the best justice money can buy --Lessig suspended
by Attila T. Hun 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >>> the best justice money (and politics) can buy I really do not believe this --this is bought justice as appeals courts never, or at least rarely such as a blatant in the case of a blatant error in a capital murder criminal trial, interfere with a sitting federal judge. the damage is immense; it delays the first round of adjudication by at least 5 months. if I were Joel Klein I would go for the jugular and file action for an immediate divestiture of M$ including injunctions against operations and management by Bill Gate$ and Steve Ballmer. the appeals court would probably suspend the actions, but they would still be there and on the table. Jackson at this point will be furious --hopefully he keeps total cool. the obvious next move on the part of M$ will be to have Jackson disqualified for bias. that will make 2 judges in the DC circuit who M$ has wasted. Royce Lambert refused to accept the 1994 plea bargain --obviously M$ would ask him to recuse if his name came out of the barrel; theoretically, cases are assigned by lottery --in reality, you can influence the choice of a judge as the cases are assigned at the time of filing by rotation. --M$ obviously is capable of shopping for a judge. at this point, I would say M$ has won the game. W98 will be released with IE4 as the desktop, complete with push channels and www.msn.com --at that point, Jackson --if he is still the sitting judge-- will be forced to make a bad law decision if he tries to block it on the 1994 agreement: the product is 'integrated' --M$ had the foresight to hoodwink the DOJ --Royce Lambert saw through the smoke screen but the appeals court removed him from the case. so... we will have multiple choice of OS: M$ on Intel, M$ on SGI, M$ on Alpha --and SUN goes down the tubes as they will never capitulate. M$ will bury IBM with their NT alliance with Ahmdal who clones all the IBM iron --which is fading against the clustered servers. IBM long since gave in on OS/2 versus M$ --it may figure in their corporate strategy, but unless they are willing to update past Netscape 2.02 they will lose that as well --in fact you can no longer any of the IBM PCs with OS/2 preloaded --except by special order: in quantity. Bill Gate$ for President? might as well... maybe Lee Harvey Oswald will come to the rescue. Lessig appointment suspended By Dan Goodin, C|Net February 2, 1998, 6:40 p.m. PT A federal appeals court has immediately suspended the appointment of a contested computer expert charged with collecting and weighing evidence in the antitrust case the Justice Department has brought against Microsoft. In a ruling handed down late Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia granted Microsoft's request to halt, pending further review, the proceedings before visiting Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig. U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson appointed Lessig a "special master" in mid December, giving the computer and Internet law expert until May 31 to recommend factual and legal findings in the high-profile case. The one-page ruling is a significant--but by no means final--win for Microsoft, which repeatedly has objected to Lessig's appointment. In briefs filed first in district court and then with the court of appeals, Microsoft strenuously has opposed the designation of any special master in the case, but has argued further that Lessig is an inappropriate choice because he appears to be biased against the software giant. In a sternly worded order issued two weeks ago, Jackson denied Microsoft's request, calling the allegations of bias "trivial" and "defamatory." Today's ruling by the court of appeals is in stark contrast to Jackson's order, and may indicate that the three-judge panel assigned to hear matters in the case sees things in a different light. Rather than permanently halting the proceedings, today's ruling is an agreement only to consider Microsoft's challenge to the special master--known in legal parlance as a writ of mandamus. In a sign that the judges may be inclined to agree with Microsoft's arguments on the issue, however, they handed Redmond an additional win by immediately halting the proceedings scheduled to take place before Lessig while the challenge is being heard. "It is extremely unusual for a court of appeals to reach down and stop what a district court has ordered," said Rich Gray, an antitrust attorney at Bergeson, Eliopoulos, Grady & Gray. "The court of appeals is saying, 'We're interested in hearing more about this, and in the meantime, we're going to put the special master on hold.'" A Microsoft spokesman agreed. "This is a very positive step, but it's only one small step in a long process," said Jim Cullinan. "We look forward to presenting our evidence to the appeals court as well as the trial court." The court of appeals already had agreed to hear a separate appeal, in which Microsoft is fighting a preliminary injunction Jackson issued in December that requires Microsoft to separate browser software from its Windows products. Today's ruling consolidates both motions into the same April 21 hearing. It also requires both sides to file additional briefs concerning the special master challenge by April 7. Moreover, the government must file its opposition to Microsoft's appeal of the preliminary injunction by March 2, and Microsoft must respond to that brief by March 9. Justice Department representatives were not immediately available for comment. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.

