The Week in Internet News: Rural Maine Looks to Community Broadband
Broadband for themselves: Rural Maine residents are looking into ways to create their own community broadband networks because of a lack of service in some areas, the Press Herald reports. About 15 percent of the state’s residents don’t have access to 25 Mbps broadband service. A project in the St. Croix Valley would create Maine’s first publicly-owned broadband network.
Home patches: Amazon has issued 13 security patches, with some addressing vulnerabilities in its Internet of Things home devices, Engadget reports. If left unpatched, the security holes would let intruders crash devices and remotely run code, giving them full control.
Confusion and delay: Meanwhile, a lot of companies that are potential IoT users are delaying their deployments because of security concerns, reports Betanews. About half of companies labeled as early adopters have delayed an IoT purchase because of security issues, according to a survey from F-Secure.
The cost of a breach: Yahoo has agreed to pay a $50 million settlement to the 200 million people affected the company’s huge 2013 data breach, Fortune says. The company will also pay a tidy $35 million in lawyers’ fees. The settlement applies only to a fraction of the people affected by the email breach.

Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP)
Through the Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP), supported by the Internet Society, the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) recognizes the best new ideas in networking and brings them to the IETF, especially in cases where the ideas are relevant for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. Out of 55 submissions in 2018, six submissions will be awarded prizes. Two winners will present their Continue reading
Network documentation 101 ! How? When? Why?
Documentation is an extremely important rule when building a network. You will know what has been done in your network. With a good network documentation, the network support and maintenance procedures could handle the incidents in a more professional and organized way. Without a good network documentation, there is no map, topology or …

Automation is becoming essential in most organizations. The key to adoption is a positive user experience. This requires identifying and meeting the differing needs of the individuals involved.
Observability Is the New Black
In early October I had a chat with Dinesh Dutt discussing the outline of the webinar he’ll do in November. A few days later Fastly published a blog post on almost exactly the same topic. Coincidence? Probably… but it does seem like observability is the next emerging buzzword, and Dinesh will try to put it into perspective answering these questions:

I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop (210 DPI) since four years and a Nokia 8 phone (550 DPI) since a year. I enjoy their HiDPI screens: text is crisp and easy to read. To get a similar experience for my workstation, I bought a pair of Dell P2415Q monitors:
Monitors
The Dell P2415Q is a 24” display featuring an IPS panel with a 3840×2160 resolution (185 DPI) and a complete coverage of the sRGB color space. It was released in 2015 and its price is now below $400. It received positive reviews.
One of my units arrived with a dead pixel. I thought it was a problem from the past but Dell policy on dead pixels says:
During LCD manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more sub-pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. A display with a 1 to 5 fixed sub-pixel is considered normal and within industry standards.
Another issue is the presence of faint horizontal grey lines, (barely) visible on white background. The issue seems to not be uncommon but Dell is dismissive about it. If I sit correctly, the Continue reading
