Mobile World Congress, the mobile event – The Economist

The MWC is the world’s largest mobile event and this year will receive about 90,000 visitors in Barcelona.

The Mobile World Congress ( MWC) in Barcelona is about to open its doors. It is the world’s largest mobile event and this year will receive about 90,000 visitors, according to estimates by the organizers. Another year, the major players in the sector, telecom operators, handset manufacturers and big Internet giant will fight with technological developments. And to attract public attention.

So, for starters, the top executives of large telecommunications (telecom) see their faces again and again try to be the protagonists. At the end of the day, the MWC is organized by the GSMA, patron of the operators themselves. The event is expected appearances by directors like Cesar Alierta, chairman of Telefónica, Vittorio Colao, CEO of Vodafone, Timotheus Höttges, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange, Jon Fredrik Baksaas, President of Telenor and own GSMA, Chang-Gyu Hwang, chief executive of the KT South Korean, and Ralph de la Vega, president of AT &. T Mobility, among others

In recent years, the telecom took advantage of their presence in MWC to launch proposals or to propose draft regulatory claims. For example, in the edition of 2013, César Alierta launched a strong attack against regulation of the European Commission to prevent the consolidation of the sector. “In recent years, in Brussels only been dedicated to monitor whether countries like Austria should have four or five operators,” harshly criticized the president of Telefónica, who claimed that it should establish regulations to facilitate the promotion of investments in new networks.

Perhaps it was a starting point, because since then, corporate operations began to accelerate in different markets: Spain, France, Folanda, Germany, UK, Scandinavia …

This year, the operator will attack again by the scope of regulation and re-raise the requirement that similar rules imposed on their own businesses over-the-top (OTT), especially large companies US internet.

At the moment, the situation is complicated for the sector. The decision of the US regulator, the FCC, on net neutrality, provoke new controversy in the MWC. And the FCC approved a proposal that considers Internet a public service and therefore subject to more stringent regulation to ensure equal access last Thursday. A pro internet groups and contrary to the telecom decision. A decision that, amid the controversy, defend at this year’s MWC Tom Wheeler, chairman of the FCC. Guenther Oettinger will also Commissioner of the Digital Economy and Society, which faces the renovation of the entire telecom regulation of the continent.

On the side of Internet companies, the main character is Marc Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, which in recent times has been at the center of the target of attacks by various executives of telecom. The founder of the largest social network in the world, which shook the 2014 edition announcing a few days before buying WhatsApp by Facebook, will go to Barcelona to present their positions. The big question is whether it will use the event to publicize the final date for the definitive, global service launch voice calls via WhatsApp. A new threat to telecom, which has already announced a year ago by the creator of this application, Jan Koum.

The issue is of significance, as WhatsApp, with 700 million users, has great weight in mobile communications (service has already hit hard the business of SMS operators) and jump to the voice can change the status quo of the sector. The new version of this app, with possibilities to make free calls, it is expected that the first quarter of 2015 is available, and Zuckerberg can be who give the exact date.

According to the report on trends and forecasts for IP network traffic, published this February by Cisco Systems is expected that in 2018 the minutes of flames wifi calling minutes exceed the PSTN. “So it seems that Whatsapp, with the new service calls, will certainly contribute to this prediction is confirmed,” say the teachers of IT, Multimedia and Telecommunications Department of the UOC, Robert Clarisó, César Córcoles and Carles Garrigues.

It is true that there are already several applications for voice and video over the Internet (Skype, Viber, Tango, etc.), but “the main obstacle to these apps is that the sender and receiver must have installed the application to make calls, which has made has not extended this service as expected. “However, Whatsapp, with its large community of users, has all the numbers to become the calling application quintessential internet.”

If Zuckerberg finally takes the letter of voice calls in the Mobile World Congress will be interesting to see how they react operators, what actions they plan to implement in their rates or in their bids to counter this new stake WhatsApp, they will have to fight to continue to maintain earnings calls. However, if the speech was not around Facebook and Zuckerberg is dedicated to deepen their project to extend connectivity worldwide and claim Fi connectivity (Internet.org) also will like to telecom.

