HISPASAT Chooses Thomson Video Networks to Drive Trial of Ultra HD Content Delivery via HEVC
RENNES, France, Sept.新蒲崗迷你倉 9, 2013/PRNewswire/ --Thomson Video Networks today announced that HISPASAT has launched a trial demonstration of Ultra HD content delivery using the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) compression capabilities of the ViBE(TM) VS7000( https://.thomson-networks.com/en/products/video-compression/multiscreen-hevc-encoder ) multi-screen encoding platform. HISPASAT, a leading satellite transmission operator with a strong presence in Europe and South America, is deploying the VS7000 to deliver HEVC-encoded Ultra HD content to air via its HISPASAT 1E satellite platform. At IBC2013 in September, HISPASAT will demonstrate live Ultra HD video streams using the Thomson Video Networks technology."This demonstration plays an important role in our plans to promote the deployment of the most cutting-edge compression and delivery formats - giving our customers the ability to offer their viewers the absolute highest-quality viewing experience," said Ignacio Sanchis, chief commercial officer at HISPASAT. "With the Thomson Video Networks technology, we are hoping to create awareness within our customer base and deliver live Ultra HD streams that can be used in many different ways, such as demonstrating interoperability among manufacturers of TV sets and set-top boxes."Facilitated by Thomson Video Networks' exclusive MediaFlex video operating system, the ViBE VS7000 is one of the first worldwide implementations of the emerging HEVC compression standard - designed to lower operators' OPEX for delivery of a wide range of convergent TV services including WebTV and OTT, as well as traditional broadcast applications. The ViBE VS7000 video system combines Thomson's renowned next-generation compression platform for outstanding picture quality in an all-IP environment with live, broadcast-quality encoding; innovative video preprocessing; and faster-than-real-time file transcoding.Thomson Video Networks has been participating in a proof-of-concept mini storagerial with HISPASAT that ends this summer to demonstrate how its technologies can form an ecosystem to drive future commercial Ultra HD service offerings based on HEVC compression. The ViBE VS7000 will provide 4K file transcoding in HEVC, and Thomson Video Networks' Sapphire transport stream server will play out the Ultra HD HEVC-encoded content. The open-source GPAC or VLC HEVC-enabled media players will decode the HEVC content for display on TV sets.This trial demonstration is also one of the first steps in the H2B2VS and UltraHD4U Eureka research projects where partners set up a satellite 4K HEVC transmission, paving the way for HEVC-based broadband and broadcast services."By adding our own implementation of the new HEVC compression standard to the ViBE VS7000, Thomson Video Networks is paving the way for HD and Ultra HD content on any kind of device and any kind of network. HISPASAT is providing an important service to the media industry by proving that the technology exists today through the ViBE VS7000, and that it can be harnessed to encode 4K content in HEVC for actual Ultra HD delivery," said Christophe Delahousse, president of Thomson Video Networks.In addition to this HEVC trial demonstration, Thomson Video Networks and HISPASAT have signed a wider cooperation agreement to jointly promote Ultra HD TV. As part of this agreement, Thomson Video Networks will be a partner to the HISPASAT 4K channel, which will be launched at IBC this year.More about HISPASAT at .hispasat.com.More about Thomson Video Networks at .thomson-networks.com.More about H2B2VS at h2b2vs.epfl.ch.About UltraHD4UUltraHD4U is a Eureka Catrene research project aimed at investigating the complete UHDTV chain, from picture origination through to display devices.

