Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky people suffering from High Cable TV Bills

The monthly cable bills of many of the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky customers are touching the sky from Time Warner Cable and Insight Communication Inc. Time Warner customers who watch FX and a few other channels would not be able to view those channels in the New Year.

The reason behind this mishap is Time Warner Cables is getting threatened by Fox channels that if they don’t agree to pay higher fees of as much as $1 for each subscriber. Time Warner is trying hard to fight back and is giving full page news paper advertisements where viewers can voice their opinions and help them in getting justice.

The reason for higher bills is that Time Warner which has more than 64,000 cable, internet and digital phone customers in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky said that since News Corp. is demanding more money, higher cable rates are implemented in order to get better service from the former.

Even though the prices are expected to rise the customers wont have to immediately face the consequences as they have signed up for several other services from Time Warner at the same time. Those rates are preset until the promotional date runs out.

Digital switchover stands interrupted in Italy due to the upcoming Football World Cup

Many countries of the world are finally taking the plunge and are opting for a switchover from analogue to digital transmission of television content, nationally as well as internationally. Italy is among the many nations who embarked on this venture rather zealously with only Northern Italy remaining analogue.


The Northern Italy was very much on its way to the switchover, more so because it wanted to do it before the commencement of the Football World Cup so as to enable the national viewers to enjoy watching it in a high-definition mode. But due to some bottlenecks and other discrepancy, the nationwide viewers and football lovers will after all not be able to enjoy the high definition version of these matches. The switchover was due in June, but due to regional elections and the short-term disruption of TV services, which is an unavoidable part of switchover, it will take place after the Football World Cup will be concluded.


This news also means that the boost in the sales of high definition televisions which the electronics retailers were so looking forward to on account of switchover as well as upcoming World Cup, will be dimmed because of this postponement. Let's see what the authorities do next. They surely can't postpone the regional term elections and can't afford to disrupt television services while the World Cup is on. The only option that remains is postponement of the digital switch over…but as they say…"Better late than never"!!!

At present British Telecom prides itself on its base of five million broadband customers in the UK and has plans underway to make it multi fold. This is not the first time that BT Vision has attempted innovation in the design and usage of its set top boxes. But, this is surely the first time when it thought on the lines power and energy consumption as these measures will help an individual to reduce his carbon footprint and contribute towards reducing the national annual carbon emission levels. It is hoped that the consumers will respond positively to the Vision + set top boxes.

Another beloved Google invention on an innovation spree: Android

What was developed by the Google Inc as a supporting OS for mobile and cellular technology is now being developed as a receptor for digital television signals. Yes, Android operating system will become as multifaceted as its founders are. And the initiative to develop set-top boxes and netbooks using Android was taken up by MIPS and the 'firsts' of each kind will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas, later this week. 


What is it that makes Android so innovable and beloved of technology and research giants? Simple...it's based on Linux, which means it is open source and no copyright issues will even arise over its third party use as Google only developed it to use in mobile technology. 


MIPS seeks to enable High Definition and multichannel content to be displayed on a flat panel and for this it joined hands with Western Mediabridge and Sigma Designs to innovate and adapt the Android for the visioned use. MIPS already boasts of some lucrative technology devices based on Android in its equipage among which there is the Yeelooon8089 netbook (obviously based on Android) and a prototype of Android set-top box designed by KDDI R&D Labs of Japan. 


It will showcase both of these at the Electronics Consumer Show later this week. And id things go as planned; we will soon have set top boxes with Android as the OS support system. Wonder, what the world would have been without Google!!

Dream of Digital Britain

The government has dreamt of every house to be digital by the end of 2012.But the BT has cautioned the govt. against regularizing the rule as it can cease the government and take it to the court. The govt. wants to launch the universal broadband which has access of at least 2MB a second before the London Olympics. But there are hindrances in the plan as the airwaves have to reach every rural area effectively where they are not too strong.

Lord Mandelson has received a letter from BT, raising serious objection and threatening judicial review. According to them undue advantages like subsidies for which their 3G licenses are extended. They want the govt. to be more logical in its decision.

BT spokesperson has confirmed that it has some major reservations. It has represented a gift of billion pounds from the taxpayers, which is a barrier to the innovative mobile market. They want it to be auctioned in a way that proves a fair deal for all the existing and the future prospects. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has been thinking on Meek’s plans for which the deadline is already extended upto 5th February.

The executives of the industry are also rethinking at the opposition to the new spectrum regime. According to them, think the company itself will be benefited, which will be a matter of hot discussion in the next year’s finance bill. The tax will be raised upto £175m a year. It will help to clear the pay-rolls of the future generation broadband users.

The existing fight is of the pension receivers of the fixed line connections. It depends on the future prospects will affect the masses.
