In 2009, more Internet-enabled phones were sold than laptops, according to a Morgan Stanley mobile Internet report. The report predicts more users may connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years.  Consumers are using their mobile phones to engage with retailers, shop and buy…in real-time.

Our new application will allow users to quickly access Codero accounts through iPhones and get real-time server information. From ticket and invoice management, to configurations and IP address reviews, the application is ideal for those on the go. More features for the application will be launched down the road, but this is an early chance to beta test what is currently available.

Codero is always working behind the scenes to make sure we provide customers with relevant offerings. We welcome you as a iPhone beta tester to become an important part of this process as we continue to launch the products and services most in demand by our customers.

We are currently working with multiple electrical companies testing every component in the switching gear that failed to transfer power over to the generator as it should have.  As of yet, the exact cause has not been confirmed, though we are expecting a detailed report early next week.  After this, we will repair any faulty equipment as quickly as we can.

We appreciate your patience, and assure you we will release the incident report as soon as we complete it.

Regards,

Ryan Elledge
Chief Operating Officer

Can ISP’s survive the FBI mandated infrastructure?
Having worked in the internet industry for the past eleven years, I have had numerous occasions where I have had to cooperate with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies on cases of child pornography, and it clearly is one of the most disgusting matters I have ever had to deal with.  I have no issues with, and wholly support, ISPs and hosting providers assisting law enforcement in tracking down those who participate in child pornography issues.  I do, however, find it troubling that the government might legislate what information must be stored and for how long the information must be kept.  The hardware and software infrastructure alone would be difficult for many ISPs to handle, not to mention the additional cost to the organizations in an industry where pricing pressure is already forcing margins to be minimal, if existent.

What data is kept?
Many questions are raised by this request, that all Americans (in our free society) should be asked:  What data will be required to be retained?  Will it merely be records of what customer had what IP address at what time, or will it expand into keeping copies of instant messages and e-mails sent?  Who will have access to this information, and truly in what instances can the government subpoena this information?

Will your future be affected?
While publicly it sounds great to say you want this data retained for child pornography investigations, it will inevitably be used for much more.  Remember those e-mails you sent where you complained about your elected official?  Well, an audit might just well be around the corner for you.  How about those perfectly legal adult sites you were visiting late at night?  Don’t be surprised if that doesn’t come up if you decide to run for a political office.

What do you think about the FBI’s request? Do you think it will change the way you browse the Web?