On the front of OEMs and component highlights the presence of directors as Michel Combes, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent, Rajeev Suri, Nokia CEO Hans Vestberg, CEO of Ericsson, Ken Hu, deputy chairman of Huawei Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of Qualcomm, Brian Krzanich, chief executive of Intel. In this case, manufacturers are in stiff competition to attract operators face to the award of new contracts. This struggle is bustling given the current scenario of increased investment in next generation networks, both fiber optic and mobile 4G, large operators. All are engaged in the battle of speed networks, one of the key factors where telecom are focusing their battles.

The MWC also host other battles, as they will face two new couples, formed by IBM and Apple, and Google Sapy. The four companies want to lead the mobile business in the enterprise. At Mobile World Congress this year will be as shown in this war Bill McDermott, CEO of SAP.

The fair will also welcome representatives of the financial world. These Ajay Banga, CEO of MasterCard, and Francisco González, chairman of BBVA, which in recent times has prompted the introduction of technology into its banking operations. Yes that mobile payment opens a field of tremendous growth. Just as the automotive industry. Car manufacturers have gained presence in the world of telecom with the implementation of services connected to the automotive industry. Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault-Nissan, will be among the guests.

The stars of the show

More speed mobile, 4G, 4G +, 5G. .. The telecom will announce during MWC new services and technologies, with particular emphasis on access speeds on networks. Vodafone has already moved tab. The telecom show in Barcelona the new LTE-U technology that achieves a speed Internet access up to 600 Mbps. Vodafone also going to launch a new technology, dubbed Crown RAN, which allows a massive infrastructure deployment Mobile reducing costs and improving performance of 4G. In turn, within this race Orange will teach new speed tests around 4G +, while Telefonica prepares different ads. Background, and when 4G is still under takeoff in many countries, much of industry executives will now treat the arrival of the new 5G. Operators and manufacturers have already begun to take steps in this area.

The ‘apps’ are weighed in Barcelona … also video games. applications will play an important role in the show is that the so-called economy of apps and moves 14,700 million in Europe alone, where some of the most successful game developers such as Rovio, King, Mind Candy or Wooga. In fact, this edition premiere gaming section, as the fair hosts first ever dedicated to mobile gaming, Gamelab Mobile area, where besides seeing start-ups with multiple proposals, will also be giants like Sony, Samsung or Google. CaixaBank and Ford also have advanced they will present what they call “the world’s first financial application for automotive intelligent systems”. On the MWC also discuss problem hitting this business. The level of piracy in some mobile applications reached 97%, according to a report by Red Points

Smartphones, ‘wearables ‘and selfie stick. remain little to boot the MWC and the expectation is high on gadgets that will be. It is expected that this Samsung Galaxy S6 normal screen and the Galaxy S6 Edge, with screen also by the two sides. HTC amaze you with its new HTC One M9, which is likely to come accompanied by Petra, the first intelligent clock. It seems clear that, with smart phones, which have bold proposals like Ubuntu BQ smartphone operating system, and where Asian brands continue stomping, will star wearables. Huawei seems to keep some surprises in this line, and LG is almost certain to take the show on LG Watch Urbane a smartwatch with Android Wear and traditional watch design. Sony could have your new tablet Sony Xperia Z4. Nor would it look strange at the show multiple versions of fashion accessory. The selfie stick

The telecommunications giant Ericsson wants to prevent Apple iPhones and iPads amount to the United States. It is part of a protracted patent dispute between the two companies that recently landed in various courts.

Until a month ago, Apple had been paying Ericsson patent rights for using your vital phone technology cell. Ericsson patents covering crucial roles in a cell phone, including make and receive calls, GPS positioning and controlling certain software applications.

But the license agreement had expired without renewal in January, and Apple simply He stopped paying for patents. Ericsson claims to have unsuccessfully tried to negotiate terms with the technology over the past two years.

The company says apple mentions that Ericsson wants to charge too much and apply their patents so too extensive to cover technology that does not is related to patented technologies.

