Mexico: where journalists have protested against rising violence against reporters Copyright: Knight Foundation on Flickr. Some rights reserved The executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called for a “global coalition” between media, governments, business sectors and “civil society organisations” against censorship. In the press freedom organisation's annual Attacks on the Press report, which documents the “media conditions” across more than 100 countries, Simon refers to ”the next information revolution”, where those keen to restrict the press have learnt “that maintaining a viable censorship regime is even more urgent in the information age.” He adds: “The reality is that there are few effective legal mechanisms to fight censorship on an international level.” In response he called for “the many constituencies that have a stake in ensuring the free flow of information” to work together to form a “global coalition against censorship”.

SMARTRAC Joins the OSPT Alliance as Full Member RFID Technology Leader Will Work to Advance Open, Vendor-Neutral Fare Collection Systems MUNICH, Germany and Amsterdam, Netherlands, February 21, 2012 – The Open Standard for Public Transport (OSPT(TM)) Alliance today announced that SMARTRAC, a leading developer, manufacturer, and supplier of RFID transponders, has joined the OSPT Alliance. As a full member of the Alliance, SMARTRAC will participate in the Alliance´s activities around the development of next-generation transit fare collection systems based on the CIPURSE(TM) open security standard. ´We recognize the OSPT´s mission and the work of its members to establish CIPURSE as the first, open global standard for next-generation transit fare collection, ´ said Wolfgang Schneider, Member of the Management Board at SMARTRAC. ´CIPURSE represents a critical opportunity for the transport ecosystem to move to next-generation fare collection systems, and we look forward to working with industry partners in OSPT to achieve these goals.´ The CIPURSE open security standard addresses the need by transit authorities for future-proof fare collection systems with more advanced security than currently in use. Because it is an open standard, CIPURSE promotes vendor neutrality, cross-vendor system interoperability, lower technology adoption risks, higher quality and improved market responsiveness, all of which result in lower operating costs and greater flexibility for transport system operators. CIPURSE also offers a global basis for a faster transition of transit fare systems to the use of emerging NFC mobile phones and other devices, and support for the adoption of NFC transit applications for a truly future-proof solution
