Does online video threaten the net?
There is no doubt that video is big on the net. But is it getting too big? Ask AT&T and it will answer - yes. Speaking in London in late April, Jim Cicconi, AT&T's vice president of legal affairs, said the burgeoning amount of video would consume all the net's bandwidth in two years.

Hollywood taking sides in network neutrality debate
Hollywood believes the Internet is the key to its future. But its constituents are again squabbling over how to get there. As in the recent television writers strike, the major studios are at odds with some members of the creative community over digital distribution. This time it's about a public policy issue known as network neutrality.

Is Balkanization of the Internet inevitable?
The openness of the Internet could fall to nationalism. That's just one of the side effects from nationalism and its impact on global trade, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal in its Monday edition zoomed out to look at the rise of nationalism. After all, talk of free trade has been shouted down. Governments are raising barriers across economic and political frontiers and entering daily lives more. And the world is becoming much less flat contrary what the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman argues.

ca: Domain name policy balances privacy with public access by Michael Geist
Earlier this month, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), the agency that manages the dot-ca domain, celebrated its one millionth domain name registration. While that represents an important milestone, a far more noteworthy development is that CIRA also quietly announced the implementation of a new "WHOIS" policy that will better protect the privacy of hundreds of thousands of Canadians and serve as a model for domain name registries around the world.

While .mx is not one of the larger ccTLDs, it is experiencing strong growth with an increase of 24 per cent in 2007. It took 15 years to reach the first 100,000 .mx domain names and another two years to reach 200,000 and a further six months to reach the quarter million mark.

Battling Brandjackers: Study finds declines in domain kiting and pay-per-click abuses against the world's strongest brands by Ihab Shraim, MarkMonitor
The Internet has changed the world in astonishing ways—both good and bad—and all in the last 10 to 15 years. We marvel at the good: immediate access to even the most obscure information, free and secure worldwide person-to-person communication, and the ability to access almost any product or service with just the click of a mouse.

But while 3Com's TippingPoint researchers say they have the ability to disinfect the systems by eradicating the malware installed on the hijacked PCs, the company has decided against the move, citing liability issues.

An independent appeals panel has overturned a heavily-criticised decision to hand control of the myspace.co.uk domain to Rupert Murdoch's Fox Interactive Media.

IPv6... Becoming a Hot Topic Again? by Yves Poppe
Is IPv6 a hot topic again in the wake of the increased coverage of the looming IPv4 address depletion? This was the theme of a coffee break discussion we had at the recent MENOG3 conference in Kuwait. With as many opinions as participants, I turned to “Google Trend” to help me get a better feel. That astonishing little tool analyzes the frequency of searches on a particular word or set of words through the Google search universe. Google Trend provides a graphic representation of search volumes and reference volume over time starting in January 2004. Using IPv6 as search word and varying the time line indeed provided some interesting perspective and tidbits on when and where IPv6 seems to be or have been a hot topic indeed.

Fun and Games In the ccTLD World by Michele Neylon
There must be something in the air. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but there are a lot of things going on in the ccTLD world at the moment. In the UK Nominet’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) is being held this week. This would normally provoke a yawn from most people — it’s an AGM — how exciting can that be? This year’s AGM looks like it could be quite entertaining, although it probably isn’t going to be particularly beneficial for its membership.

15 Jahre World Wide Web
Eigentlich ist es kaum zu glauben, aber vor gar nicht all zu langer Zeit war in der Öffentlichkeit vom World Wide Web (WWW) noch keine Rede. Wenn man den PC nutzte, dann für Schreibarbeiten oder zur Erstellung von Tabellen. Vor genau 15 Jahren änderte sich das. Genau am 30. April wurde die Technologie für Internet-Inhalte, die heute aus dem Leben der meisten Menschen nicht mehr wegzudenken ist, zur allgemeinen Nutzung freigegeben.

Das World Wide Web (WWW) feiert in der kommenden Woche Geburtstag: 15 Jahre zuvor, am 30. April 1993, wurde die Technologie für Internet-Inhalte zur allgemeinen Nutzung freigegeben.

"Das Web hat als Fenster zum Internet unsere Lebensgewohnheiten revolutioniert", sagte Prof. Dr. August-Wilhelm Scheer, Präsident des Hightech-Verbandes BITKOM, zu dem Jubiläum.

Der Krake analysiert
Das Kraken-Botnetz erlangte auf der RSA-Sicherheitskonferenz einige Aufmerksamkeit aufgrund seiner Größe – es soll rund 400.000 Drohnen umfassen. Bislang werde das Botnetz zumeist zum Spam-Versand eingesetzt – die üblichen Spam-Mails für Online-Apotheken, Penisverlängerungen, Online-Casinos oder Kredite, hieß es Anfang April. Diverse Sicherheitsunternehmen haben mittlerweile die Bot-Software analysiert; sie haben jetzt die Algorithmen etwa zur Erstellung der zufälligen Domain-Namen für die Command-and-Control-Server (C&C) oder zur Ver- und Entschlüsselung der Kommunikation nachprogrammiert und stellen sie sogar zum Download zur Verfügung.
