You'll need a Google phone to use Google's wireless service by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine 9:03 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Google's ambitious mobile network that will use a combination of cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots will reportedly only work with one of the company's own smartphones. Customers itching to try Google's new hybrid wireless service will have to use the Nexus 6 Android smartphone developed by Google and Motorola, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Customers with an Apple iPhone or other Android device will not be able to use the service. Google Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai this week confirmed rumors about Google's entry into the wireless services market. Pichai said Google will be working alongside a wireless carrier to test the concept of a network that lets users seamlessly switch between cell towers and open Wi-Fi hotspots. "We are creating a backbone so we can provide connectivity," said Pichai on Monday. "We will be working with carriers around the world so they can provide services over our backbone." The Journal says Google's the wireless service could come as soon as the end of March, but delays are possible. It isn't clear if Google is planning to install new Wi-Fi hotspots in markets where the service is available in order to increase customers' connectivity options. Google has already been providing high-speed terrestrial Internet connections in several markets across the U.S. via its Google Fiber program. Google Fiber — along with Google's new wireless service, codenamed "Project Nova" — could be a move on Google's part to get existing carriers to innovate more quickly.
How the protections of net neutrality could create the next Google by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine March 2, 2015, 2:53 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons For 20 years, network neutrality — the idea that nobody controlled free open and nondiscriminatory access to the Internet — was the unwritten rule, and all Internet Service Providers, such as AT&T, Verizon VZ and Comcast CMCSA , adhered to it. Last week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formalized the non-discrimination tradition on the Internet and preserved net neutrality. This is good news to ensure that the Internet remains a free market for innovation and provides consumers with unbiased choices when it comes to content. Traditionally, telecommunications services are strictly regulated. However, despite the fact that the Internet provides digital telecommunications services, in 2004 the FCC categorized it as providing "information services." This implied 'light' regulation and prompted AT&T T in 2005 to demand payment from content and applications companies to access AT&T's customers. In return, AT&T offered to prioritize the content of whoever paid and delivered it before the content of others. For example, if Microsoft MSFT paid AT&T, AT&T would show the Bing search results to AT&T customers before the results from Google GOOG . That could result in significant distortions in the Internet search market and allow AT&T to determine the winner in that market. If the Wall Street Journal paid for prioritization but the New York Times did not, AT&T's violation of network neutrality could determine the winner in the competition among newspapers, and similarly for other markets. You might reasonably ask, why does competition not fix this problem? Why do we need regulation? The answer is simple. There is not enough competition among Internet service providers: typically, residential customers have only two providers. Additionally, it is not easy to switch providers especially because they offer bundles with other services such as telecom and video. Finally, practically all the major telecom and cable TV companies have stated that, if left unregulated, they would introduce paid prioritization and violate network neutrality. Without the protection of network neutrality, consumers will have fewer choices in content, video and telephone services carried over the Internet. But the biggest consequence would be slowing innovation. New innovative companies that "live" on the Internet rely on a level competitive playing field. While Google or Microsoft could afford an Internet tax charged by telecom and cable companies for preferential treatment, the "next Google" won't be able to afford the payments demanded by telecom and cable. One can understand the frustration of telecom and cable TV companies. Tremendous wealth is generated by information packets flowing through their lines, but most of that "Internet gold" flows right past them to content providers and consumers. Even worse, traditional phone services are provided through the Internet by Voice-Over-The Internet services and Skype, and bandwidth-heavy television shows can be downloaded over the Internet. These services directly compete with telecom and cable TV companies and give incentives to them to slow down competing services. Here, strict network neutrality regulation ensures competition is on equal footing. Violation of network neutrality would allow telecom and cable TV companies to defend their products and profits more effectively. But the discrimination these companies proposed in violation of network neutrality would have been devastating for innovation and choice. So kudos to the FCC for protecting consumers and innovation.

Google has a plan to revolutionize your cell phone service by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine March 2, 2015, 12:51 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Google confirmed Monday that it's moving into the wireless phone business, unveiling an ambitious plan to launch a mobile network using a combination of cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots. Phones on the new network will be able to switch seamlessly between cell towers and Wi-Fi connections, Google SVP Sundar Pichai told an audience at a Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona, Spain. Google will rely on existing carriers' infrastructure for the cellular side of the network, codenamed "Project Nova." "We are creating a backbone so we can provide connectivity," said Pichai at the event. "We will be working with carriers around the world so they can provide services over our backbone." Any plan to supplement cellular service with Wi-Fi networks will have to contend with the reality that many Wi-Fi hotspots are private. Google already offers free hotspot access in several cities like New York and San Francisco, but it's unclear if the company will expand these offerings. One Long Island-based ISP, Cablevision, recently launched a Wi-Fi-only phone plan that relies on the company's extensive hotspot access rather than a cellular network. The Project Nova news comes days after Google unveiled plans for a futuristic campus for its employees. Google has also been expanding its role as an Internet Service Provider though its high-speed landline Google Fiber service and with experimental aircraft-based connectivity.
