High Time For Review On Electoral Laws Says Election Commission Chairman
» ‎ Technorati for "e-democracy"

The Election Commission (EC) should undergo a review whereby it would receive more power to strengthen its capability during elections. EC Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman believed that a review was urgently required because the EC needed to have the power to put in place a completely new set of electoral roll which was acceptable to all. "We feel that there must be new laws making it easier for us to introduce or to prepare electoral rolls before each election. A roll that is not su

U.S. Cable Telephony Growth Strong in Q1 08
» ‎ IP and Democracy - (Internet Protocal)

As the cable industry heads into its big annual trade show this weekend in New Orleans, it has one major unqualified success to tout. U.S. cable operators added a collective 1.3 million net new voice customers during Q1 08, a strong run rate that is slightly higher than the 1.2 million or so net new voice customers gained by the same group in Q4 07. (Due to system swaps, sales and other structural changes, we can't do a year-over-year comparison for net voice adds).

By quarter's end, the top nine U.S. operators served a total of 14.5 million voice customers, up about 57% year-over-year, representing about 13% of the homes capable of buying telephone service from cable companies. Just for a competitive comparison, the top telcos, cable's main rivals, served around 5.7 million multichannel video customers, and they too gained a lot of ground on enemy turf in Q1 08. So both major communications providers continued to make good headway into each other's businesses during the quarter.

Well, if Hillary did nothing else, she gave us a few good lines, which seemed appropriate to go with the spanking the Times Editorial Board has given President Bush and the Senior Senator from Arizona, John McCain. President Bush’s penchant for slash-and-burn politics, learned at the feet of Karl Rove and the late Lee Atwater, is unseemly when practiced at home. It is shameful for the president and damaging for the country when put on display abroad. So it was especially distressing to hear

An amazing accusation has just been flung at John McCain by a completely "disinterested" party: James Rubin, President Clinton's State Department spokesman. Rubin accuses McCain of "hypocrisy" for attacking Barack Obama on his willingness to meet with rogue leaders and America's enemies throughout the world. While it seems a simple smear job -- easily debunked, as we do in this piece -- it's also a window into the utter inability of Democrats, not Republicans, to parse nuance, to understand why

John McCain: Maverick, Narcissist, or StudMuffin

Maverick vs StudMuffin. Dan Collins at the right-wing blog Protein Wisdom has taken to referring to John McCain as "Maverick." Of course, there's a little irony there. Conservatives don't like the deviations from the Republican Party line that gave McCain a reputation as a maverick during the Clinton and early Bush years. But "maverick" also has connotations of individualism, rebelliousness, and masculinity that the right-wing likes to project. Ultimately, Collins means it as a compliment.

McCain backed Bush up, as he should have, and as any person with any sort of common sense would of. We do not, nor should we ever, sit down with the enemy without preconditions.

US Senate Asks for National Security Letter Explanation

A group of U.S. Senators are asking the FBI to explain a recent controversial National Security Letter sent to the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive was able to defeat the request with help from the EFF and the ACLU this past April. "The Internet Archive's case is only the third known legal challenge to NSLs, despite the fact that the the FBI issues tens of thousands a year -- more than 100,000 such letters were issued in 2004 and 2005 combined. But despite the lack of legal challenges from recipients at ISPs, telephone companies and credit bureaus, successive scathing reports from the Justice Department's Inspector General have found illegal letters and a willy-nilly culture within the bureau towards tracking their usage."