Network to take care of mentally ill
Nationwide registration system will keep track of patients better By Shan Juan shanjuan@chinadaily.文件倉com.cn More than 3 million Chinese patients with serious mental disorders have been registered under a nationwide network of hospitals and heath administrations so that they can get better care, according to a senior official at the National Health and Family Planning Commission. The network, launched two years ago, is still being developed to cover as many mentally ill people on the mainland as possible, said Yan Jun, director of the mental health division at the commission’s Disease Prevention and Control Department. “Such a system can help mental health providers better keep track of the patients and take care of them, which serves not only public health, but also social stability and public safety,” she told China Daily in an exclusive interview. In 2009, more than 100 million Chinese had some form of mental disorder, and 16 million of them were severely mentally ill, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. To speed the registration of such patients, the commission issued a circular requiring that people with any of six types of serious mental illness were to be recorded in the national database. The six categories include schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, persistent delusional disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. Doctors were required after making the diagnosis to report to the hospital any patients with the serious mental illnesses. The hospital would then record the patient in the national system or submit a report to a county-level mental illness prevention and treatment agency no later than 10 days after the patient was discharged from the hospital. Collecting such information helps improve cooperation between hospitals, civil affairs departments, disabled persons’ federations and public security bureaus, to reduce any harm to others and society, Yan said. The network record存倉 such information as personal background; medical treatment and follow-up services; said Ma Hong, deputy director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center of Mental Health. Ma helped design the network and the training of doctors at the grassroots level who use it. Zhang Mingyuan, vice-chairman of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation and a veteran psychiatrist trained in the US, urged health authorities to fine-tune the network and improve mental health services on the mainland. Before 2010, only about 10 percent of seriously mentally ill people received psychiatric treatment, he said. In cities, about half of the patients who needed hospitalization could not afford it, and the situation was even worse in the countryside, he said. In a recent, widely reported case, a mentally ill man in Shangban, a village in Jiangxi province, was found to have been “kept in a locked cage” by his family for about 11 years. The plight of such patients has to be addressed, Zhang said, adding that taking proper care of them is also important to public safety. “Without good care, such patients might physically attack other people,” he said. According to media reports, China has on average 10,000 cases a year of mentally ill people threatening public safety. In about a third of those cases, people are killed. The cost of treatment in an inpatient unit can be partially covered by health insurance policies. However, there is little coverage for outpatient care or the long-term rehabilitation at communities, Yan Jun said. But some places have done a good job addressing the coverage gaps. Shanghai has introduced a policy to provide free outpatient care to needy patients. Last year, Jiangxi province began to subsidize community rehabilitation of the seriously mentally ill, she said. Community mental health clinics in Jiangxi now receive 100 yuan ($16.30) a year in state subsidy for each patient they take care of. 迷你倉

