WEBCAST: ISOC @ IETF – Improving Internet Experience @InternetSociety #IETF87
Today, Tuesday July 30 2013 the Internet Society will present a briefing panel at IETF 87 in Berlin, topic: “Improving Internet Experience: All together, now.” As Internet use and user expectations grow, it is natural that network and service providers, as well as software developers, are all looking to provide the best experience possible for their users and customers. However, performance issues (especially those related to transient congestion) tend to have collateral effects. This is a case where local optimization strategies may, in fact, not lead to globally optimal network performance for a given activity. In fact, server or client software developers’ assumptions about network conditions may lead to disastrously wrong choices in managing network traffic if software elsewhere in the network is making different and countervailing assumptions and choices.This panel will explore some of the different approaches being developed, between website, network transport and server developers, their assumptions about network performance and potential collision of strategies. Panelists will also further elaborate existing work in measuring and developing (and deploying!) standards-based transport layer strategies for robustly improving overall performance. Speakers include Stuart Cheshire of Apple, Jason Livingood of Comcast, and Patrick McManus of Mozilla. Internet Society Chief Internet Technology Officer Leslie Daigle will moderate. The session will be webcast live via the Internet Society livestream channel and an audio feed will also be available.

VIDEO: The Guardian Project’s InformaCam @TA3M NYC w/ @harlo @tech_wit #netfreedom
Developers Harlo Holmes and Bryan Nunez of the Guardian Project presented the InformaCam software library at Techno-Activism 3rd Monday at the Calyx Institute NYC on July 15 2013. Hosted by the Calyx Institute & OpenITP. InformaCam is an Android framework for verifying mobile media such as images and video. Created for human rights organizations, journalists and legal clinics, the tool automatically insures authenticity and preserves chain-of-custody for any image or video. Notably, since InformaCam is a developer library, it can be plugged into an organization’s existing mobile software, and sync media to a variety of third party storage solutions such as Dropbox. Video is below.

Kenya announces National Broadband Strategy #Kenya #broadband
Next Wednesday 23 July 2013 the Kenyan Government will launch its National Broadband Strategy (NBS).

The NBS is a major component in ‘Vision 2030‘, a plan that seeks to provide Kenyan citizens with a lifestyle that is equivalent to that of a newly industrialized country. In 2013 Vision 2030, launched in 2008, is undergoing a re-invigoration by the administration of newly-elected President Uhuru Kenyatta. The strategy recognizes the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 that provides for information access to all citizens as a basic right, with a stated goal “Broadband connectivity that is always on and that delivers a minimum of 5mbps to homes and businesses for high speed access to voice, data, video and applications for development.”

The following diagrams give greater detail:

The NBS includes a list of 10 principles that include universal and open access, competition over shared resources, transparency, and the right to interconnect. Building and transportation regulations will be adapted to cater to infrastructure needs. Technical education will be enhanced down to the primary school level. Recognizing the need for local content as an adoption driver, Government agencies will digitize and make available their information, two “neutral” national data centers will be established, and a system of incubators promoted. The cost of the NBS is estimated at a little over $3bn USD.
