AT&T to release 7 new smart phones

January 6th, 2010

AT&T, one of the largest provider of wireless service in the United States, is planning to release seven new smart phones, according to news reports on Thursday.

The communication giant announced it would sell seven new smart phones in the first half of 2010, including two using the Palm technology and five using the Google’s Android technology.

As AT&T’s 3G contract with Apple will end by the middle of this year, it has begun to seek for new partners.

And as Palm is under pressure to find its technology carriers, AT&T proves to be one of its best choices.

AT&T has also begun to make its first venture with Google by carrying its Android operating system.

In the apps world, it also plans the “apps for all” as Apple is doing. The company also announced it would expand its phone apps to more phone companies and develop more apps and other devices.

“Our goal is to bring more apps to millions more of our customers who want convenient access to the market’s hottest apps,” AT&T’s CEO Ralph de la Vega said in a written statement.

Australian astronomer uses ancient culture, Google maps to identify crater

December 29th, 2009

An Australian astronomer has used ancient culture and modern technology to identify a meteorite crater in central Australia.

Macquarie University PHD candidate Duane Hamacher said on Monday he had spent the past 18 months researching how Aboriginal people have incorporated the night sky into their culture.

He used an Arrernte dreaming story and Google maps to find a crater at Palm Valley, west of Alice Springs, which had been unknown to geologists.

“The particular Western Arrernte story talked about a star that fell from the sky, making a noise like thunder and crashed into a waterhole in Palm Valley,” he told Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

“What I decided to do was look on Google Earth, Google Maps and check that area out and see if there was any impact crater that could be seen.

“There happened to be a giant bowl-shaped structure right smack in the middle of Palm Valley that looked just like a meteorite crater.”

Hamacher said he is writing a paper on the data he has collected from the site and that he hopes to publish it in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science early next year.

Twitter becomes profitable

December 26th, 2009

Twitter has finally reached profitability for the first time after signing deals with Google and Microsoft to make the micro-blogging service searchable on the Internet, BusinessWeek magazine reported on Monday. Twitter had signed a 15 million U.S.dollar data-mining deal with Google and a 10 million dollar agreement with Microsoft.

Bloomberg’s BusinessWeek magazine quoted an unidentified person, said to be familiar with the company’s financing, as saying, “The deals were huge. With two scoops of the pen, a lot of revenue came in.” The magazine said the agreements to make Twitter messages known as “tweets” searchable by Google and Microsoft’s new search engine Bing “carry sufficient value to help Twitter achieve a small profit for 2009.”

It said Twitter also achieved profitability through the renegotiating of deals with telecommunications companies in order reduce costs. Twitter has been working on ways to make money from its globally popular service since its 2006 launch. Revenue producing ideas mentioned to date include selling premium accounts that businesses could use for marketing or image building. The San Francisco-based startup has attracted millions of users since it began.

IT industry hits bottom in 2009 but upward route still unclear

December 24th, 2009

It seems that some of the worst-case scenarios, predicted earlier in 2009 for the information technology (IT) industry, might have unexpected happy endings as the year draws to a close.

Research firm Gartner painted a gloomy picture in March, forecasting global personal computer (PC) shipments will plunge 11.9 percent in the year from 2008, a drop it said would be the sharpest for the industry in history and would dwarf the previous record decline reached in 2001 during the dot-com bust.

In the following months, Gartner made several adjustments to the predictions with optimism increasing each time.

In most recent updates issued in November, the firm said it now expect worldwide PC shipments to climb 2.8 percent year-on-year in2009 and will achieve double-digit growth in the coming year.

The increasing demand for PCs is seen as a key indicator that the overall IT market has bottomed out and may be embarking on the road to recovery.

Further proofs of a rebound came from the industry’s heavyweight companies, as Silicon Valley big names including Intel, Google, Apple, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard all posted better-than-expected earnings in their most recent quarter.

Executives, relatively cautious while entering the year, were also starting to offer more upbeat rhetoric, fueling the hope that dark cloud of recession is dissipating.