With HK firmly under its sway, Facebook aims to build on its success in the tech savvy city with targeted pitches, especially on mobile devicesWhen Sony Mobile Communications chose Facebook as the Hong Kong launch pad for its new Xperia smartphone in October last year, the campaign became one of the company’s most successful social media initiatives in the city.儲存The mobile phone maker said the Xperia vaulted to the top of the best-selling Android smartphones in Hong Kong about three weeks after the campaign was started, driven by the interest generated on Facebook.“We reached 3.5 million Facebook users within three weeks. It proves that quality content on social media is an effective way for a brand to engage consumers and achieve good business results,” said Michelle Au, Sony Mobile’s general manager for Hong Kong and Taiwan operations.Facebook, which has more than 1 million active advertisers worldwide, aims to step up development of online and mobile marketing campaigns in Hong Kong, where it estimates more than 60 per cent of the population access the social network each month.Jayne Leung Yau-mui, the director for North Asia at Facebook, said: “We see a lot of opportunities to work with advertisers in Hong Kong. Mobile is a big trend.”That optimism stems from Facebook’s strong market penetration in the city, which made it the biggest social network used in Hong Kong. Its internal estimates show about 4.3 million active monthly users as of June 30, of which about 3.5 million accessed the social network on their smartphones and media tablets.Asked about competition from fast-growing social messaging platforms such as Tencent’s WeChat and Line, Leung said: “Facebook is not just a communications tool.”She pointed out that the site’s users express themselves in various ways and have a wide breadth of connections.Citing data from research firm eMarketer, Facebook calculated about 2.9 million people in Hong Kong on average visit its site every day. Of that number, about 2.4 million do so on their mobile devices.The company’s worldwide numbers are loftier. It estimated 699 million daily active users on average as of June 30, with 469 million using the site on their mobile devices. It also recorded 1.15 billion monthly active users as of June 30, with the number of people logging on with their mobile devices reaching 8新蒲崗迷你倉9 million.In July, Facebook reported that mobile advertising accounted for 41 per cent of its US$1.6 billion global advertising sales in the second quarter. Its revenue in the past quarter grew 53 per cent to US$1.81 billion from US$1.18 billion a year ago.Leung, who runs operations in Hong Kong and Taiwan, said Facebook’s direct engagements with advertisers and advertising agencies in the city started in February 2011, when the company set up shop in Quarry Bay. It was the second office that Facebook opened in Asia after Singapore in September 2010.She declined to provide the number of advertising clients Facebook has in Hong Kong, but said the company typically worked with four types of clients: e-commerce firms, mobile application developers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large brands.E-commerce site Reebonz has used Facebook to target a specific demographic in Hong Kong: female, between the ages of 18 and 35.CottonWork, which sells custom-made shirts online, is one of Facebook’s active local SME advertisers, as is Hong Kong-based 6waves, an independent publisher of games for mobile app platforms and social networks.Leung said campaigns by large brands, such as Sony Mobile and Ocean Park Hong Kong, relied on the broad reach of Facebook to engage the large audience they want.