INTERNET ADVERTISING GUIDELINES Martin Nisenholtz of advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather has come up with six guidelines for tasteful advertising on the Internet: 1) Don't send intrusive messages. 2) Don't sell consumer data without the express permission of the user. 3) Advertising should appear only in designated newsgroups and list servers. 4) Conduct promotions and direct selling only under full disclosure. 5) Conduct research only with the consumer's informed consent. 6) Never use Internet communications software to conceal functions. (New York Times 8/3/94 C16) ANS BUILDS A BETTER BACKBONE In response to continuing growth in Internet traffic, Advanced Network & Services, which operates the largest public Internet backbone in the world, has doubled the switching capacity of the T3 routers it uses and upgraded the core technology to make the network more agile . The ANS backbone currently handles more than 10 terabytes of traffic each month -- about 53 billion packets of data. (Internet World 9/94 p.12)
