The Arrival of the Network Armies

The Effect on Public Policy And Marketing

Industry and government in the United States are addressing the task of dealing with ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) and its primary attribute, the Internet. The power of the Internet as a communications and marketing tool has become recognized as mission critical and is causing upheavals and reengineering throughout most industrial sectors and government agencies. This document presents a look at the decentralized phenomena known as Network Armies and proposes that a focus from the perspective of various user groups, along with the use of methodologies such as Cybernetics, will yield new and unimagined benefits in marketing and communications, new potential for private ownership of data, and a new paradigm of individual control in communications and marketing. Implementation of the ideas posited will result in substantive public policy considerations and will create a new sector on the Internet (C2B), with related political and monetary issues.

SchwartzReport: Net Net — Good New Rules from FCC — Bad Time Warner 97% Profit Margin

Advanced Cyber/IO, IO Impotency

GOOD: This is some wonderful news. The process is still not complete but the right decision appears imminent. Tele-communications are going to be seen as public utilities, equally open to all. There is still a vote to go, so it wouldn't hurt to write the FCC once again and tell them you support Chairman Wheeler's draft.

The head of the FCC just proposed the strongest net neutrality rules ever

BAD: This is why FCC Chairman Wheeler's plan is so important. Left to their own devices tele-communications companies would strip you down to you skives.

Stephen E. Arnold: Time as Analytic Factor — Recorded Future, Google, and CyberOSINT

Advanced Cyber/IO, IO Impotency

Recorded Future: Google and Cyber OSINT

EXTRACT: CyberOSINT relies on automated collection, analysis, and report generation. In order to make sense of data and information crunched by an NGIA system, time is a really key metatag item. To figure out time, a system has to understand: 1) The date and time stamp; 2) Versioning (previous, current, and future document, data items, and fact iterations); 3) Times and dates contained in a structured data table; 4) Times and dates embedded in content objects themselves; for example, a reference to “last week” or in some cases, optical character recognition of the data on a surveillance tape image.

BitTorrent Tests Websites Hosted in the Crowd, Not the Cloud

An experimental browser shows how peer-to-peer technology can serve up entire websites, not just individual files.

An experimental new Web browser makes it possible for sites to be hosted not on a company’s servers but, instead, by a shifting crowd of individuals on their personal computers. That turns the usual approach to serving up websites on its head and could provide a more effective and reliable way to disseminate bulky media files or distribute vital information in the event of natural disaster.

Foreword

By Robert David Steele

In 1986, I was selected from the CIA’s clandestine service to help lead a pilot project to bring the CIA into the 21st Century. From that moment almost 30 years ago, I have been obsessed with open sources of information in all languages, mediums, and computer-aided tools for analysis—everything the
CIA does not utilize today. I took my cue in the mid-1980s from author Howard Rheingold,0 who explored how computers could be used to amplify human thought and communication, and the CIA Directorate of Intelligence team of Diane Webb and Dennis McCormick.1
