數碼21資訊科技策略諮詢委員會會議 Digital 21 Strategy Advisory Committee meeting

今天是新一屆數碼21資訊科技策略諮詢委員會第一次會議召開的日子。今屆的新會員當中包括了沈運生教授，香港業界對他認識，多數是由於他在科大電腦系任教，曾任系主任及香港政府的科學顧問，但我認識沈教授，卻是差不多二十五年前在普度大學時，沈教授除了在大學任教外，更是普度華人團契的領袖，當年為我施浸的正是沈教授。

說回這個數碼21資訊科技策略諮詢委員會，雖說是港府資訊科技決策的最高諮詢組織，但幾個月才開一次會，真的有用嗎？這問題不容易有肯定的答案，但我認為有參始終也有機會，也能瞭解多些決策者的可為與不可為。

在這次會議中討論較激烈的主題，是政府資訊科技採購的問題。政府採購資訊科技產品及服務，佔可觀的市場份額，但近年出現了很多嚴重的問題，例如很多大型政府資訊科技項目都出現「爛尾」情形；中小企和本土公司一直都不容易拿下政府的單子，即使拿到也常因政府部門項目管理的不善，令成本大增甚至不能完成項目，對這些情況，政府資訊科技總監辦公室（OGCIO）顯得不能有效地指導各政府部門。

就算是早前業界由我所屬的香港資訊科技商會統籌，多家服務供應商共同成功爭政府開放項目知產權，但有些部門仍不完全依隨指引，令單仲偕議員在會議上又要再提出向政府詢問，總之，問題仍未解決。這個問題，我必定會繼續關注跟進。

We had the first meeting of the new term of the Digital 21 Strategy Advisory Committee today. Among the new members today is Prof Vincent Shen, who is known to most of those in the industry in Hong Kong as a Professor of Computer Science in HKUST, formerly the department head and science advisor to the Hong Kong Government. But the Vincent that I knew from Purdue University 25 years ago was the leader of the Purdue Chinese Christian Fellowship. In fact, I was baptized by Vincent then.

Let's get back to the meeting today. Although the D21SAC is the "highest-level advisory committee" for IT, with only a meeting every three months, how effective is it? This is not easy to answer. But I do believe that participation is the right thing to do, and it helps us understand what policy-makers can or cannot do.

One of the more hotly debated topics this time was again about government IT procurement. Government IT procurement makes up a sizable proportion of Hong Kong's market. But a number of serious problems have been occurring with alarmingly increasing frequency. For instance, many large government IT projects have gone into troubles. Local companies or SMEs find it consistently difficult to get government contracts, and even if they get a job, troubles often still follow when project are mis-managed, leading to cost overruns. It seems that even OGCIO facing these problems are finding it hard to effectively direct all the IT departments in all the government branches.

Even though HKITF has coordinated with many concerned government IT suppliers to successfully get the government to open up the IP rights of delivered government projects, some departments are still found to be not following this new government guideline. Our IT legislator Mr Sin Chung-kai brought this up again in the meeting, and I will also commit to follow up accordingly.

科大「卓賢匯」晚宴 Confluence Dinner at HKUST

今晚在科大參加了「卓賢匯」的晚宴。今年已經是我第二年擔任這師友計劃的導師了，不過原來這個晚宴卻邀請計劃以外的學生參加，而我就被分派到一桌子十多位來自內地的全時間制本科生和交換生。

原來現在香港的大學有這麼多內地學生，尤其科大應有過千名，這些中國學生顯然十分適應香港的生活，部份更有在海外學習的經驗，另一些就對去海外升學很感興趣，在談話間我相信他們都是精英學生，未來前途光明，香港本地學生有機會與他們交流，是很好的事。

這些交換計劃真的愈來愈普遍，例如上星期我就花了半天在香港城市大學，為一個新的資訊管理課程進行審評，那課程的特色，就是包括了到海外或內地作交換生的部份；同學們即使不能留學海外完成整個學位，至少作一段交換也是吸取一些國際經驗的好辦法。

I was in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology tonight for a special dinner of the Confluence program, of which I am now in my second year as a mentor. Many students who are not mentees under the program are invited to this dinner tonight to meet with mentors like us. I was assigned to a table of mainland students, both full-time and exchange.

