Childnet urgently seeks new partnerships as it faces
uncertain future
Over the last 11 years Childnet has made real
contribution to advancing the agenda of positive and
safe use of the internet for children. As a small
independent charity we have been successful in working
directly with children, parents and teachers and
engaging constructively with a wide range of partners
both in the UK and elsewhere to ensure that the issues
of online child protection and children?s safe and
positive use of the internet are addressed. Indeed,
Childnet has been privileged to develop and contribute
to a number of ground-breaking initiatives which have
inspired others throughout the world to better respond
to the challenges and opportunities of children and
communications technology.

cn: Google move 'black day' for China
Google's launch of a new, self-censored search engine
in China is a "black day" for freedom of expression, a
leading international media watchdog says: IN 2001
human-rights activists in China crowed that a
little-known search engine called Google was the most
important tool ever created to skirt state censors.
Users could retrieve content that Beijing banned by
clicking to call up a ?cached? copy of the web page,
stored by Google. Soon, however, Google itself was
being sporadically blocked. The firm was instructed to
deactivate that particular feature, and for a short
time its web address was even re-routed by Chinese
network operators to the website of a local rival.

cn: Google's Chinese firewall blocks more than Yahoo!
Google's new China search engine not only censors many

OECD: VoIP: DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MARKET
The development of broadband Internet access, as well
as the usage of innovative technologies such as
advanced wireless systems, including third-generation
mobile (3G) and wireless LANs, have triggered a shift
in voice traffic from traditional public switched
telephone networks (PSTN) to alternative Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. While there are a variety of
IP-enabled services, one of the most prominent is
likely to be voice over IP networks (VoIP). For the
moment, the proliferation of IP applications/services
is not likely to completely displace traditional
telecommunications services as IP services today still
generally run across an underlying telecommunications
infrastructure. Although, at present, the VoIP market
is not large, it is expected to grow dramatically
driven by a number of factors such as:
