<p class="MsoNormal">The Register and other technology sites are contemplating the likelihood of Vodafone taking over 3UK, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Britain</st1:place></st1:country-region>&#8217;s smallest cell phone company. The news of this possible acquisition has broken out after a merger between Orange <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> and T-Mobile was given assent by the European Union last week.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shaun Collins, Market Analyst at CCS Insight, envisages this business decision as being a wise one, and has said that the timing of such a move would be great with market consolidating.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In conversation with the Mobile Europe communications magazine, Collins explained the rationale behind the merger, saying that had 3UK not been in the reckoning for acquisition, this merger would have been improbable. Quoting the recent <a href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/telecoms/article5692179.ece">Vodafone &#8211; 3UK merger</a> in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>, he reiterated that this merger has already cemented the communication channels and the companies have a proven track record of working together.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">O2 and Vodafone are also contemplating other possibilities of signing network-sharing deals. &#8216;These two mobile companies have already entered a collaborative-ownership deal&#8217;, reports The Register.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2000 people are expected to lose their jobs due to downsizing, since the regulators have given old players like <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Orange</st1:place></st1:city> and T-Mobile consent for the merger. Though these firms were unavailable for further remarks about the merger, reports have confirmed these two firms would run their business under the same umbrella starting next month.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For a comparison of the broadband deals from other service providers, such as <a href="http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/broadband/review/virgin-media-broadband">Virgin broadband deals</a>, refer to the dedicated website Broadband Genie, for an overall review of the top service providers&#8217; offers and performance.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The British Government is unveiling a variety of free, short online courses under its Online Basics Scheme to train people in computer-related skills so that they can perform better in their everyday lives.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson, launched the initiative after it was revealed that nearly 11.3 million people in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> were computer illiterate. According to Mandelson all Britons should confidently be able to use the Internet in order to take part in today&#8217;s digital age. He added that going online not only benefited one personally and educationally but also helped the elderly improve their income.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Basic Online Scheme is to comprise five different parts that cover basic computer skills like typing and controlling the mouse and even operations like using emails and web browsing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">People can join the programme from their homes if they have a computer and a broadband connection. And to facilitate learning for others the Government has set up walk-in online centres in <st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city>, Barnsley, Oldham, <st1:city w:st="on">Gloucester</st1:city> and <st1:place w:st="on">Devon</st1:place>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The aim of the Government is to get another one million adults to go online in the next three years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The announcement follows the earlier statement by the Government, which promised free laptops and broadband access for a year to 270,000 families in the low-income bracket as part of its <a href="http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page22100">Home Access scheme</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you require more information on either broadband or mobile broadband, a good place to check out is the independent consumer website Broadband Genie. They offer information and free advice, and have some really good rants and raves from consumers on the ISPs. It&#8217;s a good site to get started on the internet with <a href="http://mobile.broadbandgenie.co.uk/3g-broadband/free-laptop">free laptop deals</a> and broadband offers from all the various service providers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warning!  Warning!  Warning!</p>
<p>Beware of VoIP internet service providers that operate on industry standard codec and industry standard protocols because they are PUBLICLY OPEN and INTERPRETABLE!  This also includes, but is not limited to, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.</p>
<p>In plain terms, this means, if you subscribe to, or considering subscribing to a VoIP internet solution provider who operates on these industry standards &#8211; and over 90% do &#8212; you have inadvertently made yourself vulnerable to the criminal activities of hackers.</p>
<p>Regardless of the type of anti virus software you have on your computer, the publicly accessible industry standards provide a pathway by which these criminals can access your computer to plant viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and/or steal your identity.</p>
<p>Like sharks in a feeding frenzy, unscrupulous criminal hackers view systems operating on these industry standards as their personal &#8220;Cash Cow&#8221; because of the ease by which they can access your computer and gather your information to sell to other criminals.</p>
<p>Did you know that some hacker-friendly providers offer processor chips that are only sold on the Internet?</p>
<p>Did you know that hacker-friendly providers actually offer hacker software that enables these criminals to deliberately disable security on computers, access your personal and confidential information, as well as inject their viruses, worms, and/or Trojan horses?</p>
<p>For instance, &#8220;Vomit&#8221; is a free download software that was designed to convert VoIP phone conversations into a wave file which could be played with standard sound players. Hackers gleefully interpret this as a tool they can utilize to attack unsuspecting victims.</p>
<p>Hacker manuals are also easily accessible via the Internet.  One of these manuals shows how to DoS other sites.  DoSing (Disruption of Service) involves gaining unauthorized access to the &#8220;command prompt&#8221; on your computer and using it to tie up your vital Internet services.  When a hacker invades your system, they can then delete or create files and emails, modify security features, and plant viruses or time bombs onto your computer.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sniff&#8221; is another tool (originally intended to help telecommunication professionals detect and solve problems) that criminal hackers use to tamper with the protocol and &#8220;sniff out&#8221; data.  When hackers sniff out a data packet from Internet traffic, they reconstruct it to intercept conversations.  This enables them to eavesdrop on conversations, gather information, and sell it to other unprincipled criminal entities.</p>
<p>Identity Theft</p>
