Government Sources Confirm Amendments to Internet-Piracy Bill

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010


The Digital Rights Bill which was announced sometime late last year will now be amended in response to the many protests that some sections of the proposals have prompted. Critics to the bill include industry majors such as Google and Facebook and consumer rights organisations.

The bill was mooted as a solution to the issue of internet piracy and illegal file-sharing which has been plaguing the entertainment industry for a while now. Big names from the film, music and television sectors have been asking the government to step in with serious legal provisions to curb these illegal activities for quite a while and its was in response to these appeals that the bill was proposed. However, some provisions of this bill have met with great criticism.

In particular, critics have been vociferously protesting against clause 17 of the Digital Rights Bill. This clause allows ministers to wield considerable powers to modify online piracy laws without the need for prior parliamentary approval. This will result in letting ministers make unilateral decisions which could affect the fortunes of an industry which is considered to be one of the fastest-growing , critics say. Such restrictive regulatory powers will curb the growth in the sector, it is believed.

Following these protests government sources have announced that this clause will be modified and amended to ensure completely transparency in the processes. However, the government has also reinforced its faith and confidence in the need for such provisions.

MAC Code Regulations No longer in Force – Ofcom

Friday, November 27th, 2009

The General Condition 22 regulation that Ofcom had put in place in February 2007 to address the complaints received by customers who wished to change broadband service providers is no longer in force now. The communications regulator has announced the disbanding of the regulation.

The GC22 programme was brought into being to regulate the movement of customers from one broadband provider to another without facing any difficulties. It was formulated after several complaints were received from customers in this regard, in order to oversee the process where customers are required to give MAC codes during the changeover.

However, the number of such complaints has reduced drastically from 825 in March 2007 to 147 in September 2009, leading to the conclusion that providers are by and large sticking to the rules now. The regulations are no longer thought necessary by Ofcom in such a scenario.

Some providers like Pipex were closely watched after a number of complaints were received against them. However, after a notice was issued to Pipex in 2008, the provider seems to be toeing the line diligently, going by the reducing number of grievances against it. Given this, Ofcom has announced that they are no longer maintaining the same level of scrutiny on Pipex now.

However, Ofcom has confirmed that the MAC code-related complaints and grievances will continue to be followed closely to ensure that compliance is indeed consistent and continuous.

For information on your ISP, Broadband Genie is a good site to look at for provider reviews and offers, such as office broadband.

Virgin Media Proposes Broadband Schools

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Britons clearly need help to tackle technical jargon and make them more aware about the internet.

A Virgin Media study covering 3000 respondents has shown that many of them do not really understand internet-related technologies and technical terms such as ‘broadband’ or ADSL. The study found that a lot of them do not understand technical jargon, security concerns and speed issues.

The survey results showed that 7% of the respondents thought Blu-Ray was just another type of broadband. As much as 14% of them stated that knotting of wires could slow down their broadband internet connection. More than 50 per cent thought a broadband connection is possible only with a landline, and did not know phone line-free alternatives such as fibre optic cable and mobile broadband.

A large portion of the respondents did not have any information regarding mobile broadband, which is a cause of worry for companies like Virgin Media. They showed a complete lack of awareness regarding terms like ‘dongle’(click for more on a dongle). They are also not aware of the speed of their internet connection, terms, and conditions on which these services were provided to them etc.

Virgin Media is chalking out plans to start broadband schools in cities with the least broadband knowledge, including Birmingham, Belfast, Leeds, London, and Newcastle. However, there are no details when the first school will open its doors.

Operators present built-in 3G data cards

Friday, July 18th, 2008

As mobile broadband grows prominent in the United Kingdom, it seems that convenience is becoming more important to consumers. Due to this, operators are being forced to work harder, in an effort to meet the demands of their subscribers.

A new development in the industry, two organizations have collaborated to provide consumers with a quite convenient efficiency – laptops that include built-in mobile broadband. Previously, users were required to acquire their own separate technologies, purchasing 3G data cards from individual sources.

This new technology has arrived as an investment from Vodafone and Lenovo, offering broadband for laptops capability as a complementary addition, without extra costs for the consumers.

Customers will be able to purchase these new laptops, ThinkPad notebooks, with this new connectivity supplement. The ThinkPad SL X comes pre-installed, ready to be used with these broadband services. With the purchase of a laptop, users are also given a free trial with their broadband, to test its worth.

Vodafone plans to offer this efficiency within 12 months, to customers within the UK. Additionally, Vodafone commented that external customers will not be “stiffed” by overly high prices; roaming services will only cost 8.50 per day.

This development is quite significant in the overall progression of mobile broadband.
