Promoting the use of current ICT technologies and capabilities are among the most important tasks for ADOC 2.0. Bearing this in mind, 2009 has seen the introduction of a series of blog competitions which are designed to encourage all ADOC 2.0 project participants to use the web to post and share their stories with other project members. By hosting this interactive competition, we also aim to increase the awareness of the benefits that ICT can bring about.
The competition began early in 2009 by first inviting the stories of Promperu and their ADOC 2.0 trainees. One happy winner was announced during the ADOC 2.0 week hosted in Taipei in October of 2009. Since we want to continue hearing more stories and give trainees an opportunity to share their experiences obtained through the ADOC 2.0 training, we have decided to host a second competition with the participation of Lord Byron School in Peru and the municipalities of Peñalolen and Padre Las Casas in Chile. Winners will be announced in December by the ADOC Secretariat.
In order to determine the best Blog entries, the stories published are evaluated in terms of content, creativity, relevance, and impact. We expect to organize more competitions of this sort to give the same opportunity to many of the other ADOC centers in the Partner Member Economies.

Intel urges attractive regulations and policies

The world's largest semiconductor company, Intel, has recommended that Thailand's National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) develop attractive regulations and policies surrounding the WiMax wireless broadband technology, to draw international investment.
Further, it said, these attractive regulations and policies should involve the 2.3GHz band, with 30MHz of frequency per provider, and the auction method should be used to allocate licences covering the entire country.
Intel's telecom regulation and policy manager for Southeast Asia and Australia, Leighton Phillips, said such a policy could draw a lot of investment interest and funding from investors such as Intel Capital.
He said the two vital and fundamental criteria Intel considered when considering investment were that licences had to cover the whole country and each must grant at least 30MHz of frequency.
To date, Intel Capital has invested in WiMax in four countries in Asia: Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and Malaysia, with investments ranging from US$20 million to $50 million (Bt708.77 million to Bt1.77 billion).
He said regulatory change would encourage the growth and expansion of WiMax adoption and draw huge funding and investment. For example, Intel Capital invested $1.6 billion in US-based WiMax operator ClearWire after the US regulator amended its regulatory policy on WiMax, changing the service parameters and allowing re-banding to create contiguous licences.
"This regulatory policy change attracted $3.2 billion in new capital and led to aggressive WiMax deployment in the US," Phillips said.
Intel recommended that the Thailand regulator consider spectrum allocation in the 2.3MHz band because this was the spectrum chosen by many countries around the world and its adoption would mean that WiMax equipment, devices, solutions and services would be lower-priced because they would come from a mainstream market, leading to cheaper products for Thai consumers.
"An allocation of at least 30 MHz of freq uency would help operators to generate better returns on their investment, and offer attractions for investors. We also recommended that the regulator consider an auction system, rather than a beauty contest, as the best method of allocating frequencies to operators because an auction requires the shortest time," Phillips said.
According to the US-based Analysis Group, the availability of a wireless broadband network will create a consumer surplus around 18 times the spectrum value. And according to a paper called "The Economic Impact of Stimulating Broadband", published by US company Connected Nation, WiMax deployment will allow the creation of 2.4 million jobs.
Malicious' computer virus infects East Asia

HA NOI — Symantec said it had observed an increase in infections caused by the W32.Downadup virus over the holiday period and is urging organisations to apply a patch for Microsoft Windows Server Service RPC Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability as soon as possible.The internet security firm said W32.Downadup is a particularly malicious piece of code and one of the most prolific worms seen in years.This is largely attributed to the fact that it is capable of exploiting users running unpatched Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 SP1 systems.Other worms released over the past few years had largely targeted older system versions, which have an ever-decreasing distribution, Symantec said.The Symantec Intelligence Analysis Team said that it initially obtained the connecting IP, which can be either an externally facing infected system or an Internet gateway used by multiple systems using network address translation (NAT).Access to the IP address allows the team to approximate the number of infections and geographically map out infection density.The IP data shows that China and Argentina are by far the most infected areas and that East Asia and South America are the main sources of infection.In total the company had observed over three million unique IP addresses infected with W32.Downadup.A, Symantec said. — VNS