Reactions to FCC's net neutrality vote: Celebrations, legal threats and Morse code by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine February 26, 2015, 7:25 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The Federal Communication Commission voted Thursday to enact new net neutrality rules that give the commission oversight of the Internet in an effort to ensure a level playing field on the web. But if anyone needed proof that the debate over net neutrality and government regulation of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) is far from over, they needed only to look at the wide range of responses to the FCC's Thursday vote. Companies, industry groups, politicians and even the White House weighed in with their (differing) views on the new FCC rules and where things should go from here. Not Happy: Not surprisingly, big telecommunications companies and cable providers are not happy about the new FCC rules. Even before the vote took place, AT&T T warned of a possible federal lawsuit challenging the new rules. Jim Cicconi, AT&T's head of public policy, wrote a blog post following Thursday's vote in which he hinted that the FCC has a fight on its hand. He noted that the commission's 3-2 decision — with three Democrats defeating two Republicans — "is an invitation to revisiting the decision, over and over and over." Cicconi wrote about a likely court battle as well as the possibility that the FCC could vote against the new rules in the future, should the political makeup of the commission change. "Partisan decisions taken on 3-2 votes can be undone on similarly partisan 3-2 votes only two years hence," Cicconi wrote. "And FCC decisions made without clear authorization by Congress (and who can honestly argue Congress intended this?) can be undone quickly by Congress or the courts." Verizon VZ , which could join AT&T's legal fight against the new FCC rules, also weighed in following the vote, though the company adopted more of a mocking tone. The telecom giant actually went through the trouble of issuing a statement written in Morse code and titled "FCC's 'Throwback Thursday' Move Imposes 1930s Rules on the Internet." In a translated version of Verizon's statement, the company chided the FCC for deciding "to change the way the commercial Internet has operated since its creation." In its own statement, Comcast said it supports the principles of an open Internet, but disagrees with the FCC's decision to reclassify ISPs under Title II of the Communications Act — a move that allows for stricter government regulation of the Internet. A post written by Comcast CMCSA executive vice president David Cohen reads: "We fully embrace the open Internet principles that have been laid out by President Obama and Chairman Wheeler and that now have been adopted by the FCC. We just don't believe statutory provisions designed for the telephone industry and adopted when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president should be stretched to govern the 21stcentury Internet." Various groups representing the telecommunications and cable industries also voiced their disapproval, including the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, Broadband for America, and CTIA – The Wireless Association. The U.S. Telecom Association also agreed with the FCC's adoption of open Internet standards, but lashed out at the commission for its reclassification of ISPs. The association said in a statement that it "will now turn to the courts for review," while also promising to work with Congress in the hopes of finding a bipartisan solution. Republican politicians also spoke out against the FCC decision Thursday. In a letter signed by more than 20 Republican members of Congress, the lawmakers claimed that the new FCC rules "threaten the future viability of the Internet and America's ability to compete in the global technology marketplace." The lawmakers also promised to "not stand by idly." "We plan to support and urge our colleagues to pass a Congressional Review Act resolution disapproving the 'Open Internet' rules," the letter said. "Not only will such a resolution nullify the 'Open Internet' rules, the resolution will prevent the FCC from relying on Title II for any future net neutrality rules unless Congress explicitly instructs the FCC to take such action." Happy: President Obama, who came out in full support of strict new net neutrality rules last fall, applauded the FCC for voting in the new standards Thursday. The president tweeted to express support for the FCC's decision: The @FCC just voted to keep the internet open & free. That's the power of millions making their voices heard. Thank you! #NetNeutrality -bo — The White House (@WhiteHouse) February 26, 2015 Obama later issued a statement thanking the more than 4 million people who participated in an open comments period last year to voice their support of "a free and fair Internet." Meanwhile, Netflix, which has also been a vocal proponent of stronger net neutrality rules, issued a statement calling today's vote a win for consumers. "The net neutrality debate is about who picks winners and losers online: Internet service providers or consumers. Today, the FCC settled it: Consumers win," Netflix said. "Today's order is a meaningful step towards ensuring ISPs cannot shift bad conduct upstream to where they interconnect with content providers like Netflix. Net neutrality rules are only as strong as their weakest link, and it's incumbent on the FCC to ensure these interconnection points aren't used to end-run the principles of an open Internet." In a blog post, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian praised his social websites users, whom he said helped to raise public awareness around net neutrality through a campaign to comment on the FCC's proposed Internet rules. In this case, he wrote, "the Internet rallied to create something that would protect our open Internet." Other Democratic politicians also took to Twitter TWTR their support for the FCC's new rules: I support the FCC's decision to adopt strong net neutrality rules, and I'll work to preserve them. — Senator Harry Reid (@SenatorReid) February 26, 2015 An #OpenInternet spurs innovation, communication & economic growth.

