Today's focus: Face-off: Is 'de-perimeterization' a good idea?

By Jeff Caruso

Is 'de-perimeterization' a good idea?

Much has been made of the Jericho Forum's
back-to-the-drawing-board approach to security, where the
concept of a network security perimeter is scrapped in favor of
other technologies. In our Face-off, Jamie Bodley-Scott presents
the case for such a security overhaul, while Joel Snyder insists
the effort is misguided.
Yes: Bodley-Scott

No: Snyder

Google's bizarre behavior

The folks at Google have apparently lost their minds, says Paul
McNamara. This week he makes the rare move of coming to the
defense of another news organization, one that has been targeted
by Google simply for using the company's search engine and
reporting the results.

The FCC's lack of concern for broadband customers

'Net Insider Scott Bradner this week looks at the FCC's recent
statements and concludes that it really has the incumbent
carriers' needs at heart. Law enforcement is also a high
priority. As for customers, however, that's a different story.

Information whirlwind

Howard Anderson this week steps back and looks at our world of
instant messaging, blogging and getting music and video on
demand. It's a world where everyone is communicating - receiving
a dizzying array of information and pushing a good deal back out
to everyone else. Is this a good thing?
