Microsoft launches OneApp for emerging market mobile users
(Telecompaper) Microsoft has launched the OneApp software application to allow so-called feature phones, which can run some apps but lack the capabilities of smartphones, to run popular apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Windows Live Messenger. In the past, developers have found creating feature phone applications difficult due to the wide variety of handsets and operating systems. OneApp allows independent software vendors to develop an application once, and have it reach a wider audience and work on all feature phones that have OneApp installed, rather than developing and maintaining an app for 50 or 100 different kinds of handsets. OneApp's launch partner is South African operator Blue Label Telecoms, which will offer the "mibli" service to customers serving as a test bed before the product is extended to other emerging markets. The operator's Mobile Wallet application will become accessible to subscribers without smartphones. OneApp will complement Microsoft's Windows Mobile strate

Facebook wants to double the number of faces on the payroll
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to increase the company's head count by as much as 50 per cent this year. The young founder said in an interview with Bloomberg that since there are a significant number of engineers and developers looking for work, Facebook - still flush with venture funding, and with revenues on the rise - can scoop them up. As you may recall, Facebook had aimed to hit 1,000 employees by the end of 2008, but the market crash stalled that aim. The company currently has 1,000 employees, the Bloomberg article said.

UK govt publishes new proposals to tackle P2P file sharing
(Telecompaper) The UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has published new proposals to allow for swifter and more flexible measures to combat illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. It is seeking views on the idea of empowering the Secretary of State to direct Ofcom to introduce technical measures to clamp down on piracy, if necessary. This would be included in the forthcoming Digital Economy Bill and would oblige ISPs to take action against individual, repeat infringers. This action could involve blocking access to download sites, reducing broadband speeds or temporarily suspending their internet connections. The government is keen for action to be taken earlier due to the pressure put on the creative industries by piracy. It is considering adding internet account suspension to the list of technical measures that could be used only as a last resort against the hard core of copyright pirates. To give stakeholders time to provide feedback on the new proposals, the go