too little too late: SPA takes on M$
by Attila T. Hun 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >>> too little and too late, SPA takes on Microsoft this might have been a good action in so much as they are well entrenched, in part on M$' money, as Washington lobbiests. now, with Lessig's role as the court appointed expert suspended by the appeals court until a 21 Apr hearing (submissions due in early April), their voice will be lost in the court action. any action they stimulate with Orrin Hatch's judiciary is a) too late; too slow --at least two years; 3) of little consequence as Congress can not legislate against a specific company --they can legislate by regulation against an industry; and, 4) more importanty, the Appeals Court castrated Johnson's order for the special administrator. still, it is another voice; even though the guidelines are bland, there is no mistalking who the target is; and, in typical M$' fashion they are threatening to drop their membership instead of renewing in August. there are three areas where M$ is exercising monetary influence, even control of the agenda, in legislation or justice: the DOJ action with their crying to Daddy (the appeals court), the SPA guidelines which they intend to force SPA to withdraw, and as part of the closed circle negotiating the rules on intellectual property and trade for the Western Hemisphere free trade zone --closed meetings. as I said: Gate$ makes Cornelius Vanderbilt look like a choir boy. Software group takes on Microsoft By Courtney Macavinta February 2, 1998, 5:05 p.m. PT As the federal antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft barrels forward, a prominent high-tech trade association tomorrow will release a list of competition principles that strike at the heart of the case and angered the software giant. The Software Publishers Association (SPA) hasn't officially responded to the Justice Department's accusations that Microsoft violated a 1995 consent decree by requiring computer makers to bundle its Internet Explorer browser as a condition of licensing its Windows 95 operating system. But the new guidelines echo some of its smaller members' and the government's complaints regarding Microsoft. The SPA's guidelines come one day after New York State's attorney general said he and ten other state prosecutors subpoenaed Microsoft for evidence of potentially illegal bundling of Windows and Internet software. In addition, the Senate Judiciary Committee and regulatory agencies from Japan and the European Union also are looking into Microsoft's business practices. (See related story) The SPA says it set out to develop the principles to define its role in the fair competition debate, which focuses on its largest member. The SPA has been sought for advice by lawmakers in the past, and it states that the new principles are intended to "guide government officials" in antitrust enforcement. Hitting home with Microsoft foes, the SPA principles state: "Operating systems should not be used to unfairly favor its own products and services, or its favored partners, over those competing vendors. The operating system vendor should not include its own services or products as part of the operating system or user interface unless it gives the same ability to integrate products and services into the operating system to competing vendors." The SPA went on to state that "the tying of certain applications to the sale of other applications has the effect of restraining competition among independent software vendors for the 'virtual shelf space' of [PC makers]." Dominant operating systems also should not "favor Internet content" that it owns or licenses, according to the guidelines. The principles say that healthy competition is reliant on equal access to retail customers. On the other hand, pre-announcing products that do not exist yet, so-called vaporware, stifles competition. Prior to developing the principles, the 1,200-member group surveyed its domestic members. Of the 164 that responded, anticompetitive activity was a top concern. As reported in January, the issue also took the spotlight at two scheduled meetings in Santa Clara, California. The SPA's Government Affairs Committee even met with Joel Klein, the Justice Department's lead attorney in the lawsuit against Microsoft. Microsoft fired back today, calling the SPA's process "short-sighted" and the publication of the principles "self-destructive." The company also quipped that it is undecided on whether it will renew its SPA membership, which expires in August. Although Microsoft was present at the SPA's California meetings last month, so were some of its main competitors, such as Novell, Netscape Communications, Apple Computer, and Oracle Corporation. "It's unfortunate that a handful of Microsoft's competitors are trying to use the SPA to drive a wedge into the software industry. This whole process has been such an obvious attack on Microsoft," Mark Murray, a spokesman for the company, said today. "I think the primary impact of this is that the SPA will be discredited, and that it will weaken their ability to serve as a legitimate voice," he added. The SPA knew its principles would be searched for hidden meaning regarding the Microsoft case, but the group contends it wasn't targeting the company. "The principles are not intended to prescribe remedies that might be applied by federal and state antitrust enforcers to any particular company or set of circumstances," SPA president Ken Wasch said in a statement. "Nor are these principles a call for general regulation of our industry. Rather, the principles reflect an industry consensus of how some business practices promote or impair strong competition." Still, for a group with no regulatory power, the SPA's opinion will hold some weight. The group is expected to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee when it holds hearings on issues of competition in the high-tech industry this year. Moreover, the new principles amend the organization's existing guidelines, which were presented to the Federal Trade Commission during a hearing two years ago. During the hearing, the SPA advised the government to carefully scrutinize companies that allegedly impede others from getting space on retail store shelves. The SPA also took the position that owners of dominant operating systems should release essential technical information to other developers. Both points remain in the new eight-point plan. The remaining SPA competition principles include: Maximize innovation to benefit consumers. The owners of dominant operating systems should license their "interface specifications to any third party for the purposes of developing application software." "Barriers" should not be put up by dominant operating systems that limit consumers' or hardware makers' ability to reconfigure their desktops or utilize any software or online content services. Software vendors "should not intentionally disable, cripple, or otherwise interfere with the intended functionality and execution of other products." Operating systems should not prohibit Web sites from "exploiting the access capabilities of competing products" or force sites to display and promote their products. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.

