An irregular view on the emerging Internet technologies. Thursday, December 13, 2012. Will the 4G Auction exceed £3.5bn? Tuesday, December 04, 2012. Guess who will ultimately pay Amazon’s UK Taxes? Has been eroded by the Internet and in no small part in the role taken by both Amazon and Google. So I would not necessarily jump to the conclusion that we would be better off if the HMRC managed to get more out of the likes of Amazon and Google. Labels: Amazon. PAYE. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

An irregular view on the emerging Internet technologies. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. 4G licences only raise £2.34 billion in auction. The value of these licences should have achieved far beyond the Office of Budget Responsibilities own projection of £3.5bn, let alone the £2,34bn delivered. Everything Everywhere, Hutchison 3G UK, Telefonica (O2), Vodafone (VOD) and BT (BT.A)'s Niche Spectrum Ventures secured the 4G licences. Given that the UK is one the largest mobile internet markets and combined with t.

An irregular view on the emerging Internet technologies. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Is BT Infinity worth the hassle? Today BT installed BT's flagship product BT Infinity to our property. I was looking forward to superfast broadband as promised by BT's adverts. Unfortunately the service comes with a number of faults. When I finally did get through I was told that they could not schedule an engineer visit until next week! To cap it all Gnesh then dropped the line again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

An irregular view on the emerging Internet technologies. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Does Searle’s Chinese Room argument establish that the mind is not a computer program? During the 1950s, Alan Turing proposed a simple test to evaluate whether a machine is making an adequate simulation of the human mind. The ‘Turing Test’ states that ‘if a computer can pass for a human in online chat, we should grant that it is intelligent’. This leads us to divide AI into four specific categories:-. The program may be ...
