The report discusses recommendations to promote creativity in industries through modernizing frameworks for TV and radio, supporting local news, and policies to maximize benefits from digital technologies. However, the document expresses disappointment that the actual policies focused on helping established interests through tax breaks and surveillance rather than open data, small businesses, direct democracy, or data ownership. It suggests educating politicians, innovating around problems, and pressuring the government, arguing citizens should take matters into their own hands.

Designing online social security for the future
Jerry Fishenden from the Centre for Technology Policy Research discusses designing online social security for the future. He notes that previous attempts at online social services faced blockers like resistance from departments not wanting other organizations to deliver their services. However, digital technologies can now enable more efficient delivery of social services. Fishenden proposes designing systems from the edge-in, reusing existing infrastructure, and ensuring privacy, security, and resilience are built-in from the start. This could allow benefits to be delivered more dynamically and personalized information to be provided to citizens about their benefits.
Citizen Power Station
Citizen Power Station proposes a new distributed utility model where citizens become independent power producers (IPPs) through roof-top solar and net metering. This allows citizens to sell excess electricity to the grid at 80% of the buy rate. It suggests time-of-use tariffs with no service fees to prevent grid defection. Smart meters would allow utilities to schedule household appliances to optimize electricity use. The proposal aims to grow the renewable energy economy while lowering costs for citizens and increasing revenue for utilities.
Network Neutrality 1
The document discusses perspectives on net neutrality in Europe. It describes net neutrality as the principle that all information on the Internet should be treated equally. It notes concerns about Internet congestion from sites like Google and online games. There is a debate around whether governments should intervene to ensure fairness or if they are using congestion as an excuse to control the Internet. Some internet service providers propose selling Internet access in packages like TV channels that only include certain websites.

The document compares postal systems and regulation across the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. It finds that:
1) All three countries have undergone major changes to their postal systems, with the UK experiencing problems due to underinvestment and powerful unions.
2) Public interests like affordability and reliability are generally secured, though views differ on what level of service is required in the future, especially between urban and rural areas.
3) Transparency, democratic accountability, and the postal service's sense of public responsibility remain important though interpretations vary between countries.

The document discusses commercializing data in the public sector, noting that 90% of the world's data has been created in the past two years. It advocates for open data and releasing taxpayer-funded information for public use, as this approach can create new jobs and economic growth. Research estimates the total annual economic gains from open public sector data in the EU could be €140 billion by adding value to this data through new applications and services.

Issues in film exhibition
Netflix and other online streaming services have become very popular in the UK, with Netflix gaining 1 million subscribers only 7 months after launching. While this transition to digital distribution and viewing is cheaper for studios, some directors argue it reduces the artistry of cinema by moving away from 35mm film. Additionally, the growth of piracy costs the creative industry £1.5 billion annually as illegal downloads and streaming sites tap into consumer demand that legitimate services have not met, threatening further job losses for retailers.

The Digital Agenda for Europe
Dr. Carl-Christian Buhr outlined the European Commission's Digital Agenda and its 100 proposed actions across 7 areas to make Europe's economy and society more digital by 2020. The areas include completing a digital single market, improving interoperability and standards, enhancing online trust and security, expanding broadband access, boosting ICT research and skills, and using ICT to address societal challenges like health, education and government services. The agenda aims to get more Europeans online, bridge the digital divide, and transform ICT into a hugely important part of the European economy and society.
Net Neutrality
Net neutrality is the concept of equal access to the internet without bias toward certain content. It has been a guiding principle since the inception of the internet. However, internet service providers want to charge content providers more for certain network traffic or services. Without net neutrality protections, ISPs could control and restrict access to websites and increase costs. Supporters argue this would fundamentally change the open internet, while ISPs say it is needed to sustain network infrastructure. There is an ongoing conflict between preserving net neutrality regulations and allowing ISPs to manage their networks.
Streaming videos are replacing traditional mode of entertainment
This document discusses a study on streaming videos as a substitute for traditional entertainment among youth in Agra, India. It first provides background on how streaming services are threatening cable and satellite TV by offering improved quality and frequent updates. It then defines streaming video as content sent over the Internet in compressed form for real-time viewing. The literature review shows that studies have found youth increasingly shifting to streaming videos from traditional entertainment. The objectives are to understand what drives demand for streaming videos, their impact on Agra youth, and if they are replacing cable TV, theaters etc. The methodology describes a 2-month study of 100 Agra youth ages 18-35 using questionnaires and secondary sources. The findings will be analyzed using statistical tools and Microsoft Office

