NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

The Internet free ride has to come to an end

They say there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, and that
rule applies to the Internet backbone as much as anything else.

Massachusetts outfit switches to more secure network

The events of Sept. 11, 2001, forced the Massachusetts Port
Authority, which operates Boston's Logan Airport and other
properties, to re-examine its security practices on a number of
levels. While the attacks didn't directly result in Massport
revamping its internal network, they did expedite that effort.

protection.
