Armor warns the rate of attack seems to be picking up with 15 new ransomware victims in the last two weeks, all of them educational institutions. From the report <https://circleid.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=71b27c0808a16ff6f58bfc4…>: — *Since January 2019, Armor has identified a total of 49 educational institutions and/or school districts that have publicly announced ransomware attacks.* "These attacks have potentially affected 500 K-12 schools. Since January, Armor has identified 182 ransomware victims in the U.S., including schools, municipalities, law enforcement agencies and healthcare networks. Out of the 182 victim organizations in 2019 in the U.S., educational institutions (49) make up the second largest pool of victims, after municipalities (70), followed by healthcare (27)." — *"Cybercriminals know* these organizations can't afford to shut down, they are often using out of date hardware and software, and they have few security measures in place. This is a deadly combination in the case of a ransomware attack, which provides for a high sense of urgency and a high probability of large payments."

The court, however, upheld the 2017 repeal of net neutrality laws. David Shepardson reporting <https://circleid.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=71b27c0808a16ff6f58bfc4…> in Reuters: "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said the Federal Communications Commission erred when it declared that states cannot pass their own net neutrality laws and ordered the agency to review some key aspects of its 2017 repeal of rules set by the Obama administration. But it left open the possibility the FCC could seek to block state efforts on a case-by-case basis. The court also found that the FCC acted properly when it overturned a 2015 decision..."

Congressional antitrust investigators say Google could use the new protocol to gain more significant competitive advantage by making access to consumer data harder for others. In a letter issued this month, the Journal reports investigators for the House Judiciary Committee have requested more information from Google on the "decision regarding whether to adopt or promote the adoption" of the protocol claimed to improve Internet security. — *Google has denied* the accusations stating in an emailed statement: "Google has no plans to centralize or change people's DNS providers to Google by default. Any claim that we are trying to become the centralized encrypted DNS provider is inaccurate." — *"We knew this was a controversial* topic within the smallish Internet technical community, but were not quite prepared for it to blossom into a front-page-of-a-national-newspaper kind of a debate," writes <https://circleid.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=71b27c0808a16ff6f58bfc4…> Milton Mueller today in response to the report. He notes: "this is not a Justice Department antitrust probe, it is initiated by a congressional committee that is known for being rather political."

Wi-Fi has become so ubiquitous in our lives that it's hard to believe that it's only been twenty years since all broadband connections came with wires. In 1999 most people were still using dial-up, and that's the year when early adapters started buying DSL. I remember having incredibly long phone cords so that I could use my laptop at different places around the house.

It was organised around four angles: technique, competition, society and human rights and; future research. One thing became extremely clear: no one contested that consolidation is taking place nor that this already has and will have an impact on the Internet and consecutively on society.

And the problems, thanks to ICANN's overly restrictive policy post-GDPR and a failing policy process, are piling up.

Earlier this year there were 378 undersea fiber cables in place that stretch over 745,000 miles. Here's an interactive map that shows all of the cables... What's most intriguing about the map is that there are a few cities around the world where numerous cables terminate.

Draft Rules-Communications and Multimedia Appeals Tribunal
by Dr. Margaret Nyambura Ndung'u 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Dear listers , The Communications and Multimedia Appeals Tribunal is established under the Kenya Information and Communications [Amendment] Act of 2013. It has an overarching disputes settlement role between parties in the entire communications and multimedia sector with both original jurisdiction to adjudicate first instance disputes upon complaints as well as Appellant to determine appeals from decisions of regulators and service providers in the telecoms sector in order to protect the rights of service providers or consumers and promote harmony in the telecoms sector. The Tribunal is in the process of regulating its proceedings and in order to do so, the tribunal has formulated draft rules, procedures and prepared forms to operate more effectively. Once validated by the stakeholders, the Tribunal will be instrumental in decongesting matters currently handled by the High Court because of lack of sensitization amongst its stakeholders on where to file. Kindly find attached the drafts rules for your comments. A public notification was in today's paper. For further enquiries, please contact Ms. Mercy Mwirigi: Secretariat, Appeals Tribunal on Email: memwirigi(a)gmail.com or Mobile No. 0721863496 Rgrds, Nyambura
