Subject: Australia: Govt security watchdog seeks additional
oversight of encryption bill powers
The government's Independent National Security Legislation Monitor,
Dr James Renwick, has indicated he would support the security appeals
division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal having oversight of
technical capability notices issued under the encryption law passed in
2018, and resolving any issue that could arise.
Dr Renwick held two days of hearings in Canberra on Thursday and
Friday last week, meeting representatives of both government and
industry.

By Paul E King I'm finally going for the slightly more expensive T-Mobile plan and making the attempt to finally shake the last of the Sprint nonsense. The slightly more expensive Magenta T-Mobile plan gives me the stuff that's advertised on TV (Netflix, in flight Wi-Fi,) as well as some data prioritization in the event I needed it - which oddly I do once a week or so now. I'm not a data hog, I just happen to need it at ~5:28pm on Friday in my neighborhood for approximately 12 minutes. Long and boring story excluded. I also want in flight Wi-Fi for the two times [per] year I might be on a plane. Netflix will balance the price out, and yeah. not much reason to not do it other than every phone company interaction I've ever had ever. https://pocketables.com/2022/10/my-latest-attempt-sprint-to-t-mobile-transition-and-no.html Message-ID: <20221019190619.GA585720@telecomdigest.us> Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 19:06:19 +0000 From: Bill Horne <malassimQRMilation@gmail.com> Subject: Opinion: Inside the multi-cloud networking wave Inside the multi-cloud networking wave By Scott Reynovich If you take a deep look at the digital communications markets these days you can see some clear long-term trends: more clouds, more connections and larger distributed systems. All this bodes well for networking technology that can connect as many clouds and things as possible – pushing us into the era of multi-cloud networking (MCN). The MCN era will be a lot different from past eras of networking. The networking specialists these days like to complain about the fact that networks simply haven’t kept up with the other areas of cloud innovation such as storage and compute. https://www.fiercetelecom.com/cloud/inside-multi-cloud-networking-wave-raynovich Message-ID: <Y0ScdtiP+bICiPz/@panix.com> Date: 10 Oct 2022 18:28:06 -0400 From: "Jim Millick" <jsm@remove-this.panix.com> Subject: FCC tackles a thorny robocall problem--how to verify caller ID on POTS The Federal Communications Commission is hoping to solve one of the thorniest problems in the fight against robocalls: how to verify caller ID on older landlines that don't use Internet Protocol (IP) technology. The FCC already requires phone companies to implement STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication tech on the IP portions of their voice networks. But due to technology limitations, STIR/SHAKEN requirements haven't applied to the older TDM-based networks generally used with copper landlines. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/10/fcc-tackles-a-thorny-robocall-problem-how-to-verify-caller-id-on-old-landlines/ |
