Huawei are selling their 'GreenNet' system to TalkTalk for re-branding under 'HomeSafe'.
From Huawei's own literature...
"With the spread of the broadband network, unhealthy websites containing information about pornography, drug dealing, and malicious religious groups on the Internet increase rapidly. The social problems caused by the chatting and making of friends by young people on the Internet become more and more serious. To solve these problems, many carriers launch the green surfing service."
"Malicious Religious Groups." 111?!!21@!!1
Now.. please do not get me wrong here but might I ask if Falun Gong, I might be certain they are nice folks, have made similar challenges against Huawei for internal suppression of Mallicious Religious Groups and the export of similarly capable technology outside of China or does it only become a problem when external USEndiens encroach on the internal Religious Suppression Market?
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure you added anything that detracted from my original statement unless you might be suggesting that the Mobile Network/ISP is in a position to combine their data with that available from the 'phone', and credit reports from [example] Nectar/Experian/WebBugs to build a better picture..... not that they would.. After all,
Bwah-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha
"Mobile networks record location data, but in the UK the information is only supposed to be available to law enforcement authorities through a court order obtained under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA).
IF ISP/BUSINESS THEN GOTO Bwah-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha ELSE SUCKS TO BE YOU
Tell me this...
Given the difference is multi $1,000,000, stolen from others, but concentrated into your back pocket would you not be talking to Mr ED of DBIS, champion of Net Neutrality', to make sure it finds its 'rightful' home.
Eh?
I am certain the ICO will 'do not a lot' in due course and the 'Vultures', no reference to REG, will continue to circle.
Righty Ho... Just got to pop next door and tidy up the NDN's disk of tracking cruft. After all I am certain that any sold storage system mentions in the purchase agreement that half of it will be used for such purposes with the appropriate data backed up elsewhere just in case.
Mine's the one with a TinFoil Lining. Well, actually it's metallised polyester film but the shiny plastic stuff is a different story. ;-)
Did my head and health in, don't know if I can 'claim'. Probably got the wrong sort of head.
Anyway having consumed immense amounts of vodka in an effort to fill it out I screwed it up and filed it down the toilet with added dump on top.
'Deadline' arrives and the conspirator asks me where mine is. Don't know why he had to ask in the design office. Could have caught me in a quiet corridor or the toilet or asked me into his office.
I tell him that it was bollocks and I threw it away.
No, seriously, I was not looking for effect I was just pissed off at the the the... ARGHH!!!!
I have 'issues'.
The rest of the design office crouches and stifles snorts and 'Dave' has to leave the locale for some reason whilst I get an invitation to 'The War Room'.
Here it is explained to me that 'top man' instigated it as being a good idea and if I do not fill it in I will be dobbed in to 'top man'.
Wooooooo....
Go ahead then.. End of Meeting.
Ho-Hum, sucks to be unemployable.
Better strip all those..

It seems to me that the reactors, and the rest, got bricked and then people had to shit themselves dealing with it. I don't doubt the competence, ingenuity and bravery of those involved but, from my perspective based on nothing, there was no contingency for this and the reaction was made up as the situation unfolded.
Perhaps Mr Page, as an expert, might wish to correct me regarding such contingency, if it existed, or perhaps Mr Page might like to consider composing a different version of his tale after the event given a scenario where things did not work out so well rather than concentrating on the present, thankful but possibly cobbled together, 'success'.
Shouldn't they have chain-sawed the offending shelves down to size, ignoring the stacked contents and thereby shredding them as well. Then tossed the air-con out of a closed widow thus creating air-con and offered whingy bloke a bottle of wash up liquid and a scouring pad, docked out of his wages, to set him up in his new franchise?

Just a moment, I've come over all nauseous again.
I can't remember who did it or what it was about, excuse me whilst I wipe the blood out of my eyes, but it certainly seems to have had a long term effect on both my physical and mental memory.
I am probably not the first to 'comment'.. but
"Facebook has fundamentally changed the way we communicate in our personal lives," said Benioff.
"The acquisition of Dimdim will help Salesforce.com deliver to the enterprise the same integrated collaboration and communication experience that made Facebook the world's most popular internet site."
Oh.. So now 'The Enterprise' wishes to pony up all its mission critical information at the flick of an 'upgrade' switch.
Dribbling out of my ears. I'll just go cook some bacon..
Elsewhere..
According to reports the couple plan to wed on New Year's Day in 2012. A source said: "They are besotted with each other and can't wait to tie the knot."
HUH???
OK, has the BEEB not got enough funding left to recharge the iTARDIS batteries and let them get on with it? Nothing good will come of this imposed year of celibacy.
Rumpy Pumpy whilst not being 'married' seems most Un-Doctorish to me. Still I suppose if they just keep it to 'besotted' then the 'Guild of Time Lords' will not have a problem.
Bring back Jon Pertwee and the Maggots, bugger that was not intended. I'll just make sure there is a bit of space behind the sofa to go hide.
Kids today. Dr Who? Last I heard Kylie Minogue was part of the scene. Pah, bet they did not dissolve her head with maggot vomit..

