1. UK - OFT lets Sky off the hook (Guardian)
In an extraordinary about-turn, the office of fair trading has found
BSkyB not guilty of breaching competition law after a protracted
investigation that  that has dragged on for almost three years. see
Press Release.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15069.htm

2. EU - Brussels acts over TV football rights in UK (FT)
Regulators in Brussels have taken another step to shake up Europe's
market for football TV rights by taking action against the English
Premier League. The European Commission's move is set to prompt the
League's 20 clubs to change the way they sell rights for England's top
competition. The Commission believes joint selling of the rights by
the clubs "is tantamount to price-fixing" and could breach European
competition rules.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15053.htm

3. EU - Commission opens proceedings into joint selling of media
rights to the English Premier League (RAPID)
The European Commission has sent a Statement of Objections to the
English Football Association Premier League (FAPL) over the joint
selling of the media rights to Premier League matches. Joint selling
is tantamount to price-fixing, which could only be exempted if the
restrictions of competition were strictly necessary to ensure the
legitimate goals pursued by the arrangements for example solidarity
among clubs - and if they resulted in benefits for other interested
parties, in particular football fans. These same considerations have
led the Commission in June to reach a preliminary positive view on the
modified rules of UEFA for the joint selling of the media rights to
the final stages of the Champions League.

4. US - Trade groups appeal Microsoft settlement (Reuters)
Two computer industry trade groups will appeal an antitrust settlement
with Microsoft that was endorsed by a federal judge. The Computer and
Communications Industry Association and the Software and Information
Industry Association said they had filed with the U.S. District Court
for the District of Columbia, announcing their intention to appeal.

5. DE - Erfolg für "Polizeistreife im Web" (Heise)
Die Aufdeckung des mutmaßlichen Täters im so genannten Kannibalismus-
Fall von Rotenburg wertet das Bundeskriminalamt als Beleg für den
Erfolg der "Streife im Internet". Jeden Tag surfen rund 20 Beamte
durchs Internet und suchen unabhängig vom Anlass nach möglichen
Straftatbeständen. Bund und Länder haben die Zentralstelle für
anlassunabhängige Recherche in Datennetzen (ZaRD) vor vier Jahren nach
dem zunehmenden Onlineverkehr gegründet.

6. UK - Fifty police officers held over child porn (Reuters)
Thirty-four men have been arrested in dawn raids in the biggest-ever
assault against child pornography by London police as part of a
nationwide crackdown on users of Internet paedophilia sites. More than
250 officers swooped on homes around the capital in the latest phase
of Operation Ore, which has resulted in 1,300 arrests nationwide,
including 50 police officers.

7. UK - ITC Multi-channel Quarterly (Press Release)
The quarterly ITC Cable Statistics has been replaced with the ITC
Multi-channel Quarterly. This new report has been expanded to include

8. US - Online sexual predator task force nets nine arrests (AP)
Agents posing as a 14-year-old girl have arrested nine men on charges
of surfing the Internet to find and lure minors for sex over the last
18 months.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15095.htm

9. FI - Finnish cable axes porn (Europemedia)
Three cable-TV stations in Finland, who have been showing late-night
porn for the past four years, have all decided to cancel these shows.
However, part of their downfall has been the fact that companies are
not happy about advertising during these time slots. The other main
influence appears to be the country's political climate at present,
which is tending toward conservatism as Finland heads toward general
elections in March.

10. FI - Proposed law raises controversy over freedom of expression on

12. US - TV industry girds for deregulation showdown (Reuters)
Key players in the entertainment industry declared war on each other,
as Washington gets set to loosen media ownership rules and allow
another tidal wave of media consolidation.  After weeks of huddling in
secret, opposing sides revealed their battle plans in thousands of
pages of documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission,
center of the action. see also Washington Post and FCC Should Retain,
Strengthen Media Ownership Safeguards (Center for Digital Democracy).

13. Australian Copyright 2002 (Baker & McKenzie)
by Anne Flahvin. 2002 has been a year for major case law development.
The Australian Federal Court has rendered three important judgments
interpreting and applying the Copyright Act. In Desktop Marketing v
Telstra it considered whether anything more than labor and expense is
necessary to satisfy the requirement of "originality" for copyright
protection in the White Pages and Yellow Pages telephone directories.
In Channel Nine v Network Ten it considered the question: "what is a
broadcast?" And in Kabushiki Sony Computer Entertainment v Stevens it
considered whether a mod-chip to override the regional access code on
Sony PlayStations was a device to circumvent copyright protection.
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15096.htm

14. Critics Fear Broadcast Flag Would Stomp on Consumer Rights (AP)
If Hollywood gets its way, future broadcasts of digital television
will not only have crisp video and sound but also invisible data to
block unauthorized sharing.  The "broadcast flag" is promoted by
content owners as the least intrusive way to keep consumers from
illegally redistributing copyright works. Digital TV technology, they
say, can finally take off once popular movies and shows can be safely
broadcast without fear of Internet piracy.

