Dutch court overturns ACM decision on termination rate cuts
2013-08-27 12:22:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Dutch corporate appeals court (CBb) has overturned regulator ACM's decision to lower fixed and mobile termination rates. The ACM earlier this month confirmed the cut in rates from 01 September, prompting court appeals from KPN, Vodafone and T-Mobile, Tele2 and a group including UPC, Ziggo, Verizon, Esprit and BT. The court imposed new tariff caps of 1.861 eurocents per minute for mobile and 0.302 cents per minute for fixed. These will apply as an interim measure, until it gives a final ruling on the case. The main issue to be examined is the use of the Pure Bulric or Bulric Plus methodology in calculating the rates, the same as when the previous round of termination rate cuts ended up in court. In a first reaction, the ACM called the decision bad for consumers and businesses, who pay the bills in the end. The ACM decision would have seen rates fall from 2.4 cents to 1.019 cents per minute for mobile termination and from 0.370 cents to 0.108 cents per minute for fixed. These would apply from three years.

Court approves USD 20 mln Facebook advertising settlement
2013-08-27 09:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Facebook has secured a San Francisco court's final approval for its USD 20 million settlement of a lawsuit over targeted advertising, despite critics seeing the deal as falling short in protecting childrens' privacy, Reuters reports. The BBC writes that as a result of the settlement, some 614,000 Facebook users whose personal details appeared in ads on the site without their permission will receive a payout of USD 15 each. Child rights groups argued that minors' content should be shared with advertisers. Under the deal Facebook will pay USD 20 million to the plaintiffs and pledged to give users more control over the way in which their content is shared.