An open Internet: how new regulations hurt both sides of the debate by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine February 18, 2015, 10:15 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Later this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to vote on new open Internet rules, bringing the decade-long debate over network neutrality and the future of the Internet to a key turning point. Although the FCC's proposal is intended to protect content providers, such as Netflix NFLX , against potential anticompetitive actions of Internet Service Providers, such as Comcast, a closer look reveals that it creates risks for both sides. One of the most distinctive aspects about U.S. Internet policy is the decision not to impose old regulatory burdens on this new technology. The U.S. was one of the few countries not to reflexively regulate the Internet like the nation's century-old telephone system, which essentially operated like a monopoly. The result was to facilitate a vibrant new industry offering a torrent of new applications and services on advanced networks that are the envy of the rest of the world.Furthermore, among all U.S. companies, network providers have led the way in creating jobs and investing in America's future. In fact, two leading Internet service providers, AT&T T and Verizon VZ , outpaced all other U.S. nonfinancial companies in capital spending over the past several years, and a third network provider, Comcast CMCSA , placed seventh, according to a 2014 report by the Progressive Policy Institute. Together, the broadband industry has created more than 860,000 jobs. For comparison, European broadband providers, who are subject to telephone-style regulation, have invested less than half as much per household as their American counterparts. Statistical analysis finds a significant correlation between these low investment levels and regulation. The FCC's proposals would break with this tradition; it would reclassify consumer broadband Internet as a utility, banning Internet Service Providers from charging content providers for better service. The risks for network providers are apparent. The effect of telephone-style regulation would be to limit the packages that networks can offer and threaten providers that deviate from the status quo with possible fines. For example, it would endanger popular new plans such as T-Mobile's Music Freedom, which allows customers to stream music without counting that traffic against their data caps. The imposition of such intrusive government oversight would mark a return to command-and-control style regulation that has long been discredited and would impede the spirit of flexibility and innovation that has characterized the Internet since its inception. It would also potentially open the door to another layer of regulation by the states. Although the FCC has promised to "forbear" from enforcing certain aspects of telephone-style regulation on the Internet, the agency has yet to develop a coherent framework to guide the exercise of this authority. Moreover, any such forbearance would be a product of bureaucratic largesse and would be subject to reversal at any time. The uncertainty created by such an environment would threaten to dampen incentives to innovate and invest. What is less widely recognized is the risks that such regulations would pose for providers of content and applications, the supposed beneficiaries of open Internet rules. For example, the privacy restrictions that apply to telephone networks (which were developed for a different context and are widely regarded as outdated) may undermine the business models on which many Internet applications are based. In addition, although the FCC does not plan to tax broadband access at this time, it reserves the right to do so in the future. As customers continue to abandon the fixed-line telephone service that currently supports the universal service fund, the pressure to do so will likely become irresistible. Furthermore, while previous rules only restricted how traffic was handled within a network, the new rules would extend regulation to equalize how traffic is handled between networks. This would impose unprecedented bureaucratic oversight on the more than 45,000 networks comprising the Internet, which currently interconnect through bilateral commercial agreements. Parties who think they could get a better deal through regulation than through bargaining will be tempted to hold out. Moreover, network providers may hesitate to extend better terms out of fear that those terms will become a benchmark that will limit all future negotiations. Finally, supporters of the current proposal must face the danger that the prohibitions on discrimination that they so desire may be rolled back in the future. The last two attempts to enforce network neutrality were overturned by the courts for exceeding the authority that Congress had granted the FCC. The current rules bear considerable risk of suffering the same fate. In addition, a future FCC under a different Administration could simply reverse the rules, and the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that no legal barriers would prevent them from doing so. Thus, even those who favor the FCC's proposed rules must acknowledge the risk that the current efforts may prove to be ephemeral. The rules would be made permanent and all uncertainty about regulatory authority would be eliminated if Congress were to enact compromise legislation establishing network neutrality rules. Several such bills have already been submitted, and the sponsors of those proposals have indicated their willingness to negotiate. For opponents of network neutrality, legislation would eliminate the overhanging threat of the hydraulic expansion of regulation sometime in the future. For supporters, enactment of such a law would ensure the rules could not be reversed by judicial challenge or a subsequent FCC. The best outcome would thus be for every part of the Internet industry to work together to find common ground. The leaders of both political parties have the chance to act like statesmen and take steps to ensure that the vibrant atmosphere that has promoted innovation and investment so effectively can continue to thrive. We can only hope that they seize the opportunity. Christopher S. Yoo is the John H. Chestnut Professor of Law, Communication, and Computer & Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Verizon to sell wireline operations and towers worth over $15 billion by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine February 5, 2015, 5:02 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons (Reuters) – Verizon Communications will sell wireline assets to FrontierCommunications Corp for $10.54 billion in cash and cell phone towers worth over $5 billion to American Tower Corp, the company said on Thursday. The assets being sold to Frontier and American Tower are the latest in a series of non-core assets that Verizon has sold in recent months to reduce debt and raise cash for