P1's Wimax subscriber base hits 80,000
(Telecompaper) Malaysian Wimax services provider Packet One has seen the number of subscribers reach 80,000, one year after rolling out its P1 Wimax broadband service. P1 has also maintained an ARPU above MYR 85. The company plans to introduce new services in the future such as voice over Wimax and within a few years P1 expects to further support Wimax-enabled laptops and mobile internet devices. P1 acquired one of Malaysia's four Wimax licenses in March 2007. Following this, the company began a series of strategic alliances with the aim to be the first to launch Wimax services in Malaysia. In May 2008, through its parent company, Green Packet, P1 secured a MYR 50 million investment from Intel. Services were launched in August 2008. P1 expects to deliver 35 percent population coverage by 2009, and 65 percent by 2012.

Orascom Telecom H1 revenue down 2.3% to USD 2.48 bln
(Telecompaper) Mobile operator Orascom Telecom's first-half revenues fell 2.3 percent over the previous year to USD 2.48 billion, which the company put down to currency devaluations in key operations. EBITDA fell 3.5 percent to USD 1.1 billion, and net income was also down, at USD 184 million from USD 276 million a year ago. The sharp decline was mainly due to unrealised foreign exchange losses and hedge losses in Pakistan for a total of approximately USD 65 million. The regional Arab mobile operator said total subscribers exceeded 84 million at end-June, an increase of 8.7 percent compared with more than 80 million at the end of March. This was driven by customer growth in Egypt (31%), Bangladesh (17%) and Tunisia (13%). ARPU was USD 6.0 in the second quarter, compared to USD 5.8 in the first quarter. CEO Naguib Sawiris said the first half was characterised by a weak first quarter followed by a stronger Q2, but warned that the economic environment is still challenging and the company

Sony unveils Reader Daily Edition in US
(Telecompaper) Sony has launched the third member of its new Reader family called the Reader Daily Edition, a wireless model with 3G connectivity.

Is constant Facebooking, Twittering, IMing taking its toll on attention spans?
According to a new study released by a group of Stanford University researchers Tuesday, people who regularly deal with several streams of electronic information simultaneously do not pay attention, control their memory, or switch from one job to another any better than those who prefer to complete one task at a time. Actually, they fare much worse. The study, whose findings are published in the 24 August edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, involved about 100 students being put through three tests. In each, the researchers split participants into two groups: those who regularly do a lot of media multitasking and those who don't.

Nokia Money to launch in early 2010
(Telecompaper) Nokia will introduce its mobile financial service Nokia Money next week at the annual Nokia World event in Stuttgart, Germany. The service will be rolled out gradually to selected markets, starting from early 2010. Nokia is building a wide network of Nokia Money agents, where consumers can deposit money in or withdraw cash from their stored value accounts. Operated in cooperation with mobile payment services Obopay, in which Nokia invested earlier this year, the service is based on Obopay's mobile payment platform and includes newly developed functions. Nokia intends to create a service which will be interoperable with other payment services as well. With Nokia Money, users will be able to send money to another person just by using the person's mobile phone number, as well as to pay merchants for goods and services, pay their utility bills, or recharge their prepaid Sim cards. Nokia Money is the result of a collaboration Nokia is forging between different partners in dif

Three parties in talks to buy Tele Columbus - report
(Telecompaper) At least three interested parties are involved in talks to acquire troubled German cable network operator Tele Columbus, part of the Orion Cable holding company, reports the Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) citing unnamed sources. The interested parties are believed to include German fixed-network operator Versatel, German cable network operator Kabel Deutschland (KDG) and US financial investor Blackstone. The acquisition of Tele Columbus would allow DSL provider Versatel to enter the cable TV market. With a hybrid network consisting of DSL connections and the around 2 million homes connected to the Tele Columbus network, Versatel would have a fixed network to rival those of Vodafone and United Internet. Tele Columbus is troubled by almost EUR 1 billion of debt. FTD sources indicate that the interested parties are only willing to pay around EUR 450 million for Tele Columbus, a sum considered way too low by its owners and banks.
