I have an ISBN number for my Sex.com book
2 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Journalism, Sex.com I have just finished writing an article about the latest twists and turns of the Sex.com case for The Guardian, and of course stuck at the end the fact that I was writing a book about it which would be published by Quercus later this year.
The editor got back and asked if I had […]
What ISOC and Canada said to the US government
0 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Technology, WSIS, ICANN I’m beginning to bore myself going on about the NTIA meeting, but here are the two most important statements made over the future of Internet governance on Wednesday. The first by Internet Society (ISOC) president and CEO Lynn St. Amour and the second by the Canadian government representative Bill Graham.
I will put the whole statements […]
Wendy Grossman announces ICANN Board application
0 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, WSIS, ICANNI’m delighted to see that another person had made their application to the ICANN Board public. Wendy Grossman is a well-known IT journalist, she’s American but lives in the UK and she appears to have the same philosophy as I do about what ICANN has to do and why there is a need for […]
What was said at the NTIA and what is news?
10 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Technology, WSIS, ICANN I’m still getting grief from people taking exception to my Register story about what happened at the NTIA yesterday.
I’ve sent some of the emails to The Reg in order to get a right to reply in there (plus possibly a Flame of the Week). But I’m going to bother The Reg with lots more articles […]
A brief history of American Internet madness
6 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Technology, WSIS, ICANN It really is extraordinary how a government’s philosophy can permeate a society.
I have been following and writing about Internet governance for I don’t know how long but most importantly I was in Luxembourg 12 months ago when ICANN met and attempted to understand what on earth four new principles produced by the United States […]
The global Internet and what that really means
0 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, Technology, WSIS Everyone is forever talking about the global Internet but like in Orwell’s Animal Farm, it often seems that the endless repetition of “four legs good, two legs bad” is deemed enough in itself.
I have two articles published today that consider the reality or otherwise of this global Internet. The first is a long feature […]
Will the US hand over control of Internet? Here’s your answer
3 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Internet, Journalism, WSIS, Podcast So far the US government has been explicitly urged by just about every speaker at the NTIA meeting in Washington discussing ICANN that it transition its own role on the Internet to a more international body.
Commerce assistant secretary John Kneuer - the man that matters - was asked straight out whether the US was […]
Is the NTIA blind to the truth, Stevie Wonder wonders
0 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Funny, Internet, Journalism, Technology, WSIS The webcast for the NTIA meeting in Washington has just started and it is playing, rather pleasantly, Stevie Wonder with a background noise of people in the meeting.
I love the idea of the room being filled with the funky vibes of Mr Wonder, as US government officials groove with the assorted Net experts, but […]
Is the Home Secretary a big, fat liar?
3 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Journalism, Podcast This morning the new Home Secretary John Reid gave his first interview since taking over the job to Radio 4’s Today programme.
It was interesting for a number of reasons not least of which was the fact that he appears to have lied about having seen a BBC investigation which alleges that the detective in […]
New Statesman’s New Media awards
11 Comments Published by Kieren 1 year, 11 months ago in Funny, Internet, Journalism Last night, for reasons I’m still unsure of, I attended the New Statesman’s New Media awards at the Serpentine Gallery in Hyde Park.
I am now trying to remember the last awards ceremony I went to, because at it I decided I would never go to one again. Ah yes, it was the PPA Awards […]