15. Intellectual Property on the Internet: A Survey of Issues (WIPO)
This report addresses the far-reaching impact that digital
technologies - the Internet in particular -  have had on intellectual
property (IP) and the international IP system.

16. US - The "Do Not Call" Registry (FTC)
The Federal Trade Commission has amended the Telemarketing Sales Rule
(TSR) to give consumers a choice about whether they want to receive
most telemarketing calls. Consumers soon will be able to put their
phone numbers on a national  do not call registry. It will be illegal
for most telemarketers to call a number listed on the registry.

17. ICANN - Interview : Stuart Lynn, le président de l'Icann (Le
Monde)
Stuart Lynn, le président de l'Icann (Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers) quittera ses fonctions en mars 2003. Il
laisse une réforme inachevée et de nombreux détracteurs pour qui cet
universitaire symbolise la tentation hégémonique américaine sur
l'Internet. Il s'explique sur son action, mais donne également son
avis sur les grands sujets du moment
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15061.htm

18. ICANN to approve new domains (Reuters)
The group that oversees the Internet's traffic system plans to approve
a host of new address suffixes to join the likes of .com and .org in
the coming year. But most Internet users will not be able to register
Web site names in the new domains, as they will be limited to
organizations in specific fields such as health care. The precise
number and names of the domains will be determined by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in early 2003. see
Preliminary Report - Fourth Annual Meeting of the ICANN Board in
Amsterdam  (ICANN).
http://www.qlinks.net/items/qlitem15077.htm

19. US - Domain manager settles class-action suit (Reuters)
Managers of the .biz Internet domain have agreed to pay roughly $1.2
million to settle charges that their system for handing out hot names
such as "www.show.biz" amounted to an illegal lottery.  Most of the
settlement will go to cover attorneys' fees, as NeuLevel has already
sent millions of refunds to customers who paid an average of $5 for a
chance to win control of desirable names such as "computer.biz" when
the new domain was opened to the public. The firm had hoped that the
system would discourage frivolous registrations and help it cope with
an expected land rush as Internet users sought to stake out territory
in the new domain.

20. US - Bush OKs law to put government information online (Associated
Press)
President Bush signed legislation aimed at improving online access to
government information and services. ., the legislation establishes a
new Office of E-government within the White House's Office of
Management and Budget to oversee government-wide efforts. The measure
also requires regulatory agencies to conduct administrative rule-
makings on the Internet and federal courts to post information and
opinions on their Web sites; provides for temporary exchanges of
information technology workers to government from the private sector;
and authorizes "share-in savings" contracts, in which contractors
provide upfront technology and are paid out of some of the savings
they reap for their federal agency customers.

21. Professors Vie With Web for Class's Attention (New York Times)
Universities are rushing toward a wireless future, installing networks
that let students and the faculty surf the Internet from laptop
computers in the classroom, in the library or by those ponds that
always seem to show up on the cover of the campus brochure.  But
professors say the technology poses a growing challenge for them:
retaining their students' attention.

22. UK - Sellafield workers sacked for emails (Guardian)
Eleven workers at a nuclear power station have been sacked for sending
"inappropriate material" by email, British Nuclear Fuels has said.

23. Perspective: Do-gooders will wreck the Internet (CNET.com)
By Charles Cooper . The do-gooders have found a new cause for 2003:
Saving the Internet from the private interests intent on mucking up
the cyberlandscape. Considering that 40 percent of all U.S. citizens
have been online for more than three years and that most are able to
find the information they seek when surfing the Web, that's a curious
cause.  One of the most articulate and forceful examples of the
something-must-be-done mind-set was recently served up by Zoe Baird,
president of the Markle Foundation.

24. US - Whatever Happened to Leaving the Internet Unregulated? (Cato
Institute)
It seems like everybody's got a plan to tame the freewheeling Internet
these days. The technology and telecommunications sectors of the
American economy are increasingly under assault at the local, state,
federal, and international levels. Republicans and Democrats alike are
looking for ways to regulate everything from privacy to porn, while
simultaneously seeking ways to subsidize access.

