Verizon might reap big iPhone harvest
Gary Kim has been a digital infra analyst and journalist for more than 30 years, covering the business impact of technology, pre- and post-internet. He sees a similar evolution coming with AI. General-purpose technologies do not come along very often, but when they do, they change life, economies and industries.
T-Mobile USA May Delay LTE Launch for Two Years
T-Mobile USA does not expect to offer any LTE services for at least the next couple of years and will instead rely on its HSPA+ network. That would be in line with the dominant trend globally, where operators are upgrading now to HSPA+ and getting ready for Long Term Evolution.
'We'll get a fourth-generation wireless network either by buying spectrum or re-farming existing spectrum, or potentially leasing spectrum together with others,' Chief Executive Officer Rene Obermann said. 'I don't think we'll trail others in the next two years.'

Hollywood Opposes Title II Reclassification
Hollywood studios and some major unions say reclassifiying broadband access as a Title II telecom service is not necessary to achieve the open Internet they also support, and is not a desirable method of achieving that public policy goal.
But if the commission does go the Title II route, they argued, there needs to be clear, enforceable rules that give broadband-access providers unambiguous guidance on how to design their networks to avoid online theft without fear of running afoul of the FCC's new regs.

Piracy is the big issue for The Motion Picture Association of America, the Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild of American, American Federation of Radio and Television Artists and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
Apparently the groups think Title II would make it harder for ISPs to combat piracy.

Hulu Serving 3x as Many Ads as YouTube
There are a number of reasons for the disparity. YouTube does not try to display ads on all its inventory, while Hulu tries to.
Hulu features professionally-produced, branded video content with high end user interest. Not all YouTube content is of sufficient quality or interest to create much of an ad opportunity.
Also, Google advertising on YouTube also leans toward banner ads and AdSense text advertising rather than video spots, as Hulu features.