“We are getting good traction in Hong Kong because marketers are now following where the eyeballs are,” she said.Last month, media-monitoring firm admanGo reported that advertising spending in online media in Hong Kong rose 37 per cent to HK$297 million in July, up from HK$216 million a year ago.However, campaigns targeted at mobile device users grew larger, at 583 per cent to HK$46 million last month from HK$7 million a year earlier.Advertising spending in the city rose 10 per cent to HK$3.71 billion in July, from HK$3.37 billion a year ago.Jennifer Ma, the director of sales and marketing at admanGo, said digital advertising had risen significantly in recent years. “Cosmetics and skincare products have been mostly promoted in print media, especially magazines, but more marketers have shifted their focus to online and mobile campaigns,” Ma said.She cited as an example Biotherm, the French luxury skincare brand owned by L’Oreal, which invested about 85 per cent of its HK$5.3 million advertising spending in July on digital campaigns.mini storage

City Hall Report
Source: Tulsa World, Okla.新蒲崗迷你倉Sept. 08--The issue: Sounds of the cityMayor Dewey Bartlett began his State of the City speech on Thursday with a riff on his harmonica."Some of you may have heard that I occasionally embarrass my family by playing the harmonica in front of a bunch of people," he said before starting. It was a launching point for a larger message, one that celebrated the city's rich musical history."Playing the blues harmonica reminds me of our city -- of the musical heritage that is unique to Tulsa," Bartlett said. "It reminds me of J.J. Cale, who recently died, a Tulsan who was an inspiration to many of today's legendary musicians: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Leon Russell, to name a few."Bartlett loves music enough to stand before hundreds of people and play a tune. He's done it before at Cain's Ballroom and the Guthrie Green.So as incongruous as it might have seemed to see the mayor, dressed in a gray pin-striped suit and red tie, standing before hundreds of other nattily dressed movers and shakers with a harmonica to his lips, it made sense for Bartlett.And it gave him the perfect lead-in to promote one of his favorite initiatives: the Mayor's Film & Music Advisory Board.Bartlett told the crowed gathered at the Cox Business Center that he created the board "to bring together our musical heritage with the creativity of the Tulsa music and film industry; to create jobs and opportunity; and to tap into the creative and the sometimes nontraditional side of our city."This from a man many would describe as a traditional Republican.And maybe that was the point. It's election season, after all, and Bartlett -- like any politician -- doesn't want to be narrowly defined.Then again, he may have just seen an audience and couldn't resist the urge to play.He did, after all, end his speech with another riff on his harmonica.Quotable"Elected people start drooling."- City Councilor Blake Ewing, describing how elected officials respond to Engineering Services Director Paul Zachary's well-organized requests for street repair funding, during a council meeting on economic development"We budgeted for the worst-case scenario, thankfully."- City Councilor G.T. Bynum, explaining that the city included $19 million in funding for Riverside Drive improvements in its proposed capital package before it was announced that the city's application for a $14.8 million federal grant to help fund the work was rejected"It appeared that a majority of the funding went to public transportation projects, freight rail and port projects."- James Wagner, with the Indian Nations Council of Governments, explaining who did receive TIGER grant funding"It could be in a tent as far as I am concerned."