“While there is a lot of uncertainty about the pace of economic recovery, we believe the worst of the recession is behind us and now feel confident about investing heavily in our future,” Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer (CEO) of Google, said in October.

Schmidt’s words were echoed by Cisco’s CEO John Chambers, who in November declared that “economic recovery is well under way.”

Gartner and others are projecting the IT industry will resume growth in 2010 though analysts differ on whether the recovery will follow V, U or other shape of trajectory.

In a report released in December, research firm IDC said the industry is expected to expand by more than 3 percent in the coming year after a painful market shrinkage of over 8 percent in 2009.

However, it also warned of the potential downside risks the IT industry may face on the path ahead.

“The main downside risk is from double-dip recession in mature economies where unemployment is high, consumer confidence is weak, business profits have been protected by cost reductions (including layoffs), and government stimulus will be temporary,” IDC said.

As mature economies may remain weak and vulnerable to risk factors throughout much of 2010, emerging markets will be a major ensuring factor to the global IT market recovery, according to IDC.

The research firm predicted that more than half of the IT industry growth in 2010 will be fueled by emerging markets led by BRIC, short for Brazil, Russia, India and China.

IDC said the importance of emerging markets to global IT suppliers will accelerate with the BRIC markets alone expected to account for more than 10 percent of global IT spending by the end of 2010.

Peter Sondergaard, senior vice president of Gartner, expressed similar views in October at a Gartner symposium held in the U.S. state of Florida.

By 2012, the accelerated IT spending and culturally different approach to IT in the emerging economies will directly influence product features, service structures and the overall IT industry and “Silicon Valley will not be in the driver’s seat anymore,” he projected.

Real-time search deals make Twitter profitable

December 22nd, 2009

Twitter has reached profitability after securing real-time content search deals with Google and Microsoft that together bring in 25 million U.S. dollars for the popular micro-blogging website, U.S. media reported on Monday.

An agreement that made Twitter users’ 140-character live updates searchable on Google’s site will generate about 15 million dollars, Business Week magazine reported on its website.

A similar deal to make Twitter’s content available on Microsoft’s search engine Bing will earn Twitter another 10 million dollars.

The two multi-year agreements, both announced in October, carry sufficient value to help Twitter achieve a small profit for 2009, the report said, citing two people familiar with the company’s finances who asked to remain anonymous.

According to research firm ComScore, three-year-old Twitter has more than 58 million global monthly users, and has emerged as the third most popular social networking website in the United States after Facebook and MySpace.

Analysts and investors have been watching closely how Twitter would convert its popularity into revenue and profit.

Conferences call for online copyright protection

December 20th, 2009

China is calling for a joint effort by the government, copyright industry and private enterprises to fight media piracy.

Government officials, NGO representatives, Internet operators and experts from both China and the U.S. attended a forum on Sino-U.S. Internet copyright protection Friday in Beijing, raising possible measures regarding the healthy development of the Internet.

Last month, Chinese authors took search engine Google to court after their works were scanned into its digital library without permission.

Maureen B. Collins, an assistant professor at the John Marshall Law School, said the biggest problem with Google and its efforts to digitalize books was that it ignored copyright laws and regulations.

Both China and the U.S. held an attitude of cooperation and signed a memorandum of understanding on copyright last year, said Ke Heng, a senior consultant from the Jones Day Beijing Representative Office.

Kou Xiaowei, deputy director of the science and digital publishing division at the State Copyright Administration, suggested enacting a regulation on the legal use of digital copyright, aside from the current Copyright Law and Regulations for the Protection of the Right of Communication through Information Network.

Zhang Hongbo, deputy director-general of China Written Works Copyright Society, said, “The current regulations can’t meet the development of modern information technol-ogy and the copyright industry.”

A new platform for online copyright trading was urged.

It is necessary to establish a digital copyright trading platform to contain information about copyright owners, authentication and trade negotiations, Kou said.

“We used to set up copyright agents, but it turned out not as good as we thought,” Kou said. “I think we can mobilize social forces to develop a suitable business model.”

Friday’s forum was one of an increasing number of conferences and forums about on-line copyright held in China.

