    All major France ISP provide a set-top box for their customers that does DSL modem-router, WiFi access point, TV and telephone. The WiFi access point also provides a hotspot service for the neighborhoods. I guess it explains the high numbers.

  5. Good patent on Disney Patents a Piracy Free Search Engine · · Score: 1

    The real invention that should have been patented here is the trick to force users into using a search engine that returns "unpopular" pages. Or in other words, the invention that push users toward non pirated content.

    In the meantime, Italians and other European citizen are stripped from basic democratic rights, with austerity policies being enforced without the will of the Peoples, and with no way to cast a vote to stop them.

  16. Next revolution on Hungary To Tax Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Since some US officials said they were dissatisfied with government of Hungary, we must now expect some colored revolution to throw away the constitutional government. What will the CIA choose to ignite the thing? Perhaps an internet tax?

  25. 100 employers? on Only 100 Cybercrime Brains Worldwide, Says Europol Boss · · Score: 1
