Why do Chinese enterprises ignore Internet?
The Internet has connected China for a whole decade. It
affects people's lives and at the same time have penetrated
into the management and operation of enterprises.
Nonetheless, Chinese enterprises just started to access the
Internet, while for enterprises in developed countries, it
has long been the most common management practice used in
routine management, strengthening of communication among
teams and liaison with clients. Obviously, there is still

enterprises.

uk: Powergen awarded whistleblower's domain
Powergen has won a domain name dispute against a critic who
has become a thorn in its side since he highlighted a
serious breach in consumer security at the utility more

ownership of the domain PoWergen.tv from John Chamberlain
to the utility. Chamberlain told El Reg he had no plans to
appeal the decision. "Looks like I've lost my domain name
powergen.tv," he conceded.
