TMC is Growing

The growth rate our company is experiencing is unlike anything I have ever seen in the last 35 years TMC has been in business. Advertising sales in Internet Telephony Magazine doubled last year. They could double again this year. Our most recent Internet Telephony Conference & Expo was an amazing hit... We are getting calls from speakers who are kicking themselves for not exhibiting. This show could double in the next 12 months as well. In case you weren't aware, we sold out the last 3 exhibit halls. Web traffic is at yet another all time high. TMCnet is now in the top 6,660 sites in the world!

This leads me to the point and that is growth. We need more people. We have hired but are still overwhelmed in many departments. If you know anyone who is talented and a hard-worker and thrives in a team-environment of a company that runs with the speed of a start-up but has the stability of a company three and a half decades old, please have them send me a resume to rtehrani(replace with at sign)tmcnet.com.

The person must be able to commute to or want to relocate to Norwalk, CT.

We are looking for:

• Web Designers
• Editors
• Print Advertising Salespeople
• Marketers
• Exhibit Salespeople
• Web Ad Salespeople

The ruling below is bad news for journalists and bloggers everywhere or just common sense? Is this the first step towards journalists losing their freedom to do their jobs effectively? An even worse scenario is one in which more people will be afraid to share important information with journalists for fear of legal action. The following came from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Court Crushes Online Journalists' Rights

EFF Asking California Appellate Court to Intervene
Santa Clara - Today Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James Kleinberg ruled that an online journalist's Internet service provider (ISP) can be required to reveal the identities of the reporter's confidential sources to attorneys from Apple Computer, Inc. The court rejected a request for an order to protect the confidentiality of these sources and other unpublished materials.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with co-counsel Thomas Moore III and Richard Wiebe, is representing the journalist, and will be asking the California Appellate Court to intervene.
"We're disappointed that the trial court ignored the Supreme Court's requirement that seeking a journalist's confidential sources be a 'last resort' in civil discovery," said EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl. "Instead, the court asserts a wholesale exception to the journalist's privilege when the information is alleged to be a trade secret."

"This is a broad-brush ruling that threatens journalists of all stripes," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn.

This landmark case was the first in which a court heard arguments that online reporters' confidential sources and unpublished materials are protected by both the reporter's shield in the California constitution and the reporter's privilege under the federal First Amendment. But the court did not restrict its ruling to online journalists, instead deciding that all journalists could be required to reveal confidential sources when a claim of trade secret is raised.

Apple is suing several unnamed individuals, called "Does," who allegedly leaked information about an upcoming product code-named "Asteroid." Apple has subpoenaed Nfox, the ISP for PowerPage.com publisher Jason O'Grady, demanding that the ISP turn over the communications and unpublished materials O'Grady obtained while he was gathering information for his articles about "Asteroid." Apple has also been granted permission to issue subpoenas directly to EFF clients PowerPage and AppleInsider for similar information, but these have not yet been issued and were not ruled on today.
