QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"A century-and-a-half ago, you could talk to someone a few
feet away and you needed no precautions. Today, you can call
someone anywhere, but the privacy of that conversation is
hard to assure." -- Whitfield Diffie, Sun Microsystems, on
the battle over encryption on the Net.

NEWS FROM ISOC
* DEADLINE FOR INET'98 CALL FOR PAPERS APPROACHES
The Call for Papers for INET'98, the premier meeting for
Internet and internetworking professionals, scheduled for
21-24 July 1998 at the Palexpo Conference Center in Geneva,
Switzerland, is 31 October. Complete details about the call
are available at http://www.isoc.org/call.html.
* NEW ISOC WEB SITE ON THE WAY
Development of ISOC's new and improved Web site is nearly
complete and comments are welcome. See http://www.isoc.org
and give us your feedback.
* INET'98 AND NDSS INFO AVAILABLE ON THE WEB
The Internet Society maintains complete information about
its upcoming conferences, events, seminars, and workshops on
its World Wide Web site, including INET'98 and NDSS.
Register now for the Symposium on Network & Distributed
System Security, scheduled for 11-13 March 1998 in San
Diego, California, and get the leading edge on system design
and implementation from those in the forefront of activity
in this important field. For more information about this and
other meetings, see http://www.isoc.org/conferences.
* ISOC ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENTS TO POC
The Internet Society Board of Trustees is pleased to
announce its appointments to the Policy Oversight Committee
(POC) as defined in the gTLD-MoU (http://www.gtld-mou.org/).
The appointments are Mr. Christopher Wilkinson and Mr. David
Maher. According to ISOC president Donald Heath, "The work
of the many individuals and organizations now involved in
the evolution and implementation of the IAHC Plan is
extremely important with far-reaching consequences. The ISOC
Board is confident that its appointees will represent the
broad Internet community very well indeed." For more
information about the appointments, see

NETWORK NEWS
* WEB PIRATES TARGETED
Web pirates who steal and distribute software, music, or
other copyrighted material on the Internet could become
subject to fines of up to US$250,000 and a three-year jail
sentence under a bill approved in October by the U.S. House
Judiciary Committee. The bill (HR 2265), introduced by U.S.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va), is called the No Electronic Theft
(NET) Act and it amends federal copyright law to define
"financial gain" to include the receipt of anything of
value, including the receipt of copyrighted works.
(TechWire)
* U.S. AND EUROPEANS CLASH OVER STANDARDS AND ENCRYPTION
A major policy rift between the European Union and the U.S.
over technology standards policy emerged earlier this month
at the Global Standards conference, where Martin Bangemann,
the senior European Commissioner for technology, told
conference attendees that governments should be able to
twist the arms of industry giants when they fail to come up
with the right standards at the right time. His views
clashed directly with those of another senior governmental
aide at the conference, Ira Magaziner, the U.S. Internet
policy adviser to President Clinton.
A few days later, a high-level international battle over
Internet regulation erupted when the European Union refused
to follow the U.S. government's line on controlling
encryption software. The EC said on 8 October that it isn't
planning heavy regulation for encryption technology --
unlike the U.S. government -- because European trade
officials feel such a move would stifle electronic commerce.
(TechWire, TechWeb)
The full text of Commissioner Bangemann's proposal calling
for an International Charter for the Internet can be found
at http://www.ispo.cec.be/infosoc/promo/speech/geneva.html
* INTERNET2 INITIATIVE CHOOSES LEADER
Plans for the Internet2 initiative are moving one step
closer to implementation with the selection of Douglas Van
Houweling as president of the nonprofit company that manages
the project -- The University Corporation for Advanced
Internet Development. The announcement was made earlier this
month at a meeting of Internet2 in Washington, DC. Internet2
is funded by 116 universities, nine corporate partners, and
several government agencies. It allows the participants to
develop and manage ultra-high-speed Internet connections for
the benefit of research and education.
* NEW TECHNOLOGY TESTS SURFING OVER POWER LINES
Canadian hardware maker Northern Telecom and British
electricity supplier United Utilities said earlier this
month that they have patented a series of technologies that
allow electricity distribution networks to double as data
networks capable of carrying traffic at 1 megabit per second
-- 10 times the speed of today's ISDN lines. The two
companies expect to license their technology to other power
companies in Europe and Asia, a move that could help
increase competition in the Internet access markets
currently dominated by telephone companies. Norweb
Communications -- a subsidiary of United Utilities -- will
test the data-over-power-line technology on roughly 200
domestic customers in the Northwest of England during the
first half of next year. (TechWire)
* VIETNAM TO ALLOW FULL INTERNET ACCESS
The Directorate General of Post and Telecommunications in
Vietnam announced this month that full Internet access will
be available to Vietnamese in mid-November. Initially there
will be 12,000 users even as fears persist that the Internet
may be harmful to the Communist regime. For more
information, see

RESEARCH REPORTER
* WOMEN TO BE DOMINANT USERS OF INTERNET BANKING
According to American Banker, if online banking takes off as
expected, women users are likely to be the driving force.
The information is the result of a report from NetSmart
Research, a New York consulting company that based its
conclusion on phone interviews with 500 women who spend at
least an hour a week online.
In a related story, a study conducted by the National
Foundation for Women Business Owners and released by IBM has
concluded that women entrepreneurs are more likely to adopt
the Internet and new technologies for business growth than
are men. Based on a survey of 800 businesses across the
U.S., the survey showed that women increased their computer
investments by 60 percent in the last year to US$170.3
billion and are planning to invest an additional US$67.2
billion in 1997. Twenty-three percent of businesses owned by
women had a home page compared to 16 percent of businesses
owned by men. For more information, see

(NUA Internet Surveys)
* SURVEY REVEALS IMPACTS OF E-MAIL USAGE
Researchers at the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana-
Champaign recently completed an extensive research project
that studied the impact of e-mail on human relationships and
communication patterns. According to Alaina Kanfer, director
the NCSA project, the initial findings show that e-mail
users may need to rethink the way they use that technology.
"We're finding that the world is getting thinner as it gets
smaller," said Kanfer. "Our relationships are becoming more
and more spread out, and as a result, communications could
start to become more superficial." The preliminary results
of the project show that e-mail users had significantly more
communications with strangers and people outside their
community, but those new, distant communications came at the
expense of relationships with people closer to home. For
more information, contact alaina@ncsa.uiuc.edu.

NEWS FROM IETF/IESG/IANA
* IANA APPOINTMENTS TO THE POC
The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) announces the
appointment of Glenn Kowack and Willie Black to the Policy
Oversight Committee (POC). The POC is the key committee in
the evolving development of the generic top level domain
names (gTLDs) following the guidelines of the plan developed
by the International Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) and embodied in
the gTLD-MoU. Under the terms of the gTLD-MoU, now signed by
about 150 organizations, the IANA is to appoint two people
to the POC, one for a one-year term and the other for a
three-year term. Appointees serve as individuals, not as
representatives of organizations, and are charged with
making plans and taking decisions in their understanding of
the best interests of the Internet community.
* 40th IETF MEETING ACCEPTS REGISTRATIONS
The 40th IETF Meeting is set for 8-12 December 1997 at the
Omni Shoreham Hotel, in Washington, DC. The host is
Newbridge Networks, Inc. Registrations are now being
accepted and additional information can be found at