BSAFE 4.0 to force GAK?!
by steve 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FYI Jan. 26's Network World has an article on page 33 titled "RSA blasts (but also supports) Government encryption policy". The paragraph of note is the fourth paragraph which reads:"The next version of the RSA encryption toolkit, BSAFE 4.0, will force those building products with anthing over 56 bit strength encryption to use a key-recovery center for exportable products...." I haven't been able to confirm this with other sources yet but the glaring question is how will this be enforced and how will it affect domestic products that wish to use BSAFE 4.0 for their crypto. Further what ramifications does this hold for their S/Mail toolkit for S/MIME? and I haven't seen this discussed on the list yet. Steve O -- A picture tells a thousand words.

New RAND IW Study
by Steve Schear 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A very interesting RAND study, In Athena's Camp, was recently released. From the preface: "New modes of war, terrorism, crime, and even radical activism-are all these emerging from similar information-age dynamics? If so, what is the best preparation for responding to such modes? When the subject is warfare, for example, it is common wisdom that militaries tend to prepare for the last war, and there is much historical evidence to support this notion. Today, however, it is clear that defense establishments around the world-and especially in the United States-are thinking about how war will change, how the "revolution in military affairs" (RMA) will unfold, and how the next war may well be quite different from the last. Whether the focus is warfare, terrorism, crime, or social conflict, we have striven to anticipate what the spectrum of future wars and other types of conflicts will look like." http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR880 --Steve

potus manipulation for fun and profit

Given the Head of State's alleged affinitity for "covert personal operations", consider the potential for manipulating him by any three-letter-agency skilled in surveillance.

I really am not so worried about Microsoft's software strategy as I am about their communication infrastructure strategy. Every time I go to a computer show or swap meet, I see stacks of Linux CDs selling like hot cakes. Most anyone with a clue who doesn't like Billy's crapware knows precisely where to find something better. What concerns me more is the partnerships that Billy & Co. are making with internet providers, especially cable & DSL. Many of the cable modem service providers have notoriously bad reputations for using packet filters to block stuff they don't like. These days, any internet provider who tries that shit usually finds its customers going elsewhere, but when there's only one or two cable providers and Mickeysoft owns them all, then what? The solution, of course, is encrypted IP, something which has been moving far too slowly. Frankly I'm pretty disappointed with the apparent unwillingness of several IETF members to address the obvious MITM attacks, such as CBC cut-and-paste. It is going to royally suck when we have to redo it because the protocol didn't work the first time.