investments. The Frontier deal is expected to close in the first half of next year and is subject to regulatory approval, Verizon said. Frontier will acquire Verizon's local wireline operations in California, Florida and Texas, including 3.7 million voice connections, 1.2 million FiOS video connections and 2.2 million broadband connections, Verizon said. The company said it will lease over 11,000 towers and sell 165 towers worth $5.06 billion to Boston-based American Tower. Moreover, Verizon on Thursday announced plans to buyback shares worth $5 billion. The largest U.S. carrier by subscribers, Verizon purchased 181 licenses worth $10.4 billion in a government sale of wireless airwaves for mobile data that closed last week. That came on top of $130 billion it spent in 2013 to buy from Vodafone the 45 percent in its wireless unit that it did not already own. Verizon has been exploring steps to speed up its debt repayment. Executives have said that divesting assets could help Verizon repurchase some shares it issued after it announced the Vodafone deal. The company has been investing heavily in growing its wireless business while reducing spend on its broadbandInternet and telephone services. Frontier did a similar deal in 2009, when Verizon sold 4.8 million rural phone lines to Frontier for $8.6 billion in stock and cash. Shares in Frontier FTR soared over 8.5 percent after closing at $7.70 in trading after market close on Thursday. Shares in Verizon VZ and American Tower were relatively unchanged after closing at $47.86 and $99.59 respectively. (This story was updated with additional information)
Happy about net neutrality? Why you might want to thank Verizon by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine February 5, 2015, 4:56 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Haley Sweetland Edwards, TIME To the millions of Americans who wrote passionate letters to the Federal Communications Commission last year arguing that it should ensure the Internet isn't divided into "fast lanes" and "slow lanes," Verizon VZ is the enemy. Or one of the enemies, at least. But after the FCC promised this week to use the strongest possible tools to protect "net neutrality," those passionate emailers may want to take a moment to quietly thank—wait for it—Verizon. As it turns out, a long-ago strategic misstep by the telecom company set the FCC on the path to this week's historic decision—one it might have avoided if Verizon had not done what it did. Here's how it went down. Four years ago, in 2011, the FCC proposed a set of net neutrality rules that were, in retrospect, pretty industry-friendly. They stipulated that Internet service providers (ISPs) couldn't do things like block, throttle, or reduce the quality of certain data passing over the last mile of their networks. But they left wide open the possibility that ISPs could charge certain web companies a premium fee—known as a "paid prioritization agreement" or an Internet "fast lane"—for special treatment on the backend of an ISP's network. In other words, according to those old rules, it was perfectly legal for Comcast CMCSK to charge Netflix NFLX to deliver Netflix videos to Comcast customers more quickly. (The rules said that the FCC would monitor paid prioritization agreements to make sure they were "reasonable," but what exactly "reasonable" meant in that context was never clear.) The cable and telecom industry responded to those old rules in two different ways. Comcast, for its part, was in favor of them. That's perhaps because it was, at the time, working hard to persuade the Department of Justice to approve its enormous, unprecedented merger with NBC Universal. Lawmakers and government officials had expressed concern over the fact the biggest cable and broadband Internet provider in the country was about to own one of the biggest TV producers in the country, and Comcast was doing everything it could to convince them that there was nothing to worry about. To underscore its point, Comcast embraced the FCC's rules, running TV and newspaper ads in celebration of net neutrality, and promised to adhere by them, no matter what, for eight years. Meanwhile, others in the industry—ahem, Verizon—were less enthused. They thought the FCC's rules were unfair and overly burdensome, and so decided to sue the Commission in an effort to get them overturned. Verizon's argument centered on a tiny, but powerful, detail buried in the annals of administrative law: the FCC, Verizon's lawyers argued, did not have the statutory authority to regulate broadband Internet because it classified broadband Internet as a "information service" rather than a "telecommunications service." In January 2014, a federal appeals court judge sided with Verizon. It was true, the judge wrote, that the FCC didn't currently have statutory authority to regulate broadband Internet. But, he added, it could get that authority really easily: all it had to do was vote to reclassify broadband Internet as a "telecommunication service." Simple as that. The legal instructions were clear. But it didn't happen right away. Some have suggested that's perhaps because FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, a businessman and a former telecom lobbyist, wasn't particularly comfortable with the idea of reclassifying broadband, although he left the option on the table. One problem was that the move would give the FCC many more regulatory powers than it actually needed to protect net neutrality. (For example, reclassifying broadband as a "telecommunication service" technically gives the FCC the power to control how much ISPs can charge customers. The FCC wouldn't be required to use that power—and Wheeler has promised repeatedly that it won't—but it could.) Eventually, over the course of last year, the politics became non-negotiable. In August, a record-breaking four million people wrote into the FCC, the vast majority of whom complained about the Commission's proposed net neutrality rules and demanded that they be strengthened. In November, President Obama, citing those millions of letters, called for the FCC to step up and reclassify broadband already. And voilà. Here we are today. But the drama's not over quite yet. Companies like AT&T and Verizon have already all but promised to sue the FCC the moment it releases its next set of net neutrality rules, which it will vote on Feb. 26. What's that mean exactly? We don't know yet. In all likelihood, the cable and telecom industry will, as it did before, make an argument that hinges on some tiny, but powerful administrative detail. And with millions of dollars and thousands of lawyers at its disposal, it's got a good shot of winning that case, too. In other words, the epic war over net neutrality ain't over yet. The Open Internet advocates haven't won. But neither has the cable and telecom industry. The real winners are the communications lawyers and lobbyists in Washington, D.C., who can expect lucrative employment from here to the horizon. Buckle up, folks, you're about to get rich.
