Digit news - Marvell chips speed mobile Web browsing:
Marvell acquired the Xscale series of processors from Intel and the new range PXA 300, PXA 310 and PXA 320 chips are the first fruits of the acquisition.
They are designed to be used in mobile devices where computing power is needed, but also good power consumption - they can adjust their processing speed as required.
The PXA 300 is designed for low cost applications, the 310 for numeric applications and the 320 for video.
They can run up to 1.2GHz, though current versions run at 800MHz.

Digit news - AMD debuts four-core "4x4" motherboard
Digit news - AMD debuts four-core "4x4" motherboard
AMD has launched a motherboard capabable of taking two dual-core Athlon 64 FX-70 series chips and uses Nvidia's 680a chipset.
Some might say it's not true 4x4 but running 2x dual core. However it will be compatible with future true quad core designs being released next year. It's aimed at high end gamers.
It also shows AMD are retaining their relationship with Nvidia even though they acquired ATI earlier this year.

Pico GSM cells, what's the fuss all about? | The Register
Pico GSM cells, what's the fuss all about? | The Register: "1781.7-1785MHz paired with 1876.7-1880MHz (known as the GSM Guard bands)1781.7-1785MHz paired with 1876.7-1880MHz (known as the GSM Guard bands)"
The GSM Guard bands were put in place as the seperate the GSM bands from the DECT bands. 20 years ago radio kit tended to bleed into neighbouring areas, so Ofcom reserved these chunks of 3.3MHz to ensure that there would be no interference with DECT.
Nowadays radio kit is much better and doesn't, so Ofcom auctioned off the spectrum and made £3.8m for the government in the process (peanuts compared to the £22bn they made on 3G, but it's some cash to pay for a tank in Iraq or something).
The major advantage is that all GSM phones will "listen" on those frequencies as their normal behaviour, so in theory easy to run a low power GSM network and use off-the-shelf phones. Of course there's more to it than that and the article goes on to explain that.

Review of the wholesale broadband access markets 2006/07 | Ofcom
Ofcom are holding a consultation on the Wholesale Broadband Access (WBA) market. This is to ensure other players have equal access to WBA and can offer their own services.
This really affects BT and Kingston Communications (who are the sole comms provider in Hull) as they both have Significant Market Power (SMP) in various areas.
The consultation closes on 13/02/07.
Ofcom will publish their findings in mid 2007 and further review the situation.

Higher power limits for licence-exempt devices | Ofcom
Higher power limits for licence-exempt devices | Ofcom
Ofcom held a consultation to raise power limits in both the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands. There were 30 responses from a wide range of organisations.
Since broadband is now available (at speeds of at least 512Kb/s) in most of the UK and there are possible interference effects when raising the power of 2.4GHz in rural areas Ofcom has decided not to proceed with changing the 2.4Ghz limits.
In 5.8GHz there was general agreement that power limits could be raised, so Ofcom are planning to change the licensing so higher power limits can be used nationally (with the constraints that 5.8GHz is a lightly licensed band).
Ofcom also asked whether conducted power rather than radiated power levels should be used as the basis for regulation, there was a mixed response which went towards supporting this across Europe, so Ofcom will make any such changes through the European Regulatory regime.

O2 picocells to send mobile calls via LANs - 20 Nov 2006 - IT Week
O2 picocells to send mobile calls via LANs - 20 Nov 2006 - IT Week
It seems O2 are going to use their GSM Guard Band license to offer in-building GSM, using ADSL as backhaul.
They say they have a combined GSM/DSL router for less than Euro 100. They have a huge advantage against other Guard Band operators in that they can just plug into their own GSM network, without risk of interference to existing cells. Hand-off when outside the pico-cell will just work.
If they can really produce equipment this cheaply, then even normal ADSL will support a couple of voice calls (GSM uses a 13Kb/s codec and even after converting to VoIP may only use around 21Kb/s). Most ADSL upstream supports at least 256Kb/s, though it's contended.
It makes sense in offices, but could also attract home users, who get cheaper calls when using their own cell. As O2 recently bought Be (the local loop unbundler) they'll have a network to run the system over, though they have limited coverage at the moment.

Starbucks Card
Though I hate to say it, it's an impressive system. You get a card (any card) and then top it up with cash. You can then use the card in stores in the UK and abroad and use them to buy stuff from Starbucks.
You can also register the card on the Starbucks website (and it then becomes a loyalty card and they're meant to offer freebies etc - though as it has just launched, yet to be seen). When you register the card, the card balance and what you've spent show up on the site. What's amazing is how quickly. Having bought a coffee the transaction showed up on the site within 10 minutes (the time taken walking from the store home).
Another way for Big Brother to track you, but as long as they give free coffee you can stay awake thinking about everyone spying on you.

Review of General Condition 18 – Number portability | Ofcom
Review of General Condition 18 – Number portability | Ofcom
Ofcom is holding a consultation to allow rapid porting of numbers across networks, both in the fixed and mobile arenas. Fixed networks will be expected to port numbers within 1 working day and mobile networks within 3.
There will be an all-call query of a common database of numbers (“ACQ/CDB”) solution both for fixed and mobile networks (mobile networks already utilise something similar) which will aid in routing calls.
Currently fixed networks use completely static routes that are preprogrammed into each telephone exchange which makes tasks like porting extremely complex and time consuming.
As fixed networks move to Next Generation Networks, this will also fit in well with NGN topologies.
Unfortunately it's a slow process and will not be implemented until 2009.

