Why Wikileaks polarizes America's Internet politics <http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=52198140&f=175425&u=11399627&c=3931817>

At IGP we pride ourselves on having a pretty good bead on internet governance issues, but we have to admit that the emergence of Wikileaks as a global governance issue took us by surprise. The internet has proven itself to be a source of political disruption in a way we did not anticipate.

Why ICANN should ignore the NTIA's letter <http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=52117246&f=175425&u=11399627&c=3931817>

Like a clinging, overbearing parent, the U.S. Commerce Department just can’t seem to let go of ICANN. Yesterday Lawrence Strickling, the Assistant Secretary in charge of the NTIA, sent a stern letter to the ICANN’s CEO in an attempt to dictate the course of domain name policy. Strickling called for yet another delay in the implementation of new top level domains because - incredibly - he claims that the issue hasn’t been studied enough! Strickling thus ignores ten years of research, deliberation and debate both inside and outside ICANN – some of it commissioned by the Commerce Department itself. Here's a little bedtime reading to bring Strickling and the rest of the NTIA up to speed on the ongoing debate over the economic implications of new top level domains.

How to discredit net neutrality <http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=52117247&f=175425&u=11399627&c=3931817>

On Tuesday (November 30) Internet backbone provider Level3 publicly accused cable-based ISP Comcast of trying to thwart competing video services delivered through the internet. There is an important lesson to be drawn from this peering dispute about how to pursue - and not to pursue - the goals of Internet freedom associated with net neutrality.

Ownership rights in IP addresses? A legal analysis <http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=51980965&f=175425&u=11399627&c=3931817>

A new paper on ownership rights in IPv4 addresses has been drafted; it is posted here<http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/175425/11399627/3931817/http://ciara.fiu.edu/publications/Rubi%20-%20Property%20Rights%20in%20IP%20Numbers.pdf>. Author Ernesto Rubi is a J.D. candidate at Florida International University School of Law. The paper explores the legal framework (or rather, the lack thereof) surrounding IP addresses. The depletion of the IPv4 free pool will, the author contends, intensify arguments about ownership interests in ipv4 address blocks. He concludes that “the concept of IP number ‘ownership’ or claim of right may be inevitable.”
