BITS & BYTES Comodo Appoints Carlos Rego as Managing Director of PSOFT Comodo Inc, a global leader in Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions today announced the appointment of Carlos Rego as Managing Director of PSOFT. Mr. Rego has worked for PSOFT since 2002 as Director of Business Development and will now assume full control of global sales, marketing and business development operations. Prior to joining PSOFT, Carlos served in a wide range of senior management positions including president of datacenter and hosting company Datacolo, and CEO/Owner of WizardsHosting. “From day one, Carlos took an energetic and proactive approach to the establishment and nurturing of relationships with key business partners,” commented Igor Seletskiy, Technical Director Comodo Inc. “His extensive knowledge of the web hosting and data center industry has been invaluable both to the continuing growth of PSOFT and to the development of our range of hosting infrastructure solutions. We are delighted that Carlos will use this track record to help shape PSOFT and H-Sphere into the dominant force in the web hosting industry.” PSOFT, whose assets include offices in Brooklyn, USA and a huge development center in Ukraine, were acquired by Comodo in 2004.

House Committee Releases Plan for Telecom Reform The New Draft Improved, But Still Flawed says Competitive Enterprise Institute Technology Counsel The U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce this week released a “Staff Discussion Draft” of its plan for reforming regulation of the telecommunications industry. The Staff Discussion Draft is a noticeable improvement over the draft previously circulated by the Committee. And while it updates current law to reflect new technologies and ways of communicating, for IP-based communications it actually creates new regulation. Consumers and industry alike would be best served by legislation that is deregulatory in all aspects. The draft bill includes troubling provisions that prevent video providers from targeting early adopter consumers (“redlining”), even though this business practice is common in most other technology industries. It still requires the filing of registration statements with the FCC for broadband, VoIP and video providers – regardless of size, messaging platform or need for price regulation – that raises potential civil liberty implications. And the draft bill does nothing to reduce the number of telecommunications lawyers in Washington, D.C., due to broad language on interconnection, consumer protection, and universal service. Broadly speaking, new telecom legislation should be more than just an update of existing law to reflect new technologies. It’s time to go back to first principles and not just revisit the 1996 Telecom Act, but analyze the basis for communications regulation itself. Market players – both consumers and telecom companies – deserve more than a mere “update.” For maximum benefit, the structure and powers exercised by the FCC need to be radically re-examined and, in most cases, phased out altogether. ....................... 8 Ping!
