Google Races to Speed up the Web
,----[ Quote ]
| At first pass, it's hard to argue with this
| reasoning, particularly when many of the
| Google efforts are free and available as open-
| source software, which anyone can adopt,
| modify and use.
|
| Plus, Web latency remains a chronic, thorny
| problem with many improvement opportunities,
| and Google has the financial and talent
| resources needed to lead the way and tackle
| the bottlenecks.

Mandatory Use of Open Standards In Hungary
,----[ Quote ]
| "Hungarian Parliament has made the use of
| open standards mandatory by law in the
| intercommunication between public
| administration offices, public utility
| companies, citizens and voluntarily joining
| private companies, conducted via the central
| governmental system. The Open Standards
| Alliance initiating the amendment aims to
| promote the spread of monopoly-free markets
| that foster the development of
| interchangeable and interoperable products
| generated by open standards, and,
| consequently, broad competition markets,
| regardless of whether the IT systems of
| interconnecting organizations and
| individuals use open or closed source
| software. In the near future, in spite of EU
| tendencies the Alliance seeks to make its
| approach â interoperability based on
| publicly defined open standards â the EU
| norm under the Hungarian presidency of the
| European Union in 2011. To that end, it will
| promote public collaboration â possibly
| between every interested party, civil and
| political organization in the European
| Union. What do you think: what would be the
| best way to cooperate?"