- Mayor Dewey Bartlett, speaking about his proposed aviation and aeronautics facility for high school students, during his State of the City speechLooking backCity's grant request rejected: The city of Tulsa will not be receiving a $14.8 million federal TIGER grant it applied for this year to help fund proposed improvements to Riverside Drive, city officials learned Thursday.The city hoped to use the grant to help pay for $40.1 million in improvements along Riverside Drive from 24th Street to 33rd Place in conjunction with A Gathering Place for Tulsa, which envisions amini storagelarge park on the east side of Riverside Drive and significant changes to River Parks on the west side.The area will be linked by two land bridges.Thursday's announcement does not mean that road work will not happen.Funding for the work has been included in the city's proposed $918.7 million capital improvements package set to go to voters in the Nov. 12 elections."It would have been great to get the funding," said Paul Zachary, director of the city's Engineering Services Department."That was $14.8 million out of the $19 million that is in the sales-tax package that could have been freed up for other projects or just not spent," he said. "But as far as our (capital improvement) funding package, we are not going to have to scramble."Among the projects to get funding is Oklahoma City's Intermodal Transportation Hub, which received $13.6 million.Taylor touts transparency: Former Mayor Kathy Taylor on Tuesday unveiled a plan to improve transparency and accountability at City Hall.Taylor, who will face Mayor Dewey Bartlett in the Nov. 12 general election, said the city lags behind other large municipalities when it comes to sharing information with residents."It is about creating easy-to-understand, easy-to-access, user-friendly information so you can understand in real time where your tax dollars are going," she said.Taylor's "Transparency and Accountability Plan for Tulsa" includes implementing the correct policies to ensure that government puts transparency first; improving the open records request process to provide information more quickly; making the city's website more user-friendly; updating the city's financial and information systems so that more information can be put online; and keeping information up to date so that residents can access it in real time.Discussing development: The city would benefit from having a single-action plan for spurring economic development, a working group exploring the issue concluded Tuesday."The process makes tons of sense to me that there be a community working list of projects so that when these projects or capital improvement packages come and go it isn't an afterthought to go: 'Oh, we should also be doing things to generate new revenue,' " said City Councilor Blake Ewing. "To me, that should be the first thing we're talking about so we can figure out how to pay for those roads the next time."Ewing is the chairman of the working group, which met for the second time.On Tuesday, representatives from the Tulsa Regional Chamber, the Indian Nations Council of Governments, the Economic Development Commission and the city's Planning and Economic Development Department presented their lists of the obstacles to economic development.They included a lack of structured parking, housing and hotel rooms downtown, too few transportation options citywide and not enough skilled laborers.Looking ahead6 p.m. Thursday: City Council meeting, City Council chambers of City Hall, Second Street and Cincinnati AvenueFollow us on TwitterFollow Tulsa World City Hall reporters Kevin Canfield (@KevinCanfieldTW) and Zack Stoycoff (@ZackStoycoffTW) for the latest news on the City of Tulsa.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)

