Swedish ISP BIP Bottnia Internet Provider is giving Internet service away
for free to customers who buy ice cream from Hemglass trucks. "All visitors
to the Hemglass trucks will be able to pick up a free Internet subscription
as a fun extra offer," says the head of marketing at Hemglass. The company's
200 trucks make 15,000 stops every day, reaching 90% of all Swedish
households. (Bloomberg News/Los Angeles Times 26 Aug 99)

LONDON FIRM CHALLENGES HACKERS
London-based Global Market is offering $50,000 to anyone who can crack its
high-security "1on1" service. The service includes a special feature called
autoshredder, which allows users to order an e-mail message to delete itself
from the recipient's computer at a specified time, leaving no trace. "There
are other companies offering security, not quite to the same extent as us,
and not to the same level of security. Nobody else offers the self-destruct
e-mail," says Steven James, the company's technical director.

AOL LAUNCHES FREE UK INTERNET SERVICE
In an effort to squelch upstart British rival Freeserve, America Online has
launched its own subscription-free service in the U.K. Freeserve's free
Internet access model has been copied by about 200 other service providers
in the U.K. over the last year, causing British consumers to lose interest
in subscription-based ISPs. In a further attempt to clone the Freeserve
model, AOL Europe has linked with retail giant Kingfisher to distribute the
free service. Freeserve uses parent company Dixons' outlets to sell its
software. (Financial Times 25 Aug 99)

Requests
Some time ago, after a request made by Michael Hart, a few volunteers
helped posting on PG the Spanish literature masterwork Don Quijote de la
Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. I think that this could be a good opportunity
to continue posting etexts in Spanish but we need help from people wanting
to volunteer. I do not have much time to dedicate to the effort alone, so I
ask anyone wanting to help to contribute to contact Michael or myself in
order to create a "stable" group (like the one that does German etexts, for
example) on Spanish texts. Basically what we need is someone who has time
enough to become a "leader" of the team (I can help a little if needed),
proofers (to check scanned or already digitized texts) and/or searchers
for copyright matters. We would appreciate any help on this.

Comments About Our New Files
This month we have completed our first draft of the Human Genome. If you
have some interest in this area, we are working on a search program. . .
to locate "conserved sequences/motifs" as well as specific genes. Also,
if you would like to write an article about the Human Genome. . .or know
anyone who would, or who would like to play with the program, email me.
We have also gotten back on track with our calendar. . .having completed
the rather large extra tasks we set for ourselves a few months ago. You
will notice [at least while I am writing this, that there are full month
scheduled releases this month. . .and three from next month.

NEW HANDHELD COMPUTER TO COMPETE AGAINST PALMPILOT
The creators of the PalmPilot handheld computer, who left their former
company to form a new one called Handspring, are about to compete against
the PalmPilot. Called "Visor," their new device will be sold in modular
versions starting at $149 and will be aimed at both the consumer and office
markets. Various modules will enable the Visor to work as a digital camera,
music player, pager, and wireless telephone. (Reuters/New York Times 10 Sep 99)

BRITISH TELECOM OFFERS FREE PCs
British Telecom has become the first U.K. Internet service provider to offer
customers a free personal computer as part of its BT Internet PC package.
The package, which costs 25.99 British pounds a month, also includes
installation, training, and free weekend ISP connections. At the end of
three years, customers will own their Fujitsu PC. BT says its new service
will cost less than 90p a day, and noted that the free weekend connections
would eliminate the potential problem of children running up phone bills
during peak Internet usage times. (Associated Newspapers Ltd. 14 Sep 99)

WRITERS WIN INTERNET COPYRIGHT SUIT IN CHINA
In the first case of its kind in China, a group of six prominent writers has
been awarded compensatory damages for having their work published without
their permission. The court ruled that Century Internet Communications
Technology Co. had violated the writers' copyrights by putting their works
on Beijing Online's Web site. The writers will receive anywhere from 720
yuan ($87) to 12,380 yuan (about $1,480) each. (Reuters/San Jose Mercury

FREELANCERS' PERMISSION NEEDED TO POST ELECTRONICALLY
A federal appeals-court panel has ruled that publishers must receive
permission from freelance writers, musicians, photographers and artists
before putting their material online or onto CD-ROMs, and must pay them
extra compensation for the privilege unless otherwise contractually
negotiated. The original suit was filed in 1993 by six writers who accused
several media companies, including the New York Times, Time Warner's Sports
Illustrated, Times Mirror's Newsday, and Reed-Elsevier's Lexis/Nexis
database, of copyright infringement for reproducing their work online
without permission. A federal court judge in 1997 sided with the publishers,
saying that electronic databases are simply revised versions of original
publications and that copyright law doesn't require extra payment by
publishers. The appeals-court panel on Friday found that databases differ
significantly because they contain thousands or millions of individual
articles that can be retrieved without reference to the original
publication. Most media companies today require "all rights" contracts,
which explicitly include electronic reproduction, but the real problem for
media organizations, says attorney Bruce Keller, is what should be done
about articles written during the 20 years prior to this case.