FCC chair reveals details of net neutrality proposal by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine February 4, 2015, 12:20 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The push for net neutrality took another step forward Wednesday when FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler confirmed his plans to put forth "the strongest open internet protections ever proposed" by the independent agency. "After more than a decade of debate and a record-setting proceeding that attracted nearly 4 million public comments, the time to settle the Net Neutrality question has arrived," the FCC chair wrote in an op-ed published online by Wired. Wheeler promised he will submit a proposal this week for new FCC rules that would ban paid prioritization on both wired and mobile networks. The rules would ensure Internet service providers (ISPs) are prohibited from blocking any lawful Internet content or creating so-called Internet fast-lanes that allow certain companies and websites to pay for faster delivery of their content. "The internet must be fast, fair and open," Wheeler wrote. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Wheeler planned to propose that the FCC reclassify high-speed Internet service as a telecommunications service, rather than an information service, under Title II of the Communications Act. Those reports noted that the FCC would likely vote on the proposed rules on February 26. Last year, a federal appeals court ruled that such a step would be necessary if the FCC wanted to treat ISPs more like public utilities, subjecting them to stricter regulation. Wheeler's op-ed did not specifically refer to reclassification of ISPs, but the chairman did write that his proposal would ask the FCC to "use its Title II authority to implement and enforce open Internet protections." Last year, the FCC chair also proposed a plan to side-step the reclassification issue by allowing cable companies and telecoms to negotiate contracts with content providers such as Netflix that would provide faster streaming speeds so long as the deals were "commercially reasonable." Netflix NFLX did begrudgingly (it claimed) enter into several such pacts with providers such as Comcast and Verizon, but the arrangements drew heavy criticism from proponents of an open Internet. Millions of people used a public comments period last year to bash Wheeler's initial proposal and President Barack Obama even weighed in last fall to publicly urge the FCC to adopt the "strongest possible rules" to enforce net neutrality by regulating broadband providers more like public utilities. Wheeler wrote on Wednesday that his new proposal takes into account "public input received over the last several months" as well as his own understanding of FCC regulations and the industry. And, while net neutrality opponents have argued that stricter regulation of broadband providers could impair growth and innovation, Wheeler wrote in his op-ed that it is possible to maintain an open Internet while also allowing for the growth of broadband networks. Wheeler wrote that his proposal would "modernize Title II" and would not include strict oversight of pricing as well as "no tariffs, no last-mile unbundling." Even as Wheeler's op-ed made the Internet rounds Wednesday afternoon, stocks of cable and satellite Internet providers remained strong. Shares of cable companies Comcast CMCSA , Time Warner Cable TWC and Verizon VZ were all up in recent trading, as were shares of satellite providers Dish Network DISH and DirecTV DTV .
AT&T top buyer at U.S. airwaves auction; Verizon, Dish spend big by Benjamin Snyder @FortuneMagazine January 30, 2015, 6:12 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons (REUTERS) — AT&T Inc spent close to half the total in the record-setting U.S. sale of airwaves for mobile data, with Verizon Communications Inc and bidding partners of Dish Network Corp also spending heavily, results showed on Friday. AT&T T bid a total of $18.2 billion to win licenses of so-called AWS-3 spectrum; Verizon VZ bid $10.4 billion and T-Mobile US Inc TMUS bid $1.8 billion, according to the results released by the Federal Communications Commission. The record $44.9 billion auction, which ended on Thursday, demonstrated the voracious appetite of wireless carriers and other companies for spectrum, which has become a prized commodity as companies race to satisfy the growing consumer demand to stream video and other data-guzzling content. Dish DISH itself did not win any licenses, but it had joint bidding agreements with SNR Wireless LicenseCo LLC and Northstar Wireless LLC, in which it has indirect ownership interests. Those two companies bid a total of $13.3 billion, but had applied to receive a discount as small-business entities, bringing their net bid amount to $10 billion. As biggest bidders, AT&T, Dish's partners and Verizon snapped up airwaves in some of the most coveted and expensive markets, such as New York and California. Dish's bidding significantly exceeded expectations, said MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett, adding that it put a damper on the investors' hypothesis that the satellite company had expected to turn around and sell the newly acquired airwaves to Verizon or another buyer. Dish's shares fell 1.2 percent in afternoon trading, to $72.57. Verizon and AT&T bid less than what some analysts had estimated. Verizon shares were relatively unchanged at $46.42 and AT&T shares were up 1.2 percent at $33.36. Dish acknowledged in a statement it had invested in two entities that participated in the auction but did not further explain its plans, citing FCC anti-collusion rules. Verizon said in a statement it bought a total of 181 licenses that cover markets reaching 61 percent of the United States. AT&T was awarded 251 licenses, while T-Mobile bagged 151 licenses. AT&T's debt leverage may rise given its AWS-3 spectrum investment, it said in a statement. "The company will use excess cash – after paying its dividend – over the next three years to pay down debt, and expects to return to historical debt ratios," it added.

