Cisco Calls for Privacy to be Considered a Fundamental Human Right--cisco.com Feb 07, 2019, excerpt:

"Cisco is calling on the U.S. government to develop a US federal privacy law that assures customers their data is protected. The American system should not just look to solve for today’s privacy discussions around monetization of customer data; it should aim to solve for the complex privacy needs of a world where tens of billions of devices are connected to the internet.

"Cisco urges three basic principles for U.S. legislation:

• Ensure interoperability between different privacy protection regimes;
• Avoid fracturing of legal obligations for data privacy through a uniform federal law that aligns with the emerging global consensus;
• Reassure customers that enforcement of privacy rights will be robust without costly and unnecessary litigation.

"Globally, Cisco will advocate for several common elements in privacy legislation, some of which include:

• Security: Assign responsibility to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resiliency of data;
• Transparency: Explain how data is collected, used, transferred, and disclosed;
• Accountability: Ensure governance for data under the entity’s stewardship, including a data protection team, applying a risk-based approach;
• Innovation: Recognize multi-stakeholder-driven initiatives that enhance transparency and provide paths for implementation."

Do Business Anywhere: Alibaba CEO Says Digital Tech Changing Retail

Davos 2017: Alibaba CEO Says Digital Tech is Changing Retail

Video above published Jan 18, 2017: Digital technology is drastically changing the way consumers shop for goods and services, and traditional retailers worldwide need to adapt by accelerating the integration of bricks-and-mortar with e-commerce to create new shopping experiences, Alibaba Group CEO Daniel Zhang told business elites at the 2017 World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland:

“In China shopping malls are very big. People get lost and cannot easily find the store, or their cars in the car parks. So how (do we) use technology to give people a better experience, a seamless experience between online and offline? And how can we give people a totally different experience, say you want to buy a beverage? One possibility is to order and have it delivered to your home, but why not order and have it delivered to your next stop?”

Zhang participated in a January 17th panel discussion on the future of consumption at the World Economic Forum meeting. Alibaba Group Executive Chairman Jack Ma and Eric Jing, CEO of Alibaba-affiliated fintech company Ant Financial, also appeared at the annual Davos confab.

During the future of consumption discussion, which included Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon and Heineken CEO Jean-Francois Boxmeer, panelists agreed that the consumer experience—and consumer products companies—will be reshaped during the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” which is being driven by technological advances in fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles and 3D printing.

“People will still go to the pub, and still go to the shop,” Boxmeer said, “but technology will revolutionize manufacturing in many, many ways. The digitalization of the economy has really changed how we work, and what we do today is absolutely not the way we did it 30 years ago … although we still bring you a bottle of beer.”

Helping to drive this revolution, Zhang said, is the increasing ability of companies to gather and, using AI and other technologies, analyze vast amounts of data to better understand, connect with and serve customers. “Data technology today is so far mainly on the sell side” in digital marketing,” he said. “Looking ahead, the technology will change more on the supply side, because we can get real-time customer and sales data so manufacturers can react to specific demand at the right occasions. We talk about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the IoT (Internet of Things), all of these things are based on data. As long as we have the data, we can change the entire business.”

Alibaba Group, the world’s largest e-commerce company, is already positioning itself not as an e-commerce platform “but as a data platform,” Zhang said. But even as the company urges retailers that sell in China through the company’s giant online marketplaces to join the Big Data revolution, Alibaba itself feels the pressure to adapt. Earlier this month, Alibaba Group offered to privatize Intime Retail, a top China department store and mall operator, a move the company said will help pave the way for the digital transformation of old-school retailing.

“The biggest risk we have today for our sustainability is disruption, disruptive technology and disruptive business model,” Zhang said. A few years ago, the company was surprised by how fast smartphones and the mobile internet proliferated in China. “We invested a lot to construct our leading mobile commerce app,” Zhang said. “Today we are very proud to say we are the largest mobile commerce company in the world. But if you look back, the process was very tough, if we could not change fast, then we would be killed by this new technology. So today, I always ask my team one question: whats the next entry point of the internet?” Zhang said. “You can have a lot of answers but we have to change fast. If we don’t want to be killed by new technology, then we should kill ourselves using new technology.

Rightside $NAME Q3 2015 Increases LOSS $3.4 Million, Webcast Replay

UPDATE 11 Nov 2015: Rightside Group Price Target Cut to $7.00  (Nasdaq:NAME): "Dakota Financial has reported that Rightside had its price objective lowered by Deutsche Bank from $8.00 to $7.00 in a note issued to investors on Tuesday, citing a StockTargetPrices.com report. "Deutsche Bank’s price objective suggests a potential downside of 13.26% from the company’s previous close." Rightside closed today DOWN -$0.30 -3.72% at $7.77.

Deepak Mathivanan - Deutsche Bank: "... So have you thought about maybe investing in certain capital and maybe acquiring some of these desperate one or two gTLD holders [new gTLD registry operators] which are out there? It seems like the market is pretty fragmented. Do you think you can go on a consolidation play here to acquire a few more [new] gTLDs?"

Taryn Naidu - Rightside Chief Executive Officer: "Yes, I think our focus right now is on going through the remaining 15 applications that we have but, yes, I think there is always going to be opportunities for us to look at increasing distribution or adding TLDs to the portfolio. But once you get through that it’s about how do we get into better growth mode of the gTLDs that we have and really again coming back to a lot of the success that we've seen on the retail side. The more and more we can share that information with the channel partners. The more and more we are going to see the trajectory of the gTLD program change."
