House Subcommittee Told FCC Action Poses a Threat to GPS, PRNewswire
A representative of a founding member of the Coalition to Save Our GPS
told a House subcommittee today that a recent action by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) could cause "consequences of
disruption" to the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) that will be "far
reaching, likely to affect large portions of the population and the
federal government."

'Coalition To Save Our GPS' Takes Aim At Lightsquared - Urges FCC To
Pull New Spectrum Condition Waiver, dslreports
In a letter last January, the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration informed the FCC that Lightsquared's hybrid
LTE/satellite network may interfere with global satellite systems for
navigation, aeronautical emergency communications systems and
receivers used by Federal agencies. US Air Force Space Command and
General William Shelton also recently expressed concerns about
interference, going so far as to call potential problems
"unbelievable" while suggesting the FCC should "do the right thing"
and pull Lightsquared's licenses.

Web Startups Want An Open Internet -- House Republicans Don't, Huff
Veer and Vinay Gidwaney are the kind of people that House Republicans

are just the kind of startups and small business creators that members

IPv6 Percolates, IPv4 Regurgitates, Circleid
APNIC happened to be the first Regional Internet Registry to meet in
the IANA post IPv4 era. While discussions and proposals on how to
divvy up the last 'slash 8' into tinier blocks are to be expected, it
was rather unreal to see the energy spent divining how the RIR's would
share IPv4 space that would eventually be returned to IANA and then
regurgitated. A timewarp with the exhaustion clock turning backwards?

Beware of Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Scams, MSISAC

individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions purportedly
for a charitable organization and/or a good cause.

The Web Reacts to a Tsunami, Digital Frontiers VOA
Friday morning's historic 8.9 magnitude earthquake off the eastern

coastline, set the Internet into overdrive across the entire Pacific

Japan Quake, Renesys
Today's 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan has had surprisingly limited
impacts on the structure and routing dynamics of the regional
Internet. Of roughly 6,000 Japanese network prefixes in the global
routing table, only about 100 were temporarily withdrawn from service
— and that number has actually decreased in the hours since the event.
Other carriers around the region have reported congestion and drops in
traffic due to follow-on effects of the quake, but most websites are
up and operational, and the Internet is available to support critical
communications.