Ericsson filed seven lawsuits in the United States and two international demands. The company seeks unspecified damages and that sales of the iPhone and iPad ban

The dilemma dress that captured the social networks – lanacion.com (Argentina)

If the Thursday night before bed, someone picked up the phone and looked at Twitter, has been crossed with the first stream of tweets that spoke of a dress. Yes, that dress. The same as yesterday still fighting positions against Captain Spock in the top ten of trending topics with its two versions hashtag (#thedress and #elvestido), who also captured the attention of news sites around the world and, like all viral, was used by brands and reversionado in countless memes. A mystery that, in the end, revealed politicians, celebrities and scientists from a simple question: is it the white and gold dress or blue and black

In this dilemma the debate became engrossed that Yesterday monopolized social networks: everyone defended the color scheme that saw -most white and Dorado- and even a diplomat said see both, depending on the position you put the screen with respect to the light

The first trace of the discussion leads to a wedding held last weekend in a small Scottish island called Colonsay (globalization tell). It was the dress of the bride: no one could agree on their color scheme. As reported in The New York Times, looking for an answer, Caitlin McNeill, a girl of 21 who had attended the wedding, decided to upload the photo to your Tumblr dress with the following caption: “Guys, help me: is this dress white and gold or blue and black? My friends and I we agree and we’re going crazy. “

By now well know Caitlin was still no agreement. What not to understand is how that started posting 500 likes in half an hour, which tens of thousands were fired in an hour, jumping from site BuzzFeed Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter.

“For all those wondering, I see blue and black” Justin Bieber tweeted yesterday. Singer Taylor Swift was also played by those colors: “I do not understand this strange debate on the dress and feel that somehow there’s a catch’m confused and frightened Please obviously is blue and black..”

<. p> On the other hand, the recent Oscar winner Julianne Moore who assured see white and gold, like the Delevingne face model, which attributed the confusion of many a theme of light stood since the picture was taken at dusk .

The host Ellen DeGeneres, with experience in viralizaciones- did not stay in the dichotomy but scoffed a bit of the phenomenon: “From this day, the world is divided between two blue and black,. or white and gold, “he tweeted yesterday.

The debate on the color of dress exposes a fundamental fact is that not all perceive colors the same way. It does not color blind for a person to see the dress in one color and another, another. Experts agreed that the case of the dress is a good example of how environmental factors such as light affect our perception. The dress on the tweeted photo appears in shades with bright daylight background. Given this very blurred image based on the contrast of light, the brain of each one tries to determine what would be the color if instead of being in the shade, the dress was light.

This is an unconscious process that not all brains processed in the same way. So say scientists: many people to respond to what colors the dress is actually what color are responding believe their brains would be the dress if you were in most pristine light conditions. This basic explanation is possible adding them other. Like the fact that the perception of certain colors -particularly blue- change with age.

The famous local also divided opinions. But Malena Ginzburg mood changed with the axis of the debate: “No matter what color dress … sure that the only detail left is S or XS & amp;”. Occurrences left over. Memes too. Until politicians seized. Julio Cobos, former Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, among others

And as happened in social networks with the phenomenon of Fifty Shades of Grey , the marks gouged juice to this new viral. As this tweet with a picture of a can of soda and the legend “New Pepsi white and gold.” .

Why the dress changes color? – ElTiempo.com

The color of the dress is blue with black. Punto. And has confirmed the British brand Roman Originals, which sells in her shop for 50 pounds (about 192,000 pesos).

Yesterday, a picture of a simple dress, which some see gold with white, and blue with black other, turned her around the world, filled headlines, topped lists of the most read articles in digital media and trend turned in social networks.

But what makes some see it from a different other color? Carlos Francisco Fernández, medical adviser TIME, explained that the color does not exist but is only in the brain.

“It is built in the same way that the meanings of words. Without the neural processes not’d be able to understand the colors of things, as we are unable to understand a language we do not know, “he said.

In what concerns the color perception he added Fernandez, the brain processes the shape of objects on one side and the other colors and unifies according to the condition of each individual.

“When the brain has difficulty integrating the signals received by both eyes or if such signs are sufficiently different or confusing and that is what happens with stripes of her dress, the brain resolves the conflict by suppressing the information received by one eye or gives the brightness or contrast that is suitable and best suited to the characteristics of the person and their biological state, “says Fernandez

He added:” The stripes on Yes launch wavelengths that do not offer sharper contrast and brain take the shortcut that is at hand. In that shortcut will see about the golden, some blue, some white. The truth is that without light all look the same: black “p>

p class =>. “. “The eyes capture photons, or particles of light, which come with different energies. Color vision is a feature that we thank earners in our retina, about 6 million so-called cones, with which we can distinguish different wavelengths of light, “he says.

