Ericsson to pump "tens of millions" of pounds into creating a new research and development hub in the UK that will develop 6G technology, standards and infrastructure.

The next-generation technology will be expected to “contribute to a more intelligent, sustainable and efficient society" that can drive the merger of physical and digital, according to a statement.

Ericsson pumps millions into UK 6G

The next-generation 6G mobile network will need to be more sustainable, reliable and secure, says Ericsson as it announces UK investment.

Apple and Google have a “vice-like grip” on the mobile browser ecosystem, the UK’s consumer watchdog says. Which? was responding to the new Competition Markets Authority (CMA) investigation into the alleged duopoly. #google #apple #browser

Apple and Google have a ‘duopoly’ over mobile browsers – CMA

The competition regulator will look at the impact of Big Tech's browser dominance and could take action against the tech giants.

For the older Brits here is a quick graphic to demonstrate when to use the new prefix for numbers with 27 zeroes (10^27 and 10^-27) - the Ronna and Ronno.
For no other reason than it is Tuesday - here is an AI generated image of a dog in a spacesuit. #aiart #dog #space

The Earth weighs about six ronnagram, Jupiter about two quettagram and the diameter of the observable universe is about one ronnametre. Those are the new SI prefixes representing ronna (10^27) and quetta (10^30).

At the other end you have the ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30). A ronto is useful for expressing the flux density of a radio emission (Jansky) which is 10^-26 Watts Metre^-2 Hertz^-1.

Data has got so big that new units of measurement are needed for the first time in 30 years

New prefixes have been approved for big numbers with 27 and 30 digits. They are needed as data use booms across industry.

Over the next decade humanity will be taking to space like never before, with multiple commercial space stations and thousands of satellites planned for low Earth orbit.

This will also see an infrastructure of data centres, edge computing and processing emerge to service that economy, and some of tech’s biggest names are keen to take advantage. https://techmonitor.ai/technology/emerging-technology/data-centres-eu-big-tech-microsoft #space #computing #edge

The European Union - and Big Tech - want to move data centres into space

The EU - and tech's biggest names - are investigating the possibility of moving data centres into orbit. The benefits could be substantial.

The name@publisher pattern has limitations... journos may prefer IDs that span multiple concurrent publishers, and that will outlast any one contract.

The pattern I think we'll more likely see emerge: journos use most convenient host, publications authenticate them via rel="me" as employees, and users follow individuals and/or news@publication (which boosts their staff's material).
