Anatel considered granting the rights until 2033, but decided to shorten the time span of the authorization given the venture’s “pioneering nature” and “possible unforeseen impacts.” According to Anatel, consumers will be able to access the satellite-based broadband if companies buy capacity from the satellite network, or if existing sector players obtain authorization to operate in the field. “It is in the company’s interest to provide internet access to customers throughout the Brazilian territory, which will certainly be very opportune for schools, hospitals, and other establishments located in rural and remote areas,” said Anatel’s interim president, Emmanoel Campelo....

These full-featured GPS sports watches excel at sports tracking, training programs, customized workout displays, and advanced sports metrics. However, my aging eyes find their lower resolution displays a bit tough to see in lower light situations. Thus, when I saw the Garmin Epix announcement with a high-resolution AMOLED display like the Venu 2 Plus I placed my order and had one in hand within three days. I’ve now been living with the Garmin Epix for a couple of weeks and couldn’t be happier....

In a statement, the European Commission said the formal investigation will examine whether Google has distorted competition by restricting third parties – like advertisers, publishers, or competing online display advertising intermediaries – from accessing user data for advertising purposes on websites and apps, while simultaneously reserving such data for its own use. “Google collects data to be used for targeted advertising purposes, it sells advertising space, and also acts as an online advertising intermediary....

On October 18, FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel unveiled a new set of proposed rules that would force wireless carriers to block illegal robot texts, potentially at the network level. According to the chairwoman, the US regulator received roughly 14,000 complaints from consumers concerning unwanted, robot texts in 2020. So far, the commission has received over 9,800 complaints, which suggests that this is a rising trend that needs to be tackled alongside robot calls....

Zero trust (ZT) enables enterprises to restrict access controls to networks, applications, and environments without sacrificing performance and causing user ire. A zero-trust approach trusts no one, no matter how high on a security clearance ladder he or she may be. Multiple entry codes will always be needed. But ZT still needs assistance in order to provide the 24/7 security and airtight access processes required by many enterprises, and AI is providing that help....

The proposed change would amend the current universal service obligation (USO), which was written into UK law in 2003, when faxing was still a popular communications method. As Ofcom notes, back in 2003, email and instant messaging were still in the early days of mass adoption. “Almost 20 years later, and the telecoms landscape has changed,” Ofcom notes. “Not only are alternatives to fax machines now more widely available, migration of telephone networks to internet protocol (IP) technology means fax services can no longer be guaranteed to work in the same way....

The UK is leading the way with modern digital banking, with well funded startups such as Revolut offering sophisticated mobile phone and card based banking that enables withdrawals in over a hundred currencies internationally and transfers between dozens of currencies.

It’s not simply a refusal to embrace new technologies; many Gen Zers still upgrade their smartphones every year. What seems to be happening right now is an intentional relinquishing of contrived spontaneity, social media overindulgence, and an attempt to reclaim some of the time spent hunched over a screen. Also: Best phone showdown: The top iPhone, Galaxy, and Pixel models stacked up So, Gen Z is investing in Y2K-era technology, such as 2009’s Nikon Coolpix, a 12....

And yet, there’s one incredibly useful feature that Windows has had forever, that’s gone inexplicably missing from MacOS. If you use a Mac, but have even the slightest Windows muscle memory, you’ll try to use this feature, recall that Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to skip it, and then slam your mouse down in frustration. But not anymore, courtesy of Mac developer Coral Wu. And all it costs is two bucks....

Fortinet delivered third quarter revenue of $867.2 million, up 33% from a year ago. For the third quarter, Fortinet’s non-GAAP earnings of $0.99 a share were above expectations. Wall Street was expecting Fortinet to report third quarter earnings of $0.94 a share on revenue of $809.9 million. Fortinet CEO Ken Xie said the company was pleased with its Q3 because they exceeded $1 billion in quarterly billings for the first time in their history....

Swvl, an Egypt-born, UAE-based mass-transit app, was born out of two formative experiences CEO Mostafa Kandil had early in his career. It’s the Middle East’s latest tech unicorn, and the first to list on the Nasdaq exchange. The first, he recounted, involved the challenge of commuting from Cairo to his family home in Ismailia. Although only 90 minutes away, “I would go to the station, and I would wait for the bus,” Kandil recalls, adding that there was no fixed or published timetable....

On September 1, the data watchdog said that SpyFone, together with the company’s chief executive Scott Zuckerman, are now also banned from the surveillance business and they must delete any information illegally harvested – as well as attempt to notify its victims. “The stalkerware app company secretly harvested and shared data on people’s physical movements, phone use, and online activities through a hidden device hack,” the FTC says. “The company’s apps sold real-time access to their secret surveillance, allowing stalkers and domestic abusers to stealthily track the potential targets of their violence....

The Commission expressed concern that companies are collecting vast troves of sensitive user data, which they fail to safeguard adequately. Many companies track various aspects of their customers’ lives online—often without their knowledge—and sell this data for a profit. To address this widespread and potentially unlawful practice, the FTC is inviting comments from the public. This process, officially called an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), signals an intent to make regulatory changes....

“After many years of discussions and building on the progress made last year, we have achieved a historic agreement on a more stable and fairer international tax architecture,” the finance ministers said in a joint statement. The G20 finance ministers have agreed to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation’s (OECD) proposed “two-pillar approach” that aims to ensure multinationals pay their fair share of tax in the countries they operate in, which forms the foundation of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) agreement....

In a joint statement, the G7 finance ministers said the tax rate would be used to target “the largest and most profitable multinational enterprises”. “It will include large profitable firms, and those firms, I believe, will qualify by almost any definition,” she said. Yellen added the agreement would “end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate taxation and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the US and around the world”....

There’s no question that the past two years have been challenging in many ways. However, the broader acceptance of remote work and the return to everyday travel has made it possible for folks to work further from home, or without a permanent one, for that matter. But to make the digital nomadic lifestyle work, you should consider owning a powerful, lightweight laptop, and an Apple MacBook Air could certainly fit the bill....
