• It doesn’t matter that we don’t need it, Verizon’s throttling move is a PR disaster

  22-08-2017 18:22
  Verizon might not think it’s that big a deal to throttle data, but the ammunition it has handed competitors in the battle for 4G customers is ridiculous.
  It’s a story which has been gathering a bit of pace, but ARS Technica has reported Verizon will be changing up its unlimited plan in the very near future, as well as throttling data for everyone involved.

  22-08-2017 17:09
  A recent report from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport claims 10% of the UK’s 350 largest firms do not have a response plan in place for a cyber security incident.

• Verizon, Ericsson and Qualcomm break through gigabit speed barrier

  22-08-2017 12:38
  But before you get too carried away, the 1.07 Gbps speed trials were conducted in an Ericsson lab.
