News of the Week in Web Services:
Lucent Technologies, the giant maker of phone equipment, won a contract
valued at about $200 million to expand Sprint's Internet access
capacity and deliver Internet services.

WorldCom said Monday it filed for regulatory permission to
offer fixed wireless services in more than 60 markets in
the United States as part of its push to provide high-speed
Internet and voice communications services.
http://1.digital.cnet.com/cgi-bin1/flo?y=eui0BxpGy0t0D3rF
DSLnetworks, a provider of high-speed digital subscriber
line (DSL) Internet connections, has introduced free
network-based firewall security software for all customers.
The system, based upon equipment from Nortel Networks and
called NetSentry, is intended to secure users' PCs from
"spoofing" attacks, in which hackers can gain access to
files or commandeer the PC for other uses due to its
always-on connection. NetSentry will be available
immediately, except in Southern California where it will
debut later this year.

Web Services Tip of the Week:
Build a better Web site with these 4 downloads
Building a Web site can be a daunting task. You want to get
it up and running with all the bells and whistles, but you
have to be a code monkey for all that, plus the tools are
expensive--right? Wrong.
