Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

Certainly the concept is in its infancy. The site contains the caveat: "This is the Think U Know holding site and will be replaced by the complete website as the program develops." It all sounds very commendable, but please Minister, what's new this week about Microsoft's involvement, and why is the initiative about a year behind schedule? * The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) is made up of the Australian High Tech Crime Centre, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in the UK, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the US Department of Homeland Security and Interpol. Its aim is to build an effective, international partnership of law enforcement agencies that helps to protect children from online child abuse. {moscomment} |
