Mi piacerebbe sentire cosa ne pensa il nostro Stefano Quintarelli - e' il suo terreno (uno dei tanti). juan carlos Congestion Pricing Myths Exposed: A Guide to the ‘Bandwidth Crisis’ at AT&T (Or Anywhere Else) <http://stopthecap.com/2011/03/15/congestion-pricing-myths-exposed-a-guide-t…> Phillip Dampier March 15, 2011 Just a few days after/Broadband Reports/ broke the news <http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Exclusive-ATT-To-Impose-Caps-Overages-11…> AT&T was imposing an Internet Overcharging scheme on its broadband customers, evidence continues to arrive illustrating the company’s planned usage limits are more about protecting their U-verse video business than actually controlling “heavy users.” Dave Burstein, a well-known industry analyst who has tracked the broadband universe for years was so miffed about the nonsense <http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110314-711379.html> he was reading in the /Wall Street Journal/, he picked up the phone and called the AT&T spokesperson <http://www.dslprime.com/dslprime/42-d/4171-atats-siegal-our-dsl-network-suc…> who claimed the company was overburdened by heavy users: [...] Continua qui: http://stopthecap.com/2011/03/15/congestion-pricing-myths-exposed-a-guide-t…

NYT: "China Tightens Censorship of Electronic Communications"

March 21, 2011 China Tightens Censorship of Electronic Communications By SHARON LaFRANIERE <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/l/sharon_lafrani…> and DAVID BARBOZA <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/b/david_barboza/…> BEIJING --- If anyone wonders whether the Chinese government has tightened its grip on electronic communications since protests began engulfing the Arab world, Shakespeare may prove instructive. A Beijing entrepreneur, discussing restaurant choices with his fiancée over their cellphones last week, quoted Queen Gertrude's response to Hamlet: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." The second time he said the word "protest," her phone cut off. He spoke English, but another caller, repeating the same phrase on Monday in Chinese over a different phone, was also cut off in midsentence. A host of evidence over the past several weeks shows that Chinese authorities are more determined than ever to police cellphone calls, electronic messages, e-mail and access to the Internet in order to smother any hint of antigovernment sentiment. In the cat-and-mouse game that characterizes electronic communications here, analysts suggest that the cat is getting bigger, especially since revolts began to ricochet through the Middle East and North Africa, and homegrown efforts to organize protests in China <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/ch…> began to circulate on the Internet about a month ago.

Mah... io ne ho parlato su Wired qui http://www.dicorinto.it/testate/wired/wikileaks-sul-copyright-gli-usa-influ… fra una settimana esce un mio nuovo pezzo all'interno del nuovo mensile di Emergency (bellissimo magazine, fa concorrenza a Wired di carta...) e poi ne parleremo inevitabilmente col bravo Nicola D'Angelo (consigliere AGCOM) e credo anche con un ministro (motivi di sicurezza rendono difficile la conferma), proprio al festival del Giornalismo di Perugia (Fabio, lo so che lì ci vedremo, se vuoi portare un contributo sei benvenuto)... In ogni caso io ho aderito alla campagna sitononraggiungibile.it ciao

Fwd: FW: [medialaw] EU Court rules Council refusal of document illegitimate
by Andrea Cairola March 22, 2011

March 22, 2011

per vostra info ciao Andrea *From:* medialaw(a)yahoogroups.com [mailto:medialaw@yahoogroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Helen Darbishire *Sent:* mardi 22 mars 2011 15:18 *To:* globalmedia(a)maillist.ox.ac.uk; medialaw(a)yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [medialaw] EU Court rules Council refusal of document illegitimate General Court of the European Union rules refusal illegitimate Access Info wins case against Council on open legislative procedure *22 March 2011*: The General Court of the European Union today found that the Council of the EU wrongly refused to disclose the identity of countries taking positions on reform of the EU’s access to documents rules. Ruling on an application brought by Access Info Europe, the Court found that the Council had “*in no way demonstrated*” how publication of the country names would “*seriously undermine its decision-making process*”. The Court stated that “*If citizens are to be able to exercise their democratic rights, they must be in a position to follow in detail the decision-making process*” and that they should “*have access to all relevant information*.” Decision in *Access Info Europe v Council of the European Union*, case T-233/09 [image: file_pdf]<http://www.access-info.org/documents/T-233_09_IMPORTANT_LEGAL_NOTICE.pdf>[image: file_doc]<http://www.access-info.org/documents/T-233_09_IMPORTANT_LEGAL_NOTICE.doc>[image: odf2odt-16x16]<http://www.access-info.org/documents/T-233_09_IMPORTANT_LEGAL_NOTICE.odt>[image: html_icon]<http://www.access-info.org/documents/T-233_09_IMPORTANT_LEGAL_NOTICE.html> [image: Read More]The Council had asserted that: “*If written contributions were made fully accessible to the public … positions of the delegations [would] become entrenched, since those delegations would lose some of their ability … to justify before their public a compromise solution, which may differ from their initial position*.” [image: ECJ_0]The Court responded that “*By its nature, a proposal is designed to be discussed … not to remain unchanged …*. *Public opinion is perfectly capable of understanding that the author of a proposal is likely to amend its content subsequently*.” Countering the argument put forward by the Council that: “If delegations were deprived of the chance of having calm discussions … it would make it difficult for the Council to move the revision of the regulation forward,” the Court noted that: *“it is in the nature of democratic debate that a proposal for amendment of a draft regulation … can be subject to both positive and negative comments on the part of the public and media.”* The Court’s ruling comes a day after Access Info Europe published “*The Secret State of EU Transparency Reforms <http://www.access-info.org/>*” which demonstrates the need for greater openness in the Council if the public is to follow and participate in the EU legislative process. *“The judgment and the case illustrate that political debate is essential before legislation is adopted”*, said Helen Darbishire, Executive Director of Access Info Europe. “*This ruling means that the European public will be better informed about and have a say in the decisions that affect our everyday lives*,” For more information – in English or French - please contact: *Pam Bartlett Quintanilla*, Researcher, Access Info Europe pam(a)access-info.org | +34 699 354 215 *Helen Darbishire*, Executive Director, Access Info Europe helen(a)access-info.org | +34 667 685 319 __._,_.___ Reply to *sender*<helen.darbishire@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20EU%20Court%20rules%20Council%20refusal%20of%20document%20illegitimate>| Reply to *group*<medialaw@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20EU%20Court%20rules%20Council%20refusal%20of%20document%20illegitimate>| Reply *via web post*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medialaw/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxZTU0OGdlBF9TAzk3Mz…>| *Start a New Topic*<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medialaw/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmM2xva3ZhBF9TAzk3Mz…> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medialaw/message/1500;_ylc=X3oDMTM1ZHBpOWVlBF…>( *1*) *Recent Activity:* · *New Members<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medialaw/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJnNzlkbmlwBF9TAzk…> ** 2 * Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/medialaw;_ylc=X3oDMTJmaHFnZDRkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE…> [image: Yahoo!
