Mobile devices, cloud computing, and social media have increased connectivity and influenced workplaces and businesses by allowing a mobile majority. New trends like bring your own device, cloud computing, virtualization, and the internet of everything have redefined workplaces from PC-based and limited to being handheld-ruled, ubiquitous, open networks that are employee and customer driven. While modern technology advances have created opportunities, they have also introduced new security threats to enterprise networks.
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers should treat all data equally and not discriminate based on content or user. It ensures users have equal access to all content and services online without interference from the provider. The issue affects content providers and whether broadband companies can create fast lanes for some sites. Supporters like Tim Berners-Lee argue for net neutrality to keep the Internet open, while opponents like AT&T argue for less regulation to encourage investment. The FCC is currently proposing new net neutrality rules that would reclassify broadband providers as common carriers.
Talk at 31st Chaos Communication Congress at Hamburg 2014.
see: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2014/Fahrplan/events/6170.html
Our talk will highlight the current debates surrounding net neutrality in Europe, the United States and other parts of the world. We will look at the results of the SaveTheInternet.eu campaign which was lunched a year ago on 30c3. We will discuss various legal protections for net neutrality, look closer at the experience of the Netherlands and we will give an overview of all important open ends of the debate.
Since two years net neutrality is on the agenda of politicians world wide. These are important debates, as net neutrality became one of the central questions about our freedom on the internet. With different faces around the globe we see a trend towards more violations of the neutrality principle which the internet was founded upon. The efforts of telecommunication companies to find new ways to monetize their networks and us users within them are countered in some countries with legislation preventing this new business models.
In 2010, after two years of preparation and a fierce battle, the Dutch
parliament accepted a change to the Telecommunications Act which made net neutrality a principle that was protected by law. In this talk we will take stock after two years of legal protection of net neutrality in The Netherlands. Did it work and do the Dutch now have undiscriminated access to all services on the internet? Has the doomsday scenario of the providers, that subscriptions would become outrageously expensive, become reality? In which cases was the Dutch law enforced?
Are there any loopholes in the Dutch implementation? If others are to
fight for net neutrality, what are the pitfalls to avoid? And, on a more
meta-level, is it enough? Will net neutrality protect your freedom to
access websites and services, or do we need a broader type neutrality?
This document discusses how technology and IT usage has changed in the Northern Ireland construction industry over the past 15 years. It notes that in 1999, technology usage on construction projects was very limited, with only one email address, dial-up internet, and few mobile phones or file sharing capabilities. However, it describes how now professionals in the industry widely use smartphones, tablets, cloud computing, BIM modeling, and other digital tools to improve communication, planning, and project management. The increased adoption of these technologies points to a more sustainable future for the local construction sector.
The document discusses Over-the-Top (OTT) services from a regulator's perspective. It defines OTT as applications and services that do not have their own infrastructure and operate over networks not controlled by the service provider. OTT services are becoming an issue as they offer free services using connectivity and break the relationship between consumers and telecom operators. This can risk operators being seen as "dumb pipes." The document also discusses net neutrality and its implications in developing economies, where addressing the digital divide should take priority over equal access to content. Overall, the categorization of internet services and revenues from broadband access impact broadband development differently between mature and developing economies.
This document discusses how cloud computing and IT adoption in emerging markets will change global e-business and e-government. It summarizes the experience of Denmark in implementing electronic invoicing for government transactions, which initially failed when companies were forced to comply but later succeeded when incentives were offered and lightweight solutions were built. It argues that future IT adoption will be driven by emerging markets and constrained resources, so solutions need to be engineered within users' capabilities, not highest technical standards. Cloud computing may enable this by providing affordable access to computing resources on a global scale.

Hoe maak je een strategisch digitaal marketing plan?Koen Delvaux
De presentatie toont hoe je een marketingplan kadert binnen de visie, missie en strategie van het bedrijf. Daarnaast gaat ze in op de belangrijkste verschillen in het managen van digitale marketing ten opzichte van de traditionele aanpak: tweerichtingsverkeer, integratie van de service experience en het blijven doorlopen van de interactie na het einde van een campagne.
Verder worden de verschillende elementen van een strategische plan toegelicht aan de hand van de hoofdstukken en titels die in het plan moeten terugkomen. Een laatste deel geeft aan hoe je het planningsproces continu moet voeden op basis van testen. In digitale marketing kan je immers kleinschalig, snel en goedkoop experimenteren. Dit zorgt ervoor dat het vaak beter is om een experiment op te zetten in plaats van in een vergadering te discussiëren.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
