Here's my second week-in-DC column. Topics include MS antitrust
lobbying, a conservative who's opposing library filtering, White House
privacy czar, trademark bill, IETF debate, ITU critique, etc:

An excerpt:
PRIVACY IS AN "ANTISOCIAL ACT":
Scott Bradner wasn't surprised to hear
the FBI say this week that they wanted
an easily wiretappable Internet.
The veteran Internet Engineering Task
Force area coordinator and Harvard
University networking guru has already
had his arm twisted by the Feds.
It happened when the IETF decided to
wire encryption into the next-generation
Internet protocol, IPv6.
"Someone very high up in the US Justice
Department told me that week that for
the IETF to support encryption was an
'antisocial act,'" Bradner said.
