Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The porn industry is not going to get its own .xxx top level domain, after the long running proposal was voted down by a majority of the board members of internet regulator, the Internet Coorporation for Asigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The proposal, which has been six years in the making from US-based
internet company ICM Registry, was voted down by a margin of 9 to 5 by
the 14 member ICANN board.
Ironically, the proposal was opposed not only by members of
conservative groups but also representatives of the porn industry
itself, who maintained that the domain may have the effect of limiting
their speech through its policy guidelines.
On the other hand, conservatives and anti-porn campaigners argued that
the domain would just serve to legitimize porn and would not place any
obligations on purveyors of porn to refrain from sending malware to
visitors because they could just keep their .com domains as well.
The views of the board members who voted for and against the proposal will be published later this month.
