The explosive idea of forcing Internet providers to record their customers' online activities for future police access is gaining ground in state capitols and in Washington, D.C.
Top Bush administration officials have endorsed the concept, and some members of the U.S. Congress have said federal legislation is needed to aid law enforcement investigations into child pornography. A bill is already pending in the Colorado State Senate.
Mandatory data retention requirements worry privacy advocates because they permit police to obtain records of e-mail chatter, Web browsing or chat-room activity that normally would have been discarded after a few months. And some proposals would require providers to retain data that ordinarily never would have been kept at all.

FCC Chief: AT&T Can Limit Net Bandwidth
By Preston Gralla
FCC Chief Kevin Martin yesterday gave his support to AT&T and other telcos who want to be able to limit bandwidth to sites like Google, unless those sites pay extortion fees. Martin made it clear in a speech yesterday that he supports such a a "tiered" Internet.
Martin told attendees at the TelecomNext show that telcos should be allowed to charge web sites whatever they want if those sites want adequate bandwidth.
He threw in his lot with AT&T, Verizon, and the other telcos, who are no doubt salivating at the prospect at charging whatever the market can bear.

Developing countries demand share of control;
US says urge to censor underlies calls for reform
by Richard Wray
A battle has erupted over who governs the internet, with America demanding to maintain a key role in the network it helped create and other countries demanding more control.
The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the internet will split apart.
At issue is the role of the US government in overseeing the internet's address structure, called the domain name system (DNS), which enables communication between the world's computers. It is managed by the California-based, not-for-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) under contract to the US department of commerce.
A meeting of officials in Geneva last month was meant to formulate a way of sharing internet governance which politicians could unveil at the UN-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis on November 16-18. A European Union plan that goes a long way to meeting the demands of developing countries to make the governance more open collapsed in the face of US opposition.

In the <a href=http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/gr-watch1.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82GGFoverview>first installment of the "Grid Watch" column, I gave you a brief overview of the Global Grid Forum (GGF). Now I'll turn my attention to grid architecture, a topic I find extremely hard to talk about. It's not that I think architecture is boring or unnecessary. Quite the contrary. It's just a huge, rambling, complex topic, and my job here is to pick out <a href=http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/grid/library/gr-watch2.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82GridArchGGF>what's important to the developer community without getting too lost in the weeds.
Two major needs have dramatically increased the value of the concept of grid computing in the last few years. A lean economy has forced those with a limited IT budget to more fully utilize their existing computing assets and to become more flexible to respond to rapidly evolving markets by being able to intelligently allocate finite resources to the appropriate business applications. <a href=http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/grid/library/gr-heritage/?ca=dgr-lnxw82GridNextGen>In this first of a series of articles, the author provides a cursory analysis of the similarities and differences between grid computing and such distributed computing systems as P2P, CORBA, cluster computing, and DCE.
An information grid gives users and applications secure access to any information anywhere over any type of network. This article defines the term "<a href=http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/gr-infogrid.html?ca=dgr-lnxw82InfoGrid>information grid" and shows that it is a core component of the grid computing model and outlines potential problems and the means of solving them in a distributed environment.
