The Internet Singularity, Delayed: Why Limits in Internet Capacity Will Stifle 
Innovation on the Web
Executive Summary: In this research study, Nemertes performed an independent 
in-depth analysis of Internet and IP infrastructure (which we call capacity) 
and current and projected traffic (which we call demand) with the goal of 
understanding how each has changed over time, and determining if there will 
ever be a point at which demand exceeds capacity.

Internet could run out of capacity by 2010, study claims [IDG]
Consumer and corporate use of the Internet could overload the current capacity 
and lead to brown-outs in two years unless backbone providers invest billions 
of dollars in new infrastructure, according to a study released Monday. A flood 
of new video and other Web content could overwhelm the Internet by 2010 unless 
backbone providers invest up to $137 billion in new capacity, more than double 
what service providers plan to invest, according to the study by Nemertes 
Research LLC, an independent analysis firm. In North America alone, backbone 
investments of $42 billion to $55 billion will be needed in the next three to 
five years to keep up with demand, Nemertes said.

Net gridlock by 2010 study warns
Consumer demand for bandwidth could see the internet running out of capacity as 
early as 2010, a new study warns. US analyst firm Nemertes Research predicted a 
drastic slowdown as the network struggles to cope with the amount of data being 
carried on it. Such gridlock would drastically affect how people use the web 
and could mean the next Google or YouTube simply doesn't get off the ground, it 
said.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7103426.stm

Bandwidth Demands Exceeding Internet Infrastructure Investment
Nemertes Research has released a report on the future of the Internet 
infrastructure. The key finding from the report is that bandwidth demands are 
exceeding infrastructure investment, especially at the access layer. We project 
that users may begin to see the impact of degraded application performance as 
early as 2010. We also noted that the planned investments in Internet 
infrastructure are insufficient to meet growing demand.

An Internet Security Operations Viewpoint of IGF
The IGF is an annual UN conference on Internet governance which was held this 
year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The topics discussed range from human rights 
online to providing Internet access in developing countries. A somewhat 
secondary topic of conversation is Internet security and cyber-crime mostly 
limited to policy and legislative efforts. Techies and Internet security 
industry don’t have much to do there, but I have a few updates for us from the 
conference.

IP Justice Report on 2007 IGF
The 2007 IGF is officially over. The second meeting hosted by the United 
Nations to advance discussion on issues related to Internet governance was held 
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 12 – 15 November 2007. The 4-day international 
conference focused on 5 main themes: Openness, Access, Security, Diversity, and 
issues related to the management of Critical Internet Resources (CIR). Capacity 
building was a cross-cutting issue through all the main themes. Over 2,000 
registered participants from 109 countries attended the IGF’s various main 
plenary sessions, workshops, best practice sessions and other related meetings.

Network Neutrality: Implications for Europe - 3-4 December 2007 Bonn, Germany
Given the growing prominence of broadband, an intense debate concerning whether 
Internet service providers should be required to offer access to content, 
applications and network devices on a non-discriminatory basis has been raging 
in the United States. This Network Neutrality debate has not been intense so 
far in Europe; however, the issue of Network Neutrality was a factor in the 
2006 review of the European regulatory framework, and it could have 
far-reaching implications for the long-term development of ICTs in Europe. This 
workshop will try to assess the current situation, identify shortcomings and 
explore future options.

Is the Internet Governable? by Larry Seltzer
Opinion: No, there's no Internet Governmental Organization based in Switzerland 
that can order anyone around. What authorities there are can only focus on the 
high-profile stuff. Mostly, it's every man for himself. Most people must assume 
that there's some agency in charge of the Internet, someone who can enforce 
rules and impose new standards. Of course there isn't. Partly it's from 
misleading representations of technology on TV and the movies. I especially 
remember one "Law&Order" episode in which the NYPD computer guru ran a 
"tracert" program that identified who had sent an e-mail down to the address of 
their house. Neat trick.

