Count this is another win for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in its long time bid to make the information superhighway a fair and open place for every consumer and business entity. Just this week, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has ruled to uphold the net neutrality rules established by the FCC more than a year ago.
During the recently concluded Mobile World Congress held in the city of Barcelona in Spain, there was much talk about 5G technology and how it might shape up the mobile world in the years to come. The generation of wireless tech next to today’s 4G is said to be a hundred times faster, and even better than what Google Fiber delivers via a physical connection to homes. But a concept of an ultra fast network may still sound like a vague idea to some, so let us go through some scenarios.
Verizon Wireless has officially phased out its 25 mbps default speed for its FiOS Internet service. The Big Red has now instead upgraded it to 50 mbps at the minimum.
While other companies took the opportunity to promote their latest tech products and services during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show held in the city of Las Vegas in Nevada, AT&T looked to the future instead, talking about smart cities, connected cars, and glucose monitors that could turn into a reality in the next few years.
Both Facebook and Google are at the top of their games, with Facebook the undisputed king of social media while Google lording over the search engine arena. Now, as both companies are trying to expand beyond their respective milieus, some conflict was bound to happen as their interests begin to overlap with each other’s. Of course, as this intensifies, perhaps the first casualty would be their business relationship -- everybody knows that Facebook’s mobile app for the Android platform is currently available at the search giant’s Play Store.
The biggest social media platform in the planet is preparing to officially release the business version of itself to companies around the world. After being quietly tested for the fast few quarters, Facebook at Work is expected to be deployed in the coming months sometime next year. This was revealed by Vanessa Chan, spokesperson for Facebook, recently this week.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) found itself back in court once again in order to defend the much talked about Net Neutrality rules it started implemented in June earlier this year.
For a very long time, it has been something of a given in the United States that the download and upload speeds your internet service provider advertises to you are very far off from the actual speeds you experience while using the internet. The myriad reasons - or excuses, rather - range from limited bandwidth to accusations of a troubled computer to microwaves blocking wireless communications. Whatever the reason, the speeds promised are often cut in half if not more. And customers have lived with it because, in many cases, there is only the illusion of choice.
For several years now, Google has been attempting to turn common household things like television sets, speaker systems, and even smoke detectors into smart devices. This time around, the tech giant is turning its attention to Wi-Fi routers.
