* Apparently the HD DVD hack we mentioned in yesterday's reboot is real enough that the companies behind the AACS encryption system are [looking][1] into it. Muslix64, the hacker who claims to have cracked AACS, has said he/she will post more code on January 2.

* In the wake of the earthquake which disrupted internet service in Asia, Asian telecom companies are [moving to install more underseas cables][2] to ensure that this week's internet outage does not happen again.

* AT&T has agreed to concessions which will force the company to live up to net neutrality rules if its merger with BellSouth is approved, but not everyone thinks the concessions are enough. TechDirt [reports][4] that midway through the concession doc is this sentence: "This commitment also does not apply to AT&T/BellSouth's Internet Protocol television (IPTV) service." This phrase could mean that while any existing network is governed by the net neutrality in the concessions, future networks are not which paves the way for AT&T to charge companies for preferential bandwidth treatment.

* Laughing Squid, one of the recipients of the [laptops from Microsoft][7], is [auctioning][6] off the machine on eBay. Proceeds will benefit the [EFF][5]