This document summarizes an update on the Ultra Connected Cities Seminar. It discusses the origins and objectives of the Urban Broadband Fund, which aims to encourage ubiquitous high-speed broadband provision and take-up in UK cities. It outlines the responses received during consultations with suppliers on various broadband deployment models. It also discusses the challenges around obtaining state aid approval for connection voucher schemes from the European Commission, and the steps being taken to re-scope city broadband plans and the program to address these challenges.Benefits briefing 030913
The document provides a summary of the latest news on benefits and welfare reforms from various reports:
- A Local Government Association report found that household incomes on benefits will be £1,615 lower annually on average due to welfare reforms. Local authorities are taking steps to mitigate the impacts through information campaigns and financial assistance.
- A Citizens Advice Bureau report found that food bank use in Stirling increased 100% from 2011 to 2012, with 29% of referrals due to benefit sanctions or delays and 19% due to low incomes.
- A Papworth Trust report found that disabled people are being denied additional housing payments at a rate of one in three and are cutting back on food to pay higher rents under welfare reforms
The Collaborative Economy: Benefits & Policy Challenges
The document discusses the collaborative economy, its benefits, and key policy challenges. It defines the sharing economy and collaborative economy. Benefits include economic efficiency through better access to goods and services, environmental sustainability, and new revenue sources. However, regulatory challenges exist around taxation, labor issues, and balancing access over ownership with insurance responsibility. Governments have an opportunity to shape these practices to promote fairer societies but there is still work to be done developing policy, with no one-size-fits-all solution. Case studies and cooperation between multiple stakeholders are needed.
Innovation in the everything-for-free world
The document discusses innovation in a world where everything is becoming free or nearly zero cost due to technologies like Moore's Law. It argues that as communication, content, consumer goods, education, and knowledge become free due to technologies, businesses must focus on solving problems rather than selling products. Innovation will involve breaking existing business models, creating new platforms, focusing on problems to solve rather than existing products or services, and having a simple, scalable approach.

Net neutrality
Net neutrality prevents internet providers from discriminating or charging differently by content type. It requires all internet traffic to be treated equally. Without net neutrality, large internet providers could promote their own content over others or charge fees to content providers for higher speeds, which could harm small businesses. While removing net neutrality rules could allow for free data plans if providers charge content companies instead, it risks giving providers too much control over what users see online. The EU currently maintains net neutrality rules, while in the US the repeal of net neutrality rules faces legal challenges.
Sheffield City Region Presentation
The Sheffield City Region in the UK has formed a public sector e-forum partnership between four local authorities, three universities, and organizations in health, police, fire, rescue, and the private sector. The partnership aims to provide 97% next generation broadband access to 100% of the population and encourage collaboration around smart cities, cloud computing, and public sector automation. Members have participated effectively since 2012 to promote initiatives involving digital inclusion, social networks, and e-government.
Synergy and convergence
Synergy and convergence refer to the merging of different organizations or media platforms to create combined effects. Examples include AOL and Time Warner merging to promote Harry Potter, and newspapers partnering with television networks. Several regulatory bodies in the UK work to classify and rate media content for different age groups, and ensure advertising standards, including the BBFC for film ratings, PEGI for video game ratings, the ASA for advertising standards, and Ofcom as the overall communications regulator.

This document discusses issues related to Canada's digital media ecosystem and policy. It argues that competition has shifted to the "edge of the network", making top-down regulation less effective. It calls for a holistic digital media policy that harnesses opportunities in infrastructure, skills development, software/IP, while ensuring open access and respecting intellectual property rights. The document stresses that advanced wireless and wireline networks are critical infrastructure for Canada's economic and cultural well-being, and billions in investment are needed to upgrade these networks. However, regulation that dampens investment or taxes infrastructure providers will negatively impact the buildout of broadband networks across Canada.

It outlines how citizens' expectations are changing with new technologies and the internet, requiring governments to also change how they operate. Governments need to embrace new tools and become more transparent, collaborative platforms to build trust with the public. The presentation provides examples from the government of Victoria, Australia of how social media is being used for emergency response, public engagement and improving access to government services and information.
Copyright economy updated
The document discusses the challenges of copyright law in the digital age. It notes that digital technology allows for near-zero copying costs and decentralized distribution, unlike the printing press which required centralized control of copying. This poses challenges to the traditional copyright system of balancing the interests of content creators, publishers, and consumers. The document considers possible new goals and approaches for copyright law given the technological changes.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
