Wifi billing Software
by K.Mutuma 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hello Skunks, I would like to know if there is a solution out there for billing users in a WiFi / hotspot connection that is not pegged on the duration you stay online but by the packets of data downloaded and uploaded. I am thinking of having a small wireless router at home and charging my neighbors monthly according to the data volume they use. like the way bundles work. Further, has anyone tried it in this list? Any free ware software you would recommend? Thanks, Mutuma

They will work locally while networking globally through the auspices of the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto. > > Cyber Stewards will define their own scope of work and activities based on their local context and pressing concerns. The expectation will be that Cyber Stewards will map, analyze, and ultimately impact the cyber security priorities of their own countries and regions on the basis of shared knowledge and practices. > > ï¿½We are excited about this opportunity, and the prospects that the Cyber Stewards network can accomplish,ï¿½ says Ron Deibert , Director of the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab. ï¿½Working together, we envision the Cyber Stewards will help contribute to a growing global movement of citizens, scholars and practitioners - a community of practice - whose aim is to protect cyberspace as a secure but open commons of information in which human rights are respected.ï¿½ > > Detailed Overview > > As cyberspace expands and deepens in the global South, there are growing concerns around how cyberspace will be governed and > constituted. The security of cyberspace is now an urgent concern. A cyber arms race among governments and non-state actors has begun in earnest. Facing a growing number of threats, from cyber crime to espionage and warfare, governments are developing ambitious cyber security strategies, some of which include far-reaching and potentially ominous censorship, surveillance, and information operation components. > > Unless proper checks and balances are instituted locally, there will continue to be strong pressures to build ï¿½surveillance-by designï¿½ into newly built infrastructure -- particularly the newly emerging mobile and social media ecosystems. These troubling trends of information control and securitization portend the gradual disintegration of an open and secure commons of information on a global scale. > > It is essential that the process of cyber securitization taking place in the South includes local voices who can articulate a vision of > cyber security in which rights and openness are protected on the basis of shared research and empirical knowledge. > > The aim of the Cyber Stewards project is to help support and develop those local voices. > > Why ï¿½Stewardï¿½? Stewardship is typically defined as an ethic of responsible behaviour in a situation of shared resources, typically > with respect to the natural environment and the commons, such as the oceans and outer space. Although cyberspace is more of a mixed pooled resource that cuts across public and private sector than a commons per se, the concept of stewardship still carries considerable merit: it implies behaviour that goes beyond self-interest to accomplish something in the service of a wider public good. It emphasizes the need for balance and the appreciation of the complexity of the system. It carries with it a connotation of custodianship and citizen-based monitoring, all of which mesh with the aims of the network we are setting out to build. > > Why should South-based scholars and practitioners link up with a North-based institution, like the University of Toronto? Moving > forward, it is imperative that stewards of cyberspace include representation from all stakeholders in the global communications > environment, and that bridges are built between communities across North, South, East and West. Although the challenges of each locality are unique, together we live in a shared communications space that is becoming increasingly dense and interconnected. We have a shared responsibility to sustain that space in a manner that supports everyoneï¿½s rights, while keeping it secure. Networking South-based Cyber Stewards with the University of Torontoï¿½s Canada Centre and Citizen Labï¿½s already existing network of collaborative partnerships will help accomplish that goal and hopefully build a broad community of global Cyber Stewards that empowers us all collectively. > > Who will make up the Cyber Stewards program and how will it operate? There will be a diversity in research topics and methods, as well as regional and disciplinary backgrounds, in the constitution of Cyber Stewards. We anticipate that the group will form a network of peers, in which the Cyber Stewards regularly interact with each other, engage in knowledge sharing and joint research and development, and mutual mentorship. Cyber Stewards will interact virtually as well as through occasional joint workshops and major conferences, facilitated by the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab. > > Interested parties from any of the following regions should send a CV and a five page outline that details project ideas to > cyberstewards(a)citizenlab.org (Central America, Caribbean, South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, and Asia). > > About the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies The Canada Centre for Global Security Studies at the Munk School of > Global Affairs is a centre of interdisciplinary research, policy development, and other activities in emerging security issues that are > critical to Canada's future.