I did not realize before that there are so many Mainland students now studying in Hong Kong. There are more than a thousand of them in HKUST alone. It is quite obvious to me that these young people from China are adapting very well to life in Hong Kong. Some of them even have significant study experience overseas before, while others have shown strong interests to go abroad for their future advanced studies. It is also a great experience for the local students to be able to interact with them.

These exchange programs are becoming more and more popular and common. In fact, a new academic program in information management, which I spent half a day in the City University of Hong Kong for program validatio, also will have substantial exchange component, either to overseas or the Mainland. Even if students cannot actually finish the whole degree overseas, it would still be a great way to gain valuable international exposure.

香港電台新媒體發展如何配合社會需求 Issues about RTHK's new media development

今天我應邀在香港電台節目顧問團會議上發言，而今次會議的主題是「香港電台新媒體發展如何配合社會需求」。

我的題目是互聯網視頻的新趨勢，尤其是中國特別流行的P2P流媒體。會議上多位顧問發言，例如有學者指港台的主要發展空間應該在香港以外，也有很多位社會服務界朋友指出港台為小眾社群提供的服務遠遠不足。

港台內容要打出港外，不應只集中發展自己的網站服務，尤其是面對中國市場，要訂出較具彈性的內容授權機制；網上視頻的可容頻度基本上是無限的，是發展公民社會參與及小眾內容的好媒體，不過，對小數民族人士、長者、婦女等而言，缺乏電腦等儀器和在家上網的裝置，這正是個政府有必要回應的社會數碼共融問題。

但有一點是顧問們極少提出的，就是政府願意提供給公共電台的資源，當然，這也正是問題的核心。

I was invited to be a speaker in the meeting of RTHK's advisors today. The topic of discussion this time was the role of RTHK in the age of new media.

My presentation focused on the latest trends in Internet video, in particular the very popular P2P streaming services in China. Many advisors commented that the future room for development of RTHK should be outside Hong Kong, while others from social service organizations urged RTHK to provide more programs for minority interests.

If its content is to expand out of Hong Kong, RTHK cannot focus only on its own web development. Especially for the China market, RTHK's content licensing must be made more flexible. With virtually no limit on the number of channels provided online, Internet video is a naturally suitable media for civil society participation and minority content.

However, for ethnic minorities, elderlies and women, the problems that they face is usually about the lack of computers and Internet subscriptions. And, this is a digital inclusion issue that the Government must face up to.

But, there is one important issue that few advisors touched on. This is, of course, money. How much resources would our Government provide for this purpose? This remains the core of the problem.

討論數碼21資訊科技策略 Discussing Digital 21 Strategy

今天參加了香港一家大學畢業同學會主辦的一個午餐會，談談香港政府最近推出作諮詢的數碼21資訊科技策略。參與的朋友來自業內外的各方，短短一個午飯時間的交流仍然很充實。

座上有中小型IT服務商的朋友批評政府沒有考慮有利本土企業發展的環境，這是個老問題，未解決，特首提倡「大市場，小政府」，但香港的本土IT市場小，政府採購也不便利本地中小企參與，豈不是只有「小市場，小政府」？政府協助本地IT企業及人創造環境，責無旁貸。

席間不少朋友都提及無線寬頻服務的發展，香港在此的確落後了，這個課題我已經推動了很久，也有愈來愈多的行家表示同意，政府真的不能再漠視了，如果特首還是不明白這是什麼，我和很多電訊、互聯網、無線應用和內容供應商萬分願意再說一遍。

對於數碼21資訊科技策略，我的意見是這是一篇很全面的報告，但缺乏遠景及承諾可達目標，也絲毫沒有任何具體產業政策可言，再此下去，香港會白白浪費我們的IT戰略資產，未來連在知識型中國的地位也令人擔憂。


I attended a lunch-time discussion today, organized by the graduate association of a local university. The topic was the recent Digital 21 Strategy consultation. We had very solid discussions over lunch with friends from different parts of the IT industry and beyond.