Morales ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v ) CIV NO 97 0266 ) SC/DJS ) Lieutenant General Kenneth A. Minihan, USAF ) Director, National Security Agency ) National Security Agency ) ) Defendant ) REPLY TO DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT BASED ON EVIDENCE FROM ADMISSIONS 1 COMES NOW plaintiffs Payne [Payne] and Morales [Morales] [Plaintiffs], pro se litigants to exercise their rights guaranteed under the Constitution, Rules of Civil Procedure, and Local Civil Rules to respond to Defendant's MOTION filed on 98 JAN-5 within the 14 days allowed by local rule 7.3(b)(4). 2 US Attorney Mitchell [Mitchell] writes, Counsel for Defendant was not served with copies of any of said Requests for Admissions until sometime after the individuals had been served.2 Mitchell WAS SERVED PLAINTIFFS' FIRST SET OF REQUEST FOR ADMISSION TO NSA DIRECTOR KENNETH MINIHAN I HEREBY CERTIFY that a copy of the foregoing request for admissions was mailed to Jan Elizabeth Mitchell, Assistant US Attorney, 525 Silver SW, ABQ, NM 87102 this Monday November 3, 1997. Michell was not served with any other admissions since Mitchell is not representing others. Plaintiffs' served Defendant Minihan properly. And Minihan failed to respond to Minihan's admissions within the time 1 allotted by law. 3 US Attorney Mitchell writes, As grounds for the Motion and Memorandum, Defendant argued that Plaintiffs had blatantly disregarded this Court's Order pertaining to the conduct of discovery and the deadline for discovery in this Freedom of Information Act action. Judges Svet and Campos willfully violated Plaintiffs' right to Discovery. And thereby earned criminal complaint affidavits filed with judge Scalia of the Supreme Court. 4 US Attorney Mitchell writes, In Defendant's Motion and Memorandum, Counsel for Defendant also objected to Plaintiffs' sua sponte decision to modify the Court's June 11 Order to reflect the delay of the Court's October 7 Order and the establishment, without leave of this Court, of new deadlines for discovery, motions practice, and the filing of the PreTrial Order. (Motion and Memorandum 9, at 4.) Judge Svet and Campos attempt to deny Plaintiffs' right to Discovery, again, earned Svet and Campos criminal complaint affidavits. Plaintiffs exercise their right under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Constitution to conduct Discovery WITHOUT LEAVE OF COURT! 5 US Attorney Mitchell writes, By their own request, Plaintiffs sought to stay a ruling on the Defendant's Motion and Memorandum. Absent any ruling on either the Motion and Memorandum or Plaintiffs' Response, Defendant Minihan, employees of NSA, and employees of Sandia National Laboratory, were not obligated to respond to the Requests for Admissions as provided by Fed.R.Civ.P. 36.3 For Plaintiffs to now assert in their "Motion for Summary Judgment On Based On Evidence From Admissions" that because the individuals have not responded to the Requests for Admissions they are deemed admitted, flies in the face of their own prayer to this Court to stay a ruling on the Defendant's Motion to strike the Requests for Admissions until the Supreme Court takes action. 2 Plaintiffs' have REPEATEDLY asked judge Svet and Campos to disqualify themselves from any rulings on this case because Campos and Svet do NOT obey the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Replace judges Svet and Campos because these judges have demonstrated, IN WRITING, they do not follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiffs' pleas are directed a[t] replacement judge[s]. Not Svet and Campos. Therefore, Svet and Campos' failure to remove themselves does not stop the legal process. Mitchell cites NO law to support her claim that time constraints imposed under Fed.R.Civ.P. 36.3 are inapplicable as a result of Svet's and Campos' failure to remove themselves. 