"Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak
just because a baby can't chew it." Mark Twain
[TPRC] My take on politics and isen.blog, isen.blog,
9/20/2005
At TPRC over the last weekend, former FCC Chairman
Reed Hundt debated former FCC Chairman Dick Wiley.
Hundt was overtly political. It was absolutely clear
where he stood. Wiley was significantly more opaque;
often it was clear what he was against, but it was
hard to understand what he was for. Hundt wore it on
his sleeve -- he was all over the Republican Congress
for everything from Telecom malfeasance to Energy pork
to FEMA follies to Iraq idiocy to Global Warming to US
unilateralism and decline. Wiley kept it to telecom,
and even then he did not want to say very much.

Permanent, Temporary Barriers Interfering With
Pakistan's Internet, Ecommerce Times, 9/20/2005
This weekend's mass service outage, though troubling,
is being overshadowed by the Government of Pakistan's
pursuit of permanent restrictions on Internet use in
order to raise revenue for the government-owned
telephone company there. Consumers in Pakistan were
reportedly hit hard by the recent outage, along with
high tech firms that do not qualify for preferential
satellite backup links, but a lack of critical
infrastructure in the country, combined with the
government's efforts to limit Internet use, may bar
the maturing of Pakistan's IT industry much more than
any temporary glitch.

Senate Passes PATRIOT, Adds Civil Liberties

The Senate approved an amended version of the Patriot

Although the measure, which was approved last week by
the Senate Judiciary Committee, does not go as far
toward restoring checks and balances as CDT would
like, it contains important reforms and is a better
bill for civil liberties than the bill approved by the
House of Representatives in July. CDT has drafted a
memo detailing the key provisions of, and differences
between, the two measures.