Our eyes he adds, are designed to perceive a small range of all light, we call visible light, to differentiate it from other types of radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays, for those who need special tools if we observe them.

“Color constancy is a phenomenon of perception indicates that what we see may change depending on the light source with which it illuminated and ambient lighting. For example, if we see an object under a shadow, the brain acts as if he knew there darken objects. Therefore, to compensate for this perceived colors more brilliant than they really are, “says astrophysicist.

In short, the brain makes many assumptions that depend on the context in which we and individual perception of each.

Ericsson sues Apple to prevent iPhone sales – CNNExpansión.com

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) – The telecommunications giant Ericsson wants to stop Apple iPhones and iPads amount to the United States. It is part of a protracted patent dispute between the two companies that recently landed in various courts.

Until last month, Apple had been paying Ericsson patent rights for using their vital cellular phone technology. Ericsson patents covering crucial roles in a cell phone, including make and receive calls, GPS positioning and true software controlling applications.

But the licensing agreement expired in January without renewal, and Apple simply stopped paying for patents. Ericsson claims to have unsuccessfully tried to negotiate terms with the technology over the past two years. The firm says Apple, meanwhile, that Ericsson wants to charge too much and apply their patents so too extensive to cover technology that is not related to patented technologies.

Ericsson filed seven lawsuits in the United States and two international demands. The company seeks unspecified damages and that sales of the iPhone and iPad are prohibited.

As part of international applications lodged at the International Trade Commission US (ITC), Ericsson is looking for shipments of iPhones and iPads to the United States are prohibited. Most Apple products are assembled in China. The ITC has the ability to ban imports of goods that infringe patents.

The claims cover 41 patents, including Ericsson includes essential patents for 2G and 4G standards, processor components, software user interface, location services and even the iOS present in the iPhone and iPad.

“Apple products has benefited from the invented and patented by engineers Ericsson technology,” said in a statement Kasim Alfalahi, director of intellectual property at Ericsson. “The functions that consumers now take for Discounted like to watch TV programs or access your favorite applications from the phone are based on technology that we have developed. ”

Alfalahi said Ericsson has “acted in good faith to find a just solution” but Apple “has rejected all attempts” to reach a licensing agreement.

Apple sees the situation differently.

“Ericsson seeks to exploit their patents to claim the value of these leading innovations from Apple, result of years of hard work of engineers and designers from Apple and billions of dollars in research and development of Apple and they have nothing to do with Ericsson patents “Apple said in its indictment filed last month in a California court.

“We have always been willing to pay a fair price for the rights to use essential patents covering technology in our products,” said Kristin Huguet, a spokeswoman for Apple. “Unfortunately, we could not agree with Ericsson a fair price for their patents, so as a last resort we are seeking the help of the courts.”

The patent disputes between tech giants are common, especially when the competence of the technology used in the lucrative market of smartphones. Some sentences have resolved the payment of several billion dollars, and ITC is known for issuing import bans.

But cases often so long and have so many appeals for the moment bans are imposed, the manufacturer of smartphone no longer sells the phones in question.

What science says about the color of the dress split the network … – Perfil.com

On Thursday February 26th will be remembered as the day the color of a garment divided humanity. Blue and black, or white and gold were the two options and both Twitter and Facebook , or Whatsapp exploited for this item. How can something like this happen?

The mystery of how half of humanity sees it differently lies in our mind.

The truth is that our brain does not work like a computer, and to interpret the colors have to pass a series of things. The light bounces off objects, and depending on the physical characteristics, will reflect only part of it. The whitish sunlight is a mixture of all colors -such as seen in the logo of Pink Floyd, where it enters a white beam, and a prism decomposes in the arcoiris-. What we understand as color corresponds to a certain wavelength of light. The blue dress absorbs all colors except blue, and reflects our eyes. This crosses our cornea and reaches the retina, where special cells (called rods and cones) that depending what wavelength are received, send one or another signal to our brain.