25. US - "Total Information Awareness" and other anti-terrorism
strategies for the Internet (Findlaw)
by Anita Ramasastry.  During 2003, we are likely to see the
development of two new government initiatives to use computer
technology in terrorism prevention. Each will give the government
greater access to Internet data.  One relates to a new federal
network-monitoring center, described in the government's September
draft of its National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. The other is the
Orwellian sounding Information Awareness Office, which will be engaged
in a project aimed at "Total Information Awareness." Both are cause
for concern..

26. US - Tech's answer to Big Brother (News.com)
by Declan McCullagh. Why is everyone so surprised that the U.S.
government wants to create a Total Information Awareness database with
details about everything you do? This is an unsurprising result of
having so much information about our lives archived on the computers
of our credit card companies, our banks, our health insurance
companies and government agencies.

27. Global file swapper eludes pursuers (MSNBC)
Unlike Napster, Kazaas multinational nature defies attacks . Lawyers

jurisdiction."

28. UK - Internet libel law shake-up urged (BBC)
An urgent shake-up of British libel law is needed to protect free
speech on the internet, according to a new report. Businesses are
increasingly using legal threats against Internet Service Providers
(ISP) to close down websites set up by angry customers or protest
groups, the Law Commission found. see Defamation and the Internet: A

29. EU - Phone chief warns on 3G delay (BBC)
Europe's hard-pressed mobile phone operators have a long wait ahead of
them before their massive investments in next-generation mobiles bear
fruit, the European Union's top telecoms official has warned. In an
interview with German news magazine Focus, Enterprise and Information
Society Commissioner Erkki Liikanen warned that a boom in 3G phone
sales was unlikely before 2008.

30. ITU - Wi-Fi spectrum battle pits antiterrorism efforts against
commercial growth (Computerworld)
The U.S. Department of Defense has played the antiterrorist and rogue
state card in its attempts to restrict the use of wireless LANs,
including those already operating in the lower portion of the 5-GHz
band, according to engineers and analysts. The Pentagon is concerned
about the ability of military radar to detect terrorist vehicles as
well as stealth aircraft or missiles operated by foreign powers in the
face of WLAN interference.

31. UK - Edinburgh - Pictures of children banned (ITV)
Council bosses have banned parents from filming and taking photographs
at school concerts in a bid to crack down on paedophiles. Education
chiefs at Edinburgh City Council introduced the unique guidelines
after hearing how paedophiles across the UK had been caught in
possession of photos and videos of school plays. Now, any mother or
father wanting to record their children in nativity plays and
pantomimes have to seek the permission of every child in the class.

32. DE - Court orders immediate ban on Nazi Web site (IDG)
The German state government of North Rhine Westphalia (NRW) has won
one battle in its efforts to ban Web sites carrying neo-Nazi content,
but has yet to win the war. The administrative court in Arnsberg,
Germany, ordered an ISP (Internet service provider) to immediately
block access to objectionable sites. The ISP, whose name is being
withheld, filed a lawsuit earlier in the year against the state
government's ban, which was initiated in February.

33. EU - New Ratings system in Europe (Nintelligent Network)
Consumers in the UK and throughout Europe will soon see the appearance
of new age ratings and symbols on computer and video games, whether
bought at retail or accessed online. This will give parents, shoppers
and online consumers added confidence that the content of the game,
whether it is bought at a high street retail outlet, or accessed via
the internet, is suitable for a specific age group. The development is
significant in that it is the first time that any form of
entertainment medium has come up with an age rating system that meets
the varying cultural standards of different European countries. see

34. AU - ABA releases tips for chatting safely online (Press Release)
The Australian Brodacasting Authority has released a brochure
containing safety tips for using Internet chat rooms. The ability to
keep in touch with friends and make new ones is one of the main
reasons children and young people will go online over the coming
school holidays. This is usually a fun and rewarding experience but,
as in the real world, it's not without some risks. The chat safety

37. Korean Housewives Want Speedy Net (Wired)
South Korea is busy proving that the discredited telecommunications
industry mantra, "Build it and they will come," might have life in it
yet.  With a population of 48 million, South Korea has a formidable
position as the world's broadband Internet leader, far outstripping
the United States and Europe. As of last month, 10 million Koreans --
which equates to 70 percent of households -- had home broadband

Zwischen 1995 und 2000 fand die explosionsartige Entwicklung der

zu einer Entgrenzung des geregelten Karriereweges. Doch dann fiel fast
ebenso schnell wie entstanden die Branche wieder in sich zusammen. Die
