From BNA Internet Law News... UKRAINE PRESIDENT NOT A FAN OF THE NET Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma has condemned the Internet, saying it has become a tool for political warfare and muckraking. In Ukraine, the Internet is one of the few areas where the free press has flourished, away from the long arm of the state and other vested interests. Web sites often carry uninhibited criticism of the president and other senior figures. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1652659l.htm IRAN ISPS CRITICIZE MOVE TO MONOPOLIZE INTERNET ACCESS Private Iranian ISPs have criticized a recent government decision requiring them to provide Internet access via state-owned telecoms companies.
