• Sculpture to honour victims of sexual violence

  22-04-2021 16:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The serene green park in the centre of St James’s Square is currently also hosting a bronze sculpture of a mother and child, representing victims of sexual violence.
  From a distance, it looks like any modern statue might look in a park, and even looking at it won’t easily show off what it represents other than obviously a woman and child.
  It’s only when you read the small sign at the bottom that the real meaning of the horror it represents becomes clear.Called Mother and Child,

• 5G boosts results in US… for towercos, not telcos

  22-04-2021 14:22
  
  The biggest takeaway from Q1 reporting season is that in this, the 5G rollout phase, the impetus remains with the tower providers rather than the mobile operators themselves.
  Crown Castle this week boosted its full-year outlook on the back of a strong set of first-quarter numbers that showed, amongst other things, that it is benefiting from 5G deployment in its home market.
  The towers specialist’s site rental revenues – which account for well over 90% of turnover – came in at U

  Nascent US MNO Dish is the latest telecoms company to go all-in on the public cloud, entrusting Amazon Web Services to handle its entire 5G network.
  This arrangement would appear to take the telecoms/public cloud dynamic to a new level with everything to do with the Dish 5G network, including the non-hardware components of its OpenRAN radios, sitting on an AWS server. Symbolically they’re going to celebrate this unprecedented gamble by launching the Dish mobile network in Las Vegas.

• Orange mulls its Spanish predicament

  22-04-2021 13:04
  
  Orange posted a fairly solid set of first-quarter results on Thursday, all things considered, but it was hard not to notice the fly in the ointment that is its Spanish operation.
  The telco is starting to see some green shoots of recovery in a market characterised by aggressive competition, but while executives insisted it will build on this under its own steam, they foresee further consolidation in Spain and it is clear they have not ruled out being a part of that.

• London’s Pocket Parks: Artizan Street, E1

  22-04-2021 08:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  This is a deceptively simple-looking pocket park if you aren’t aware of what used to be here – it used to be an ugly car park ramp.There used to be a ramp leading up to a 1st-floor car park, but that had long been disused, so in 2014, half the ramp was removed. A narrow alley that squeezed between the ramp and the block of flats, and formed a very unappealing entrance to many people’s homes was now a much wider open area.
