Cingular and AT&T Wireless make last
minute attempt to delay number
portability
10/31/2003 01:39 AMWe'd thought that the cellphone companies had stopped trying to weasel
out implementing number portability after a Federal appeals court
threw out their lawsuit against the FCC back in June, but apparently
they hadn't quite given up yet. AT&T Wireless and Cingular just tried
again in court to stall the new rules by arguing that the FCC hadn't
been clear enough about how number portability applies to landlines as
well. On Wednesday this second lawsuit was also thrown out, though now
it looks like AT&T Wireless and Cingular might be trying get Congress
to intervene and obtain a delay. Read [Via MobileTracker]...

07/12/2004 10:59 AMNewsweek reports: "American counterterrorism officials, citing what
they call "alarming" intelligence about a possible Qaeda strike inside
the United States this fall, are reviewing a proposal that could allow
for the postponement of the November presidential election in the
event of such an attack... The prospect that Al Qaeda might seek to
disrupt the U.S. election was a major factor behind last week's terror
warning by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge... Ridge's department
last week asked the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to
analyze what legal steps would be needed to permit the postponement of
the election were an attack to take place."
Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure
Adventures in wireless security: Why
home and corporate wireless LANs are
insecure
06/03/2004 03:44 AMThe meat of the article is:
“…Wireless security recommendations: Change your system
defaults – everyone knows them.
Change the Admin and SNMP passwords. Change the IP network range. Also
change the Server Set ID (SSID). The SSID is a unique identifier for
your wireless hub/router. The default SSID is set in the factory is
definitely not unique.
Don’t broadcast the SSID. While you can change the default ID,
that does little if your hub or router broadcasts that SSID.
Enable Wireless Encryption. WEP or something similar can be
compromised, but it makes it significantly more difficult to
compromise your information. The larger the key length, the better.
Enable Shared Key Authentication. The default Open System setting lets
anyone connect to your network with very minimal effort.
Change your SNMP Community String. Create a Community String like it
is a strong password.
Enable MAC Address Codes. Again, this makes it more difficult for a
hacker to compromise your home network.
Set Wireless LAN cards to Infrastructure Mode. Most cards have the
default Ad Hoc mode, which is less secure.
Don’t rely only on the broadband firewall. A firewall at your
home’s Internet entry point is critical. However, you should
still have personal firewalls on all computers on your network, in
case something makes it through your home’s firewall or a hacker
does make it onto your network.”
China Drops Wireless Protectionism, for
Now
China Drops Wireless Protectionism, for
Now
04/22/2004 01:25 PMNY Times: China Agrees to Postpone Wireless Plan. China agreed on
Wednesday to give up a plan to impose its own standard for wireless
technology, essentially agreeing to join the rest of the world rather
than dividing it up.
This is good news. China's push
for its own standards in a variety of areas is understandable, but the
wireless move was blatant protectionism.
But don't imagine that China is giving up on its wish to make its own
destiny, and to stop paying what amount to taxes to the Intels,
Microsofts and other big U.S., Japanese and European companies in all
areas of technology. That's a reasonable goal for any nation.

wireless network in Tianjin: China Telecom will use unlicensed
frequencies and looks at this deployment as a test before potentially
building similar networks in other regions. The point-to-multipoint
network can be used to supply data and voice. Wi-LAN uses proprietary
technology based on OFDM but says it's the same technology that makes
up the 802.16 standard. That standard is backed by the WiMAX Forum,
which hasn't started certifying products yet. The press release
doesn't seem to be online yet but may be available here eventually....

Many Web sites and several news services picked up the report, and
Microsoft Corp.'s public relations team shifted swiftly into gear for
damage control and denial. Its corporate statement was that Microsoft
did not comment on "rumors or speculation."
Beyond that, the Microsoft view was clearly that the reported comments
were out of context. The remark attributed to Gates was made during an
informal cocktail reception after Microsoft's yearly financial
analysts' meeting recently at the company's Redmond headquarters.

China May Drop Controversial Proprietary
Wi-Fi Security Requirement
04/21/2004 05:02 PMNews.com's Richard Shim breaks the news that China might drop its
requirement for foreign manufacturers to use a new, proprietary Wi-Fi
security spec for products sold in that country: Shim's initial report
provides no detail beyond the headline. China has said that Wi-Fi
devices sold in the country after June 1 must include the WAPI
(Wireless Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) security system,
which is proprietary to China, and can only be included in products by
a handful of Chinese firms with which foreign companies must partner.
Many U.S. firms objected and the Bush administration also stood up to
bat. It's possible the WAPI action would have violated WTO rules, as
well....
