“Olympics: 'I don't know if guards speak English', says G4S chief The head of the firm at the centre of the Olympics security fiasco has admitted to not knowing if the guards hired speak fluent English. By Laura Donnelly 9:45AM BST 14 Jul 2012 Nick Buckles, chief executive of G4S said he deeply regretted the company's failure to recruit enough staff, which will see troops called in to fill in the gaps. He said attempts to recruit 10,000 workers had been "complex" and that the firm had underestimated the scale of the task.
But when challenged about whether those recruited by G4S even spoke fluent English, Mr Buckles struggled to answer the question. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Saturday morning: "That is a difficult question to answer. They all have a right to work in the UK and have been vetted to very high standards." When the question was repeated he admitted: "I can't say categorically."

When he was asked the question in a later interview on Saturday, he told Sky News [News Corp]: "As part of the SIA (Security Industry Authority) training and as part of the SIA certification you have to be able to speak English. That's the standard for the UK security industry."
“Cisco's role at The Games As the official network infrastructure supporter for London 2012, we're helping to make it the most connected Games ever. This means that Cisco's network infrastructure will underpin the delivery of the voice, video and data traffic for London 2012 that will be carried over BT's communications services network to the thousands of people o officiating, reporting, competing in or enjoying The Games.
We are also providing essential network infrastructure equipment that will support the Games time and administration applications on the LOCOG network. This includes network security appliances, routing and switching equipment, wireless access points and controllers, IP telephony, handsets and the call manager system via our Hosted Unified Collaboration Service (HUCS from BT).”
“BRUSSELS (Reuters) - U.S. network equipment maker Cisco is expected to gain unconditional EU approval for its $5 billion purchase of TV software developer NDS after regulators indicated the deal would not pose any serious competition concerns, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday. The NDS acquisition will be Cisco's biggest deal and comes after its $3.3 billion purchase of Norwegian conferencing company Tandberg in 2009. NDS is 51 percent owned by private equity fund Permira and the rest by News Corp [the Murdoch-controlled MitM propaganda machine which allegedly used NDS' VideoGuard software to encrypt the first live broadcast mass snuff film in human history on 9/11] . "At this point, the Commission has not expressed any serious concerns on any particular issues to the parties," said the person, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. The European Commission has set a July 23 deadline for a decision. The purchase of NDS will extend Cisco's presence in emerging markets such as China, where CCTV is an NDS customer, andIndia where TataSky is also a client. NDS' other users include BSkyB and Sky Italia in Europe, and Cablevision Systems Corp, Comcast Corp and Rogers Communications Inc. in North America. NDS' software allows cable and satellite TV companies to deliver encrypted content through televisions and other devices. Cisco's core business is routers and switches that manage Internet traffic.

“Cisco Surfaces in Transcribed 9/11 Pager Messages Posted on November 25, 2009 | 1 Comment At CBSNews.com, Declan McCullagh reports that pager transcripts, apparently documenting messages sent during the events of 9/11, have been posted at WikiLeaks.org. As McCullagh notes, the pager logs seem to represent messages transmitted on September 11, 2001, through the networks of Arch Wireless, Metrocall, Skytel, and Weblink Wireless. It’s not clear how the transcripts were obtained, but over-the-air interception [MitM attack] is strongly suspected. From an information-technology perspective, the most intriguing message is one allegedly sent at 4:18pm by Jim Massa, then Cisco’s director of federal operations, to Charlie Giancarlo, then Cisco’s chief development officer and now with private-equity firm Silver Lake, which recently claimed an ownership stake in Skype. Here’s an excerpt from McCullagh on the Cisco-related exchange: Whatever their origin, the logs are likely to raise more questions than they answer. Take this intriguing message that was sent by Jim Massa, then Cisco’s director of federal operations, at 4:18 p.m. It said: “NEED TO DISCUSS FBI TEN THOUSAND UNIT REQUIREMENT ASAP.” The recipient appears to be Cisco Chief Development Officer Charlie Giancarlo, who left the company in 2007 and now works at a venture capital firm in Menlo Park, Calif. called Silver Lake. A Cisco representative said in e-mail to CBSNews.com: “I know we worked closely with law enforcement after the attacks but I don’t have any specifics.” Massa did not immediately respond to a request for comment. One possibility is that the FBI urgently needed routers or other Cisco gear to upgrade its own network. But technical experts that CBSNews.com contacted believed it’s more likely that the FBI was working with Internet service providers to reconfigure their networks with Cisco hardware to allow wiretaps to be conducted more readily. [On 9/11, Cisco partnered Obama law firm Sidley Austin and Vicky Huhne KPMG Consulting] Around that time, Cisco was beginning to develop wiretap capabilities for its routers — a concept that eventually became known as “lawful intercept.” Jim (or James) Massa now runs Loom Enterprises, a consultancy that allows “synergistic relationships to be formed between individuals, businesses, educational institutions, governments as well as faith-based and non-faith-based non-profit organizations.” We’ll see whether McCullagh can learn more about the FBI’s urgent “ten-thousand unit requirement.”
