traffic. The agency said it was opposed to "network neutrality", the 
idea that all data on the net is treated equally.

Net neutrality hopes hit by DoJ criticism
The US Department of Justice threw its weight behind telecommunications

Guess Who's Afraid of an Open Internet?
Open Internet advocates just received a parting gift from Attorney General 
Alberto Gonzales. In a Thursday filing to the Federal Communications 
Commission, Gonzales' Department of Justice urged the agency to oppose Net 
Neutrality -- the principle that all Internet sites should be treated equally. 
... The DOJ ruling once again proves the point that powerful corporate and 
government gatekeepers are working together to dismantle Internet freedoms and 
impose their will upon the Web.

Ten things that finally killed Net neutrality
If you haven't heard much about Net neutrality this year, you're not alone. It 
went from being the political equivalent of a first-run Broadway show, with 
accompanying street protests and high profile votes in Congress, to a 
third-rate performance with no budget and slumping attendance. So what killed 
Net neutrality? Declan McCullagh gives his list of reasons.

A Possible Missing Piece of Net Neutrality Puzzle: Backbones and Peering? by 
Susan Crawford
I remember being told three years ago that, in general, internet backbone 
issues weren't really a subject for regulatory involvement, and didn't need to 
be. Although the last mile was a problem, the upstream fat-pipe relationships 
weren't - they were all competitive and thriving. Or at least that's what 
people thought. Over the last couple of days I've been looking around trying to 
figure out what the facts are about backbones and peering. It seems that we 
don't even know what we don't know..

Britain faces the broadband test
What must change for Britain's infrastructure to cope with increased internet 
use? Barry Mansfield reports: One of the internet's founding fathers, Vint 
Cerf, predicted last week that television as we know it would soon be dead, and 
that an era of television-on-demand, downloaded directly from the internet, 
would become the norm. It has got internet service providers quaking in their 
boots. If increasing numbers of us start to use our internet connections to 
access feature-rich content, uploading and downloading large files on an 
almost-continuous basis, we will be putting a huge strain on the broadband 
infrastructure of this country. Indeed, the chief executive of internet service 
provider Tiscali recently suggested that broadband subscriptions may have to 
increase in order to support improvements to the network, and that "the 
internet was not set up with a view to distributing video".

TV's iPod moment?
Last month, the British television industry belatedly joined in a ritual that 
has been performed by a variety of industries over the past decade. Pointing 
manically at the rising tide of digital technology, it shook itself awake, and

The occasion was the annual Edinburgh International Television Festival. The 
figure who did most to rouse the assembled producers and executives from their 
slumbers was Vint Cerf, Vice President of Google and Chair of ICANN.

Who launched that attack?
Commentary--Mass e-mailing is no longer hip for hackers. Spam attacks are now 
yesterday’s news and have been replaced with targeted attacks. There are two 
predominant reasons for the switch: First, mass mailing malware is noisy and 
slow; it typically takes considerable time for an e-mail to work its way across 
the Internet. ... Second, using a broad and unqualified e-mail address list may 
generate a few hits for a hacker--but for the most part it delivers lots of 
misses.

US tip-off foiled German bomb plot, reports say
A tip-off from US intelligence helped to foil the terror bomb plot in Germany, 
it emerged yesterday. "The first piece of hard evidence on the bomb plot 
against American military and airbases in Germany was transmitted to the German 
authorities from American intelligence officials," Rolf Tophoven, director of 
the German institute for terrorist research and security policy, said. ... 
According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the US officials gave the Germans 
internet IP addresses - numbers that can help to locate a computer - and parts 
of names.

Germans Say U.S. Officials Helped to Foil Bombing Plot
The discovery of a plot to detonate powerful bombs in Germany this week was a 
result of close cooperation between American and German security officials, 
with intelligence passing back and forth between the two sides, German 
officials said Saturday. American intelligence was instrumental in first 
bringing the foiled plot to the attention of German intelligence and law 
enforcement officials, according to German and American officials. 
Interceptions of e-mail messages and telephone calls between Germany and both 
Pakistan and Turkey raised the initial red flags last year, they said. But the 
Americans also wanted to protect their sources, a German intelligence official 
said, which meant that the earliest warnings were vague.
http://nytimes.com/2007/09/09/world/europe/09germany.html

F.B.I. Data Mining Reached Beyond Initial Targets
The F.B.I. cast a much wider net in its terrorism investigations than it has 
previously acknowledged by relying on telecommunications companies to analyze 
phone-call patterns of the associates of Americans who had come under 
suspicion, according to newly obtained bureau records. The documents indicate 
that the Federal Bureau of Investigation used secret demands for records to 
obtain data not only on individuals it saw as targets but also details on their 
“community of interest” — the network of people that the target was in contact 
with. The bureau stopped the practice early this year in part because of 
broader questions raised about its aggressive use of the records demands, which 
are known as national security letters, officials said.

It's Time for Paul Twomey to Step Down as CEO of ICANN
... In it, Paul Twomey seems to pontificate about what the Internet is/does, 
broadcasting his "vision" for the benefit of the uninformed on Main Street (who 
likely have little clue about what ICANN does or how the Internet works). 
Reading this, I couldn't help but be struck that Paul has so insulated himself 
from the reality of the Internet that he's drwaing on a whisp of 'virtual 
reality' to describe the direction it's going. I began to reflect on Paul 
Twomey's tenure as CEO of ICANN. Has he done that great a job? Could the 
organization have done just as well without him? Should we be satisfied with 
this level of public service? Don't get me wrong, Paul looks and talks the 
part. He has been a fine bureaucrat, but ICANN needs a leader who can do better 
than simply react and fill the vacuum. The organization needs more of a 
MacArthur or a Mulholland and less of a Gerald Ford.

Alternative Dispute Resolution for .eu Domain Names (reg req'd)
... Regardless of this quantitative success, the introduction of .eu was, above 
all, characterized by its extremely formalistic "Sunrise Period," which 
initially was meant to protect trademark owners, but actually allowed domain 
name grabbers to profit from bureaucratic mistakes both in the complex and 
often inconsistent legal framework provided by the European Commission as well 
from simple formal mistakes by the applicants themselves. Moreover, since the 
start of the subsequent "Landrush Period," on April 7, 2006, which now allows 
the registration of .eu domain names to any interested party with legal 
domicile within the European Union, a significant percentage of the 2.4 million 
registrations again were registered by professional cyber-squatters. As a 
result, many trademark owners still seek to register the .eu domain name of 
their first choice. They have realized that domain name matters should not 
always be left with IT departments, but from time to
 time require professional legal assistance.

The Punt VL fallacy by by Patrick Vande Walle
There is a some parrallel that can be drawn between the current dispute on the 
.EH TLD for Western Sahara and the .VL application. In both cases, the process 
is being used for political purposes to serve a goal for autonomity or 
independence. I am not taking sides on the .EH issue, as I do not feel I have 
enough information to have a meaningful opinion. On .VL however, I think that 
the 20+ years I spent in Flanders can give me enough background.

annan, inom den litterära offentlighetens allt trängre lyriska marginal.
