AT&T chief strategist Dick Bodman warned governments that interference would deter business and `slow down a magnet of creative activity by companies and individuals who are providing a catalyst for huge changes within the communications industry'. Bodman, speaking at the Telecoms 95 Exhibition in Geneva, referred to a variety of pressures building up at government and intergovernmental level. These include moves to impose conditions on companies seeking to provide Internet services, to specify common technology standards that would prevent new competitors from entering the market or coming up with new ideas, and to grant exclusive franchises to some companies to operate on world networks unfettered by competition. Bodman concedes that while pornography remains a real problem, commercial and other security issues could be worked out through co-operation between private firms. Even when it comes to such questions as pornography, Bodman believes that the solution probably lies in allowing consumers an option of "blanking out" what they do not want to see. `The Internet and related networks came about because people found an unregulated way to swap information and come up with new ideas without recourse to the authorities. To that extent, the Internet is an expression of the people,' he says." I, personally, remain unconvinced that a longer term goal of corporations such as AT&T is not to eat the RIPE and any similar not-for-profit expressions of the people involved in the operation of the Internet, but in the short term some joint approach with such powerful potential allies on these regulation issues may be useful. -- * nick(a)dreamy.demon.co.uk * nick.reid(a)demon.net *

RIPE22: terminal room
by RIPE NCC Staff 06 Oct '95

06 Oct '95

Terminal-room facilities during the RIPE-meeting. ------------------------------------------------- Time allowing, we will provide a terminal room during the RIPE meeting. There will be a number of ASCII terminals connected to a terminal-server (hef-ts1.nikhef.nl or hef-ts2.nikhef.nl), which will allow for telnet access. We will also provide ethernet tap points for laptop computers, using 10baseT ethernet. Unfortunately, Apple localtalk access cannot be provided, sorry. If 10base2, AUI or 110V is required, please send mail to <ncc(a)ripe.net> b e f o r e thuesday. If time allows, I will try to bring up an experimental DHCP server. In any case, a limited number of static IP addresses will be available & can be applied for at the registration desk. People that need to have access lists changed should allow access from 192.16.199.0/24 and 192.16.192.0/24. Printer access will be provided via an uuencoded-file-via-mail gateway. Hope this helps, Geert Jan

I fully agree with this, Frode. ISOC has a (small) presence at the massive Telecom'95 exhibition being held right now in Geneva - in fact I and a group of volunteers from the newly formed ISOC Geneva Chapter are running the ISOC stand in the exhibition. I will see if I can get this matter raised, at least in question-times and maybe other contacts, with some people that may be able to help. In particular there is a weekend sub-conference called "Internet@Telecom'95" tomorrow and Sunday which would be a good forum. By the way, it would be nice if ISOC had more European Chapters - so far only Geneva, Norway, Israel and Catalonia have formed anything. Our influence in Europe depends on our presence. Where are the big countries in all this? Ben

Hostcount Graphics Available
by Mirjam Kuehne 05 Oct '95

05 Oct '95

Dear all, There is now also a graphical version of the hostcount available, one file shows the monthly increase and the other the increase per quarter. You can find the files under: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount/RIPE-Hostcount-{Mo,Qu}.eps As you have probably already noticed, my previous mail contained a slight but significant error: The zone in the de domain had of course not 65,000 SOA RR's but 65,000 A RR's listed. Sorry about that. Kind regards, Mirjam RIPE NCC

Hostcount for September 1995
by Mirjam Kuehne 05 Oct '95

05 Oct '95

Dear all, Here is the hostcount for September 1995. The table shows an increase since last month of almost 57,000 (or 3.2%) to a total of over 1,830,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe. This comes to a total increase of 18.1% during the last three months. The UK shows the highest increase for August with more than 17,000 hosts more than in August. The de domain shows a decrease of over 40,000 hosts. The zone that listed 65,000 SOA records and caused a very big increase in the de domain in July has changed again and shows only two hosts. The hostcount can also be found under ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/hostcount. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
