Commission takes step towards the Next generation Internet (RAPID) 
The European Commission has adopted the Communication entitled "IPv6
Priorities for Action". The Communication calls for a European action
plan to accelerate the rollout of Internet Protocol version 6 (Ipv6)
- a key technology for the Next Generation Internet. Unless action is
taken, space on the current generation of the internet is projected
to be exhausted by around 2005. IPv6 will provide a quantum leap in
the number of Internet addresses available for the foreseeable
future.

With simplicity comes complacency (ZDNet)
News analysis: SNMP is an essential part of normal network
operations, but people everywhere have been lax in maintaining its
security. Nobody can claim they weren't warned.

Cyberterrorism - the new Cold War (ZDNet)
During the next few years, heightened security will change the
Internet, and the office network on which many of you work. In fact,
you'll probably see changes first at the office as companies try to
"harden" their information assets against a wide variety of threats.
