Content Regulation in Malaysia:Unleashing Missiles on
Dangerous Web Sites by Ida Madieha Azmi, Associate
Professor, Private Law Department, International
Islamic University (Journal of Information, Law &
Technology)
Abstract: The open and democratic nature of the
internet facilitates all kinds of abuses. Obscenity,
hatred speech, defamatory messages, indecent content
and other type of harmful content flourish in the
Internet. For this reason, many countries are now
regulating speech on the Internet, just like what they
have traditionally done for all other types of mass
media. To claim that the Internet must be left free
from the shackles of law and regulation would not just
create a lawless wild-wild-west but also would channel
all forms of illegal conduct and speech to migrate to
the ‘unregulated’ Internet.

Service Provider Licensing System in the Malaysian
Communications and Multimedia Industry by Safinaz
Mohd. Hussein, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law,
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Journal of
Information, Law & Technology)
Abstract: In 1998 the Malaysian government enacted the
Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) (CMA)
to cater for the convergence era of
telecommunications, broadcasting and information
technology. This CMA changed the definition of these
three previously distinct industries into the
communications and multimedia industry. One of the
reasons behind this was the contention on the part of
the government that to differentiate these three
industries would do more harm than good due to the
fact that technological advances no longer make it
viable to draw the lines differentiating them. One of
the most important parts of the CMA is the licencing
system it introduces.[1] This paper is divided into
two parts which will discuss the transitional
provisions for existing licence holders and the new
licencing system introduced.

Where's the Money? - Internet Interconnection and
Financial Settlements by Geoff Huston
It is often the case that it takes a significant
amount of effort to produce seemingly simple outcomes.
While we now take the net for granted and see nothing
terribly spectacular behind the click of a mouse to
bring up a web page, the mechanics behind this action
are no less extraordinary than they ever were, no
matter how much we now see this as the Internet simply
doing what it was designed to do. While the technical
engineering aspects of the Internet are impressive,
the business side of the network is no less
impressive. In this article we will look at the manner
in which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) interact
from the perspective of their financial dealings, and
take a look at some of the business pressures that are
defining the structure of today's Internet industry.

Say no to Big Brother plan for Internet by MICHAEL
GEIST
During the Internet boom of the late 1990s, Nortel

its slogan, "what do you want the Internet to be?" The
implications were obvious — the Internet was a
technology of unlimited possibility that could be
whatever we wanted it to be.

ph: ‘Operation predator’
BEFORE the United Nations General Assembly, Dubya Bush
announced the commitment and determination of the
United States to suppress, if not eradicate, the
debasing and illegal business of trafficking women and
children for various reasons, including global sex
tourism and commercial exploitation, forced labor, and
even military conscription. ... In a 15-month period,
close to 5,000 child predators had been arrested in
the largest-ever American investigation into child
trafficking, online child pornography, and global sex
tourism. Garcia announced that ICE has taken its
investigations into cyberspace: “Our investigators
were unearthing remarkable numbers of child
pornographers on the Internet, human smuggling
organizations trafficking in children for sexual
exploitation and the relatively new phenomenon of ‘sex
tourists’—American citizens who travel to other
countries to engage in sex with minors.”