HK bankers hope to fly high in Qianhai
In these days of cross-border finance amid massive job cuts, a key question for the unemployed in the banking world is how to penetrate the next frontier – the great financial wall of China.迷你倉新蒲崗The good news is that a little crack may have just opened, in the form of the Qianhai special economic zone, which dreams of becoming the “Manhattan of Guangdong” by packaging itself as the renminbi (RMB) trade settlement centre. The bad news is that, without much differentiation from other financial-capital wannabes across China, Qianhai may just be another mad mainland scheme.“I haven’t seen any immediate differentiator yet,” says Chris Chan, a professor of Ivey Business School in Asia. “Qianhai can borrow from Hong Kong’s expertise, but it needs to differentiate itself, especially vis-�-vis other zones, such as Shanghai’s Pudong.”Chan cites “positive speculation” about Qianhai’s prospects, especially as it can benefit Hong Kong with its potential to offer “profitable channels for offshore RMB deposits. However, similar zones have been set up, such as those in Tianjin and Bohai in the past 5-10 years,” Chan says, adding that these cities have not really taken off as financial capitals. “Qianhai must be careful in positioning itself.”As announced in June 2012, Qianhai – a 15 square-kilometre special economic zone built largely on reclaimed land in Shenzhen and near Hong Kong – will serve as a testing ground for free RMB convertibility. This means that, if all goes according to plan, companies registered in Qianhai can buy and sell RMB-denominated financial products between the special zone and the rest of the world, thereby bypassing China’s notoriously closed capital-account regime.On the jobs front, property and construction are expected to lead the way in Qianhai, followed by hotels and tourism. Not far behind are the financial engineers.“We think Qianhai will become an established onshore platform for most Hong Kong and international financial institutions currently operating i迷你倉出租 the region and I’m sure it will attract others that aren’t yet,” says Shenzhen-based Mark Tibbatts, director for southern China at Michael Page International. “It will also be a key platform for Chinese institutions to invest in Hong Kong and overseas and, as such, we expect to see a strong mix of both.”Tibbatts and his team expect to see the usual population of investment and commercial banks, asset managers, securities houses and investment funds all establish operations in Qianhai initially. “We also expect to see both front and back office operations located there over time,” he adds. Not that Qianhai will be giving Hong Kong a run for its money anytime soon. “With Qianhai still very much in an embryonic stage, there is no comparison to make,” Tibbatts says.Chan, the Ivey professor, also sees Qianhai as an attractive option for people familiar with investment, fixed-income and equity markets on the mainland. “It may offer specialised job types, such as in commercial banking or foreign exchange trading,” he says.To attract even more investors and talent, Qianhai will offer a corporate income tax of 15 per cent compared with 25 per cent for the rest of China and 16.5 per cent in Hong Kong. Personal income tax will be ‘equalised’ for an effective rate of 15 per cent, similar to Hong Kong. It will also drop business taxes on certain insurance income and offshore outsourcing services.These developments mark another chapter in the economic integration of southern China and the motherland’s prolific birthing of Hong Kong clones. And that, in the final analysis, can only be good for the city’s daring and enterprising financial talent.“Hong Kong is a global financial hub, and while it’s proximity to China has been hugely advantageous, the development of Qianhai isn’t going to jeopardise its reputation among financial-service industry professionals worldwide,” Tibbatts says. “If anything, it should enhance the strength of Hong Kong’s capital markets significantly.” Rex Aguado迷你倉

