But it’s possible to guess some else’s password and impossible to steal their fingerprint. So what’s holding companies back from adopting biometrics? Find out in the December issue of Communications & Networking, which includes a Focus on biometrics. The December C&N also includes a feature on regulatory issues and a case study of Wardrup Engineering, which uses wide area file services to share large computer-aided design (CAD) files among offices around the world. Check out the November issue of C&N, which includes a feature on remote access, and a case study on Tucker Wireline, an oil well logging company that uses Telus Mobility’s 1X network to transmit invoices from the drilling sites to its head office. Communications & Networking is also scheduled to publish features on video services in the January issue and wide-area networks in February.

EDGE

In our December issue, EDGE magazine takes a good hard look at all the executive gadgets. And while individual users may be seduced by the gee-whiz appeal and hype around handheld “Swiss Army” computers, CIOs are taking a more critical view. Find out why in our next issue. Also, we look at how IT departments are expanding their focus, literally, as they are being asked to look at, support and even help purchase traditional office equipment all the way from small, compact digital projectors to the high-end expensive publishing systems and printers.
