Casa Judeteana de Pensii si alte Drepturi de Asigurari Sociale
(CJPAS)

oficial al
institutiei. Directorul CJPAS, Geogeta Modiga, a declarat pentru

atat pentru
cei din tara, cat si pentru cei din strainatate.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
04.>>>>White House Web Scrubbing
.(washingtonpost.com: 18/12/2003)
It's not quite Soviet-style airbrushing, but the Bush administration
has
been using cyberspace to make some of its own cosmetic touch-ups
to history.
White House officials were steamed when Andrew S. Natsios, the
administrator
of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said earlier
this year
that U.S. taxpayers would not have to pay more than $1.7 billion
to
reconstruct Iraq -- which turned out to be a gross understatement
of the
tens of billions of dollars the government now expects to spend.
Recently,
however, the government has purged the offending comments by
Natsios from
the agency's Web site. The transcript, and links to it, have
vanished.

DIGITAL DIVIDE
05.>>>>The 'free' PC makes a comeback
.(CNN.com: 17/12/2003)
A brand-new computer for free may sound too good to be true,
but a British
company is offering it to every UK household and even promising
to replace
it with a new machine after three years. The catch? London-based
Metronomy
says in return for a free IBM personal computer worth 800 pounds
($1,400
U.S.), customers will have to bear with one minute of on-screen
advertising
for every 20 minutes of computer use. Each household will also
have to use
the computer for at least 30 hours a month -- about an hour
a day.

06.>>>>Hewitt wants internet access for all by 2008
.(Guardian Unlimited: 16/12/2003)
The government yesterday pledged itself to one of the most stretching
technology targets in Europe, saying that every home in Britain
will have
access to online services within the next five years. The move,
by trade and
industry secretary Patricia Hewitt, came as new super-regulator
Ofcom
prepared its report on the state of the broadband market, for
publication
today. It is expected to call for changes to the way that high-speed
internet access is provided in the UK to make broadband cheaper.

ACCESS
07.>>>>Fiber to the People
.(Wired Magazine: December 2003)
Burlington, Vermont, is building a network. Like many municipalities
across
North America, it has decided to construct an advanced fiber
network on its
own. The AFN is being deployed first to support city services.
Then, as part
of the four-phase project, this municipality of just 40,000
will extend
blazingly fast Internet service to businesses and residences.

E-GOVERNMENT
08.>>>>E-government fails to catch on
.(Guardian Unlimited: 15/12/2003)
Virtually all Britons know where they can get online - but three-quarters
of
them have never even visited a government website, a report
out today
reveals. The e-envoy, Andrew Pindar, published his fourth and
final UK
Online report as the government announced it would appoint a
new head of
e-government early next year.
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/egovernment/story/0,12767,1107516,00.html
09.>>>>E-Gov starts next phase
.(FCW.com: 18/12/2003)
The next phase of e-government will involve looking at the federal
enterprise architecture to identify projects that will yield
a "common
government solution," said Karen Evans, the Office of Management
and Budget
information technology chief. In the coming year, OMB officials
will focus
on finding projects that fall into four lines of business that
weren't
originally identified as a part of the 24 e-government initiatives:
public
health information systems, criminal investigation, human resources
systems
and financial management applications.

POLICY
10.>>>>New beginners' handbook aims to get more
people involved in ICT
policy
.(APCNews: 18/12/2003)
Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have become
essential
tools for development and the degree of access to ICT, as well
as
affordability of access, is largely determined by policy decisions
taken at
the national, regional and international levels. APC's new book
"ICT Policy:
A Beginner's Handbook" lays out the issues and dispenses with
the jargon to
encourage more people to get involved in ICT policy processes.

11.>>>>INTERNET-2 project launched in Belarus
.(E-Belarus: 12/12/2003)
INTERNET -2 (Fostering ICT usage in Belarus) supported by UNDP
is a joint
initiative of Belarusian governmental institutions (Ministry
of Education is
among them) and of NGOs. A three year project is aimed at ICT
infrastructure
development for civil society organizations, education and libraries.
ICT
will contribute to sustainable development of social partnership
and human
capital.