A friend from a successful local IT service provider lamented that the Government has failed to provide a favorable environment for local small and medium sized businesses. This is of course nothing new. The Chief Executive has been talking about "big market, small government" lately. But the local IT market is relatively small, and our Government procurement policies are far from ideal for local SME participation. So, isn't "small market, small government" the actual reality? There is no excuse for our Government not to assist our sector or our professionals to develop an environment more conducive to growth.

Many also brought up the issue of wireless broadband services, and I really believe that Hong Kong is already behind in this regard. I have been proposing a wireless Hong Kong network covered by Wifi and WiMAX (in future) for years. While I am glad that more and more friends from the industry is joining the call, I am also very disappointed by Government inactions. If our Chief Executive still does not know what we are talking about, many of our friends in IT, telecom, Internet, wireless applications and content providers will be more than willing to explain all over again.

The strategy document is a very comprehensive report, but it lacks visions and commitments to achievable goals. There is still no trace of industrial policy for IT. As this continues, Hong Kong is wasting our valuable strategic assets in IT, and we have to even begin to worry about our future role in a knowledge-based China.

佛利民與積極不干預 Milton Friedman and positive non-interventionism

昨天我在上海的大學教授來港授課，我和一些同學找了他一起吃飯，談天說地。老師的研究範圍是產業經濟，我們便問起他對最近逝世的諾貝爾經濟學獎得主佛利民（Milton Friedman）的看法，包括他剛好在臨終前不久對香港特首說放棄積極不干預的回應。

簡單地總結教授的意見，他認為彿利民是一個較極端的自由市場經濟論學者，他的理論在一九七零年代解釋當年在二戰後美國消費經濟發展有重要貢獻，對列根經濟也有很大影響，但他對香港的批評，可能更多地出於一種不願意看見香港這個代表他的思想的經濟，在實際或名義上偏離他的理論。我想，這就像一個父親最喜歡的兒子，說了一些父親不喜歡話，傷透了父親的心。

佛利民說過：「如果你要看見活著的資本主義，去香港吧。」我不敢說佛利民不瞭解香港的實況，也不知道他在香港回歸後有沒有來港，但我始終覺得也許香港對他只是一些數字居多，香港經濟轉型發展面對的方向問題，未必能泠泠地只以理論定位。

我心目中的問題是，香港今天在全球化世界中，處於亞洲各個比香港都要干預的經濟體系的對手中間，若然「獨善其身」，是好是壞？從另一個層次看，在今天全球化的世界中，彿利民式的自由經濟論，是否有修正空間？我沒有答案，但覺得這些會是不錯的研究題目。

不過話說回來，雖然我並不認同香港的所謂積極不干預，令我擔心的，卻是香港的官員們，由特首開始，是否懂得如何干預，才對香港整體有利，而不是只對大財團有好處？在過去，港府似乎為既得利益者作的干預，來得為資訊科技這些無權無勢的界別，更是積極、直接，也許，這才是問題癥結所在。

我早前曾發表有關積極不干預的文章有：
邊緣化的機遇
新經濟策略

Yesterday my professor from Shanghai was in town to teach, and some classmates and I caught up with him for dinner and some good chats. The professor's research focus is in industrial economics, so we asked him about his views on Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner in economics, who recently passed away. Just before he died, Friedman of course was very critical of the Chief Executive's comment on the end of "positive non-interventionism".

To briefly summarize the views of my professor, he believed that Friedman is an extremist among free market economists, and his theories made substantial contribution in the 1970s to explain the development of American consumer economics. Of course, he also greatly influenced Reaganomics of a decade later. But, his harsh criticism in the end may be more of a reaction to watching unwillingly that Hong Kong, an economy which symbolizes his views, apparently moving away from him. I think that it is like a father's favorite son has suddenly said something that the father dislikes, breaking the father's heart.