The article below was originally published at Money.com By Jacob Davidson, MONEY According to a report in Bloomberg News, Verizon VZ has approached Aol Aol with an interest in either pursuing a joint venture or acquiring the company outright. This might come as a surprise to anyone who remembers Aol for what it used to be: namely, a dotcom-era dinosaur that depended on dial-up subscribers to keep the lights on. Why would Verizon want anything to do with that? Resurgence Aol has gradually become a completely different company since welcoming CEO Tim Armstrong in 2009. Since then, Armstrong has turned Aol into one of the most successful advertising technology companies on the planet. Aol Platforms, the company's advertising wing, made $271 million in revenue during the third quarter of 2014—a 44% year-over-year increase in revenue. That's the kind of growth one expects from the next hot startup, not a business founded more than 30 years ago. Platforms is still slightly in the red, and the company currently makes more profit from subscribers and its media holdings, which include The Huffington Post, Engadget, and TechCrunch. But that's expected to change rapidly as Aol's advertising business continues to expand and press its advantage over competitors in the ad tech game. The best ad tech in town As Brian Pitz, an analyst at Jefferies covering Aol, previously told MONEY, Aol is one of very few "one-stop shops" for all advertising needs. The company's offerings include analytics, tools for sellers, tools for buyers, and a number of other services, all in one place. In doing so, Aol saves marketers and publishers money by cutting out what it calls the "technology tax"—the extra money both sides pay for using various middlemen to accomplish the same tasks. Aol is "a fully integrated [advertising] platform," Pitz says. "The only other company that has that is Google." Verizon's interest Verizon has previously expressed interest in launching a digital video service, possibly as soon as mid-2015, and there's no question Aol's advertising prowess could be of use in that endeavor. Aol has consistently been a top performer in video advertising, with the company's ads reaching 53.8% of the U.S. population, according to a November comScore report. Bloomberg's Alex Sherman notes that Verizon has also been been in talks with other ad technology companies, including Yahoo. Investors have been urging Yahoo for months to merge with Aol, primarily because of Aol's ad technology business. While advertising technology, particularly for mobile video, is the key driver of Verizon's interest, Sherman also speculated that the ISP could convert some of Aol's remaining dial-up subscribers to its own internet service through a full acquisition.

That broader perspective may not be completely unpromising from the viewpoint of those who desire peace honourably.

Radio Ramone - Testify
Artist: Radio Ramone
Producer: Mr. Kooman
Album: Therapy Sessions
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 12 votes )
Once the sole domain of major cities like New York and Los Angeles, over the last decade hip-hop fans have learned that dope music can come from anywhere, including a city known more for its bright lights than beats and rhymes, Las Vegas. The next emcee to build Sin City's burgeoning reputation is Radio Ramone, a young, ambitious and undeniably talented emcee making his DJBooth debut today with Testify, an appropriately soulful hip-hop testimonial to the power of the mic. While a slowly hitting beat from producer Mr. Kooman loops in the background, Ramone wastes no time showing the world the depth of his lyrical ability: "I am talkin bout fact while they talk about shinin', if you bright than I'm an eclipse." With lines like that it's only a matter of time before Las Vegas becomes one of the nation's gambling
hip-hop capitols. Testify is the lead single off Radio Ramone's debut mixtape Therapy Sessions, dropping Friday, January 15 on RefinedHype.com.

A very busy two days they have been but I promised I'd fill you in when I had time to talk about it -- so I have some time before church this morning to do just that. I left at 6:30 a.m. on Friday morning, arriving early because I forgot that it was Veteran's Day and there would be no rush hour. Class went great -- what a phenomenal bunch of women and a guy. Love being with them as they are bright, experienced, and have great insights to share. Some of the things we come up with as a group are nothing less than brilliant. As soon as I was done teaching at 4 I got in the van and drove ninety minutes to meet Bart who was delivering Jimmy, Tony and Wilson to me to come with me to this weekend's speaking engagement and stay with the friends we visited in August. Leon started his job yesterday at the grocery store, so he could come with us which was disappointing to me. WE drove to the hotel in Des Moines, spent the night, and then drove into the Quad Cities around noon to have lunch. We then headed over to see Danielle's brand new baby, born on Tuesday. It was so fun holding her -- tiny and perfect, their third. I first met Danielle when she was eight so it is so fun seeing her as a mom and the beautiful woman that she is now. Jimmy then headed with me to do the Adoption Forum using the Prezi that you see here. It's just my outline, but isn't the technology great! So much better than a Powerpoint. And for all you people who are like Bart out there, I know that it should be its and not it's, but I can't figure out how to change it and it's only in the title not in the presentation. And for those of you who are really concerned about what I present -- my twist on the word rescuing was much different than you might imagine. I talked about how often we head into adoption thinking we are rescuing kids, but often God uses the process to rescue us from our former selves. And oh yeah, one more thing, the focus of the next to last section is the belt buckle in case any of your minds went elsewhere. We didn't finish until about 9 last night with the forum at Heritage Church, but it was a great event.... Good nights sleep and now we are up and heading for church. Driving back the 7 hours tomorrow as I'm just way too tired to put in 7 hours tonight. I'm getting a bit too old and unhealthy for some of the things I used to do in the past. But I love talking to people about adoption knowing that each time I do I might have a part in seeing a child -- either in another country or here in the U.S. find a home. It remains my passion and they can't all fit into my home. :-) |

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen13 from Fantastic buy! I bought these about two years ago and they are amazing multi-taskers. They function as mixing bowls on regular work nights and work as serving bowls on weekends. They also work great as for portion controls-the smallest one is great for a before dinner snack. They have held up well despite my husband and my constant abuse-we throw them in the dishwasher (top and bottom racks) and can be pretty rough with restacking them. I am so glad I bought these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OneOldTruck from Any need - You have a bowl for that! They were on sale, so I got some, and I'm very glad I did. So many sizes, so many uses, I got rid of an entire stack of mismatched, ill fitting bowls for these little beauties. The bottoms are a bit flatter than typical bowls which is a nice feature most of the time. I use them for serving, for preparing, and for storing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Shopper from Great multifunctional bowls I bought these bowls when I decided to get rid of all the plastics in my house. I love that there is a size for any and all my baking, cooking, serving needs. Also love that they nest together since I have limited kitchen storage space. I haven't had any chip yet, but I do often hand wash them, just in case.

