In the 15 years since Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web, the life of almost everyone in the industrialised world has been touched by it. But just as many of us are getting to grips with its second stage, the mobile internet, very few are prepared - perhaps even aware - of the third and potentially most revolutionary phase of all: the internet of things. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/oct/16/internet-of-things-ipv6 us: Keeping the Internet Free For a New Generation of Speakers The Internet is at a crossroads. Down one path lies a future where digital technology enhances constitutional freedoms; spurs innovations in expression and entrepreneurship; and fulfills its ultimate promise of connecting and empowering the world. Down the other? A future where the Internet is turned against users; where government spying runs unchecked, and where innovation is stifled by a closed and locked system, controlled by a handful of entrenched players. The next president will play a key role in determining which path we take. This is the second in a series of entries over the next couple weeks about the critical technology and civil liberties choices facing the next president of the United States.

This decision has actually been 6 years in the making. ICANN has been moving towards opening up of internet addresses since its inception 10 years ago. ICANN has continued to seek ways since then to resolve the complexity and bureaucracy of registering new TLDs, which have so far been very effective at limiting the number of available top-level domains. http://domainersmagazine.com/20080929143/domainer-s-magazine-news/icann-widens-online-horizons-tld-declassification.html Registrars linked to spam warned, but continue to sell Web addresses The Internet's chief governing body said Wednesday it would take action against a Chinese company that sells Web addresses often linked to spam e-mails.

The new provisions impact claims filed on or after July 29, 2008, while all prior claims will be processed under the rules in effect at the time the claim was filed. The amendments have been set to deal with the recent influx of bulk domain registration. More specifically, Nominet tailored the rules to address the 52 percent of cases where there is no response to the DRS complaint from the domain owner. Unopposed disputes will now automatically be resolved in favor of the party claiming a right to the domain name, and a summary decision or a full judgment with reasoning can be sought for a fee, £200 and £750 respectively. http://www.sedo.com/links/showhtml.php3?Id=2204 ********************** - DNS SECURITY ********************** FBI: Several nations eye U.S. cybertargets [IDG] About two-dozen nations have developed cyberattack capabilities and have their eyes on targets inside U.S. businesses and government agencies, the top cybercrime law enforcement official in the U.S. said today. http://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9117258 http://computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;670066611 http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/101508-fbi-several-nations-eyeing-us.html FBI targets rise in cybercrime from U.S. and abroad The threat of cybersecurity attacks are on the rise from organized crime, terrorists, and foreign governments, an FBI official warned on Wednesday. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10067330-38.html FBI sees rise in computer crime Computer spying and theft of personal information have risen notably in the past year, costing tens of millions of dollars and threatening U.S. security, the FBI's cyber division head said on Wednesday. http://uk.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUKTRE49E8J520081015 FBI warns of sweeping global threat to U.S. cybersecurity The FBI's newly appointed chief of cybersecurity warned today that "a couple dozen" countries are eager to hack U.S. government, corporate and military networks.

