• EE dangles students from a crane

  04-10-2018 18:44
  In order to make some kind of statement about 4G, EE suspended a small movie theatre full of students from a crane.
  The publicity stunt is being billed as the world’s first 4GEE cinema in the sky. It consisted of attaching a small stage with seats and a screen to a 100 foot crane, then getting students from the Goodwood Flying School to sit on it while it was lifted up. EE says the screening was 4G-powered, but didn’t specify how. There were popcorn-carrying drones though, so fair en

• Huawei makes a Beeline for Russian 5G

  04-10-2018 14:24
  Holographic calls have become the hot 5G use-case so Huawei teamed up with Beeline to do one in Russia.
  VimpelCom-owned Beeline rented out the Moscow Museum for this demo designed to show how great 5G is. It came soon after Vodafone tried a similar move in the UK, as the telecoms industry searches desperately for ways to capture the public imagination about a technology that, initially at least, will mainly just provide agility and efficiency to operators.

• Maybe the Chinese espionage rhetoric is more than political hot air

  The supremely geeky 802.11 brand almost certainly alienates regular punters so the decision has belated been made to change it.
  For some reason the only way we have had of differentiating generations of wifi technology to date has been to write down 802.11 and then stick some letters after it. Understandably this has failed to resonate with the mass market and therefore presumably made it difficult to offer the latest generation as a unique selling point to baffled potential router buyers.The cu

• Telco industry accuses California of violating US Constitution

  04-10-2018 12:16
  It was only going to be a matter of time, but the telco industry is taking California to court over the decision to reinstate net neutrality rules.
  While the rules prevent the telcos from making additional revenue through the creation of a two-lane communications highway, there is something bigger at stake here. In reinstating the net neutrality rules, California is not only questioning the validity of the Communications Act, the bedrock of regulations in the telco industry, but according to the
