#System Does occupied Wi-fi in TV Channels Internet providers have been hoping to get their hands on precious low frequency UHF channels unused by broadcast TV.
created the first device that allows Wireless internet in a UHF channel that is already occupied by a TV broadcast. nstead of all television or all wireless connection,
However, unused UHF channels, commonly referred to as TV white-spaces, are scarce. In big cities such as Houston, where the study was conducted,
In New york and Los angeles there are none. nstead of all television or all wireless connection how can we do both?
The Rice university engineers called their answer i-Fi in Active TV Channels or WATCH. They had to gain approval from the U s. Federal Communications Commission to test it.
whenever a viewer is not watching a TV channel. The system consists of a special Wi-fi transmitter
and requires a smart TV. The system could deliver 6 times as much data as white space schemes in use today Currently
TV towers occupy a whole channel no matter how many viewers are watching at a given time,
Xu Zhang. ven though these channels are being occupied by TV broadcasters most people use cable, satellite,
or Internet to watch television, he says. hat means these TV broadcasters are wasting spectrum.
But under the WATCH system, a user TV viewing information is sent to a spectrum database by smartphone remote control and smart TV.
This database updates the WATCH receiver telling it that it can cancel out the TV broadcast
The system then would move its data stream to a different channel to keep from interfering with the user TV viewing experience.
so Wi-fi streaming doesn interfere with their TV signal, says Zhang. If a next door neighbor wants to watch the channel WATCH is using to stream Wi-fi,
The engineers found that their system could provide six times as much wireless data4 megabits per seconds TV white-space systems in use today
There is a much larger need for Internet connectivity than television in developing countries, says James Carlson,

#Google s Unified Privacy Policy Draws Threat Of $15m Fine In The netherlands The national data protection authority in The netherlands has warned Google that it could be fined up to $15 million
to comply with Dutch data protection law. Google January 2012 decision to combine the privacy policies of some 60 different products in order for it to be able to gather more intel on webs users for targeting ads quickly triggered a data protection review in October 2012
led The french data protection watchdog. That action was followed by individual investigations by multiple data protection watchdogs in Europe with six member states,
including The netherlands, launching probes into Google handling of personal data in April last year. The Dutch data protection authority, the CBP, has evidently run out of patience with Google.
In a statement earlier this week, the CBP said it requires Google to gain unambiguous consent from users to combine multiple privacy policies across its products specifying that this consent cannot be gained by a general agreement to a privacy policy
but must be done ia a clear permission screen Google must also clearly explain what personal data is being obtained by which of its services and for what purpose,
and this information must be clearly and consistently conveyed in its privacy policy, it said.
The CBP is concerned also that Youbube be labeled clearly as a Google service albeit the Dutch DPA notes that Google seems to have taken already action on this point.
The CBP does add that Google has sent a letter to the six data protection authorities which launched reviews namely France, Germany, Italy, Spain,
