What began as a slight difference of opinion between the French government and some big US headquartered Internet companies, such as Apple, Google, Yahoo and their gargantuan ilk, has quickly escalated into full-on belligerence with the French Minister of Culture and Communications, Aurelie Filippetti, accusing Amazon of "destroying bookshops".

The nub of the new CEO's new plan for Alcatel-Lucent is to husband dwindling cash reserves whist re-orienting the company as a "multi-specialist" organisation. The question then is how will it prevent itself from mutating back into a re-iteration of what it used to be: a generalist? By Martyn Warwick. (3)

So now we know; the PR blitz and the hype surrounding the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 in the US was just so much hot air and wishful thinking. Sales of the new device have been dismal and shares in the company formerly known as RIM are once more in steep decline. Martyn Warwick reports. (3)

Strong, undenied rumours have it that this summer (should the UK and the US ever see such a season again), Vodafone will either sell its 45 per cent holding in Verizon Communications or merge with the US carrier. Both Verizon's and Vodafone's share prices are rising, and, in Vodafone's case anyway, it's high time it was. Martyn Warwick reports. (1)

And then there was one... what a farce! Fujitsu, knowing that it highly unlikely to win anything but a booby prize, has decided not to bother to bid for any of the UK taxpayer money available to bring broadband to benighted swathes of rural Blighty. Instead the incumbent telco, BT, will now get what remains of the £530 million that is still left on the table, always provided it can be bothered to turn up to claim the cash. Isn't competition wonderful? By Martyn Warwick. (1)

Big Data holds enormous potential for the global ICT industry, but as a new research report shows, in the wrong hands it could lead first to insidious but, later, overwhelming control of the consumer followed by the imposition of an all-but-invisible but very real digital tyranny.

According to Hewlett Packard (HP), the UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is investigating HP's insistent but remarkably vague allegations of "accounting improprieties" at Autonomy, the British software company it acquired in 2011. Well, it might have been, for about five weeks, until it found a reason why it couldn't. Martyn Warwick reports. (0)

"It's capitalism Jim, but not as we know it". What a turn up for the books! The telecoms regulator in the Czech Republic, the CTU, has stopped the country's runaway mobile spectrum auction in its tracks - because it adjudges the bids as being TOO HIGH! By Martyn Warwick. (0)

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. It is with the most profound and deepest regret that TelecomTV has to report to a weeping world that Stephen Elop, the CEO of the floundering Finnish handset maker Nokia, was forced to take a 45 per cent wage cut in 2012. Martyn Warwick wonders how he managed to make ends meet on a mere €4.33 million. (0)

Rene Obermann, a sixteen-year veteran with Germany's national carrier, seven of the as CEO, is leaving Deutsche Telekom and moving to a smallish Dutch cableco, Ziggo. It's all very civilised and carefully planned, but, beneath all the smiles, bonhomie and apparent absence of rancour, DT's Supervisory Board must be fearful for the future, as Martyn Warwick reports.

Google Glass now being hyped as the hippest thing on the planet but the technology that, we are told, will supplant and replace those old-fahioned and emasculating smartphones, could be put to some unacceptable uses in the years to come. Action needs to be taken now to ensure that they never become a despot's device of choice. Martyn Warwick reports. (1)

Well, bang goes another myth. The Mounties don't always get their man. After a six month trial the three defendants in the Nortel fraud case have been acquitted of any criminal wrongdoing. And they get to keep the US$12.8 million in bonuses they were paid to bring the company back to financial health. For them the operation was financially highly successful even though the patient died. But then, shit happens, as Martyn Warwick reports. (2)

Instagram has found out the hard way that it is foolish to over-exploit its users and mess with their rights after more than 8 million deserted the site in just a month. Seems it was all a "misunderstanding". Martyn Warwick reports. (1)