PHONES OUTNUMBER UMBRELLAS IN LOST-AND-FOUND
Londoners are leaving up to 45 mobile phones on buses and trains every day
-- outnumbering the number of umbrellas left behind for the first time ever.
According to Maureen Beaumont, manager of London Transport's lost property
office, the number of handsets being turned in is up sharply: "It's just
creeping up and up and up. It was just 30 a day a couple of months ago. Now
we're up to 40 or 45 a day." This year so far, there are 4,000 abandoned
phones waiting to be claimed, but because many users have insurance policies
that replace their phones within a few days, most of the misplaced handsets
are just left in the lost property office for the requisite six months.
"After that we can sell them as a piece of hardware -- we just dispose of
the sim card," says Beaumont. (Financial Times 27 Sep 99)

WIRED CITIES
An Ohio State University study has identified the 20 "most
Internet-accessible" U.S. cities: 1, Washington, DC; 2, Chicago; 3, Dallas;
4, New York; 5, Atlanta; 6, San Jose; 7, Los Angeles; 8, Houston; 9, San
Francisco; 10, Phoenix; 11, Boston; 12, Seattle; 13, Philadelphia; 14, St.
Louis; 15, Denver; 16, Baltimore; 17, Minneapolis; 18, Palo Alto; 19,
Detroit; 20, Santa Clara. The authors say, "In general, cities with more
linkages to the Internet backbone will have faster access and more reliable
connections to global information. This enhanced access results in a
comparative advantage that will grow in importance with the continuing
computerization of information." (Newsbytes News Network/USA Today 24 Sep 99)

MICROSOFT'S IE5 REELING AGAIN AFTER TWO NEW BUGS DISCOVERED
Experts this week found two new security bugs that affect
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5 (IE5) browser. Security expert
Georgi Guninski discovered one spoofing glitch that would give
hackers access to data on IE5 even through a firewall. The bug
would allow an HTML JavaScript to activate once a user visits a
Web site, and then download files back to the user's computer.
Since the files are downloaded from the computer back to itself
rather than to another machine, firewalls do not prevent the
attack. After the information has been downloaded back to the
original computer, it can be sent to any IP address. Microsoft
is now working on a patch, and suggests in the meantime that
concerned users disable IE5's active scripting. A second bug,
confirmed this week by BugNet and its parent company KeyLabs,
would allow IE5's rendering engine to alter HTML tags. HTML tags
could change when users working with IE5 and Microsoft's MSHTML
editing and rendering engine use the "Web Page, complete" default
setting. Microsoft is working to repair the problem, and
suggests for now that users rely on the "Web Page, HTML only"
setting. (InfoWorld Electric 09/29/99)

STUDY: HIGH COST FOR WINDOWS 2000 TRANSITION
The migration costs of Microsoft's Windows 2000 are so high that
companies implementing the operating system would be unlikely to
see a return on investment for at least three years, according to
a recent Gartner Group study. The report indicates that the
migration cost for Windows 2000 could amount to as much as $3,100
per PC. Gartner vice president Michael Gartenberg says by the
time a company would see a return on Windows 2000, it would be
time to switch to another operating system. Microsoft has
advertised Windows 2000 as offering "increased reliability,
availability, and scalability with end-to-end management features
that reduce operating costs." Microsoft studies indicate
companies migrating to Windows 2000 will see benefits
immediately. Microsoft concedes that migration can be expensive,
but says Windows 2000 can significantly reduce operating costs by
streamlining help-desk operations, improving PC manageability,
and offering businesses greater control over software
applications. (C|Net 09/09/99)

CUT IN FIBER CABLE DISRUPTS INTERNET TRAFFIC NATIONWIDE
Internet traffic throughout the country was slowed dramatically
yesterday after a fiber cable was cut. A gas company in Ohio
inadvertently cut the cable with a backhoe at about noon
yesterday. Traffic between the East and West Coasts was as much
as 50 times slower than usual. Some companies experienced so
much trouble that they had no choice but to close down. Although
fiber cuts occur occasionally, a cut to such a large cable is
unusual, according to Bill Woodcock, a network architect for
regional ISP Zocalo. The cable was transmitting 40 billion bits
per second. Traffic that would usually move through the cable
was rerouted, but the congestion that resulted slowed data moving
through other network segments. GTE, which owned segments of the
cut cable, said last night that the cable would probably be fixed
by 9 p.m. (New York Times 09/30/99)