Time to cap corruption and end this mooncake madness
Media calls for end to expensive ‘gifts’ for officials as high-priced festival treats go underground to avoid the party’s radarThe Mid-Autumn Festival might be part of China’s “intangible cultural heritage”, but it is the more tangible aspects – bribes in the form of vastly expensive mooncakes – that have corruption watchdogs howling.迷你倉出租Ill-gotten wealth is most likely to change hands during auspicious festivals, not just for good luck, but because these events provide an opportunity to easily disguise the costs as business expenses. For this reason, it is not just the gifts that are precious, but also the receipts that lend credibility to corrupt dealings while offering fringe benefits.It is a time when mooncakes have as much value as gifts as they do to eat. Mooncakes are an expensive treat and those grabbing the attention of the wealthy – and, increasingly, the authorities – are the “sky-high-priced” versions that come decorated with gold, silver, crystals, or stuffed with shark’s fin and abalone.Last week, the Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published remarks President Xi Jinping made in his visit to Liaoning province, calling for an end to the use of public funds for such gifts, travel and other “unhealthy tendencies”.During a visit to Tianjin last Friday, commission head Wang Qishan said habits such as squandering money on mooncakes and hairy crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival had tainted the image of Chinese traditional festivals.The remarks were reprinted by the mainland media to “blow the wind of clean politics”. Only weeks earlier, a handful of news outlets exposed examples of ultra-expensive mooncakes. Other media followed suit, running editorials calling them “props of corruption”, as the average person could never afford them. By their reasoning, high-end mooncakes were bought by companies as “gifts” – bribes – for officials. And the higher the pri迷你倉e, the larger the bribe.Mainland media also pointed out that the elite mooncakes had gone semi-underground this year. High-class hotels or other institutions, including banks, put in special orders for discreet production.Many high-class hotels in Zhengzhou , Henan province, for example, sell mooncakes packaged with champagne and rare matsutake mushrooms for 1,999 yuan (HK$2,500) and 2,999 yuan. The more expensive package was especially popular, Beijing Evening News reported, noting that the packaging and accessories that came with the mooncakes were luxury items in their own right that could be used for other purposes, such as more gifts to officials.Receipts for such items also entitle whoever holds them to further gifts, dining, lodging or conferences that can be filed as expenses for reimbursement.“How can we put an end of these ‘deformed’ mooncakes after they’ve been packaged?” Beijing Evening News asked. “The key may not be in controlling production of the mooncakes, but rather putting an end to extra benefits people obtain through their purchase.”Southern Metropolis Daily said sending gifts during the festival or on National Day was essentially an abuse of power and that, because using public funds to pay for the gifts harmed the public interest, a crackdown was needed.The Changjiang Daily asked readers to re-examine the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional family festival that had nothing to do with money. It called on government departments to stop wasting public funds, and restore mooncakes to their original intention.Beijing Youth Daily suggested officials make better use of the paper trail to find out who was behind the illicit mooncake purchases: “Who wrote false receipts for ‘sky-high-priced’ mooncakes? Which units used what names to reimburse the payment? These are facts contained in documents that can be investigated. Then we can stop it,” it said.nan.wu@scmp.com儲存倉

