More than half the world's population now pay to use a mobile phone and nearly a quarter use the internet, as developing countries rapidly adopt new communications technologies. By the end of last year there were an estimated 4.1bn mobile subscriptions, up from 1bn in 2002, according to a report published today by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an agency of the UN. That represents six-in-ten of the world's population, with developing countries accounting for about two-thirds of the mobile phones in use, compared with less than half of subscriptions in 2002. Over the same period, fixed-line subscriptions rose more modestly, from 1bn to 1.27bn, indicating that many people in the developing world are bypassing the older technology altogether. "There has been a clear shift to mobile cellular telephony," the ITU said.

Security
Research found that 35 per cent of companies do not monitor employees' use of the internet, so would have no idea whether or not they were using social media sites and would not be able to trace the source of any leak on those sites. "It is clear that organisations don't equate employee use of social media sites with potential security breaches, which is a worrying sign," said Clearswift chief executive Jon Lee. "Research has shown that employees, particularly younger employees, are using these Web 2.0 technologies heavily at work, and the risk for potential loss of confidential information via these sites is very real. Organisations need to reassess their security policies and precautions in light of the growing popularity and business use of Web 2.0 technologies," he said. Earlier research by the company unveiled the scale of the use of collaborative websites by workers. A quarter of young office workers in the UK spent more than three hours a week on sites such as YouTube, MySpace or Bebo. It found that 42 per cent of those people discussed work on those sites.

Your security is as good as your weakest link,” says Vimal Solanki, a McAfee executive. And unfortunately, a company’s weakest leak is all too often its own employees. He points out that black hat malware writers get a lot of headlines. Companies work constantly to secure the perimeter, knowing that attempts to compromise the firewall are ceaseless. But the enemy is within, too. Employees – however innocently – often create the greatest security problems. Laptops are lost. Emails with sensitive data are accidentally sent. Confidential records walk out the door stored on that fortress-like security device, the iPod. The dangers of unintentional data loss have been understated, Solanki tells eSecurityPlanet. In fact, as much as half of all security issues may be the result of employees’ unintended data loss, he says.

A study by research firm Nielsen Online shed light on the booming mobile internet market in Britain which grew eight times faster than wired internet across the country, although in absolute numbers, the latter still accounts for the overwhelming number of connections. In the last quarter alone, mobile internet was up by 25 percent with the younger generation of surfers more likely to use the internet on the move than stuck to their desktops. A quarter of all mobile internet users are aged between 15 and 24 while only one in six of desktop internet users. In comparison, fixed internet users only rose from 34.3 million to 35.3 million. Should UK mobile internet continue to grow at the current rate, the sector should overtake fixed internet by end of 2010, which is feasible since there are more mobile phones in Britain than computers. According to Nielsen Online, more than 7.5 million UK users access the web regularly through their mobile phones. The research did not cover mobile broadband internet using dongles (or tethered mobile phones) and laptops.

IBM announced yesterday that its Lotus Software division continued its momentum with an impressive 21 percent growth in the second quarter. This marks the 15th straight quarter where Lotus Software revenues have grown. IBM attributed the growth to the success of Lotus Notes 8, Lotus Symphony, and key wins in the U.S. and emerging markets. Emerging markets played an especially strong role with 18 percent of IBM's overall geographic revenue in the second quarter. This was fueled by huge growth in countries such as India, Brazil, Russia and China. Some strategic wins included Russian Railways in Russia, Affin Bank and Trakando in Singapore, DL Cosco Shipyard in China and Aviva in India. Lotus also snagged its largest Asian customer ever with a 300,000 seat sale of Lotus Notes. This major bank invested in Lotus Notes as well as the free office suite of Lotus Symphony.