Apple does iPods on planes
Apple has announced plans with Air France, Continental, Delta, Emirates, KLM and United to put iPod docks into plane seats. They will connect into the audio and seat-back video display to display any stored videos on the display. Service is expected to start in 2007.
They have also announced a deal with Panasonic Avionics Corporation (who are also looking at offering a replacement for the Boing Connexion service), so maybe it will be possible to buy movies and audio from iTunes while on a flight.
This could be a major plus for Apple and continue their iPod dominance.

Ofcom silent on VoIP regulation - Telecoms - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com
Ofcom was meant to publish regulation on VoIP in August, but it's been delayed. It seems they will now publish by the end of November, but there's no mention of it on any Ofcom publications or their site.
Traditional voice has been regulated for a long time, but Ofcom has taken a light-handed approach to VoIP, which should allow for competition in next generation networks. However it may also give BT (the encumbant) the flexibility they are not allowed under the current regulatory environment.

MacBooks now Core 2 Duo
Apple today updated the MacBooks to the Core 2 Duo CPU. They now come standard with 1GB of RAM and bigger hard disks (they now support up to 160GB 5400RPM SATA disks or 200GB using a 4200RPM disk).
The only thing they need now is an updated graphics card (which doesn't share the system memory) and they'll be almost perfect.

Ofcom to lightly license 71-76GHz & 81-86GHz Bands.
Ofcom is going to lightly license the 71-76GHz & 81-86GHz Bands, allowing fixed point to point high bandwidth links. There will be an unlimited number of licenses and no interference protection from licensed users (i.e. they'll have to fight it out between themselves).
Issue Policy
Available Spectrum Ofcom will make available two bands, specifically 71.125-75.875 GHz and 81.125-85.875 GHz for broadband point to point fixed wireless links.
Block/Channel Size - A 4.75 GHz block in each band.
Licence - An unlimited number of non-exclusive national licences will be available, subject to revocation on a standard 5 year notice period. Each licence may contain an unlimited number of assignments.
Fees Licence fee - free of charge.
- Each link assignment £50 per link registered per year or part year (where applicable).
Licensing Process - Light licensed and e-enabled link registration process. To open the band at the earliest possible time, an interim procedure will be implemented while Ofcom’s online facility (currently under development) is completed.
- Links will be registered on a publicly accessible register with first in time priority.
Coordination between links - Links will be self co-ordinated i.e. coordinating between links will be the responsibility of the licence holder.
Trading - All forms of transfer will be permitted.
Frequency Block Clearance - The Spectrum Bands have been block cleared to permit fast track frequency clearance (see OfW 197) i.e. link assignments will not be required to undergo the full three week National Frequency Assignment Panel (NFAP) process and be considered at NFAP meetings.
Site Clearance - Links breaching thresholds given in OfW 191 will require site clearance. Licensees will be required to declare that site clearance thresholds are met/ links have been site cleared before a registration can be made.
Equipment and Antennas - Must conform to essential requirements of the RTTE Directive and UK Interface Requirement 2000.
Maximum EIRP - Maximum Radio Regulations limit, 55dBW.
Max Transmit - Power delivered to the antenna 0 dBW
Other Users of the Band - Ofcom will permit the operation of the Amateur and Amateur Satellite allocations on a primary basis within the upper guard band of the 71-76 GHz block i.e. 75.875-76 GHz band. Amateur and Amateur Satellite use between 75.5 – 75.875 GHz will be permitted on a secondary basis.
Review of the interference approach - It is intended that a review of the interference approach is undertaken when sufficient experience has been gained to assess if any refinements to the approach are necessary
Though Ofcom are making this a lightly licensed band, equipment costs are going to be high, so it's only likely to be of use to companies that need short range, high bandwidth links.

1m unbundled lines
The independent Office of the Telecommunications Adjudicator (OTA) has announced that there are now one million unbundled lines.
When 1.5m lines have been unbundled (or April 2007 whichever comes first), BT Wholesale can set new pricing for DSL services, which means they are likely to plummet. This is good for the consumer, but it means the economics for Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) operators will mean even larger scale is needed as margins are liable to drop further. This will see further consolidation and there'll be an even smaller number of big players, which eventually leads back to the old market with BT and maybe one or two large players left.

Dell has released a notebook based on AMD CPUs.
The Inspiron 1501, allows configuration options of a Sempron, mobile Turion 64, and dual-core Turion 64 X2 chips.
Dell joins a long list of other notebook vendors using AMD. Dell have previously announced servers with AMD CPU's, which completely went against their Intel only stance.
It looks likely they've have a complete range of Intel and AMD based systems and users can decide.

WirelessHD
A new wireless protocol is being developed, WirelessHD which is HDMI over wireless.
Designed to remove the need for cables between systems, it will use 60GHz radios and support about 10m range. Equipment doesn't need to be line of site.
It's just an agreement at the moment to produce a specification, but it's got some big names behind it (Sony, LG, Samsung etc).
Unfortunately 60GHz is unlicensed everywhere, so there may be some regulatory hurdles to get the standard actually out there.

U3 USB/Flash drive software
U3 is a really clever system whereby applications are modified to work with U3 and when say a USB drive is inserted into a PC the apps are ready to use with all the configuration data. When the drive is removed the application/configuration data goes with it, so nothing is left on the PC.
If it all works, it could make remote working much easier as a user just needs to take their USB drive with them and plug into a Windows based PC.
There's a fair few apps that have been made U3 aware, including OpenOffice, PuTTY, WinSCP, Skype, Trillian and many more that can be purchased.
Now they need a Mac version.
