1-4. Internet could run out of capacity by 2010, study claims [IDG]
A report from Nemertes Research claims "Consumer and corporate use of the
Internet could overload the current capacity and lead to brown-outs in two
years unless backbone providers invest billions of dollars in new
infrastructure." To prevent this, the report suggests "backbone providers
[will be required to] invest up to $137 billion in new capacity, more than
double what service providers plan to invest."

6. IP Justice Report on 2007 IGF
IP Justice gives its report on the IGF meeting recently held in Rio, giving
where they feel the meeting excelled, and where the 2008 meeting can
improve. Highlights were the high quality of the workshops and best practice
sessions with an often outstanding level of quality of the dialogue in many
sessions, the broad depth of sessions and robust quality of debate in
non-main session discussions. Webcasting, transcription and the interactions
and networking opportunities also got high marks. Areas where IP Justice
felt there could be improvements were the lack of discussion on areas such
as online censorship or other human rights, the lack of gender balance (too
many older men) and youth and the main sessions were dominated by
established particpants.

RESEARCH PAPERS

1. The Internet Singularity, Delayed: Why Limits in Internet Capacity Will
Stifle Innovation on the Web
Executive Summary: In this research study, Nemertes performed an independent
in-depth analysis of Internet and IP infrastructure (which we call capacity)
and current and projected traffic (which we call demand) with the goal of
understanding how each has changed over time, and determining if there will
ever be a point at which demand exceeds capacity.

2. Internet could run out of capacity by 2010, study claims [IDG]
Consumer and corporate use of the Internet could overload the current
capacity and lead to brown-outs in two years unless backbone providers
invest billions of dollars in new infrastructure, according to a study
released Monday. A flood of new video and other Web content could overwhelm
the Internet by 2010 unless backbone providers invest up to $137 billion in
new capacity, more than double what service providers plan to invest,
according to the study by Nemertes Research LLC, an independent analysis
firm. In North America alone, backbone investments of $42 billion to $55
billion will be needed in the next three to five years to keep up with
demand, Nemertes said.

3. Net gridlock by 2010 study warns
Consumer demand for bandwidth could see the internet running out of capacity
as early as 2010, a new study warns. US analyst firm Nemertes Research
predicted a drastic slowdown as the network struggles to cope with the
amount of data being carried on it. Such gridlock would drastically affect
how people use the web and could mean the next Google or YouTube simply
doesn't get off the ground, it said.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7103426.stm

4. Bandwidth Demands Exceeding Internet Infrastructure Investment
Nemertes Research has released a report on the future of the Internet
infrastructure. The key finding from the report is that bandwidth demands
are exceeding infrastructure investment, especially at the access layer. We
project that users may begin to see the impact of degraded application
performance as early as 2010. We also noted that the planned investments in
Internet infrastructure are insufficient to meet growing demand.

5. An Internet Security Operations Viewpoint of IGF
The IGF is an annual UN conference on Internet governance which was held
this year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The topics discussed range from human
rights online to providing Internet access in developing countries. A
somewhat secondary topic of conversation is Internet security and
cyber-crime mostly limited to policy and legislative efforts. Techies and
Internet security industry don't have much to do there, but I have a few
updates for us from the conference.

6. IP Justice Report on 2007 IGF
The 2007 IGF is officially over. The second meeting hosted by the United
Nations to advance discussion on issues related to Internet governance was
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 12 – 15 November 2007. The 4-day
international conference focused on 5 main themes: Openness, Access,
Security, Diversity, and issues related to the management of Critical
Internet Resources (CIR). Capacity building was a cross-cutting issue
through all the main themes. Over 2,000 registered participants from 109
countries attended the IGF's various main plenary sessions, workshops, best
practice sessions and other related meetings.

7. Network Neutrality: Implications for Europe - 3-4 December 2007 Bonn,
Germany
Given the growing prominence of broadband, an intense debate concerning
whether Internet service providers should be required to offer access to
content, applications and network devices on a non-discriminatory basis has
been raging in the United States. This Network Neutrality debate has not
been intense so far in Europe; however, the issue of Network Neutrality was
a factor in the 2006 review of the European regulatory framework, and it
could have far-reaching implications for the long-term development of ICTs
in Europe. This workshop will try to assess the current situation, identify
shortcomings and explore future options.

8. Is the Internet Governable? by Larry Seltzer
Opinion: No, there's no Internet Governmental Organization based in
Switzerland that can order anyone around. What authorities there are can
only focus on the high-profile stuff. Mostly, it's every man for himself.
Most people must assume that there's some agency in charge of the Internet,
someone who can enforce rules and impose new standards. Of course there
isn't. Partly it's from misleading representations of technology on TV and
the movies. I especially remember one "Law&Order" episode in which the NYPD
computer guru ran a "tracert" program that identified who had sent an e-mail
down to the address of their house. Neat trick.

