Concorda con il sindacoAntonella Galdi, responsabile Innovazione di Anciche afferma: “L’innovazione applicata alla dimensione urbana rappresenta uno dei principali terreni sui quali si gioca la partita del possibile rilancio del nostro Paese. Sia le più recenti linee di indirizzo dell’Unione Europea sia numerose analisi internazionali certificano, infatti, come sia nel binomio città-innovazione tecnologica che è necessario investire prioritariamente per creare sviluppo nei sistemi territoriali di area vasta e nazionali. Nel contesto economico che l’Italia sta attraversando attualmente, questa azione di sviluppo non può che passare da nuove e più virtuose modalità di collaborazione fra le istituzioni locali e le imprese. Si tratta di operare in termini di coprogettazione e identificazione di obiettivi comuni, affinché le (poche) risorse disponibili per gli investimenti, sia pubbliche che private, siano convogliate su interventi condivisi che rispondano realmente ai bisogni dei singoli territori.”

Al via bandi per oltre 900 milioni di euro (di cui 237 privati) per contribuire ad azzerare il digital divide (almeno 2 mbps a tutti i cittadini) e accelerare lo sviluppo della banda ultralarga (da 30 mbps a 100 mbps) per circa il 40 per cento dei cittadini della Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise e Sicilia. A questo risultato - informa un comunicato del Mise - ha concorso in modo rilevante la rimodulazione dei programmi cofinanziati che, attraverso il Piano d'Azione per la Coesione d'intesa con le Regioni interessate, ha fatto confluire nel progetto piu' di 347 milioni di euro. La procedura di evidenza pubblica, che partira' entro inizio marzo, attua concretamente due punti centrali (azzeramento digital divide e banda ultralarga) dell'agenda digitale europea recepita dal Governo. I bandi porteranno infatti la banda larga a 2,8 milioni di cittadini residenti in 3600 localita' in tutta Italia e la banda ultralarga a 4 milioni di cittadini residenti in 180 comuni del Sud Italia. Tale iniziativa puo' rappresentare una forte spinta per l'intera filiera delle telecomunicazioni, per il settore dell'impiantistica civile e dell'elettronica, generando circa 5000 nuovi posti di lavoro. L'investimento di 900 milioni di euro potra' generare un incremento del PIL pari a circa 1,3 miliardi di euro, come dimostrato anche da studi OCSE utilizzati dalla Commissione Europea che fissano a '1,45' il moltiplicatore congiunto domanda/offerta del settore della comunicazione sull'intera economia italiana.

DISCORSO DELL'UNIONE: OBAMA è il PRESIDENTE che cita più volte la TECNOLOGIA di qualsiasi altro Presidente Sesso scandalo debito Obama: Technology Will Save the Country Did Obama’s State of the Union speech include more mentions of technology than any other president’s? The State of the Union address is a set piece. Appeal to the middle class. Rattle sabers at enemies abroad. Toward the end, highlight a few ordinary, courageous Americans by name. Last night, Barack Obama waded into new territory with a plan for the nation that seemed to rely particularly heavily on gee-whiz technology. In fact, Obama made so many references to 3-D printing, genome mapping, Apple, and clean energy that some wags on Twitter suggested he might be trying out for a writing position at a technology magazine. I think this raises important questions. First, are presidential addresses featuring more technology? Second, is more of the technology being discussed the sci-fi, unproven kind? It matters because the State of the Union is usually taken as a blueprint of a president’s plans for the coming year. We didn’t have time to analyze every presidential State of the Union address. But we did look at three speeches in which technology was key: Obama’s last night, Ronald Reagan’s in 1986 (at the culmination of the Cold War), and Harry S. Truman’s in 1953. The data we have suggest that technology—particularly the promise of futuristic, as-yet-nonexistent technologies—is taking on a bigger role. If you feel like it, you can do this analysis for yourself. Here’s what I did. First I counted the number of specific technologies mentioned by name. I excluded things like “industry” and “trucks” as too generic and also excluded those merely hinted at (as when Obama made an indirect reference to drone warfare). You’ll find my tallies below. Then, I decided if the technologies were real or futuristic. In Obama’s case, I counted “high-speed rail” as real, but “self-healing power grids” as futuristic. There were some tough calls: even though 3-D printing is real, I categorized it as fantasy because of the way Obama framed it, promising it could “revolutionize the way we make almost everything.” Truman’s 1953 speech is interesting because it includes a detailed discussion of the atomic era. The speech has some poetry, as when he describes the bomb as “that great white flash of light, man-made at Alamogordo.” But it largely sticks to the facts. Atomic bombs and atomic energy, he said, have opened “the doorway to the atomic age” and divided the world between East and West. (I counted atomic energy as real, not futuristic, even though this was early on the path to commercial power.) Reagan may have been the first to insert Hollywood-style science fiction in a State of the Union speech. Certainly he takes the prize for pure cinematic imagery, as when he promised “a new Orient Express that could … take off from Dulles Airport, accelerate up to 25 times the speed of sound, attaining low Earth orbit or flying to Tokyo within two hours.” Reagan’s speech was all about projecting American power into outer space and cowing the Soviet Union. In fact, the Tokyo-Washington rocket, Reagan said, was “the same technology” that would let the U.S. create a “security shield” to block nuclear weapons and thereby “solve the greatest problem of the 20th century.” Even though the space shield was pure balderdash and brinksmanship, some of Reagan’s predictions, which I tallied as futuristic because they were at the time, actually did come true, including a “space station” and “a space telescope that can see to the edge of the universe and possibly back to the moment of creation.” Obama’s speech was less militaristic but stands out for the sheer number of technologies mentioned. And I didn’t even count “mapping the human brain” or “map the human genome,” since no specific technology was mentioned. Maybe it’s because times have changed and we’re surrounded by more technology. Or maybe this president is counting more than his predecessors on technology to fix what are otherwise the kinds of problems politicians are supposed to solve. Barack Obama, 2013: Macs, 3-D printing, drugs to regenerate damaged organs, new material to make batteries 10 times more powerful, wind energy, solar energy, technology that helps natural gas burn even cleaner, high-speed rail, high-speed Internet, high-tech schools, self-healing power grids, modern pipelines to withstand a storm, nuclear weapon/nuclear materials, weapons of war and massive ammunition magazines Ronald Reagan, 1986: Space shuttle, a space telescope that can see to the edge of the universe, space station, a new Orient Express that could … fly to Tokyo within two hours, [nuclear] security shield, nuclear weapons Harry Truman, 1953: atomic bomb, atomic energy