Rated 4 out of 5 by britt from Love the look I bought these bowls awhile ago, and I have been using them with caution after reading the other reviews. I love how these bowls look and I love the variety in sizes as well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Danielle from Great set of bowls Versatile - I use these daily. Great for mise en place prep before cooking. Use as serving bowls in a pinch. Quality wasn't what I would have expected from C&B (imperfections in the glass), hence the average rating.

Mobile app player remember where it left off?
Is it possible for the mobile app player to remember the point in the song where it was left off? For example in a 20 or 30minute mix and some logs off the app 15minutes through the mix is it possible for them to come back to the mix where they left off? This would be a great add on.

Running an online poll might not seem like a particularly subversive act. But here in Hong Kong, professor Robert Chung has been called a "hateful western-trained dog," full of "evil intentions" and worse for doing just that.
In Hong Kong, citizens are denied a vote in the city's current race for Chief Executive, which will be decided on March 25 by a 1,200-member strong committee of business leaders and politicos. This year before that decision is made, though, Dr. Chung wants Hong Kongers to have a chance to speak their minds.
Traditionally, the race for Hong Kong's top job has been yawn-inducing: in three out of four previous chief executive contests, there was only one candidate. This year's election, though, has seen mud-slinging, salacious campaign scandals and more.
In the midst of this unusual campaign excitement, Dr. Chung plans to host a citywide referendum on the candidates, just two days before the election committee makes its choice. On March 23, Hong Kongers will be able to vote online, through a smartphone app and at in-town polling stations to weigh in on their choice. Earlier this month, Dr. Chung — who heads University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme — announced that he would begin fundraising and his efforts have so far raised HK$578,000 (US$75,000).
Two anonymous donors, he says, have given a combined total of HK$250,000 (US$32,000). But small-scale donors have been the norm: among the 450-odd donors who've so far stepped forward, he says, the average donation is HK$100 (or US$13).
"It shows a lot of people on the street really do support us," says Dr. Chung. "With all these criticisms of our work, we thought maybe some people would be scared off, but it seems that in the last two weeks, a lot of people have come forward to say, 'This is very important.'"
The money they've raised, he says, is enough for the referendum to proceed and even to expand in scope, with elementary and secondary schools being offered the chance to participate as well. Already, he says, students from the University of Hong Kong have recruited 200 volunteers to help run the polls on the day of the referendum. Meanwhile, he says, the smartphone app enabling Hong Kongers to vote should be available within the coming week and a half.
Dr. Chung's activities (he's been conducting Hong Kong opinion polls since the 1990s) have long made Beijing grimace: A poll he conducted last December, for example, found Hong Kong's levels of identification with mainland China had dropped to a 12-year low. In the firestorm of controversy that erupted over the poll, local pro-Beijing papers charged Dr. Chung with being a political schemer, guilty of fraternizing with a British spy — an especially loaded charge in light of Hong Kong's colonial past.
Still, says Dr. Chung, in recent weeks he "hasn't seen a strong reaction" from Beijing authorities. "Maybe it's because if you look at the election itself, lots of unforeseen events are happening — maybe they are busier than we are," he suggests, a gentle jab at how the campaign of Beijing's favored candidate, Henry Tang, has imploded in recent weeks. The poll's results will only be representative of those Hong Kongers who actively choose to participate, but observers are watching it with keen interest, especially given how public approval ratings for Tang — who also has the support of Hong Kong's business class — have hovered around 16% in the past week.
In any case, he says he is not scared about what mainland authorities can do to him or his reputation. "Hong Kong is still a free society. We have rule of law. In terms of my own personal security, I still have faith in Hong Kong. I will not be vaporized that easily," he says.

What do the flashing verticle bars by the center mean? |
Jul 11, 2012, 11:29 PM | |||
Current batch graphic boards (version 5.1) are not compatible with previous version. I think Vova does not have the version 5 graph boards available anymore.