Wang Yefei, deputy director-general of the National Copyright Administration, said earlier that the government is keen on holding conferences on copyrights, not because the situation in China is more serious, but because solving the problem has hit many roadblocks.

More than 300 illegal websites have been shut down since August, said Wang Ziqiang, an official with the National Copyright Administration.

Slower Internet connectivity may hold Britain back: regulator

December 18th, 2009

Ofcom, the official British communications regulator, has warned that Britain is lagging behind other nations in its broadband Internet speeds.

The warning comes after the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) also warned that Britain was trailing other nations in its Internet connectivity.

Ofcom’s report showed that the UK’s broadband speeds when compared with other nations were not impressive.

In the Netherlands 37 percent of households had broadband Internet connections at speeds of over 8 megabits (Mbps) a second. In Britain those speeds are available to only 10 percent of households.

Ofcom said that countries such as Sweden and France enjoyed faster access speeds than Britain.

The OECD report on Dec. 11 warned that the UK risked falling behind rivals if it did not invest in fast broadband.

SLOW NETWORK SPEED

The report put Britain just 21st out of 30 nations ranked by network speed. The OECD said in a statement on its website: “Future growth in super fast broadband is likely to come from fiber-optic networks, rather than DSL or cable. Nearly one in ten OECD subscribers currently accesses the Internet over fiber. In Japan and Korea, most people do. And fiber is growing fast in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the United States.”

“This upgrade is important because high-speed broadband networks are increasingly seen as a fundamental infrastructure for the economy, like roads, water and electricity. Telecommunication firms have been investing heavily to upgrade older copper and coax networks to fiber to accommodate our ever increasing thirst for bandwidth,” it added.

Across the world, the economic crisis has threatened to halt this investment just as consumers and businesses are using more Internet bandwidth.

However, the OECD found there is no shortage of willingness to make the most of the opportunities provided by faster Internet connections.

Over 30 percent of all British businesses sell goods or services over the Internet, the highest penetration among G7 countries. The share of e-commerce sales in total turnover is also among the highest in its area, said the OECD. And the share of broadband subscribers (29 percent in 2008) was the highest among G7 countries, it found.

Ofcom found that British businesses led their table of 12 developed nations (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, Canada, Japan, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Ireland) in taking up the Internet as an advertising platform, with 23.2 percent of advertising spent in Britain on the Internet.

Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the government’s statistical arm, showed that 18.3 million households in Britain (70 percent) had Internet access in 2009. This is an increase of just under 2 million households (11 percent) over the last year and 4 million households (28 percent) since 2006. British estimates are not available prior to 2006.

The region with the highest level of access was London, with 80percent. The region with the lowest access level was Scotland, with 62 percent.

Some 63 percent of all British households had a broadband connection in 2009, up from 56 percent in 2008. Of those households with Internet access, 90 percent had a broadband connection in 2009, an increase from 69 percent in 2006.

The number of adults who had never accessed the Internet fell to 10.2 million (21 percent) in 2009.

ACHILLES’ HEEL

But this eagerness to exploit the business opportunities of the Internet, and the high level of Internet and especially broadband penetration (95 percent of all connections are now broadband) could be an Achilles’ Heel if access speeds are not able to keep up compared with international rivals.

The lack of even basic broadband in some rural areas has sparked concern at the highest levels. Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, spoke of his concern to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “Access to the Internet is increasingly being considered a necessity. There is not a business in the country, with ambition to succeed, that does not have an email address or a website.”

“Yet still too many rural households are currently unable to access the Internet at satisfactory speeds. The handicap this places on those businesses, schools, doctors’ surgeries and local authorities, which inhabit so-called ‘broadband deserts,’ is immense,” he added.

“And, even more worryingly, many of those who are being left behind in the Internet’s ’slow lane’ are the very same people who look after the countryside on our behalf — Britain’s livestock farmers,” he stressed.

The British government has said it aims for everyone in the country to have access to the Internet broadband at speeds of 2Mbps by 2012.

The aim for 2017 is even more ambitious — to see super-fast broadband available to 90 percent of the country by the end of the year. Super fast broadband is at speeds of 50Mbps or above.

