[AfrICANN-discuss] News from around teh net -- different languages

23. Mutually assured destruction in cyberspace
A report on the Chinese cyber-threat is the focus of an article in The
Financial Times, that uses as its basis a paper by John Tkacik, senior
research fellow at the Asian Studies Center of the Heritage Foundation
on the Chinese cyberthreat. The article notes the study highlights a
list of security breaches that will make worrying reading for US
policymakers, even if exaggerated. This is particularly so because of
the size of their internet populations in both the US and China and
that "the US and China will be each other's biggest strategic rival in
the future."

The article also says "the threat to peace from US-China rivalry in
cyberspace is significant for two reasons." These are "the US expects
to maintain overwhelming military dominance in the Pacific and around
the world for at least a generation, but only because of its
technological lead and its ability to "see" and control the
battlefield electronically from space and from the air" and "planners
assume that future wars will involve cyber-attacks to cripple the
enemy's entire society by disabling electricity, communications and
banking networks."

24. Thousands of cyber attacks each day on Britain's key utilities
"Cyber-espionage" from countries such as Russia and China against
computer networks controlling electricity supplies, telecommunications
and banking is the focus of an article in The Times. The article says
networks "are being attacked thousands of times a day in a new
cyberwar against Britain waged by criminals and terrorists - some of
them backed by foreign states - the Government has said."

1. Deconstructing An Experiment In Global Internet Governance: The
ICANN Case by Slavka Antonova [International Journal of Communications
Law and Policy]
The model of a global multistakeholder collaboration in Internet
domain-name system management, as developed by U.S. government in 1998
and embedded in the ICANN, held all the promises of a paradigm shift
in global governance. Seven years later, the UN World Summit on the
Information Society in Tunisia (November 2005) adopted some of the
vocabulary of the ICANN experiment and recognized the multistakeholder
collaboration as a key organizational principle in global Internet
governance. Yet, it reestablished the leading role of national
governments and intergovernmental organizations, such as the ITU, in
the regulation of the global Internet.

GOVERNANCE
**********************
2. A Decade of Internet Evolution by Vinton G. Cerf, Google
In 1998 the Internet had about 50 million users, supported by
approximately 25 million servers (Web and e-mail hosting sites, for
example, but not desktops or laptops). In that same year, the ICANN
was created. Internet companies such as Netscape Communications,
Yahoo!, eBay, and Amazon were already 3 to 4 years old and the
Internet was in the middle of its so-called "dot-boom" period. Google
emerged that year as a highly speculative effort to "organize the
world's information and make it accessible and useful." Investment in
anything related to the Internet was called "irrational exuberance" by
the then head of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, Alan Greenspan.

3. A Decade in the Life of the Internet by Geoff Huston, APNIC
The evolutionary path of any technology can often take strange and
unanticipated turns and twists. At some points simplicity and
minimalism can be replaced by complexity and ornamentation, while at
other times a dramatic cut-through exposes the core concepts of the
technology and removes layers of superfluous additions. The technical
evolution of the Internet appears to be no exception, and contains
these same forms of unanticipated turns and twists.

4. Cyber Infrastructure: The Internet's New Shortcut
The Internet, it turns out, may have room enough for everyone. Even
the most bandwidth-hogging digital pirates. That, at least, is the
hope of two professors from the University of Washington and Yale
University. They plan to present research at a conference in Seattle
on Thursday describing a new and speedier way to send data across the
Internet. Their technique, based on an algorithm they call P4P, could
eventually offer a less controversial version of peer-to-peer file
sharing, a practice that has flooded the Internet with pirated music
and movies and ignited debate over what online content broadband
providers should regulate.

5. The Future of the Internet - A Political View by Geoff Huston
Lets face it, gathering a collection of ministerial delegations to
laboriously recite prepared speeches to each other sounds about as
exciting as watching paint dry. And observing meetings where the major
outcome appears to be limited to the scheduling of the next meeting
can become somewhat tedious after a while. It should not be surprising
that the level of expectation of tangible outcomes for such
governmental meetings is invariably abysmally low. So what's the value
of adding yet another meeting to governments' schedule? What makes the
OECD-hosted ministerial meeting on the Future of the Internet Economy
so unique in the context of the Internet's current political landscape
and its political future? Why would a meeting about the dismal science
of economics hold any interest at all?

7. Joe Biden's pro-RIAA, pro-FBI tech voting record
By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the
Democrats have selected a politician with a mixed record on technology

Voters' Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation was actually
responsible for the creation of PGP.

36. What IPv6 Address is That? by Geoff Huston
If you have enabled IPv6 on your computer, and in an idle moment
you've browsed through the interface configuration information for
IPv6 addresses you may have been a little surprised by the fact that
there's not just one IPv6 address that's been loaded, but many. With
IPv4 there was a single address that was bound to each interface, but
when using IPv6 its not so clear, and an interface can have a number
of IPv6 addresses simultaneously. Its also common to have automatic
IPv6 over IPv4 tunnelling interfaces be created, and they also are
configured with IPv6 addresses. The result can be impressive in terms
of the number of IPv6 addresses that are configured into a single host
system. Which IPv6 addresses are useable, and in which context? In
this article I'd like to look at the IPv6 address plan, and describe
the various address prefixes.

56. IPv6 boudé par les entreprises
Selon une étude portant sur une année d'analyse et publiée cette
semaine par l'expert en sécurité réseau Arbor Networks, l'adoption de
la nouvelle norme Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) serait quasiment

migrer vers le nouveau protocole car l'actuel protocole IPv4, vieux de
20 ans, est aujourd'hui à court d'adresses.

57. 900 jours avant la pénurie d'adresses IP
Le compte-à-rebours est lancé : d'ici 3 à 5 ans, les adresses IPv4

norme.

60. Que faire face aux noms de domaine en statut "on hold" ?
J'ai une marque identique à un nom de domaine en .EU. Je ne peux pas
enregistrer le nom et ne sais pas quand il sera de nouveau disponible
