miowpurr writes to tell us that a draft of the acta (anti-counterfeiting trade agreet) has been posted on wikileaks. among others, boing boing's cory doctorow has weighed in on the possible ramifications of this treaty. "among other things, acta will outlaw p2p (even when used to share works that are legally available, like my books), and crack down on things like region-free dvd players. all of this is taking place out of the public eye, presumably with the intention of presenting it as a fait accompli just as the ink is drying on the treaty."

on the same day, 3g iphone was announced, a flickr page leaked pos of three new nseries phones from nokia. the 5800 xpressmedia, also known as “tube” we’ve already heard about. with this leakage, the first s60 touch phone is as good as confirmed. vodafone, according to the spy ss will be distributing the phone, at least in europe. at the back of the 5800 is a 3.2 mp carl zeiss lens.

two other phones, the n79 and the n85 make their first appearance. the n85 looks like a smaller n96. specs include a 5 mp camera and gps with geotagging. don;t expect nokia to pull the punches now in the nseries after the 3g iphone announcet.

the n79 reminds me of the n81 but much softened up with flat keys and a softer overall appearance. we know next to nothing about this phone. the question is, with a $199 3g iphone out in the market, how cheap is nokia going to price its new high-end phones?

snydeq writes "responding to legal pressure over its throttling of p2p traffic and other duous practices, comcast says it will now punish the most abusive users rather than particular applications. yet its pilot tests in pennsylvania and a, which would 'delay traffic for the heaviest users of internet data without targeting specific software applications,' raise greater concerns over net neutrality, ones that belie a potential preemptive strike against the cable company's chief future compeion: streaming video. 'despite the industry's constant invocation of the p2p bogeyman, at present, the largest bandwidth hog is actually streaming video,' writes mehan jayasuriya at public knowledge. 'clearly, the emergence of online video is something that cable video providers find very threatening and by capping off bandwidth usage, they're effectively killing two rds with one stone; discouraging users from using their internet connections for video while increasing the efficiency of the network. is this anti-compeive? it sure seems like it.'"

second quarter data is out on venture deals from the national venture capital ociation and pricewaterhousecoopers. despite the ipo market drying up completely, the what-me-worry crowd on sand hill road keep pumping money into venture deals at a steady pace. venture capitalists invested $7.4 llion last quarter in 990 deals, compared to $7.5 llion in 997 deals during the first quarter (a number that looks like it was revised upwards from the $7.1 llion the same group originally reported last april). the average deal size last quarter was $7.5 million. (click on the charts for gger images).

the amount of money going into first-time financings is declining, with only 22 percent of vc money going to early stage deals. late-stage and expansion deals are attracting more capital, a trend we saw last quarter as well. these deals are generally deemed more safe than first-time deals since these companies are further along and some of the early risks have been taken off the table.

software is still the ggest sector attracting vc funds ($1.3 llion), followed by otech ($1.1 llion), but both those sectors are seeing a slowdown in investts (down 19 percent and 14 percent year-over-year, respectively). the only sectors that saw increases was energy (up 102 percent year-over-year to $1.2 llion) and media (up 23 percent to $586 million).

there were a couple of bright spots in the report. drilling down into internet-specific and clean tech deals, vc optimism seems to be holding for now. they invested $1.5 llion in internet deals, up 14 percent from last quarter. clean tech financings were pretty much flat at $884 million.

if the ipo and m&a drought continue, it should have a deeper impact on current funding levels. but there is usually a lag period between the former going down and vcs waking up to the fact that the environt has changed (the two have been linked historically, despite current investts having a five-to-seven year horizon).