Friedman once said, "If you want to see capitalism in action, go to Hong Kong." I dare not say that he does not know the actual situations in Hong Kong, and I don't know if he has come to Hong Kong after the handover. Yet, Hong Kong may still be more like a bunch of numbers to him. The directional and developmental problems faced by Hong Kong in our economic transition cannot be coldly guided by some theory.

The question I have in my mind is that, in today's globalized economy, Hong Kong, being in the midst of other neighboring competiting economies that are all more interfering than we are, is it even possible, let alone good or bad, for us to go our own way? On another level, in today's globalized world, is there room for revision to Friedman's free market economic theory? I don't have the answers, but I would think that these would make good research topics.

Looking back at Hong Kong, even though I do not support the so-called positive non-interventionism, what worries me is whether officials in Hong Kong, starting from the Chief Executive down, know how to intervene positively, so as to bring benefits to the whole of Hong Kong, rather than just for the big conglomerates. Up to now, we see that the Government have intervened more actively and directly for the benefits of the have's, than for those sectors which have little power, like information technology. Maybe this is where the real problem lies.

向老師們講面對資訊洪流 Talk for teachers on dealing with the flooding of information

今天早上為一家教育公司為百多名老師辦的研討會，擔任了主講嘉賓，我的題目是「裝備自己，駕馭潮流」，談論如何處理學生濫用資訊科技的問題，和如提升學生的資訊素養。我們就著一些有趣問題，進行了即時分析，這些題目就像：傳媒報導的可信性如何？身為藝人被狗仔隊偷拍私生活，應視之為閒事，工作需要還是被侵犯？當老師處罰學生時，有同學拿出手機攝錄，你會如何處理？老師實在不想這樣地變成YouTube明星呵！

Yesterday morning I was the speaker in a seminar organized by an educational company for over 100 teachers. My topic was "Equipping Oneself to Ride on the Latest Trend," and we discussed how to handle the problem of the misuse of the information technology, and how to elevate the information literacy of the students. Our group has discussed a number of questions, and instant pollings were conducted, and the results were analyzed. Some sample questions: What is the credibility of the media? How should artists look at the issue of paparazzis spying on their lives -- as a very casual matter, a part of work, or being violated? When a teacher is conducting punishment on a student, if another student pulls out a mobile phone with camera to record the incident, what should the teacher do? Naturally, no teacher wants to become a YouTube star this way!

保護我們的環境 Protecting our environment

今天我與十多萬香港人一起到了舊天星碼頭，在它和鐘樓最後運作的一天，作點集體回憶。香港就是這樣，不專重自己的歷史，維港也愈來愈不像樣。愛香港，就要護香港，保護我們的環境，在這方面，資訊科技界也有責任，也代表著機會。

多點推動電子化，少點使用紙張，對保護環境是好事；但更重要的，是電腦廢物對我們地球的污染，已經到了人類不能逃避的階段，每天從海外運到我們中國的毒物，正在殺害中國的土地和人民，尤其是重金屬對兒童的為害更令人痛心。

我們作為資訊科技界的一份子，有責任推動電腦廢物回收，由用者協助支付回收費用，業界也要配合，讓我們一同關注和推動這方面的立法和教育吧！



Today, I witnessed in person the last day of operation of the old Star Ferry terminal and its clock tower. Hong Kong does not respect our own history. Our Victoria Harbour is vanishing. To love Hong Kong is to protect Hong Kong and our environment. In this regard, we in the information technology sector has our responsibilities and we also carry many opportunities.

More adoption of IT may reduce the use of paper, and this may be a good thing for our environment. But more important than that, we must do something about the contamination of our Earth from computer wastes. Every day, tons of computer wastes are shipped to China, killing our land and pur people. It is painful for us to even think about our children being murdered with poisons from heavy metal.

