BT is calling on the communications watchdog to let it scrap the traditional telephone network, as part of a campaign to loosen regulations that it says will help telecoms companies compete better with US internet companies such as Apple and Facebook.

The telecoms giant is planning to move all domestic and business customers to internet-based voice calls within a decade, but under current Ofcom rules must continue to provide a traditional phone service.

Il Ministro Paolucci, circolare numero 50 del 7/6/1995

Ci sono alcuni dettagli e chiarimenti per cui è bene leggersi la circolare :  Download Circolare50-7giugno1995 (pdf)

Ringrazio il sottosegretario Ilaria Borletti e gli uffici del Ministero dei beni culturali che hanno trovato e mi hanno inviato copia della circolare

(durante il barcamp "Wikipedia arriva in Italia. E l'Italia su Wikipedia?"  tenutosi alla Camera l'altro ieri Federico Morando del centro Nexa aveva detto che pareva esistesse una circolare, non rintracciabile online in quanto pre-internet, ipotizzando fosse la 50 del 1996, invece gli uffici la hanno trovata ed è del 1995)

Youtube toglie nome a un ragazzo per darlo a un brand omonimo "non è colpa nostra, la decisione è stata di un algoritmo"

A popular video blogger has hit out at cosmetics brand Lush after he lost control of a YouTube address he had been using since 2005.

Matthew Lush said fans seeking out his channel were now being redirected to the beauty brand instead.

The company told the BBC it had not requested the change but would not say if it would give the address back.

Google said it was "sympathetic" to Mr Lush's situation and that the decision was made by an algorithm.

Mr Lush, who has 10 times as many YouTube subscribers as the soap brand, told the BBC he felt "betrayed".
