Register begins, "ICANN made a serious public relations push about its
long-standing attempts to implement Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) the
week prior to the October ICANN meeting, and the initial public test results
are in." The articles note the Chinese account for 40% of all beta
testers, followed somewhat behind by Russian-speakers "at a relatively
feeble 13 per cent."</span></font></p>

Instead, it's the epicenter of a brand new patch of cyber real estate soon to

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Since the beginning of this century, the robust growth of broadband
access technology and service has pushed the development of the Internet in China onto a
fast track. By September 2007, China's
Internet subscribers had grown to 172 million, with a penetration rate of 13
percent. Thanks to the open access policy adopted by the government, the number
of Internet service providers has been increasing dramatically in the past few
years, reaching 14,446 by June 2007, among which 9,791 are service providers
based on mobile Internet. Internet-related revenue, already totalling more than
100 billion yuan, is growing by 35 percent annually. Telecom carriers are
mainly engaged in providing Internet access and information service, IDC and
WAP services. The size of China's
Internet market amounts to approximately 30 billion yuan, or about 9 percent of
the country's total telecom revenue. ... Today, there are 65,000 WAP websites
with independent domain names operating in China. About 4!</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> 4.3 million people, or 27.3 percent of Internet subscribers, are using

phone subscribers and 38.3 percent penetration rate, the Internet and mobile
Internet have tremendous potentials in China.</span></font></p>

a legal framework for use made of its data. As part of this framework it will
soon be proposing: "A relaxing of the conditions for resolving anonymity
of holders who are physical persons." Aware that the current system for
protecting individuals' personal data could be perceived as a hindrance to the
rightful owner's attempt to protect himself/herself from abusive registrations,
the AFNIC is developing its procedure for resolving anonymity. The AFNIC will
continue to protect individuals' personal data, but it will soon be possible to
ask AFNIC to reveal the identity and details of a person who has registered a
.fr domain name.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The .mobi domain has been established for about 18 months now, and aims
to specifically address sites for the mobile web. Of course mobiles have very
specific needs, in that the screen is small and data can be expensive. Data can
also be slow, unless you have the latest 3G HSDPA features in your phone, and
are in a coverage area. So .mobi sites should fit into the size constraints
(especially screen width) and minimize the graphical content, to speed up
access.</span></font></p>

quarters over the continued rise of the practice of domain tasting, and firms
were urged to tightly manage their domain name portfolios. Lesley Cowley, chief
executive of Nominet, predicted the UK top-level domain would reach 10
million subscribers next year, but she added that trust and security would
increasingly be differentiators for registrars as they seek to retain
customers.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Among the many things the Internet has added recently to contemporary
life, there is this: Many grown-ups now sound like babbling toddlers when
speaking about the digital world -- because many corporate names now have the
ring of a collection of Dr. Seuss characters. Friends tell friends about the
hot new videos on Bebo and Joost, or Hulu and Revver. They buy movie tickets on
Fandango, trade songs on Kazaa and find amusing news items on Fark. Zug is a
comedy site, Yelp is a review site, Woozyfly a music-sharing site. Zune? Not a
Web site at all, but rather a music player.</span></font></p>

headed for cyber 'cold war'</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Government and military computer systems in the UK are coming under sustained attack from China and other
countries, a major new study gives warning today. The closely-read annual
Virtual Criminology Report, which draws on interviews with senior staff at
organisations including the Serious Organised Crime Agency, Nato and the FBI,
says that the UK
has entered a "cyber cold war" in which web-based espionage poses
the biggest threat to national security. It envisages a future where rogue
governments and criminal gangs regularly target the computer systems that run
electricity, air traffic control, financial markets and Government computer
networks. </span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cyberattackers have hijacked thousands of search terms on Google,

thousands of pages created to obtain high search-engine ranking – is
unprecedented, according to researchers from Sunbelt Software.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A "cyber cold war" is developing as international web
espionage and cyber-attacks become the biggest threats to internet security,

government-allied groups were engaging in increasingly sophisticated cyber
spying, with many attacks originating from China. Some 120 countries could be
developing the capacity for such activities.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Personal computer giant Dell Inc. is pursuing a major
"cybersquatting" lawsuit against several companies that buy and sell
Web site addresses, alleging that the entities earned millions of dollars from
Internet traffic intended for Dell and dozens of other Fortune 500 companies.
In a case quietly filed with the U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in
October and unsealed last Wednesday, Dell took aim at a stable of registrars --
companies that are licensed to register and sell new domain names to the public
-- allegding that they are responsible for registering and profiting off of
nearly 1,100 domains that were "confusingly similar" to Dell's
various trademarks.</span></font></p>

voluti secoli e secoli di discussioni, a partire da un dibattito inaugurato nel

Guerra Mondiale. Quanto ci vorrà, invece, per l'Internet Bill of Rights,
l'encomiabile proposta di una Costituzione dei diritti dell'uomo
nell'era elettronica, rilanciata all'ultimo incontro
dell'Internet Governance Forum di Rio (qui la dichiarazione finale in
pdf)? Difficile dirlo.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hoy día, el dominio constituye una carta de presentación para millones
de usuarios y empresas que se mueven en Internet, bien como meros usuarios o
bien desarrollando su actividad profesional y/o empresarial. El dominio es por
tanto, el elemento diferenciador con respecto a los demás usuarios, empresas o
productos, pero también, constituye nuestra dirección en la red, siendo la
forma más sencilla de localizarnos en Internet: "si no estás, no
existes".</span></font></p>