We had to do this because we needed to change the accelerometer chip(is out of production now), and it was moved to the main board. So new graphic boards do not have accelerometer. The good thing is that the new accelerometer also have a magnetometer. The bad thing is that it is not used yet on the current firmware. Current 5.1 version is shipped with a new firmware that does have some upgrades related to the old version. This upgrades are: -10% Increased OSD vertical resolution. -New optional more complex AHI display. -Camera stabilization, this needs some soldering. -Added loiter radius option for RTH. -Added airspeed support. -Added PC configuration commands so all menu settings can be done via computer also. The PC side is done by Pascal http://calou.favier.free.fr/ -Temperature display can be selected to External, Internal, Both or Off -Line of sight distance will change to km or miles if greater than 1000 meters or feets. -Fixed a bug that prevented the use of dual combined PPM Rx diversity, for use of RVOSD with two CPPM receivers. -Another improvement to the inertial unit accuracy. The G5 and G5 upgraded units can work with this firmware also, but I am still debating if I should release this firmware as it is, or add more new stuff I am working now before releasing a new update. I have a list of users requests that I want to please and after this upgrade release I am sure my work on the support side will increase. At this moment things are going quiet on the support side, which give me some peace to work on the programming and testing. This was my latest video while testing the changes made to the inertial unit.

As part of the UTM campus tour, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne visited CPS first year Chemistry undergrad teaching lab and participated in a lab demonstration led by teaching assistant George Li.
Welcome Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences (CPS) at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM). CPS is an interdisciplinary science department which was formed in 2003 through merging four previously separate departments: Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy and Earth Sciences. We offer undergraduate programs in all four areas, including specializations in Biological Chemistry, Biomedical Physics, Astronomical Science and Environmental Geoscience. Our students have access to new, state-of-the-art teaching laboratories and are involved in cutting-edge research projects in our research labs. Student enrolments in CPS courses and programs have grown tremendously, mirroring the doubling in size of the student body at the Mississauga campus over the last decade. Our department is home to 21 full-time faculty, including award-winning educators and researchers, who supervise a total of 70 graduate students and 20 postdocs in the CPS research labs. About 40% of the faculty have been hired in the last 10 years, the result of a recruitment and renewal drive that is still ongoing. If you are interested in pursuing a career in physical sciences or if you are just curious about science in general, we are here to help. For more specific information about the Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences at UTM and what we have to offer, please browse our site and contact us.

Have you seen the TV commercial for Pizza Hut that refers to year 1994? I'll bet they've been waiting, like, 20 years to show that commercial! Okay, that was lame – but the commercial itself and the reason for it are definitely not lame. Pizza Hut is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the world's first online order – a large pepperoni, mushroom and extra cheese pizza through a proprietary system known as PizzaNet! Who knew this would be the beginning of e-commerce?
E-commerce and the Internet have certainly come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. Although people could order pizzas through the Internet in 1994, they would still have to wait for more than a year before Amazon.com arrived online. "We want to celebrate the fact that before consumers could buy books, clothes, music or vacation packages via the internet, they could place an online order for a Pizza Hut pizza," said Carrie Walsh, chief marketing officer at Pizza Hut. Definitely a reason to celebrate, in my opinion. Now you can order pretty much anything and everything online as long as you have Internet access, a bank account or credit card, and a mailing address.
Let's go back twenty years now, to 1994. If you are old enough to remember then you probably recall using a much different Internet than the one we know today.
I hold the opinion that we enjoyed a kinder, gentler Internet, in 1994.
- Since the Internet was primarily text, it was definitely simple and boring when compared to what we know and take for granted today. But it was still fun and exciting for some of us because it was so new!
- SEO wasn't an issue, because no one cared about keywords or where their page ranked.
- Social media existed mainly in the form of emails, chat rooms and telephone calls.
- Connections were slow and Wi-Fi was a fantasy.
Speaking of fantasies, I remember connecting through dial-up and spending hours chatting on AOL and pretending to be a sexy redhead named Artemis on a MOO (a text-based online virtual reality system to which multiple users (players) are connected at the same time) with virtual friends from all over the world. I also remember being perfectly happy with a substandard modem and slow connection speeds which would now force me to pull out my hair in frustration.
- The "@" was still foreign to many of us, and hashtags were still found on phones which were plugged into walls.
- People could "surf the web" using Yahoo, but not Google – this now popular search engine was still two years from launching.
I really don't miss the 1994 Internet, but I do appreciate how I was around to see and participate in the beginnings of "the world's largest computer network and the nearest thing to a working prototype of the information superhighway."
The Internet, e-commerce, social media and search all continue to evolve.
Who knows what the next 20 years will bring, but I do know one thing: I am happy to be along for the ride.
What do you remember about the Internet in 1994 and what do you expect to see in the next 20 years? I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment below or tweet me @jplussocial anytime!

I got a free AOL 3.5″ disc (they mailed them out all of the time) and installed it on my PC and thought it was the most amazing thing in the world, but confusing as AOL always wanted you to use their content and getting outside of that could be hard. Interesting article.
January 13, 2014Jennifer G. Hanford
Thanks, Mike. I remember those 3.5 discs – it seems like only yesterday when we were able to install those. Thanks for your comments! ~ Jenn
