			<title>Fiber to the Home: Ideal Economic Stimulus?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[This week, the headlines seem to be full of fresh doom and gloom for wireline carriers, who employ people in every congressional district across America. Sooner or later, someone is going to call for Congress to tap some of the hundreds of billions in 2009 economic stimulus to help the LECs through troubled times, save lots of jobs, and preserve the way we do business in our critical last-mile communications infrastructure. Is this wise? Is there a better way? <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081204_fiber_home_ideal_economic_stimulus/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Listening to several of the discussions here at the IGF (so far), my <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_next_international_policy_battlefield_ict/">post</a> from yesterday seems to be close to what the focus of this meeting is, control and access to resources. Yesterday I highlighted areas of Governance where Governments actually could help, and make difference. Admittedly, that is not all the aspects of governance though. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081204_what_internet_governance_boils_down_to/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>No Ifs, Ands or Butts, the New FCC Must Focus on Neutrality</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_no_ifs_ands_butts_fcc_neutrality/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Denver Post today urged a new FCC to get its mind off of "buttocks" and onto more serious issues like Net Neutrality. The editorial board was referring to a case now before the U.S. Court of Appeals, in which the agency's top legal minds are trying to determine the appropriate definition for the human posterior to better guide efforts to fine ABC for a few errant cheeks featured on a 2003 episode of NYPD Blue. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_no_ifs_ands_butts_fcc_neutrality/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Mobile Broadband Speeds Over 5 Times Faster as Early as 2009</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/faster_mobile_broadband_speeds_2009/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The idea seems far-fetched given that even the fastest dongles currently hover at around 7.2Mb/sec, but according to John Cunliffe, Ericsson's chief technology officer, the technology to smash that barrier is just around the corner. Cunliffe acknowledges that while the technology to boost speeds exists, it may take another year or so for the dongles themselves to catch up. However, he doesn't think speeds will stop at 42Mb/sec. "We think even more in the future, we can probably squeeze that to 80Mb/sec, and that's before we even get to Long Term Evolution." <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/faster_mobile_broadband_speeds_2009/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Authorities in the southeastern Chinese city of Nanchang are requiring all local Internet cafes to replace their Microsoft Windows XP operating systems with a Chinese-made system, Red Flag Linux, according to officials and Internet cafe owners. An official with the Nanchang Cultural Discipline Team, which oversees the roughly 600 Internet cafes operating in Nanchang city, said the new operating systems were mandatory. "We have already started installing the new software in all Internet cafes. All of them must have this new one," the official said. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/china_internet_cafes_microsoft_to_chinese_os/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Is the New &quot;.Tel&quot; Domain More than Just a Pretty Web Interface to DNS?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Is the new ".tel" domain launching today more than just a pretty web interface to DNS? Is it something really unique? Is it a new service that couldn't be easily replicated elsewhere? In case you haven't been following the subject, a company called Telnic has launched a new top-level DNS domain ".tel" today. Today, December 3rd, is the launch of the "Sunrise" period where companies can (for a high price) obtain the ".tel" domain associated with their trademark. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_new_tel_domain_pretty_interface_dns/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Internet must support the large number of languages in the world at all levels, including content, hardware, software, and internationalized domain names if it is to reach the next billion people, according to speakers at an Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Hyderabad, India. "When we talk about Internet for all, we have to go beyond the people who speak English," said Manal Ismail, vice chair of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), on Wednesday. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/igf_next_billion_internet_multilingual_support/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>The Next International Policy Battlefield Will Be ICT Policy</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_next_international_policy_battlefield_ict/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I am currently in Hyderabad, attending the Internet Governance Forum, IGF. With hours before the official opening, it might be worth reflecting a bit on Internet Governance and the general discussion on the role of international policy and ICT (information and communication technologies). I have several times before said, and written, that the real difference that governments could make (assuming that Governance is in relation to Governing) in Internet policy is close to their traditional roles.  <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_next_international_policy_battlefield_ict/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Lawless Canada Emerging as a Spam Haven</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_lawless_canada_spam_haven/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The recent Facebook case has placed the spotlight on Canada's ongoing failure to address its spam problem by introducing long overdue anti-spam legislation. The fact that organizations are forced to use U.S. courts and laws to deal with Canadian spammers points to an inconvenient truth &ndash; Canadian anti-spam laws are woefully inadequate and we are rapidly emerging as a haven for spammers eager exploit the weak legal framework. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081203_lawless_canada_spam_haven/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Cybercrime and &quot;Remote Search&quot;</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081202_cybercrime_and_remote_search/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[According to news reports, part of the EU's cybercrime strategy is "remote search" of suspects' computers. I'm not 100% certain what that means, but likely guesses are alarming. The most obvious interpretation is also the most alarming: that some police officer will have the right and the ability to peruse people's computers from his or her desktop. How, precisely, is this to be done? Will Microsoft and Apple &ndash; and Ubuntu and Red Hat and all the BSDs and everyone else who ships systems &ndash; have to build back doors into all operating systems? <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081202_cybercrime_and_remote_search/">More...</a>]]></description>