But the story does not end there. Before you can get an idea of ​​the color of something, our mind analyzes the context, and tries to deduce what color is the light that illuminates it. Because a white object can be seen with the light of a cloudy day, with beige evening light, or red with white evening. And if we are in the shade, the blue light from the sky gives a tint of that color. If you know in advance who is white, or whether we are fully aware of the light source, our brain will “set” automatically to see white. In the image below, for example, we see that the selected cubes are clearly blue, and yellow. But explains Dr. Erin Goddard Cognitive Psychology, Macquarie University in Sydney, in reality the two are gray. What confuses us is the yellow or blue filter.

For the dress also happens something similar. The image does not allow us to see the light source do not know whether directly illuminated by the sun or the sky, so our brain arbitrarily chooses one of the two , and attempts to correct the color of one form or another.

What also helps is that the image of the dress has a lot of quality and colors are not fully defined. Experts of the journal Wired analyzed the image with Photoshop and extrayeron different areas of the same. What should be black, looks golden, or even orange in the upper part (due to saturation), and if many doubt that is blue or white, definitely appear to be white. But of course, could be interpreted as a target being illuminated by the light of heaven.

A third factor that could affect where many see it as different, is that all our screens They are different and are configured with different levels of brightness. If the image is too dark, it is clearly blue and black, and if you are very clear, is definitely white and gold.

For the avoidance of doubt, the dress is British designers Roman Originals, and It is blue and black . It is also sold in black, red and black or pink and black and white. Not available in white and gold.

The mystery of the dress, which might seem a frivolous debate forced us to learn more about how our brain works.

In the US broadband will be a public service – lanacion.com (Argentina)

As expected for 11 days the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC, for its acronym in English) yesterday approved the proposal that broadband operators that country be reclassified under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. This means you will no longer be almost free of state regulation and will become common carriers, which will be subject to strict rules of interconnection and non-discrimination. Is not regulated, however, the rates. The decision was seen as a triumph of net neutrality.

It was, strictly speaking a voice vote, because the board of the FCC consists of three Democrats and two Republicans. The former have always defended the net neutrality, while Republicans, opposed to state intervention, prefer Internet also is regulated by the market. Therefore it is anticipated that now submit bills to minimize the effect of the new provision of the FCC. An avalanche of lawsuits is also planned.

What is Net Neutrality? The creator of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee, and one of the inventors of the Internet, Vinton Cerf, are staunch supporters of neutrality. Bob Kahn, the other parent of the Internet, is sworn enemy of neutrality. How can that be? The explanation is simple: the phrase “net neutrality” means several different things

On the one hand, it means that no data traffic can be discriminated or privileged arbitrarily.. If telephone and cable companies began to collect from Netflix or YouTube for a connection very high speed, could avoid investing in connection high speed for companies that do not pay that rate and also drown to new ventures, leaving Network in the hands of a few large wallets. In a well Internet or Netflix or YouTube would have had no chance to emerge. This is often referred Cerf and Berners-Lee.

However, while, in many situations it is necessary to prioritize certain data packets, for example to avoid congestion. This refers Bob Kahn.

Everyone has a part of the reason, and legislate neutrality has proved arduous. While Slovenia, the Netherlands and Israel have circumscribed neutrality through a series of exceptions, Argentina and Chile pose a monolithic neutrality. A simplification in the neighboring country, has made Wikipedia Zero illegal, because priority traffic encyclopedia is contrary to neutrality. . Although benefit the most vulnerable sectors

As for the FCC decision is limited to the United States and the effect is purely local; Internet is global by definition. However, it could set a precedent and, in fact, the English House of Lords made last week called for the government of that country also reclassify broadband as a public service. In the letter cited the case of Estonia, where internet access is considered a human right. As in Finland.

The general consensus is, however, that there will be major changes in the short to consumers (US). The standard will become effective 60 days after publication in the Official Gazette. The battle for an open Internet, which is the goal, just beginning. .

United States regularize the internet – The Tribuna.hn

(CNNMoney) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC for its acronym in English), the regulator telecommunications in the United States, approved Thursday a historic step to regulate the Internet in the country.

The new rules, known as “net neutrality”, allow equal opportunity for speeds in internet and access to the sites.

