Internet wins: SOPA and PIPA both shelved

by Admin - on Jan 21st 2012 - 1 Comment

Just hours after Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) announced he was delaying a vote on the PROTECT IP Act, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the sponsor of the Stop Online Piracy Act, followed suit and announced he would be delaying consideration of the companion legislation.

“I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” Smith said. “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”

“The Committee will continue work with both copyright owners and Internet companies to develop proposals that combat online piracy and protect America’s intellectual property,” Smith continued. “We welcome input from all organizations and individuals who have an honest difference of opinion about how best to address this widespread problem.” (He may want to check out our thoughts on the matter.)

Even former Senator Chris Dodd, the head of the Motion Picture Association of America, seemed to concede defeat. “With today’s announcement, we hope the dynamics of the conversation can change and become a sincere discussion about how best to protect the millions of American jobs affected by the theft of American intellectual property,” he said in a statement. “It is incumbent that they now sincerely work with all of us to achieve a meaningful solution to this critically important goal.”

The ideas present in both SOPA and PIPA may return, but both bills in their present form—and with their present names—are probably done for good.

A key figure in the fight against SOPA was Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA). Issa had planned to use his perch as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to highlight the flaws of SOPA’s DNS blocking provisions. He was planning to hold a hearing featuring the testimony of actual technical experts, something that had been mysteriously missing from Smith’s hearings on the bill. Wednesday’s Internet protests were originally scheduled to coincide with the hearings. But Issa scrapped his hearing after receiving assurances that the DNS provisions would be dropped from SOPA. The broader protest went forward anyway.

“Supporters of the Internet deserve credit for pressing advocates of SOPA and PIPA to back away from an effort to ram through controversial legislation,” Issa said in a Friday statement. “Over the last two months, the intense popular effort to stop SOPA and PIPA has defeated an effort that once looked unstoppable.”

“Postponing the Senate vote on PIPA removes the imminent threat to the Internet, but it’s not over yet,” Issa continued. “Copyright infringement remains a serious problem and any solution must be targeted, effective, and consistent with how the Internet works.”

UK Broadband : How Will It Change In The Future?

by Asad Ahmad - on May 30th 2011 - No Comments

Currently in the UK, the majority of people have access to the internet, but there is still a considerable amount of people who have only limited access or no access at all. While 99% of 16-24 year olds have used the internet, the Office of National Statistics says that this drops to 40% of people aged over 65. 27% of people have no access at home. The UK also falls behind other countries in terms of connection speed. So what’s the future for UK broadband?

One of the obvious things that will happen to the UK’s broadband in the future is an increase in its speed. The current average speed is 6.4Mbps; more than double what it was in 2008 and above the global average of 5.9Mbps. Providers such as BT and Virgin Media are currently engaged in a massive roll-out of fiber optic broadband, the effect of which will be to provide coverage to more homes and increase broadband speeds by 50—60% within a year of the system going live.

Linked to this is the issue of increased coverage, which is also due to improve in the coming years. Currently, people in rural areas have less access to the internet than people in towns and cities, so schemes are underway to improve this. The UK is also committed by EU law to provide basic broadband coverage to all citizens by 2013, although it is currently a couple of years behind on this. It is also committed to providing 30Mbps broadband by 2020.

ADSL2+ is another project currently underway that is having a much more immediate impact on the speeds of the UK’s broadband. It’s part of a BT-integrated project called the 21st century network, and it can offer speeds of 24Mbps. These speeds are, however, not universally available as they are dependent on the distance people are from the exchange and can be affected by electromagnetic disturbance. It’s a variant of the existing DSL and every exchange is due to be enabled with ADSL2+ by 2011.

As internet use increases in the UK, the current system upgrades will be even more vital. The country is expected to become increasingly reliant on broadband due to improved coverage and connection. The government is currently considering the possibility of online-only services, a massive step. Also, businesses increasingly make use of broadband and personal financial transactions are more often carried out online, trends that are set to continue. Mobile broadband is also increasingly popular, meaning the future of the UK and broadband are massively interwoven.
