ICANN's Strong Rebuke to Verisign's Chuck Gomes by St?phane Van Gelder
Word to the wise: Fadi Chehad?'s ICANN isn't going to criticism lying down! In the past, the organisation has tended to react to criticism with a silence that was probably considered a way to avoid aggravating critics any further, but instead tended to infuriate people that were expecting answers. No longer. Since Chehad? came in as CEO, they get answers!

On a Skype connection that is unusually consistent, a 31-year-old man is describing his anxiety attack to Doctor Sirfraz Hussain. "Big headache, sweating ? I got really scared, I was going in and out of the toilet every five minutes." He pressed his heart, to indicate the fear that mustered around it like a physical pain. His cat got up off the windowsill and moved towards him; for those of a romantic bent, it looked as though it were trying to comfort him. He only half the time made eye contact, the rest of the time casting his eyes towards the ceiling, evasively, as though he were ashamed of having to ask for help.

The 39-page criminal complaint filed against him makes for a fascinating read. In less than 3 years, the Silk Road is said to have become ?the most sophisticated and extensive criminal marketplace on the Internet today,? facilitating roughly $1.2 billion in sales* among many thousands of anonymous users. Hundreds of kilograms of illegal drugs are thought to have been sold through the site. People would log on using the Internet anonymity tool Tor, browse listings not unlike those at Amazon.com, read reviews left by other customers, place orders, and get ecstasy or LSD or cocaine or meth sent by mail.

Australia is one of the most sparsely populated countries on Earth. Many of its major cities are separated by expansive stretches of inhospitable desert. Technology, however, is no respector of barriers, natural or man-made and an initiative across Australia from Cisco and Australia?s Academic and Research Network (AARNet) proves that point. Yesterday, Cisco and AARNet announced the deployment of one of the longest unregenerated high performance optical networks in the world.