Firmware and software updates to the machine maybe however one of the 'ideas' of the system, as claimed, is that it is meant to 'anonymise' URLs. Indicators elsewhere suggest that it has been failing to do that. That may or would mean it has been collecting and scanning URLs pointing to places it really had no right to do so. Given its location in the network it is also likely to have been collecting and scanning URLs from sources other than web activity, for example links e-mailed to people which they visit later.
The AVG link scanner caused some annoyance as a result of overloading sites but that relied on URLs trawled by search engines which would have been in 'plain sight' in the first place. This one has the opportunity to go deeper and it has done replaying session URLs and others which search engines will not have seen in the first place.
Of course common sense and security would dictate that you do not go e-mailing 'secret' links to the plans of your latest mutant rabbit army about the place... but if you did and the recipient had GreenNet in their ISP then the secret is out and we would be overrun by mutant rabbit armies. Alarmist maybe. After all SOP is to leave such information on a laptop on the back seat of the No 9 bus.
Furthermore I might be wrong but part of the DPA involves rules against transferral of data to third parties. If, for example, a TalkTalk DSE GreenNet system is handing over this data to such a third party, in this case Huawei, then they may run foul of the relevant legislation. Of course if these URLs have been properly anonymised then maybe not but it renders the whole thing no better in terms of performance than other available systems that do not have to sit in the network and scrape URLs from customer communications.
Otherwise yes!!!1 It's the Chinese FFS and all that loverly data is being handed back to them. Naturally if it was Cisco there would not be a problem because we can trust the Americans not to do anything naughty with any intel that might result from such activities.

"Focus on value-add solution bassed on DPI product. Building joint venture with advertising soulution company Phorm both in China and Global. Research MSSP market and planning security as a service solution."
"Focus on value-add solution bassed on DPI product. Sepecially [sic] in advertising soulution. Research MSSP market and planning security as a service solution."
I might suggest that the 'Security as a Service solution is in fact the GreenNet solution being used by TalkTalk. Funny thing that. This bloke working with Phorm and TalkTalk at the same time what with TalkTalk being associated with Phorm in the past.
I also seem to remember Symantec calling some of Phorms previous efforts spyware and rootkits. Now one of their divisions is actively working with the company. Still, I suppose time stands still.
Anyone notice how the GreenNet system 'phones home' to update 'databases'...?

"Updates the DPI signature library, URL classification database, malicious Web site database at Huawei security update website in real time. The update does not require intervention and is easy to operate and manage."
Of course any suggestion that the same might happen with the iTarget/Phorm solution would be 'an intentional unjustified slur on the firm's reputation' so I won't make any such suggestion.

Nice reception Dick.
Thanks Clive.
Basically you get what you were asking for, even if you did not know you were asking for it, and criminals would do it to you anyway so why not big business? In fact I'm sure that it scales such that big business can do it cheaper and more effectively than the criminal fraternity might ever hope to achieve so that will put the criminals out of business... so maybe they can re-hire them under some Gov job creation scheme so they can drive nice cars and use Macs plus they can centralise all the data gathered in order to make better use of it.

So John.. I don't know about Alexander's solution but it seems you do so perhaps you might care to explain what it is and why it won't work then provide a better one yourself... or do we just accept that in order to have a free interwebs we have to give away information to the marketing drones so they can sell less aware people tut, overprice it when they get the opportunity and ram some extras about the shop whilst loading up the dice against them elsewhere and the rest of it.
You know......
As a 'worldly' person you pick up a VHS recorder from Comet for £5 and treat the sales person like dirt as they try to boost you with the £345 12 year extra super plus parts, service and replacement guarantee but you only got yours for £5 because some mug paid the extra. Obviously you just flash your near field equipped iWhatever about the shop and get a free IKEA on your way out of the door.

Pssssst Struan. Want to by some Clearasil?
Fuck Me! What are you getting so up tight about? I just ran your picture, demographics and desire for cookies through the BTA engine and it says you need more Zit Cream to stop possible future face eruptions. It's all been anonymised and sent off to... Anyway, so I take it you don't need Zit Cream. How about some Zit Cream. No? Car insurance? Oh, OK..... sorry about that one. Don't get too shitty about next weeks 1284 telephone calls trying to sell you it then. So, about this Zit Cream? You don't need it? BTA engine says you do. Travel insurance then. Refill for your car deodorizer. Homoeopathic Viagra.....
KaChing.
I just knew we would get there eventually. Thank you for checking the 'Leave me the Fuck Alone Box' as implemented under the new EU directives.

You have received this message because whilst you thought you were dead clever by checking box 15)ii]a/iv you forgot to persistently logically check/uncheck the other ones and totally missed the hidden link at the bottom of page 3) thus agreeing that we are allowed to do 'things'. Thanks for signing up.
Now then..... what about this Zit Cream or shall we discuss your pubic hair problems?
What the Fuck are you moaning about now!!! BTA engine says you have pubic hair problems. Get over yourself. It's all anonymised and e-mailed to your Google account. Sheesh.
"TalkTalk have modified their network so as to make URLs available (to themselves, so they can do things with them)."
Not quite. The indication is that they have allowed Huawei to install equipment in the Radius, probably supplied by Huawei as well which gifts the URL's to Huawei so that Huawei can visit those URL's and profile the content.

Yup... it was for shit.
Latest idea is you crimp it, weld it shut and then pump concrete down
it.
Colour [color] me cynical but my guess is you are trying to keep that
wellhead operational for production capacity and sod the consequences
elsewhere.
Or are you saying it is damaged to the extent that if you did try to
seal it it would tub its nuts and you would end up with a bigger mess
than the one you have created to date?
You disgust me.

After due care and consideration I have decided that BP have 'run the numbers' and decided that totally fucking up the environment in the Gulf Of Mexico is a secondary concern to maintaining operation of the well head that is currently spuking oil all over the place.
It cost them money to drill it, if they can keep it then that gives them production capacity for more profit, and the last thing they are going to do is kill it.
Here is a loopy idea.
Crimp the pipe and weld it shut. Surely Fucking problem solved?
Oh no.... actually we want to piss about the shop because this well head, if we get to recover it, will make us shedloads of money plus we are drilling two more for extra capacity, uhm to relieve the situation......
Bollocks Fucking Bollocks Fucking Bollocks.
Some FuckHead ran the sums of what they will have to pay out for verifiable reported damage, which they will contest, versus what the well head is worth to them.
Fuck You BP
