Bancile din Romania n-au investit in platile online
...(Revista Presei: 19/03/03)
Procesatorii virtuali de plati ridica mult costul tranzactiilor
operate de
magazinele electronice romanesti. Ca sa-ti deschizi pravalie
pe Net, in
principiu, nu ai nevoie decat de o idee buna, un calculator
performant si o
interfata atragatoare. Multi uita insa dificultatile pe care
le presupune
crearea sistemului de plata online.

Trei furnizori de Internet si televiziune prin cablu se pregatesc
sa intre,
in perioada Sarbatorilor de Pasti, pe piata de telefonie fixa,
fiind
pregatiti sa ofere clientilor peste 1,7 milioane de numere

Reprezentantii RCS&RDS, Astral Telecom si PC Net spun
ca tarifele lor vor fi
mai convenabile decit cele practicate acum pe piata si net
mai avantajoase
pentru convorbirile interurbane si internationale. (Ev. Zilei)

Ucigasii electronici
...(Evenimentul Zilei: 23/03/2003)
Armele inteligente, argument decisiv al suprematiei militare.
Razboiul din
Afganistan a permis lumii sa traga cu ochiul la cea mai noua
generatie de
armament high-tech american - dar doar atit, o privire sumara.
Potrivit noii
doctrine militare a SUA, RMA (revolutie in afacerile militare),
Pentagonul
nu numai ca a schimbat felul in care desfasoara conflicte
(interventii
rapide, coplesitoare, sub forma unei combinatii devastatoare
a tuturor
fortelor angrenate in razboi, inclusiv armamentul inteligent),
ci a operat o
modificare subtila si in rindurile contractorilor sai, creind
un nou complex
militar-industrial.

Opinii: Calculatorul personal, scos de la impozitul global
. (Revista Presei: 19/03/2003)
Pentru reducerea decalajului digital care ne separa inca de
Europa, si nu in
ultimul rand, pentru reducerea decalajului intern, extrem
de evident, dintre
zona urbana si cea rurala, acordarea unor facilitati fiscale
de catre
Ministerul Finantelor apare ca o solutie pe cat de logica,
pe atat de
eficienta, crede Valentin Negoita, director executiv al Asociatiei
de
Comunicatii prin Cablu.

Internetul, cea mai puternica arma anti-Bush

Internetul a devenit in acest moment cel mai bun loc de propagare
a
mesajelor impotriva razboiului si de intalnire a activistilor
pentru pace.
Propaganda a inceput practic imediat ce intentia lui Bush
de ataca Irakul a
devenit clara.

Does the End Justify the Means?

The University of Toronto's Internet Censorship Explorer permits
anyone with
a Web browser to test the limits of certain national and organizational
Internet-blocking schemes. Users simply enter a target URL
and a country
into a search field on the Censorship Explorer's website.
The software then
scans the ports of available servers in that country, looking
for open ones.

EU Recommendation to promote public wireless broadband services

Europe
...(Europa.eu.int: 20/03/2003)
The European Commission adopted today a recommendation that
calls upon
Member States to facilitate the use of Radio Local Area Networks
(R-LAN) for
accessing public services. The Recommendation encourages Member
States to
allow deployment of public R-LAN access networks without sector
specific
conditions and subject only to general authorisations. The
Commission
thereby implements the policy objective set by the European
Council to
foster multiple broadband access platforms in support of the
Information
Society.