The commission led by Democrats approved 3-2, divided between the two parties, the measure to ensure the government’s authority over the Internet.

The rules of FCC probably will not be official until summer.

Then, the largest telecommunications companies will face new rules in court. A judge can pause the rules. The next president, whether Republican, could turn this discussion.

That is why, in the medium term, nothing changes.

No, no Netflix suddenly begin transmitting faster . Neither AT & T or Comcast stopped abruptly cables optimal high-speed fiber neighborhoods in retaliation. And yes, Netflix can still reach agreements with broadband companies to have faster access to a network.

So what’s just happened exactly?

The FCC also granted the power to defeat the owners of monopoly networks that can kill Internet freedom by blocking websites – or by creating a rail high speed internet for the few privileged rich companies technology that can pay for it.

That’s why some are concerned about how the FCC just ensure net neutrality.

To enforce the rules of equity, agency owners regulate the gaming network taking them under Title II of the Act of 1934 Telecommunications Act, a specific set of regulations that apply to telephone companies, a set of rules that apply to telephone companies.

No trust (companies) in the promise of the FCC to apply only a small fraction of those rules and do not regulate tariffs and tax increases.

“Measures how are you not tend to last long,” said Republican FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai.

“Expect … regulation to the passage of time,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tom Wheeler, chairman of the FCC who got rid of their original repayment plan for such marking, said that this is not a government takeover.

“This is no more a plan to regulate the internet of the First Amendment, is a plan to regulate freedom of expression, “said

.” Both represent the same concept. openness, expression and absence of participants ”

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved three votes to two rules, which primarily prohibits internet providers slow or block certain content online legal services .

The regulation even prohibit providers sell faster at some of the online service connection. For example, Netflix or YouTube may not pay companies that provide network access for users faster access to content . That is the principle known as “internet neutrality”.

It is a new attempt by the FCC to ensure the “neutrality” of the Internet, a principle which caused controversy in the United States and other countries and aims ensure equal access to internet at all .

A previous regulation of the Commission was annulled a year ago for justice through an action for a major telecommunications groups Verizon, and the new project also pushed him to intense political debate in Washington.

The rules would put the Internet in the same regulatory environment as the phone, banning commercial “unjust or unreasonable” practices of suppliers. This is the most important regulatory change in nearly two decades and the goal is to prevent suppliers become slow or block Internet traffic or create fast payment gateways in the network .

“Internet is the ultimate tool of freedom of expression” and “is very important to allow providers (services) broadband set the rules,” he argued before the vote the chairman of the FCC, Tom Wheeler.

One of the two commissioners who opposed the project, Ajit Pai, criticized the measure, evoking “a monumental shift to government control of the internet”.

Online services as Netflix, Twitter and Yelp supported the measures, while internet providers like AT & T, Verizon or Comcast found them very hard and threatened to bring new remedies

Consumer advocates welcomed the new regulations. and consider it a victory for small businesses who fear pay dues for moving the content they have on the network .

The net neutrality means that portals and videos loaded at the same speed. This means that users no longer will be more inclined to watch a particular program rather than Amazon Prime Netflix because Amazon has an agreement with the ISP to load faster data.

Opponents, including many Republican lawmakers say the FCC plan is excessive government intrusion that could eventually raise the cost to consumers and discourage investment in the sector .

The Republican Michael Powell, former head of the commission and now president of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, warned that consumers immediately “feel the burden of new taxes and rising costs, and possibly have to wait longer to have faster and innovative networks since investment returns slow for oversight of the bureaucracy “.

For years, providers agreed not to pick winners and losers traffic on the network because they did not want to encourage regulators to intervene and they said that consumers demanded .

But that attitude began to change around 2005, when Netflix YouTube appeared and became popular. Video on demand is widespread and evidence began to emerge that some suppliers were manipulating traffic without informing consumers.

In 2010 the Commission imposed rules open internet, but now try to remove an ambiguity legal not to classify all internet as “information service” but “telecommunications service” subject to the Communications Act of 1934. This will significantly increase the power of regulators on industry to require suppliers to act in the public interest and have the authority to impose fines on firms that apply “unreasonable” trade practices.
