Germany
Wants Big Business to Help Win Hacker War The German Government is to
seek the help of the private sector in its bid to improve security on the web.
Arizona
governor vetoes cyberdefense bill Despite a veto of an Arizona cybersecurity
law by Gov. Jane Hull, one proponent of the legislation, which some said could
serve as a national model, thinks he will ultimately prevail. Rep.
Bob Barr, Others Challenge House Bill To Reduce Junk E-Mail A bill seeking
to criminalize unsolicited commercial e-mail ran into trouble in a House committee
as business leaders and lawmakers declared their opposition to the legislation.
Wandering
Around at I-World Berlin's Internet World keeps growing and growing. But
that's just in size. In terms of interest and buzz, well, it's seen better days.
IT
training tax-credit bill filed in the House A bill sent to the U.S. House
of Representatives today mirrors one filed in the U.S. Senate that would give
businesses and workers a tax credit of $1,500 for IT training. European
eCommerce Barriers While there are countless factors playing into why
European e-commerce lags behind the US, analyst Nevin Cohen is most alarmed by
the disparity in IT investments. Both
sides pleased with DVD oral arguments Combatants on either side of the
legal battle over DVD-encryption said that they were pleased with oral arguments
before a federal appeals court. State
CIOs launch online government marketplace An organization of state CIOs
is building an online exchange to promote the reuse of components when building
applications. Committee
Approves Tauzin-Dingell Broadband Bill Although statistically a win for
Billy Tauzin, committee chairman and John Dingell, the two sponsors of the bill,
a key amendment struck down in a tie vote at the session showed that support for
the bill is going to be an uphill affair. Beware
of Predatory HIPAA Consultants Complex regulations in the health care
industry have forced IT managers to carefully manage their relationship with consultants.
MusicNet
Warbles in Washington It wasn't exactly a battle of the bands, but two
forces in the music industry squared off in Congress, with digital music publishers
arguing for changes in copyright laws and the record labels and artists arguing
against any modifications. Health
care groups to review telecommuting policies Privacy and security regulations
that would require health care organizations to perform a complete operations
overhaul will include a review of telecommuting policies. Canada:
The great tech north? Wanted: U.S. tech companies to migrate north to
Canada. Perks include good scenery, low cost of living and lower taxes. Canada
also has plenty of electricity. House
Subcommittee Questions Need For Compulsory License Seeking to impress
lawmakers with their newfound friendship and a brand new technology, digital music
providers and record companies asked a House subcommittee to consider a proposal
to extend current copyright law to include streaming online music and content.
New
Zealand government to bring legislation online The New Zealand government
has moved forward with a project that will make all New Zealand legislation available
to the public online, for free. Experts
Promote Legalization of Internet Gambling in Nevada The state of Nevada
would earn substantial tax revenue from the regulation of Internet gambling, according
to some experts who monitor online gambling. Music
Licensing Battle Hits DC RealNetworks says Congress should force music
publishers to let songs be purchased online. But the copyright owners say the
Feds should back off, and politicians seem to agree. Senators
call for addition of federal CIO Two U.S. senators, joined by a group
of 10 co-sponsors, filed legislation that proposes the creation of a federal CIO
who would be responsible for all of the government's IT operations. Users
Mold Security Benchmark The problem with IT security benchmarks is that
the reference point is a constantly shifting target as new technologies and threats
emerge. WAA
Releases First Batch of Mobile Ad Standards The largest wireless advertising
group took tentative steps toward addressing problems of standardization and definitions
in mobile media Interpol
