			<title>Do the IM Protocol Wars Even Matter?</title>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.circleid.com/posts/89249_im_protocol_wars/</guid>
			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/89249_im_protocol_wars/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Do you care any more about zillion different IM services? Do you care about the IM protocol wars that have plagued the usage of IM for the last years? Odds are that if you are an IM user like me, you probably don't. Why not? Simple... we've unified the IM services on the client side and basically stopped caring about the various services and protocols. I was reminded of this fact this morning when I received a message saying that an update was available for Adium on my Mac that solved a really annoying disconnection problem with Yahoo!Messenger. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/89249_im_protocol_wars/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/german_court_voip_iphone_ban/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Germany's Higher Regional Court of Hamburg has banned the use of a VoIP application called Sipgate on the Apple iPhone. The application enables iPhone users to make VoIP calls when via local Wi-Fi hotspots in Germany. The court case was brought by T-Mobile, which is the exclusive distributor of the iPhone in Germany. The application is however currently still available for sale on Apple's iTunes, as it has not been banned for use outside Germany. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/german_court_voip_iphone_ban/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Last week American Airlines launched their Aircell wireless Internet access on a limited number of flights. It didn't take long before a few folks tried to make voice and video calls (in violation of Aircell's terms-of-service according to their PR folks), and it didn't take long before someone figured a way around their voice/video blocking efforts. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/88272_aircell_vs_voip/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Hunting Unicorns: Myths and Realities of the Net Neutrality Debate</title>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.circleid.com/posts/88112_myths_net_neutrality_debate/</guid>
			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/88112_myths_net_neutrality_debate/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[In many ways, the emotionally charged debate on Network Neutrality (NN) has been a lot like hunting Unicorns. While hunting the mythical horse could be filled with adrenalin, emotion, and likely be quite entertaining, the prize would ultimately prove to be elusive. As a myth, entertaining; but when myths become reality, then all bets are off. The Network Neutrality public and private debate has been filled with more emotion than rational discussion, and in its wake a number of myths have become accepted as reality. Unfortunately, public policy, consumer broadband services, and service provider business survival hang in the balance. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/88112_myths_net_neutrality_debate/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>FCC&apos;s Comcast Ruling Inconsistent and Incoherent</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/88103_fcc_comcast_ruling_inconsistent_incoherent/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[After voting on the Comcast order today, Kevin Martin and his Democratic Party colleagues issued press releases telling us how they saved the Internet from Comcast's discriminatory practices, but they've failed to release the actual order they adopted and subsequently re-wrote. Commissioner McDowell wasn't allowed to see the revised order until 7:00 PM the night before the meeting. Rumor has it that high-level spin doctors are still trying to remove all the rough edges, inconsistencies, and factual errors. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/88103_fcc_comcast_ruling_inconsistent_incoherent/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>U.S. Bill Grants VoIP Providers Full 911 Access</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/voip_providers_911_access/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Senate this week passed legislation that requires 911 network operators to allow VoIP callers to connect, no matter what service they're calling from. The New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act passed by unanimous consent Monday. It's meant to ensure that traditional telecoms, which operate the emergency networks, connect VoIP providers with the same rates and conditions they use when connecting mobile phones. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/voip_providers_911_access/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>SPIT is in Everyone&apos;s Mouth, Though Not Yet in Everyone&apos;s Ears</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/86168_spit_everyones_mouth_not_ears/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT) is viewed by many as a daunting threat. SPIT is much more fatal than email spam, for the annoyance and disturbance factor is much higher. Various academic groups and the industry have made some efforts to find ways to mitigate SPIT. Most ideas in that field are leaning on classical IT security concepts such as intrusion detection systems, black-/white-/greylists, Turing tests/computational puzzles, reputation systems, gatekeeper solutions, etc... We identified the lack of a benchmark testbed for SPIT as a serious gap in the current research on the matter, and this motivated us at the to start working on a first tool for that. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/86168_spit_everyones_mouth_not_ears/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>Introductory Remarks from Innovation &apos;08</title>

			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/86147_net_neutrality_innovation_081/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Here's my opening remarks from <a href="http://www.mediaaccess.org/events/innovation-08s-second-forum-open-access-and-the-new-net-neutrality-on-june-12-at-santa-clara-university#body">Media Access Project's Innovation '08</a> in Santa Clara this morning. A DVD will be available shortly. This was a lively discussion, with Google and Vuze on the case. Good morning and welcome. My name is Richard Bennett and I'm a network engineer. I've built networking products for 30 years and contributed to a dozen networking standards, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi... I'm opposed to net neutrality regulations because they foreclose some engineering options that we're going to need for the Internet to become the one true general-purpose network that links all of us to each other, connects all our devices to all our information, and makes the world a better place. Let me explain. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/86147_net_neutrality_innovation_081/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>VoIP Compression Technique Vulnerable to Ease Dropping</title>
			<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.circleid.com/posts/voip_compression_ease_dropping/</guid>
			<link>http://www.circleid.com/posts/voip_compression_ease_dropping/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Plans to compress internet (VoIP) phone calls so they use less bandwidth could make them vulnerable to eavesdropping. Most networks are currently safe, but many service providers are due to implement the flawed compression technology. A team from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, US, has shown that simply measuring the size of packets without decoding them can identify whole words and phrases with a high rate of accuracy. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/voip_compression_ease_dropping/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title>SIP Revolution, Massively Delayed &#45; But There&apos;s Hope</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The SIP Center asked for an article which I finally wrote the weekend before last. My article was actually rather negative, but they <a href="http://www.sipcenter.com/sip.nsf/newsview?open&type=News&docid=WEBB7F32GK">published</a> it anyway. Now I'm feeling a little guilty as there is an optimistic note I could have used as my conclusion. So let me try again... First let me summarize my problem. When SIP emerged in 1996, it's support for direct connections from one user to another was extremely compelling. This was the VoIP protocol which would lead to a complete revolution in communications... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/85306_sip_revolution_delayed_hope/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Tyee, an independent on-line magazine based in BC wrote a <a href="http://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2007/01/17/NetNeutrality/">story</a> about net neutrality more than a year ago, noting that most Canadians are sleeping through the debate. They <a href="http://thetyee.ca/News/2008/04/09/Throttling/">followed up</a> again last week. Despite what is <a href="http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2787/125/">called</a> a "perfect storm of events that may crystallize the issue for consumers, businesses, politicians, and regulators," there hasn't been an overwhelming outcry, despite extensive press coverage of the most recent network activities. There are a number of voices who present a conspiracy theory on traffic shaping in Canada... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/84148_canadians_net_neutrality/">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The internet is a shared resource. Different access providers begin mixing traffic at different places, but sooner or later, my internet gets mixed into yours.
