08-03-2010 - Multinationals left out in the cold for their mobile communications
Multinational companies in Europe lack cross-border services for their mobile communications. Some operators can provide international agreements but these are often simply bundles of local offerings – with different rates and invoicing. To enable a centralised management of international telephone and data networks, multinationals represented by INTUG and BELTUG call on operators and authorities including the EU Commission and the Body of Regulators of Electronic Communications (BEREC) to put in place an international, Europe-wide approach of mobile communications.

08-03-2010 - Study to help public authorities prioritise next-generation broadband
Digital Britain Minister Stephen Timms announced that a new government body responsible for rolling out next-generation broadband (NGA) across the UK is to start work. The announcement follows the publication of an Analysys Mason study forecasting the future reach of next-generation broadband access across the UK. The study will inform public authorities looking to invest in superfast broadband. The reality of a purely market-led rollout of NGA is that a significant proportion of households and businesses will still be unable to access the internet-based digital services that NGA makes possible. Danielle Jacobs, director BELTUG, intervened on behalf of INTUG/BELTUG in a discussion at the EU Commission, representing the users’ association. [PRE – 5 March 2010]

03-03-2010 - BlackBerry less insecure than other mail
The problem with security is not the device itself but the servers for the BlackBerry traffic (which are not in Belgium). The operating system of the BlackBerry is encrypted and can be renewed every 24 hours (giving hackers a very tough job). It is even safer than other smart phones, according to Danielle Jacobs, director of BELTUG. Apart from human carelessness in public places, Wi-Fi access in public hotspots is poorly secured.