6 US Attorney Mitchell writes, Defendant requests that this Court either rule upon Defendant's Motion and Memorandum granting the request to strike the Requests for Admissions, or grant Plaintiffs' request to stay this action pending the issuance of the order sought by Plaintiffs in another forum. Should this Court deny Defendant's Motion and Memorandum, Defendant respectfully requests that the individuals to whom Requests for Admissions are appropriate in this action be given the thirty days to respond to said admissions as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. REPLACEMENT JUDGES of the Court should realize the outcome of the lawsuit has attained international interest as a result of the 1 bungled NSA spy sting on Iran 2 US government agencies NSA, NIST, and the FBI's attempt to control cryptography. Mitchell's DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT BASED ON EVIDENCE FROM ADMISSIONS was posted on Internet at jya.com, click cryptome 3 nsasuit8.htm USA/NSA Responds to Payne/Morales Motion January 16, 1998 Importance of this posting is summed-up in the Toronto Sun, Jan. 11, 1998 US, Iran Need Each Other by Eric Margolis Iran launched a surprise charm offensive last week, throwing Washington into serious confusion. In a lengthy interview on CNN, Iran's new president, Mohammad Khatami, skillfully analyzed the bitter relations between the two nations and cautiously extended an olive branch to Washington, calling for an end to their 19-year cold war. Khatami's diplomatic ju-jitsu flummoxed the Clinton administration, which was busy trying to rally international support against Tehran - and to overthrow Iran's elected government. Both capitals are split over the question of relations. In Washington, the military establishment and conservative Republicans have inflated Iran into a bogeyman to justify military budgets and keep U.S. forces in the Mideast. ... America incited Iraq to invade Iran in 1980. They did this to crush the Islamic revolution, then provided massive war aid to Saddam Hussein. Half a million Iranians died. The US got caught involved in genocide. Using high tech. This is one subject of this lawsuit. Albuquerque Journal Tuesday 1/13/98 carried the editorial. Khatami Move Is Profile in Courage Richard Reeves Syndicated Columnist LOS ANGELES - If an American leader had done what Iranian President Mohammed Khatami did last Wednesday, it would have been hailed as a profile in courage. ... Miscalculation! We armed and pampered Saddam Hussein in the hope that Iraq would destroy Iran. Now that's policy and behavior to think about. Here is something to think about: If Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy had pursued any kind of sensible policy toward Cuba and Fidel Castro - opposed to 4 the policy of trying to assassinate him - there never would have been a Cuban missile crisis. I think Iranians have financed and encouraged terrorism against the interests of the United States and Israel. I would not be surprised at all if something like proof emerges soon, perhaps anonymously, from the CIA and other government agencies, where many officials have built their careers on sanctioning and isolating Iran, to try to straighten the backbones of the president and people of the United States. If they succeed, America fails. What would be more effective in closing down Iranian terrorism? More hostility, sanctions and charges? Or beginning the process toward more normal relations with a country positioned and born to be great? ... Clearly genocide fits into [missing text] Now that's policy and behavior to think about. The wired world is watching what this Court, hopefully minus judges Svet and Campos, will do. What is there to be? A series of possibly unfortunate events? Or does this Court order release the lawfully requested documents to help settle this American tragedy? WHEREFORE. 7 Have replacement judges of this Court DENY Mitchell's Plaintiffs requested a stay. Absent a ruling from this Court denying their request, they cannot proceed to assert that the Requests for Admissions are deemed admitted. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' "Motion For Summary Judgment On Based On Evidence From Admissions" must be denied. for reason that Mitchell's request to subvert both the Discovery processes and its time limits have no basis in law. And appears to plead to judges who do not obey the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. [No 8] 9 IMMEDIATELY ORDER Defendant to release the requested documents in the interest of national safety so that this 5 matter can be settled. Aggrieved victims of US genocide are reading these pleadings. Respectfully submitted, [Signature] _________________________ William H.