11. Hero's honour for decision-maker - Dennis Jennings, new ICANN board
member
Back in 1983, while most of us were being asked to tighten our belts,
Irishman Dennis Jennings had to make a decision that would eventually have
far-reaching social, scientific and economic implications, not only for the
world but also for Ireland. Dublin is now the envy of the world, with major
internet companies such as Google, Yahoo!, Amazon and eBay having bases here
and employing thousands between them. Few realise that the internet, as we
know it, was made possible by Jennings' decision in 1983, when he was in
charge of the supercomputer programme at the National Science Foundation in
the US, to deploy a protocol known as TCP/IP in a network linking 304
university research departments in the US.

12. Domain Name Update: Front Running by Matthew Hall
The Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) of ICANN has launched a
probe into the practice of what it calls domain name "front running". ICANN
said that there are widespread suspicions that checks for availability are
being monitored and the information used to register desired addresses in
order to sell them back to the user at a profit. People who want to buy a
domain name usually check its availability first on websites such as
whois.net, or through registrar companies. It is at that point that
unscrupulous operators may be registering names in order to profit from the
demand.

Andorra is one of the smallest countries in the world, and only recently
came under self-rule. But given that the little state tucked away in the
Pyrenees range has beautiful scenery, tourism has helped invigorate a
formerly moribund economy. Set in the center of southern Europe, the country
could become an Internet hub if interested parties invested in the
infrastructure, knowing that the prime E.U. location and small amount of
bureaucracy could prove a potent business mix.

 - DOMAIN SECURITY
**********************
19. DNS security improves as firms tool up to tackle spam
Domain name servers on the net are still often vulnerable to attacks despite
some marked improvements, according to a new survey. Many organisations are
making efforts to install the most recent versions of BIND and eliminate
Microsoft DNS for external servers. But most still leave their systems open
to denial of service and pharming attacks by allowing recursion and zone
transfers in response to arbitrary requests from unauthenticated parties.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/20/dns_security_survey/

20. DNS Servers in Harm's Way
Sometimes it takes a DNS attack for an organization to get serious about the
security of its Internet-facing DNS name servers. Many of these servers
today are still not properly secured or configured, security experts say,
leaving them wide open for distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) and other
types of attacks. "There are many organizations who are still in the dark
about managing their external DNS," says David Ulevitch, CEO of OpenDNS.
"Just as people run firewalls and anti-spam systems, it's important for them
to manage the DNS coming into, and leaving, their network.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=139525

21. DNS security still "as vulnerable as ever"
The security of domain name system (DNS) continues to be an issue for
network administrators, despite the availability of more secure DNS servers
such as BIND 9, according to a survey by network appliance company,
Infoblox.
http://hardware.silicon.com/servers/0,39024647,39169220,00.htm

22. Are your servers vulnerable to DNS attacks?
More than half of internet name servers today allow requests that leave
networks vulnerable to cache poisoning and distributed denial of service
attacks — a fact that has not improved over the past year. The finding is
part of the third annual survey of the internet's domain name servers
released this week by The Measurement Factory, which conducted the survey
for DNS management appliance maker Infoblox.

23. Video spam and other nastiness set for 2008
MessageLabs has unveiled its security predictions for 2008, and
unsurprisingly the forecast is a tad gloomy, with video file spam among
other nastiness predicted for the coming year.

"ICANN will continue to be exploited through loopholes, and domain kiting
will continue to be a problem." (Again, ICANN exploits are already with us).

24. Protecting Your Brand in Cyberspace
For business, the Internet age means sales without borders and a worldwide
market of billions of customers. The same aspects of the Internet that are
so attractive to business, however, can also be a source of sleepless nights
and deep concern for legal counsel charged with corporate brand protection.
http://www.law.com/jsp/legaltechnology/pubArticleLT.jsp?id=1195466653399

25. Domain Name System still at risk
The Domain Name System (DNS) is still growing strongly, indicating the
internet's expansion in terms of infrastructure, users, traffic and
applications. But the annual survey of domain name servers on the public
internet by Infoblox suggests that the global DNS is as vulnerable as ever.

26. Hackers Abuse Domain-Name Trust
Using variations on trusted, popular domains has long been a common tactic
for scammers, spammers and porn sites. But cyber criminals have devised a
new twist on the misspelled domain-name trick by hijacking IP addresses. And
they tried it on Yahoo.

27. Domain names can falsely lure users
The type of domain name that a website uses is not necessarily authorised
anymore, it has been claimed, and can be attained by almost anyone. Record
sales of certain domain names with popular key words highlight the
importance of the name of site, yet communications supplier Pipex Hosting
has stated that these names are often not actually what they describe.

The list of forgettable names is long, corny and meaningless -- except maybe

Gootodo, Goowy, Meebo, Noodly, Otavo, Oyogi, Qoop, Renkoo, Skobee, Tioti,
Trumba, Woomp, Wrickr, Zlango and Zoozio are but a few. This bizarre
avalanche of bad names comes from a single source: the elusive URL. ... "All
of the names in the Blish to Zoozio list cited above are examples of 'what
were they thinking?' and what they were thinking was this: We must have a
domain name that matched exactly our company/product name," agrees Jurisich.
"But, the success of Google has made this issue irrelevant."