“我看仲偉他們名頭不小,mini storage又是‘社會焦點網’‘今日焦點網’什麼的,頂著全國人大、中紀委一大堆中央部門主管網站的頭銜。而且我們企業形象好不容易做起來的,雖然知道他們純屬捏造虛構,但花錢買平安吧,我們還是服軟了……”9月6日,江蘇徐州。坐在記者面前的受害人代表、徐州經濟開發區某地產公司經理魏某言語中充滿憤慨,又透出幾分無奈和懊惱。日前,公安機關集中打擊網絡有組織製造傳播謠言等違法犯罪專項行動持續發力——公安部統一部署下,江蘇警方在徐州偵破“8·19”系列網絡敲詐勒索案,4個涉嫌實施網絡敲詐勒索的犯罪團伙被打掉,虛構“中央主管”背景的“社會焦點網”等11家非法網站被查處,仲偉等16名犯罪嫌疑人被繩之以法。透過這起涉及全國7省27市縣的系列案件,審視其爆料、炒作、發帖刪帖、敲詐一條龍的犯罪鏈條,剖析其屢屢得手的原因,我們在警醒之外,顯然還應有更多追問。網絡敲詐竟源自熟人幕後爆料“今年6月初,我突然接到一份傳真,是一份要求核實稿件的來函。”魏某說。這封標注為“社會焦點網”發來的函中寫道,你公司正在開發的地產項目是違規建設,請儘快聯繫我們,否則在網上曝光進行負面炒作,並留下了聯繫人趙某的名字及手機號。“一看就是假的,因為我們沒這方面的問題,就沒理睬。”魏某說。不料,過了幾天,他及公司多位管理層都接到了這位趙記者的電話,大意為來北京“談談你們公司的問題”,不然就在網上把公司的形象搞臭。十分愛惜企業形象的魏某有些害怕,決定帶著合法手續去趟北京,跟這個趙記者說明情況。哪知在北京見面後,趙某對各種證明材料根本不感冒,看都沒看就問魏某想怎麼解決問題,隨即明言“你們這種問題我處理得多了,用錢才能解決”,開價20萬元。多次討價還價後,魏某給了5萬元錢,趙某答應不在網上發負面帖文。魏某的麻煩並沒有結束。半個月後,他又接到電話,一個自稱姓韓、是“今日焦點網”記者的人表示,魏某企業存在違規建設問題,已在“今日焦點網”上頭條刊登。此人言語更惡劣、威脅更直接,揚言要炒得企業做不下去,如果給10萬塊錢就可以刪帖。魏某點開“今日焦點網”一看,企業的負面新聞果然在頭條上。不知所措的他找到了一個熟人——經常自誇“本事大、能擺平媒體”的徐州經濟開發區政宣辦幹部竇玉剛。竇答應幫他用5萬元解決此事,並帶他一起再赴北京見韓某。“竇玉剛拿著錢去見對方,沒讓我一起去。”魏某說,幾個小時後,竇玉剛就表示“搞定了”。如釋重負的魏某多次向竇致謝。一個多月後,警方端掉這一犯罪團伙,連帶偵破這起案件。直到此時魏某才知道,“趙某”和“韓某”都是犯罪嫌疑人仲偉等假扮,且與竇玉剛是一伙兒的,設計讓自己一步步落入圈套——警方查明,2013年5月,身在徐州的竇玉剛“爆料”給在北京的仲偉,說魏某公司的項目屬於違規建設。仲偉問是否屬實,竇表示不用問了,材料已經準備好。幾天後,竇去北京將材料交給仲偉;仲偉又到徐州實地“調查”一番,拍了一些照片以增強可信度。隨後,仲偉以“社會焦點網”趙姓記者的身份發傳真、打電話要挾,敲詐了魏某公司5萬元。竇玉剛得知後,告訴仲偉“錢給得太少了,這件事情可以再發帖”。仲偉安排人發帖後,以“今日焦點網”韓姓記者的身份再次敲詐魏某公司。此時,竇玉剛應邀出面,他向仲偉謊稱,仲偉第一次拿錢被魏某錄音了,還說魏某有黑社會背景,嚇唬仲偉不敢拿錢。於是,魏某第二次給的5萬元被竇獨吞。這是仲偉團伙最後一次作案,還沒來得及依約刪帖,就被悉數抓獲。警方查明,2010年以來,該團伙在江蘇、安徽等地作案61起,敲詐200余萬元;僅在徐州經濟開發區一地就得手7起,獲利73萬元。“魏某的案子反映出一個典型的網絡敲詐勒索犯罪鏈條。”辦案民警說。敲詐帖文一般是爆料人提供或從網上搜尋,並由專業寫手進一步修改。然後以兩種方式敲詐:一是向被敲詐單位發核稿函,或告知負面新聞在網上發表;二是發帖後再利用網絡推手大肆炒作,以此敲詐錢財。如敲詐成功,則刪帖或不予刊登,事後集體分贓;如不成功,繼續擴大炒作,以報復被敲詐單位。警方介紹,仲偉團伙分工明確,且專業性很強:首犯仲偉經營網站,有多年網絡敲詐“經驗”;負責爆料的竇玉剛等人或能接self storage政府內部信息,或四處搜集負面信息;負責撰寫、加工帖文的阮某是中學教師,文筆較好,還充當網站編輯出面談判;負責網站管理、發帖刪帖及組織網絡“水軍”炒作的黃某是軟件工程師,具有較高的網絡信息技術水平。 仲偉團伙是被打掉的4個團伙之一。該4個團伙還彼此勾結,相互爆料、分別實施敲詐。警方查明,他們近年來在各地大肆作案120余起,涉案金額300余萬元。目前,相關工作尚在進一步進行,案情還在不斷擴大。三兩個人編造“中央背景”為何屢屢得手?辦案民警介紹,45歲的團伙首犯仲偉是江蘇金湖人,原先在《今日中華》雜誌(中國今日焦點網)工作,期間接觸到了網絡這條生財之道,便開始借敲詐大賺“黑錢”。特別是2010年8月敲詐徐州經濟開發區某機械有限公司時,仲偉與前來協調的宣傳部門工作人員竇玉剛結識,竇便成為仲偉團伙的核心爆料人之一。“第一次見面時,仲偉說他的網站很牛,是中央部門主辦的,要是在他的網站上發負面新聞,肯定會讓上級部門下來查。”竇玉剛供述。那次敲詐中,仲偉到手5萬元,當他把其中1萬元作回扣給竇玉剛時,作為受害方代表的竇欣然收下。這樣,原本站在對立面的兩人,發現彼此臭味相投,於是決定結成團伙,大家一起發財,開價根據每次事件的大小來定。因為幾乎每次都能順利解決,竇玉剛在當地的名氣越來越大,被看做“能擺平媒體”的能人,這也是魏某被敲詐時找竇玉剛幫忙的原因。但是,除了“一起發財”,竇玉剛還有其他目的:他養著兩名情婦,敲詐所得大部分都用于此;他屢屢“爆料”再出面“滅火”,是為了打造一個“有本事”的形象,為自己將來提拔積累“政績”。仲偉沒想到,“中國今日焦點網”後來被依法取締,為了繼續敲詐,便開始自建網站。2010年、2012年,他通過虛假注資,分別註冊了南京卓訊文化傳媒有限公司和緯業焦點(北京)文化傳播有限公司,還在北京公司名下註冊了“社會焦點網”“社會網”“時代焦點網”“今日焦點網”“今日視點網”和“現代焦點網”6家網站。然而,這6家網站其實只有黃某一個網管,所有事務由仲偉一個人說了算。“我就是想通過報道社會上的負面新聞和賺取點擊量來賺錢。”仲偉向警方承認,自己並沒有記者證,許多“爆料”也基本不核實,但卻能屢屢得手。這是為什麼呢?警方指出,一個重要原因就是內外勾結。仲偉團伙中有竇玉剛這樣的政宣辦工作人員;另一個以樊宇肖為首犯的團伙中有一名江蘇宜興宣傳部門幹部。這些體制內的人掌握一些企業、單位違規的線索後,便爆料給體制外的團伙成員,一邊從外部威脅施壓,惡意炒作、誇大事實;一邊通過政府內部周旋協調,軟硬兼施脅迫就範。同時,這些犯罪團伙刻意虛構“顯赫身份”,極力顯示自己“能量很大”。例如,仲偉團伙為了唬人,給自己的名片、核稿函都印上了“全國人大常委會、中紀委等單位主管網站”的字樣,偽造“全國人大辦公廳”相關批復的公函;在談判時,屢屢提及全國人大、中紀委、最高人民檢察院等國家機關。樊宇肖團伙則偽造大量“新聞工作證”,編織記者身份。這讓社會公�一般很難辨別,受害單位甚至想不到去核實。“這些虛張聲勢的伎倆確實能騙倒很多人。”另一家受害單位、安徽淮北某項目公司負責人彭某說,當時他就是被仲偉等人的“名頭”嚇到了,以為中央部門要下來查,趕緊破財消災了事。專家說法>>>網絡監管必須探索新的手段人民大學法學院教授陳衛東表示,當前需要進一步規範各類網站的權責歸屬及管理制度,各有關部門要切實負起責任、密切協作、形成合力,堵塞監管漏洞,而不能出了問題一關了之,必須探索新的管理手段,實現對網絡監管和治理常態化、機制化、法制化。中國社會科學院研究員周漢華建議打防並舉,加快網絡立法步伐,加大行政執法力度和依法懲戒力度,以高壓嚴打態勢給違法犯罪分子形成強大威懾。多位專家指出,還應當引導廣大公�和企業單位,一方面要遵紀守法,身正不怕影子斜;另一方面要形成正確的網絡觀,不能將網絡片面地視為洪水猛獸,避之唯恐不及。政府有義務著力提高民�的網上鑑別能力,告知如何辨別非法網站,受到網絡敲詐如何應對;同時,要加強典型案例曝光、剖析,讓公�看清敲詐勒索者的真面目,自覺加入譴責、舉報、闢謠的行列中來。據新華社迷你倉
