  6. YouTube Planning Premium Channels With Original Programming... Will it be the TV, Cable and DTH of the Future? Source Although there are a few dominant video streaming websites on the Internet, by far and away the largest is YouTube. The problem is, paying for all that video content being streamed 24 hours a day, coupled with the copyright issues said content brings, makes it tough to generate a lot of profit or any at all. Google has been attempting to do so for years now, with advertising noticeably increased recently on the videos you watch, either around them or in them. But Google isn't just concentrating on advertising, it also wants original content you just can't watch anywhere else. The Wall Street Journal has been told that content is now a focus for YouTube, and with it is coming a major revamp to the site. Apparently we can expect to see a number of premium content channels appearing and dominating the homepage. As many as 20, in fact.Within those channels will be original programming which Google has set aside $100 million to pay for and wants up to 10 hours of content going live every week. In other words, YouTube looks like it may become the equivalent of a TV network, funding premium TV series and possibly even movies that Google can then use to drive traffic to the site. The change of focus for the video site would fit well with the drive to get Google TV into our homes, and the growing number of TVs being sold that are Internet-enabled. It would also means Google could up the cost of advertising during these original streams. At the moment Google is thought to be hiring to support the new channels as well as meeting with talent agencies to gauge interest. As for when it will launch, a phased approach is expected starting near the end of this year. Of course, Google isn't commenting on such rumors. Original Article At Wall Street Journal

  11. Reliance Unit Plans Voice Service Wall Stree Journal. March 20, 2012 Reliance Industries Ltd. is working on a plan to launch telecommunications operations complete with voice and data services by September, four people aware of the matter said, in a development that has the potential to be a game-changer in India's telecom market. Reliance's unit Infotel Broadband Services Ltd. has a license that allows it to provide broadband wireless Internet across India, but not voice service. However, a new policy--which is scheduled to be in place by June and seeks to unify all communication licenses--will likely allow it to provide voice service too. Reliance initially didn't want to provide voice service as the telecom market is crowded and hyper competitive, but is now planning to add that to the offerings because of its findings that providing data and voice together will help attract more users than giving just Internet, one of the people said. Voice services contribute more than 85% of Indian telecom operators' revenue, though Internet offers higher margins. Reliance, the biggest Indian company by market value, is known to make its entries into new markets big, as it did with large-scale across-the-country retail business and telecom itself early in last decade. When the Ambani brothers split their business empire in 2005, the telecom business went to Anil Ambani and energy-focused Reliance Industries to Mukesh Ambani. The energy-to-textiles group could disrupt telecom industry economics with new technology and lower tariffs if it launches voice and data services together. The sector is just about recovering from the effects of intense competition that has been hurting revenue and profitability. Offering voice service on fourth-generation technology, which Reliance plans to employ, may however become a challenge due to the infancy of the technology and non-availability of affordable devices as yet. The company expects to start offering commercial services in a few cities by September, three of the people said. None of the four people wanted to be identified.
  12. Is the Galaxy Nexus Still a “Nexus?” Source December 11, 2011 By: Will Verduzco If you thought that simply because you weren’t buying a Verizon-bloated Galaxy Nexus that you would be privy to a true Google Experience, guess again! As first noted by XDA forum member Luxferro, who discovered that his GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus‘s build.prop fingerprint didn’t quite match up to the expected, not every Galaxy Nexus is a Galaxy Nexus. What is “Nexus?” Let’s take a few steps back and figure out what’s going on. To do so, we must take a look at what a Nexus device is, and what the term has come to mean. According to Andy Rubin himself, a Nexus device is, “the pinnacle of what we can achieve when integrating Android onto a piece of hardware.” In other words, a Nexus device should represent Android done right, i.e. the absolute zenith of technology—in both software and hardware. The mere existence of the Nexus program is a tacit admission by Google that although Android’s fundamental distribution model has lead to industry-leading platform adoption, carrier and OEM control is hardly ideal. Instead, Nexus gives Google a chance to “take back” their OS and show the world Android in its full glory. Previous Nexus Devices The Nexus line began with the HTC-built Nexus One, the phone which ushered in Android 2.1 Éclair. Barring a select few carrier-controlled versions, this device featured pure Google software in the majority of its configurations. The hardware was great, too—a Samsung-sourced AMOLED panel here, 512 MB of RAM and a 1 GHz Snapdragon SoC there. Just a few months later, Froyo came; and naturally, the Nexus One was the first phone to receive the JIT- and Flash-enabling goods. Next up was the Samsung-built Nexus S, which brought the first taste of Android 2.3 Gingerbread to the masses 11 months and change after the arrival of the Nexus One. While not quite the latest in hardware—as the Samsung Hummingbird and Super-AMOLED panel had been seen in the Galaxy S roughly six months earlier—the software in the most markets was still controlled directly by Google. While not bearing the moniker “Nexus,” the Motorola XOOM, which delivered Android 3.0 Honeycomb for us on a Aluminum-backed platter, was also a Google-controlled device in its home turf. Galaxy “Nexus” When the Galaxy Nexus was officially unveiled on October 19th in Hong Kong, the hardware and software evoked a visceral lust many had not experienced before towards a phone. Packing a 720p Super-AMOLED HD display, a powerful dual-core OMAP4 SoC, a full GB of RAM, and—most importantly—Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich; the Galaxy Nexus was a show-stopper. A Fly in the Ice Cream-Flavored Ointment Unfortunately, not all is perfect in Android’s latest tasty treat. Reports quickly surfaced about how Verizon’s 4G LTE variant would feature both VZW branding and a short order of mild bloatware. Bloatware on a Nexus device? BLASPHEMY! At least unlocked GSM owners were safe… Right? Wrong. As quickly discovered by community members who failed to receive the 4.0.1 update, and subsequently weren’t able to perform a manually install, there are several software configurations of the GSM Galaxy Nexus. The true, Google-controlled version is yakju—the rest being Samsung-controlled variants, thereof. All carry the hardware code name maguro, so it is plausible that they can be flashed to yakju. However, according to Android software engineer Jean-Baptise Queru, it is unclear at this time whether this is actually possible. Where Does This Leave Us? All builds other than yakju are not controlled by Google themselves, leading to the very real possibilities of update delays and carrier- and/or OEM-installed bloatware. This doesn’t taste like “Nexus” anymore, does it? Since Nexus represents Google’s regain of platform control, anything other than unfettered Google is no longer Nexus. To answer the question in the title, those lucky enough to own yakju devices can breathe a sigh of relief because they are able to enjoy a true, Google-controlled Galaxy Nexus. However, all other Galaxy Nexus owners better start getting familiar with fastboot and adb in order to get the unadulterated Android experience. Oh, and… SamSONg, I AM DISAPPOINTED.
