Just like fuel runs a car....TRAFFIC is the fuel that
runs the net. Just like in real life there are many
grades to choose from crude oil to rocket fuel. The
same is also true of the net. Traffic comes in various
grades but only the sophisticated traffic buyer
understands the difference and buys the most potent
traffic. If you are not KEENLY aware of the subtle
differences in traffic......no other info is more
valuable if you have a website and plan to make a
PROFIT on the net.

IPv6 expert sees adoption growing . . . slowly
For a decade, network executives have been awaiting
the arrival of IPv6, an upgrade to the current version
of the Internet Protocol, IPv4. IPv6 promises a
dramatically larger addressing scheme as well as
enhanced security and easier administration. Senior
Editor Carolyn Duffy Marsan recently interviewedJim
Bound, chair of the North American IPv6 Task Force and
CTO of the IPv6 Forum, about the status of IPv6
deployment. A Hewlett-Packard Fellow, Bound is a
contributor to the IPv6 specifications and an early
implementer of the technology.

Comment se protéger contre le geographic squatting ?
Cybersquatting, position squating, celebrity
squatting, l’internet dévoile sans cesse de nouvelles
atteintes à des droits privatifs. Les noms
géographiques (villes, régions, pays, lieux-dits…)
sont également atteints par ce que l’on pourrait
appeler le "geographic squatting".

uk: Le Parlement écossais porn-squatté : La lutte
contre le porn-squatting doit se poursuivre
Le fléau du porn-squatting se poursuit jusque dans le
Parlement Ecossais (www.scottish.parliament.uk). Alors
qu’Holyrood est en quête de modernisation de son image
(visitez Holyrood sur www.holyrood.tv), de nombreux
internautes ont eu la surprise de s’apercevoir qu’il
pouvait ne rien y avoir sous un kilt écossais ; un nom
de domaine reproduisant le nom du « Scottish
Parliament » diffuse un site à caractère
pornographique.

Une décision UDRP n’est pas une sentence arbitrale
Le droit des noms de domaine génère décidément un
certain nombre d’interrogations fondamentales.
Existe-t-il un réceptacle juridique processuel pour
les décisions issues des procédures extra-judiciaires
approuvées par l’ICANN ? La question de la
qualification juridique de ces décisions n’est pas
sans intérêts pratiques. Ont-elles autorité de la
chose jugée ? Ont-elles la qualité de sentences
arbitrales au sens du Nouveau code de procédure civile
ou de simples expertises ? Peuvent-elles être frappées
d’appel?
