PETs have appeared on the public sector horizon, as a handful of key organisations are taking steps to encourage the assessment and deployment of privacy enhancing technologies. There has been talk about them for some time as a future tool for providing secure access to sensitive data, but there is limited understanding of the detail and few examples of them being used in public services anywhere.

Theregister
Lobby group CISPE - a collective representing Cloud Infrastructure Providers in Europe - has called for regulators to investigate VMware by Broadcom's software licensing arrangements, which it claims will bankrupt some of its members and hurt end-users. The group on Tuesday objected to what it described as Broadcom "unilaterally cancelling license terms for essential virtualization software." "Cloud customers, including public sector bodies, large European businesses, SMEs and start-ups are all threatened by egregious and unwarranted new contract terms and price increases," the group thundered, before calling for "at minimum, an immediate pause to contract terminations and the ability of customers to exit the multi-year contract imposed by Broadcom as soon as viable alternatives become available." That's a reference to Broadcom sweeping away VMware's partner program and replacing it with its own, and a requirement for those who offer VMware products as-a-service to have at least 3,500 cores in production to qualify for a license.

South-west Wales was reeling in the wake of social unrest in November 1843. There had been a series of protests over several years by farmers furious at taxation levels, mainly attacking tollgates. Often, the men involved dressed as women and were therefore known in Welsh as Merched Beca (Rebecca's daughters).