In plain English, that translates to a smart card that can be used to allow people to pay all of their taxes, including income tax, national insurance, and local taxes, as well as apply for passports, state benefits, and other forms of government welfare. The idea behind the smart card, according to Peter Kilfoyle, the British public services minister, is that people will be able to use the card to identify themselves to the various government computers, all of which will be interlinked with each other. Kilfoyle claims that there are "huge potential savings" to be had from the introduction of the smart card, although he revealed that possessing a card will be voluntary. When questioned further on this, he admitted, however, that people could find it difficult to operate in the future without such a card. Initially, the citizen's smart card will rely on traditional PIN protection systems to allow a person to ID themselves alongside the card to the government computer systems. In the longer term, and certainly within the next five years, the plan is to allow an individual to use a fingerprint or similar biometric system for positive identification. ---- Fingerprinting everyone on the planet: those of you in CA and a handful of other states have already been fingerprinted "so you can drive". Police will eventually be able to stop anyone and demand to check their fingerprints via cheap small portable scanners. EFF/EPIC etc need to specifically target these biometric systems as being way over the top. Totally unnecessary. ---guy How did you CA cypherpunks feel about being fingerprinted?

http://www.odci.gov/cia/ciakids/aerial/index.html "Hi, kids! My name is Harry Recon, and this is my twin sister, Aerial. She's going to tell you about the History of the CIA in another section of the kid's page. We know some great books, too! Read all about it! My parents named me after President Harry Truman, who created the Central Intelligence Agency when he signed the National Security Act on Sept. 18, 1947. My family has always supported the Agency and its predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), roosting wherever it was camped and keeping an eye out in defense of our country, too. In 1961, when the Agency moved from downtown Washington, DC, to Langley, Virginia, we naturally followed. My dad says that we Recons have been in the intelligence operations business throughout US history: With Paul Revere on his midnight ride. With Virginia Hall as she arrived in France during World War II. Winging along side the U-2 as it took off to gather overhead pictures. Let Aerial tell you more about where we live and work and about our family history." http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/042398cia-kids.html "This is not an effort to recruit," a spokesman for the spy agency emphasizes. "This is an effort to inform in a fun way." I wonder what genius came up with this idea.

Data Fellows Strikes a Major Deal

Data Fellows Ltd. Media Release For immediate release 28 April 1998 DATA FELLOWS STRIKES A MAJOR DEAL A Prominent Scandinavian Telephone Operator Invests in Data Security Helsinki, Finland, April 28, 1998 -- Data Fellows, a leading provider of Internet security solutions, has made a deal with the largest private telephone company in Finland. Helsinki Telephone Corporation has bought F-Secure SSH to enhance the security of its Kolumbus Internet services over public networks. Kolumbus is one of the largest providers of commercial Internet services in Finland. "Data security is a highly important consideration for us," says Mr. Vesa Perttunen, Development Manager from Helsinki Telephone Corporation, Kolumbus Services. "We evaluated the data security products available on the market, and F-Secure SSH was the best we could find. We particularly appreciated the fact that the source code is available to us." Says Mr. Tatu Vehmas, Sales Manager, from Data Fellows: "F-Secure SSH leaves no room for security compromises. Furthermore, it is the only sensible tool for secure remote systems administration currently available on the market. We are pleased that Kolumbus Services has chosen our unique F-Secure SSH package." The F-Secure SSH Package F-Secure SSH products are based on the SSH security protocol. The SSH protocol is an application level protocol with strong public key authentication and 128-bit encryption. It guarantees the simultaneous authentication of both ends of the connection, the secrecy of the transmitted information, and the integrity of the transmitted data. F-Secure SSH Terminal provides the user with secure login connections over untrusted networks. It acts as a replacement for the telnet protocol. F-Secure SSH Terminal fully supports VT100 terminal emulation. F-Secure Tunnel creates a local proxy server for remote TCP/IP services. The service can be one of the Internet protocols, pop, smtp (used by e-mail software), http (used by Web browsers), etc., or almost any other TCP/IP based service. The local proxy server listens for a socket on the desired port and forwards the request and data over the secure channel. It then instructs the F-Secure SSH Server to make the connection to the specified service on the remote machine. In addition to secure terminal connections and TCP/IP connection forwarding, F-Secure SSH Server provides tools to replace existing rsh, rlogin, rdist, and telnet protocols. These tools enable administrators to carry out all remote systems administration tasks over secure connections. About Helsinki Telephone Corporation Helsinki Telephone Corporation is the largest local, private telephone company in Finland. It is one of the cornerstones of the Finnet Group, a consortium of 46 private local telephone companies. Helsinki Telephone Corporation has expertise in the entire range of telecom services, from the fixed network through data services to mobile telephony.