Usually, in cases where the panel has found that the name was registered in bad faith or where the panel determined that the registrant did not have a legitimate interest in the use of the domain name, it has ordered the registrant to transfer the domain name to the respective authors. http://www.ibls.com/internet_law_news_portal_view.aspx?s=articles&id=FDEEF486-5276-4F8F-9CC1-A34B2ACEAE88 ********************** - IPv4/IPv6 ********************** Confronting Ipv4 Address Exhaustion by Geoff Huston It should be entirely unsurprising that the next phase of the Internet's story, that of the transition of the underlying version of the IP protocol from IPv4 to IPv6, refuses to follows the intended script. Where we are now, in mid-2008, with IPv4 unallocated address pool exhaustion looming within the next 18 to 36 months, and IPv6 still largely not deployed in the public Internet, is a situation that was entirely uncontemplated and, even in hindsight, entirely surprising to encounter. http://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2008-10/v4depletion.html The Changing Foundation of the Internet: Confronting IPv4 Address Exhaustion by Geoff Huston, APNIC Throughout its relatively brief history, the Internet has continually challenged our preconceptions about networking and communications architectures. For example, the concepts that the network itself has no role in management of its own resources, and that resource allocation is the result of interaction between competing end-to-end data flows, were certainly novel innovations, and for many they have been very confrontational. The approach of designing a network that is unaware of services and service provisioning and is not attuned to any particular service whatsoever—leaving the role of service support to end-to-end overlays—was again a radical concept in network design. The Internet has never represented the conservative option for this industry, and has managed to define a path that continues to present significant challenges. http://cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_11-3/ipj_11-3.pdf IPv6 Transition at IETF72 by Geoff Huston The IETF's developmental work on IPv6 has included the study of the particular issues associated with transition to IPv6 from the outset. Starting with the TACIT work on transition in 1994-95, then NGTRANS from 1995 to 2002, and, more recently, the V6OPS Working Group which met first in early 2003 at IETF56. This study has now broadened in scope and today a number of IETF working groups are examining aspects of transition to IPv6 including the SOFTWIRE, BEHAVE and INTAREA Working Groups, in addition to V6OPS. In this article I'd like to look at the background to this IETF activity and review the current state of the IETF Working Groups that are looking at transition tools. http://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2008-09/ietf72-ipv6trans.html Probe Sees Unused Internet: A survey shows that addresses are not running out as quickly as we'd thought. In a little more than two years, the last Internet addresses will be assigned by the international group tasked with managing the 4.3 billion numbers. And yet, while most Internet engineers are looking to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the next-generation Internet addressing scheme, a research team has probed the entire Internet and found that the problem may not be as bad as many fear. The probe reveals millions of Internet addresses that have been allocated but remain unused. http://www.technologyreview.com/web/21528/?a=f Tiny IPv6-ready protocol stack created Cisco, Atmel and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) have announced that they’ve built one of the smallest IPv6 stacks ever, and have open sourced it for general use. http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2228327/tiny-ipv6-ready-protocol-stack UIPv6 protocol stack released Cisco, Atmel and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) have announced the availability of uIPv6. http://itnews.com.au/News/NewsStory.aspx?story=86743 http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/10/14/uipv6-protocol-stack-released ********************** - MISCELLANEOUS ********************** us: Go Daddy Lauds New Law To Protect Kids From Online Sex Predators [news release] It just became easier for Go Daddy to shut down online predators who target children.

"Ce qui permettra notamment d'augmenter le nombre de machines connectées au réseau", précisait-on à l'Afnic. http://www.journaldunet.com/solutions/acteurs/actualite/il-y-a-5-ans-l-afnic-achevait-sa-migration-vers-ipv6.shtml Le gouvernement américain s'attaque à la sécurisation de serveurs DNS Les États-Unis souhaitent sécuriser leurs serveurs DNS en adoptant le protocole de signature numérique DNSSEC.

In tanti, finora, hanno sottolineato il problema, e precisato quanto tempo rimanga prima che IPv4 riveli le sue insufficienze e la crescita dello spazio digitale arrivi ad uno stop. Se c'è chi parla di rischi esagerati nell'immediato, ora l'Information Sciences Institute (ISI) pubblica per la prima volta le proprie approfondite rilevazioni, sostenendo che la situazione non sarebbe poi così grave. http://punto-informatico.it/2441046/PI/News/ipv4-potrebbe-reggere-piu-lungo-del-previsto.aspx Taller de Aspectos Comerciales para ccTLDs en LAC / Commercial Aspects for ccTLDs in LAC Workshop El Taller estara enfocado a temas como: Relacion con Registradores, Estrategias para enfrentar el mercado con otros TLDs, Retos sobre el Segundo o Tercer nivel para el registro, Diseño de estrategias comerciales, Pay-per-click , EPP, Resolucion de Disputas, Parking de Nombres de Dominio, Redes de registradores, Mercados Secundarios, entre otros temas. http://www.latinoamericann.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1711 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The domain name news is supported by auDA For information on subscriptions to the domain name and/or general internet news please contact me.