EU Cybersecurity plan to protect open internet and online freedom and opportunity The European Commission, together with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has published a cybersecurity strategy alongside a Commission proposed directive on network and information security (NIS). The cybersecurity strategy – "An Open, Safe and Secure Cyberspace" - represents the EU's comprehensive vision on how best to prevent and respond to cyber disruptions and attacks. This is to further European values of freedom and democracy and ensure the digital economy can safely grow. Specific actions are aimed at enhancing cyber resilience of information systems, reducing cybercrime and strengthening EU international cyber-security policy and cyber defence. The strategy articulates the EU's vision of cyber-security in terms of five priorities: Achieving cyber resilience Drastically reducing cybercrime Developing cyber defence policy and capabilities related to the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) Developing the industrial and technological resources for cyber-security Establishing a coherent international cyberspace policy for the European Union and promoting core EU values The EU international cyberspace policy promotes the respect of EU core values, defines norms for responsible behaviour, advocates the application of existing international laws in cyberspace, while assisting countries outside the EU with cyber-security capacity-building, and promoting international cooperation in cyber issues. The EU has made key advances in better protecting citizens from online crimes, including establishing a European Cybercrime Centre (IP/13/13), proposing legislation on attacks against information systems (IP/10/1239) and the launch of a Global Alliance to fight child sexual abuse online (IP/12/1308). The Strategy also aims at developing and funding a network of national Cybercrime Centers of Excellence to facilitate training and capacity building. The proposed NIS Directive is a key component of the overall strategy and would require all Member States, key internet enablers and critical infrastructure operators such as e-commerce platforms and social networks and operators in energy, transport, banking and healthcare services to ensure a secure and trustworthy digital environment throughout the EU. The proposed Directive lays down measures including: (a) Member State must adopt a NIS strategy and designate a national NIS competent authority with adequate financial and human resources to prevent, handle and respond to NIS risks and incidents; (b) Creating a cooperation mechanism among Member States and the Commission to share early warnings on risks and incidents through a secure infrastructure, cooperate and organise regular peer reviews; (c) Operators of critical infrastructures in some sectors (financial services, transport, energy, health), enablers of information society services (notably: app stores e-commerce platforms, Internet payment, cloud computing, search engines, social networks) and public administrations must adopt risk management practices and report major security incidents on their core services. Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda said: "The more people rely on the internet the more people rely on it to be secure. A secure internet protects our freedoms and rights and our ability to do business. It's time to take coordinated action - the cost of not acting is much higher than the cost of acting." Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission said: "For cyberspace to remain open and free, the same norms, principles and values that the EU upholds offline, should also apply online. Fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law need to be protected in cyberspace. The EU works with its international partners as well as civil society and the private sector to promote these rights globally." Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs said: "The Strategy highlights our concrete actions to drastically reduce cybercrime. Many EU countries are lacking the necessary tools to track down and fight online organised crime. All Member States should set up effective national cybercrime units that can benefit from the expertise and the support of the European Cybercrime Centre EC3." Background Cyber-security incidents are increasing in frequency and magnitude, becoming more complex and know no borders. These incidents can cause major damage to safety and the economy. Efforts to prevent, cooperate and be more transparent about cyber incidents must improve. Previous efforts by the European Commission and individual Member States have been too fragmented to deal with this growing challenge. Facts about cybersecurity today There are an estimated 150,000 computer viruses in circulation every day and 148,000 computers compromised daily. According to the World Economic Forum, there is an estimated 10% likelihood of a major critical information infrastructure breakdown in the coming decade, which could cause damages of $250 billion. Cybercrime causes a good share of cyber-security incidents, Symantec estimates that cybercrime victims worldwide lose around €290 billion each year, while a McAfee study put cybercrime profits at €750 billion a year. The 2012 Eurobarometer poll on cyber security found that 38 % of EU internet users have changed their behaviour because of these cyber-security concerns: 18 % are less likely to buy goods online and 15 % are less likely to use online banking. It also shows that 74% of the respondents agreed that the risk of becoming a victim has increased, 12% have already experienced online fraud and 89% avoid disclosing personal information. According to the public consultation on NIS, 56.8% of respondents had experienced over the past year NIS incidents with a serious impact on their activities. Meanwhile, Eurostat figures show that, by January 2012, only 26% of enterprises in the EU had a formally defined ICT security policy.
