Facebook information should be regulated, survey says
by alice 05 Jun '08

Facebook information should be regulated, survey says http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jun/05/privacy.socialnetworking · Nine out of 10 say rules should govern social sites · Press watchdog could expand internet remit * Bobbie Johnson, technology correspondent * The Guardian, * Thursday June 5 2008 * Article history Nine out of 10 people think there should be tighter regulation of information on social networking websites, according to new research. A survey found that most Britons believe sites such as Facebook and MySpace should be covered by rules that would help ordinary people complain about intrusive material posted online. Currently each of the major social networking sites operates under its own set of terms and conditions. However, 89% of those surveyed by the Press Complaints Commission said there should be a set of widely accepted rules to help prevent personal information - such as private photographs - being abused. Sir Christopher Meyer, the chairman of the PCC, said there was an "unprecedented scale" of information being put on to social networks, and suggested members of the public needed help to deal with problems that arise as a result. "There is a need for public awareness about what can happen to information once it is voluntarily put into the public domain," he said. Although just 8% of those surveyed said they had been embarrassed by information about them published on a social network, many more were more concerned about the implications: 78% said they would change the information they put online if they thought it would be reproduced by mainstream media. The potential for abuse of private information online has become an increasing concern, not only among those worried about criminal activity, but also because such data is increasingly used by the media. Last year, in the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting spree which left 33 dead, a number of media organisations were criticised for "digital doorstepping" of victims and their families using Facebook. Spokesmen for the major social networks did not respond to requests for comment yesterday, but in the past they have rejected the idea that they should police their sites beyond the boundaries already covered by the law. The survey comes as the PCC seeks to expand its role as the lines between different forms of media continue to blur. The organisation already oversees internet and video content produced by newspaper organisations, though the commission's director, Tim Toulmin, has stated that he is not in favour of internet regulation. Suggestions that the PCC would be the best body to oversee a social networking code of conduct are likely to cause controversy, particularly since it has been accused of caving in to the interests of the newspaper industry. It recently came in for criticism for retaining Daily Express editor Peter Hill as a board member, despite his newspaper being forced to pay £560,000 to the family of Madeleine McCann over a series of false allegations. Hill finally left the commission in May. Some experts suggested it would prove beneficial to bring some form of light self-regulation to the internet, but questioned whether there was a real consensus on what "intrusive" really meant. "If you take pictures and put them on Facebook, you've deliberately surrendered your privacy," said Charlie Beckett, the director of Polis, a journalism thinktank at the London School of Economics. The survey, conducted by Ipsos Mori, was compiled from the answers of 1,000 British people aged 16 to 64.

Hey Fred, thanx for your last minute pitch on this. You and a few others have really kept the session up with your insights. At one time I actaully considered resigning because of the 'silent' majority ;-). Anyhow, I would like to 'officially' close this session and hope you will be there for future discussion. A report on the same will be floated on the list within 2weeks, after which we shall consider announcing a date for the next discussion. thanx all, now we can catch up with a commercial break - Safaricom's free call offers visa-vis Celtel's 3Bob offer? CCKs new DG? Safaricom's IPO -who got what? Telkom Kenya got a new MD? Who wants to shut down the Vernacular Radio Stations? Is there a new law/regulation on SIM card registration? 3G mobile wireless - is it pornography on the move? TEAMs project - where have we reached?

Re: [kictanet] [Skunkworks] 3G prepaid service and tariff - fyi - but get the info confirmed for yourself
by Gakuru , Alex 30 May '08

3G over-enthusiasm wont last long? if were an excited user and lets say downloaded these videos < http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/igf_interviews_2007.xhtml> Assuming each one is 250 MB, then Safaricom would make about kshs 65,772/= poorer (than I already am). Is it worth it? No! not at shs 12.60/MB. Maths (shs 12.60/MB *18*250 + 16% VAT) Note: Before telcom hiked 128/64 ADSL card to 9,200/= per month, it used to cost 5,600/=. It is possible to download 18 videos in 1 month;) >> at 56,700/= Safaricom internet price is like 1,000% of early last year's ADSL price. Not costs worth celebrating much over. Internet costs keep rising instead of falling "with competition" and the companies cause more poverty than prosperity for Africa. prove me wrong!

Most data wireless technologies ( except 3G ) to become obsolete when kenya gets undersea fiber?
by aki 30 May '08

30 May '08

Firstly, a definate congratulations to safarciom for the bold 3G step forward and the vision of the future. Well done! And to the visionaries in cable operator companies such as KDN, JTL, TKL, you have set the destiny for kenya. Your planning for the future is on track. Now onto the issue about all wireless technologies becoming obsolete with the arrival of the undersea fiber. I believe these technologies will become a hinderance to internet growth in plenty parts of the country. End users may need to be more informed about the ROI on these technologies as the date for the undersea fiber nears : I list my points below : 1) For household broadband adsl services, can the technologies deliver 8Mbit/2Mbit services? 2) For business adsl and broadband services, can the technologies deliver 10-100Mbit services? 3) Do the base stations have the capacities to sustain large gigabit connectivity? 4) Are all the base stations inter-connected via fiber? 5) Those base stations that have microwave inter-connections, are there any planned upgrades to gigabit and above? 6) To keep continuation of the wireless business, will the providers become bottlenecks to end users? 7) Will cheaper backbone rates become expensive due to local loop costs? I think the future of internet distribution will revert to fiber to dslams' and copper to end users in the early stages with wireless as redundancy. Does the regulator have measures in place to discourage service providers from becoming hinderances? To encourage takeup of capacity, discourage backward trends due to older technologies and accelerate internet infrastructure growth, what would be the short terms and longer term policies ? Your comments/corrections are welcome. Thank you. Aki.