In October this year Communications Minister Stephen Timms said that the 2Mbps proposed in the government’s “Digital Britain” report was now a guaranteed minimum. The report had originally promised that the aim was to get the speed up to 2Mbps.

A new tax of 50p (about 0.81 U.S. dollars) per household with a landline per month is to provide funds for network investment.

Meanwhile, one of the global Internet business successes, Google, is one of the backers behind improved infrastructure — and it’s in the Asia-Pacific region, not Europe.

Google is part of a consortium behind the new Southeast Asia Japan Cable (SJC), the centerpiece of a 245-million-pound (about 400 million U.S. dollars) scheme that promises to be the largest capacity project yet built. Asian telecommunications companies, including Japan’s KDDI and India’s Reliance Globalcom, are joining Google in the project.

The SJC is planned to open in 2012, and will run 3,000 miles from Singapore to Japan — with branches to Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand and Guam. In total, it will consist of more than 5,000 miles of cable. The SJC will be able to handle up to 17terabits of data every second — the equivalent of around 250m telephone lines.

Writer sues Google for copyright infringement

December 16th, 2009

A Chinese female writer accusing Google China of copyright infringement has filed a lawsuit against the company in a Beijing court.

Mian Mian, a well-known Shanghai-based novelist, said the Haidian District People’s Court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the case on Dec 29.

“Google earlier argued that they didn’t violate copyright law as they only displayed a small amount of text of my book, but I think their move has seriously hurt Chinese writers’ rights,” Mian Mian told China Daily yesterday.

Mian said Google scanned her entire novel, titled Acid Lover, published by the Shanghai Joint Publishing Company, without notifying her or paying her for copyright permission.

Google China deleted Mian’s Acid Lover from their website on Nov 15.

But she said a Google key-word search still brings up passages of her book.

“This is a brutal way to introduce my literary work, because the incoherent passages seen online ruin my story,” she said.

“I also want to ask Google why they only show respect regarding copyright protection to famous American publishing houses,” Mian Mian said.

Google only scanned the cover picture of another of Mian’s novels, titled Candy, published by Little Brown Publishing House under Time Warner.

Mian asked Google to delete all texts about her book and make a public apology to her.

The author is also demanding 60,000 yuan ($8,785) for economic and mental compensation.

Sun Jingwei, Mian Mian’s lawyer from the Beijing-based Yingke Law firm, said yesterday he has prepared evidence for the case, even though the book has been deleted.

“Mian is the first Chinese writer who accuses Google for copyright in the name of herself, and the case could encourage more Chinese writers to get involved in copyright protection,” he said.

Late last month, the China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS), which protects Chinese writers’ copyrights, said Google has scanned 18,000 books by 570 Chinese writers without authorization, for its library, Google Books, which is available only to Internet users in the US.

Google agreed on Nov 20 to provide a list of Chinese books it had scanned to publish in its digital library, but the company still refused to admit having “infringed” copyright laws.

Zhang Hongbo, deputy executive director-general of the CWWCS, said Mian Mian’s lawyer informed him of the news a week ago.

“If Mian Mian wins this lawsuit, it helps our negotiations with Google,” Zhang said, noting that an individual writer suing Google should not be confused with the official negotiation.

Chen Qirongspokesman for the Chinese Writers Association (CWA), said the writer’s individual lawsuit does not contradict the official negotiation organized by CWA and CWWCS, but could work together to put more pressure on Google.

“The CWA and CWWCS is not doing enough to protect the writers’ copyrights, which should be strengthened in future,” he said.

He also said the CWA approves of and appreciates Mian Mian’s lawsuit to safeguard her interests.

Google Books has faced copyright criticism across the world.

According to earlier reports of AFP, Google and US authors and publishers reached a settlement last year over a copyright infringement suit filed against Google in 2005.

Under the settlement, the Internet search giant agreed to pay $125 million to resolve outstanding claims and establish an independent “Book Rights Registry,” which would provide revenue from sales and advertising to authors and publishers who agree to digitize their books, it reported.
