The report, titled "digital.life," said the ideal digital identity scheme should be able to stimulate on-line interactions while protecting data and alleviating privacy concerns. It noted that lawyers, corporate strategist, economists and governments have been in a hard bid to thwart illicit on-line activities and identity theft. The report stressed the concern over the lack of limits on the collections of identity parameters on-line and over the unclear guidelines for the retention of data. It urged for a digital identity management which is based on the use of partial identities depending on context and user choice. The report was drafted by a team of analysts from ITU's Strategy and Policy Unit, covering chapters on "going digital," lifestyle, business, identity and living in the digital world. It was launched on the sidelines of the ongoing ITU Telecom World 2006 show, which was slated from Dec. 4 to 8, teaming some 600 exhibitors and thousands of experts and professionals in the telecommunication sector. Number of 3G Cellphone Users Hits 100m Mark The number of 3G (the third generation) mobilephone subscribers reached 100 million in the first half of 2006, according to the Internet Report. The report noted that the hitting of 100-million mark was a significant milestone and illustrated that the cellphone technology is approaching maturity. The evolution from the second to third generation mobile networks will turn out to be a jump like from analogue to digital, said the report. The higher speed of the 3G technologies added convenience, capacity and functionality for users, it said, adding that the 3G networks also use the spectrum more efficiently and support a number of global standards to facilitate roaming.