We as part of the IT sector have the responsibility to push for recycling of computer wastes, based on the "user-pays" principle, with industry cooperation. Let us work together to concern and propose the necessary legislation and education!

與港大談互聯網規管 Conversation with HKU on Internet regulation

我在香港大學的中國資訊科技及法律中心以「互聯網規管中服務供應商的角色」，我的簡報可在這裡下載。

我談及的內容主要包香港去年的BT刑事案件和後來版權擁有者向互聯網供應商要求得到用戶資料的案件，以及中國政府對互聯網的監控。

有關這些問題，我以前發表的文章有：
探視中國防火長城
內地多網絡順民
侵權舉證「技術疑點」法例須釐清




I gave a talk on November 6 at the China IT & Law Centre of the University of Hong Kong, on the topic of "The role of ISPs in the regulation of the Internet." My powerpoint presentation can be downloaded here.

The focus of my talk was over the criminal case over BT download last year and the subsequent request from copyright owners to Internet service providers for users' personal data, and also the Internet regulations imposed by the Chinese government.

2008 IT界一人一票：是時候了 One Person, One Vote for IT: It's Time

我們IT界從業人員據統計有七萬多，為什麼只有五千左右的選民？我們IT界得到公平參與，聲音更壯大，就要推動《2008 IT界一人一票》的運動，這將會是我未來工作重點！

With over 70,000 IT practitioners, why are there only just over 5,000 IT voters? In order to achieve fair participation by all in the IT sector, and a bigger voice for us all, I will dedicate myself to promote “2008 One Person, One Vote for IT.”

候選人專訪 An Interview with the Candidate

你希望如何推動香港IT界，有何具體發展方向？

我會繼續推動IT作為香港經濟發展的重要資本，特別在「教育+研發」、「專業+人才」、「產業+企業」這三方面，強化香港社會在創意、創新及創業活動的核心能力。

我相信IT的四大核心價值—資訊自由、資料私隱、公平競爭及數碼共融，我會推動更有效的產業政策，包括成立專業資格認證、增撥IT持續進修資助、爭取企業得到較佳市場拓展支援及在內地獲得國民待遇、建立知識產權交換平台、鼓勵電子醫療應用等各項具體工作。

你將會以哪些準則提名及投票選出下一任特首？

我會提名及投票選出一位對IT專業有承擔，對知識型經濟發展有遠見，並願意深化香港創新及科技基建投資及應用的特首；而是香港作為一個自由、開放、國際化的大都會，民主普選是人民的基本權利，所以，我要求下一任特首能承諾加快民主政制發展，支持2012年雙普選。

我並承諾將與下任特首建立溝通及監察機制，向IT界的選民定期匯報。

What are your development directions and initiatives for Hong Kong’s IT industry?

I will continue to promote IT as a critical asset for Hong Kong’s economy, especially in education/R&D, professional manpower and industry/enterprises, in order to strengthen our core competency in creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

I believe in the four core values of IT: information freedom, data privacy, fair competition and digital inclusion. I will strive to develop more effective IT industry policies, including professional certification, allocating more continuing educational fund for IT, better marketing support for firms, national treatment in the Mainland, setting up an intellectual property trading platform, and promoting health IT applications.

What are your criteria in nominating and voting for the next Chief Executive?

I will nominate and vote for a Chief Executive who is committed to support the IT profession, and increase Hong Kong’s investment in innovative and technological infrastructure and applications. Hong Kong as a free, open and international city should recognize universal suffrage to be the basic right of all citizens. I call for our next Chief Executive to support direction elections in 2012.

I will also monitor the future Chief Executive, and report periodically to voters in the IT sector.

政綱要點 Platform

1. 重視IT專業為香港戰略資本
2. 增加投資IT持續教育、電子醫療等重點應用
3. 推動IT專業資格及成立認證
4. 協助IT企業拓展市場及爭取內國民待遇
