<BR>Guarded Optimism
<BR>Even as companies plug more holes, the threats grow more sophisticated
<BR>By George V. Hulme
<BR>It wasn't so long ago that IT directors such as David Johnson at Kyanite=
 Mining Corp. believed they were losing the battle against viruses, worms, a=
nd other malicious data destroyers. Soon after computer systems were cleared=
 of one bug, another with a nickname such as Code Red or I Love You swept th=
rough their networks, clogging E-mail servers, infecting partners' and custo=
mers' networks, and sometimes wiping out information.

<BR>FCC sets rules for how carriers share customer data
<BR>By Scarlet Pruitt
<BR>THE U.S. FEDERAL Communications Commission (FCC) set forth new rules thi=
s week on how telecommunications carriers can share certain customer informa=
tion, giving telecom-related service providers a faster track to consumer da=
ta.
<BR>Carriers can share caller information with affiliates or third-party age=
nts that
<BR>provide communications-related services using an "opt-out" approach, the=
 FCC said. The policy means that consumers' information will be shared unles=
s they opt-out when receiving a notice of the carrier's intent to share thei=
r information.

<BR>After the Dot-Bomb: Getting Web Information Retrieval Right This Time
<BR>by Marcia J. Bates
<BR>In the excitement of the "dot-com" rush of the 1990's, many Web sites we=
re developed that provided information retrieval capabilities poorly or sub-=
optimally. Suggestions are made for improvements in the design of Web inform=
ation retrieval in seven areas.
<BR>Classifications, ontologies, indexing vocabularies, statistical properti=
es of databases
<BR>(including the Bradford Distribution), and staff indexing support system=
s are all discussed.

<BR>Bracing for the storm
<BR>Rachel Konrad, Staff Writer, News.com
<BR>Like many companies near seismic faults in Silicon Valley, eBay has emer=
gency plans in case an earthquake destroys critical Internet connections. Bu=
t these days another kind of tremor is a more imminent danger.
<BR>The costly disruption or slowdown of service because of financially stra=
pped telecommunication providers is the latest major concern for companies.
<BR>"We talk about natural or financial disasters and don't necessarily dist=
inguish
<BR>between the two," eBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said. "If the service a=
in't there, it ain't there. That's the bottom line. It doesn't matter why or=
 how it happened. We just need contingency plans to take care of customers."
