The cyber revolution is just the latest in a series of waves of ‘creative destruction\' that arise when disruptive technologies, new organizational models, and innovative processes converge to spawn new sources of national power. Throughout history, nations that successfully harnessed revolutionary technologies and mastered new industries emerged as global powers on the international stage, strengthening their military power, transforming their economies, and enriching their societies. Cyber technologies hold the same promise, but also raise several critical questions: which nations will emerge as the leading cyber powers of the 21st century? What will be the primary sources of their comparative cyber power - military, economic, or cultural? How significant will be the roles of non-state actors (e.g., criminal syndicates, terrorist groups, multinational corporations, non-governmental organizations) in the future cyber balance of power? Finally, what should the role of the US Government be as this new balance of power emerges?

The Energy Department says it\'s linked up three of its national laboratories with a network that can move data at up to ten times the speed commercial IT providers can offer. DOE paid for the Advanced Networking Initiative with $62 million worth of money from the Recovery Act. The network lets researchers at labs in California, Illinois and Tennessee exchange information at 100 gigabits per second. DOE says it thinks the network could also drive the creation of similar technologies for commercial use.

The Postal Service is considering expanding its mail delivery business into the digital realm. A new white paper from USPS\'s inspector general explores the idea of what it calls the eMailbox. Customers could choose what mail they want to receive the old fashioned way, or in a new, secure electronic format, coupled with a new data storage service the IG calls eLockbox. The Postal Service explored a similar idea in the late 1990s, but eventually abandoned the concept because it felt the market wasn\'t yet mature enough.

The Treasury Department is taking a cloud-based approach to the Freedom of Information Act. The GoFOIA system includes three new services to make the submission and tracking of FOIA requests electronic. Members of the public can now submit their requests through a guided web portal. Agency personnel can then log in and view those requests through a dashboard format to chart the volume of pending FOIA filings. It also includes a new electronic document management system so Treasury employees can collaborate on putting together their responses to requests.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says a new system for tracking the development of tehnology projects has led to huge gains in on-time delivery of IT systems. VA introduced the Performance Management and Accountability System in 2009. Back then, it was only delivering 30-percent of its IT projects on schedule. But in new results just announced for 2011, VA says it met project milestones on 89 percent of its projects. And VA says half the projects that missed the milestones got caught up within the next two weeks.
