I think the main thing is that it's a much more "interesting" Internet geopolitics story for a U.S. business magazine (and research mailing list ;) than e.g. the discussions in Geneva right now on how the rest of the world might get some decent representation in running the Internet. http://www.internetgovernance.org/ http://www.wgig.org/ Cheers, Danny -- http://www.dannybutt.net adventures in cultural politics - http://acp.dannybutt.net digital media - http://digital.dannybutt.net On 4/20/05 10:19 AM, "jeremy hunsinger" <jhuns@vt.edu> wrote:
umm, if you really want to know. that study entailed last week congressional testimony, which was probably the origin of the article. it also had a press release or two. opennet is utoronto, harvard, and cambridge more or less. if you want specific info, I can provide contacts as appropriate.

<http://www.redherring.com/Article.aspx? a=11815&hed=Net%20Censors%20Active%20in%20China> "Internet Filtering in China in 2004-2005: A Country Study" is a result
of the OpenNet Initiative (ONI). Funded by George Soros' Open Society Institute, ONI is a collaboration of researchers at Harvard University,
the University of Cambridge, and the University of Toronto working on issues of Internet censorship and surveillance. The organization's conclusion: in China, web users are both closely watched and often prevented from seeing content of a political, religious, or sexual nature.
