KENIC IPv6 Workshop - Letter of Information
by Vincent Ngundi 05 Jun '08

05 Jun '08

The depletion of IPv4 addresses possibly in the next 3 years will mean that more hosts cannot be connected to the Internet and this will hinder the growth of the Internet, now seen as the economic driving force of the 21st century. A solution to this is the deployment of IPv6, the Next Generation Internet (NGI), which is the new IP protocol and which provides for a much larger number of IP addresses besides enhancing Internet security and easing network management. In line with KENIC’s mandate of promoting ICT’s and building local ICT capacity, KENIC, in partnership with the Africa Network Information Centre (AfriNIC), the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), the Kenya ICT Board (KICTB) and the Telecommunication Service Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK), has organised an IPv6 Hands- on workshop to be held between the 17th and 20th of June 2008 at the Sarova Panafric Hotel in Nairobi. The purpose of the workshop is to train at least 200 local ICT professionals on among other things; · The allocation, assignment and management of Internet Protocol (IP) Number resources · IPv4 to IPv6 co-existence and transition mechanisms and · The deployment and management of the Next Generation Internet, that is IPv6 networks. To register for the workshop, kindly fill the online workshop registration form available on our website, www.kenic.or.ke, and submit the Kshs. 10,000.00 workshop fees (per participant) to our offices either by cash or company cheque (in favour of KENIC) on or before the 12th of June 2008. Requests for invoices should be sent to training(a)kenic.or.ke. You can find out more about the workshop by visiting the IPv6 workshop page on our website, www.kenic.or.ke. We hope that your organisation will utilise this opportunity and develop capacity in both IPv6 deployment and the management of IP resources.

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

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.

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?