<p>Identity theft is one of the most sinister of vulnerabilities you can inadvertently be subjected to.  Identity theft is defined by the Department of Justice as</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;the wrongful obtaining and using of someone else&#8217;s personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Identity theft is the by-product of unscrupulous criminal individuals obtaining your social security number (including those of your spouse and children), your bank account, your credit card information, etc.  Your information is then sold to other criminal entities for profit.  Using your information, these criminals can then:</p>
<p>	access your bank account funds<br />
	create new bank accounts with your information<br />
	create driver&#8217;s licenses<br />
	create passports</p>
<p>Attorney General Ashcroft stated that,</p>
<p>&#8220;Identity theft carries a heavy price, both in the damage to individuals whose identities are stolen and the enormous cost to America&#8217;s businesses.&#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be nave enough to think it won&#8217;t happen or couldn&#8217;t happen to you!</p>
<p>A group hosting a website known as shadowcrew.com was indicted on conspiracy charges for stealing credit card numbers and identity documents, then selling them online.  While this group allegedly trafficked $1.7 million in stolen credit card numbers, they also caused losses in excess of $4 million.</p>
<p>According to a Press Release issued by the Department of Justice on February 28, 2005, a hacker was convicted of several counts of fraud, one in which</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;he fraudulently possessed more than 15 computer usernames and passwords belonging to other persons for the purpose of accessing their bank and financial services accounts, opening online bank accounts in the names of those persons, and transferring funds to unauthorized accounts.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you are using a VoIP internet service provider and do not want to be a victim of Identity Theft, then take the first step to protect yourself  &#8212; don&#8217;t use VoIP internet service providers operating on industry standard codec and industry standard protocols.</p>
<p>Viruses, Worms, and Trojan Horses</p>
<p>On January 28, 2005, a press Release issued by the Department of Justice reported that a 19 year old was convicted for his criminal activity by &#8220;&#8230;creating and unleashing a variant of the MS Blaster computer worm.&#8221;  Christopher Wray, Attorney General &#8211; Criminal Division stated that,</p>
<p>&#8220;This &#8230; malicious attack on the information superhighway caused an economic and technological disruption that was felt around the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>On February 11, 2005, in a Press Release issued by the Department of Justice, reported that another criminal was sentenced for circulating a worm.  This worm,</p>
<p>&#8220;directed the infected computers to launch a distributed denial of service (DOS) attack against Microsoft&#8217;s main web site causing the site to shutdown and thus became inaccessible to the public for approximately four hours.&#8221;</p>
<p>March 7, 2005, Symantec.com posted discovery of a worm named &#8220;W32.Serflog.B&#8221; that spread through file-sharing networks and MSN Messenger &#8211; networks that operate on publicly open and interpretable industry standard codec and protocols, including P2P systems, as well as Instant Messaging systemsnone of which are protected, regardless of the anti virus software on your computer. The W32.Serflog.B worm also lowers security settings and appears as a blank message window on the MSN Messenger.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to be the next victim of the devastation created by worms, STOP using services that operate on industry standard codec and protocols, and/or services that incorporate P2P systems.</p>
<p>Anti virus software does not incorporate protection for Instant Messaging services.  In addition, Instant Messaging services, in and of themselves, do not include protection for their users.</p>
<p>If you like the convenience of text chatting via Instant Messaging, then use a VoIP internet service provider that includes the Instant Messaging feature &#8212; one that does not operate on industry standard codec or industry standard protocols that are publicly open and accessible.</p>
<p>Optimally secure VoIP service providers that incorporate a secure Instant Messaging feature, operate from their own proprietary high end encryption codec on patented technology that is hosted in a professional facility.  Simply put, when a VoIP internet service provider operates on optimally secure platforms, the Instant Messaging feature on the VoIP softphone, is also protected with their technology.</p>
<p>A Trojan horse is a program that internet criminals use to interrupt and interfere with your security software and produces the following results</p>
<p>	Terminates processes<br />
	Removes registry entries<br />
	Stops services<br />
	Delete files</p>
<p>Hackers, who have gained access to your computer, because of the programs and software as mentioned above, are having a field day incorporating this nasty little program into their arsenal of weapons.</p>
<p>As recently as March 4, 2005, a new Trojan horse was discovered that modified settings in Internet Explorer.  Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP were the reported systems that could be affected.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the bottom line.</p>
<p>1.	If you are currently using a VoIP internet solution provider that operates on industry standard codec and industry standard protocols that are publicly open and interpretable, you need to make a decision:</p>
<p>a.	 Continue enticing criminal hackers and remain on their service, or<br />
b.	Take immediate corrective action.</p>
<p>2.	If you are currently using Instant Messaging of any sort, you need to make a decision</p>
<p>a.	 Continue enticing criminal hackers and remain as a user of their service, or<br />
b.	Take immediate corrective action.</p>
<p>If you decide to take immediate corrective action:</p>
<p>1.	Find a VoIP internet solution provider that has their own proprietary high end encryption codec</p>
<p>2.	Find a VoIP internet solution provider that has their own proprietary patented technology</p>
<p>3.	Find a VoIP internet solution provider that hosts their proprietary patented technology in a professional facility</p>
<p>4.	Find a VoIP internet solution provider that includes the Instant Messaging feature in their proprietary patented technology</p>

When the levy plans were revealed in the month of June, people were under the impression that they would have to pay just &#163;6. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">The paper has been made by Revenue &amp; Customs, and it reports that tax will be determined with respect to the number of phone lines present in a house. Over 1.7 million homes in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> have more than one phone line.</P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">These rules will also be valid for those who have one regular telephone connection and one connection solely meant for fax or broadband. If anyone has all three connections, then he might have to end up paying &#163;21.15 every year instead of the &#163;6, which had been suggested at the outset. </P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">The document was leaked to the Conservatives, and it was found to contain notes featuring a &#163;30 million profit for the Treasury, as the government also has plans to levy a VAT charge on the already existing tax. The Times called this VAT charge an imposition of tax on tax. The tax will be valid for those who have high-speed fibre-optic lines as well as those having copper lines. </P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>  <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">This new plan of the government can scare away as many as 100, 000 customers, according to many ISPs.