Hero’s honour for decision-maker - Dennis Jennings, new ICANN board member
Back in 1983, while most of us were being asked to tighten our belts, Irishman 
Dennis Jennings had to make a decision that would eventually have far-reaching 
social, scientific and economic implications, not only for the world but also 
for Ireland. Dublin is now the envy of the world, with major internet companies 
such as Google, Yahoo!, Amazon and eBay having bases here and employing 
thousands between them. Few realise that the internet, as we know it, was made 
possible by Jennings’ decision in 1983, when he was in charge of the 
supercomputer programme at the National Science Foundation in the US, to deploy 
a protocol known as TCP/IP in a network linking 304 university research 
departments in the US.

Domain Name Update: Front Running by Matthew Hall
The Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) of ICANN has launched a 
probe into the practice of what it calls domain name "front running". ICANN 
said that there are widespread suspicions that checks for availability are 
being monitored and the information used to register desired addresses in order 
to sell them back to the user at a profit. People who want to buy a domain name 
usually check its availability first on websites such as whois.net, or through 
registrar companies. It is at that point that unscrupulous operators may be 
registering names in order to profit from the demand.

Internet law - Andorran domain registration
Andorra is one of the smallest countries in the world, and only recently came 
under self-rule. But given that the little state tucked away in the Pyrenees 
range has beautiful scenery, tourism has helped invigorate a formerly moribund 
economy. Set in the center of southern Europe, the country could become an 
Internet hub if interested parties invested in the infrastructure, knowing that 
the prime E.U. location and small amount of bureaucracy could prove a potent 
business mix.

 - DOMAIN SECURITY
**********************
DNS security improves as firms tool up to tackle spam
Domain name servers on the net are still often vulnerable to attacks despite 
some marked improvements, according to a new survey. Many organisations are 
making efforts to install the most recent versions of BIND and eliminate 
Microsoft DNS for external servers. But most still leave their systems open to 
denial of service and pharming attacks by allowing recursion and zone transfers 
in response to arbitrary requests from unauthenticated parties.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/20/dns_security_survey/

DNS Servers in Harm's Way
Sometimes it takes a DNS attack for an organization to get serious about the 
security of its Internet-facing DNS name servers. Many of these servers today 
are still not properly secured or configured, security experts say, leaving 
them wide open for distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) and other types of 
attacks. "There are many organizations who are still in the dark about managing 
their external DNS," says David Ulevitch, CEO of OpenDNS. "Just as people run 
firewalls and anti-spam systems, it's important for them to manage the DNS 
coming into, and leaving, their network.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=139525

DNS security still "as vulnerable as ever"
The security of domain name system (DNS) continues to be an issue for network 
administrators, despite the availability of more secure DNS servers such as 
BIND 9, according to a survey by network appliance company, Infoblox.
http://hardware.silicon.com/servers/0,39024647,39169220,00.htm

Are your servers vulnerable to DNS attacks?
More than half of internet name servers today allow requests that leave 
networks vulnerable to cache poisoning and distributed denial of service 
attacks — a fact that has not improved over the past year. The finding is part 
of the third annual survey of the internet's domain name servers released this 
week by The Measurement Factory, which conducted the survey for DNS management 
appliance maker Infoblox.

Video spam and other nastiness set for 2008
MessageLabs has unveiled its security predictions for 2008, and unsurprisingly 
the forecast is a tad gloomy, with video file spam among other nastiness 
predicted for the coming year.

Protecting Your Brand in Cyberspace
For business, the Internet age means sales without borders and a worldwide 
market of billions of customers. The same aspects of the Internet that are so 
attractive to business, however, can also be a source of sleepless nights and 
deep concern for legal counsel charged with corporate brand protection.

Domain Name System still at risk
The Domain Name System (DNS) is still growing strongly, indicating the 
internet's expansion in terms of infrastructure, users, traffic and 
applications. But the annual survey of domain name servers on the public 
internet by Infoblox suggests that the global DNS is as vulnerable as ever.

Hackers Abuse Domain-Name Trust
Using variations on trusted, popular domains has long been a common tactic for

it on Yahoo.

Domain names can falsely lure users
The type of domain name that a website uses is not necessarily authorised 
anymore, it has been claimed, and can be attained by almost anyone. Record 
sales of certain domain names with popular key words highlight the importance 
of the name of site, yet communications supplier Pipex Hosting has stated that 
these names are often not actually what they describe.
