How long can it last? - With the explosion of bandwidth-hungry habits such as peer-to-peer file sharing, video streaming and teleworking, experts are warning that Canadian ISPs are reaching the limits of their capacity under the current infrastructure. But while service providers in other countries are investing in new technology to increase capacity, Canadian telcos are trying to curb high-use customers through methods like throttling, or degrading the speed of clients who use peer-to-peer software. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080618.wgtftth0617/BNStory/Technology/ ********************** DOMAIN NAMES ********************** ********************** - ICANN ********************** ICANN meeting shuttle service is go!

In addition, the recent Midterm Review of the Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between the United States Department of Commerce and ICANN produced useful comments about ICANN’s performance and future. Most commentators in that consultation believe ICANN has made significant progress, but that some key areas need to be improved in order to complete the transition to an agreed model of multi-stakeholder coordination of the Internet’s unique identifiers. http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-16jun08-en.htm ICANN: Proposed Global Policy for Autonomous System Numbers - Final Call for Comments and Background Report On 13 June 2008, the Chair of the Address Supporting Organization Address Council forwarded a Proposed Global Policy for Autonomous System Numbers, ASNs, for ratification by the ICANN Board.
