Free tests blocking Google AdWords on Freebox
2013-01-04 09:48:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French ISP Free has introduced the beta version of software to block online ads, a controversial move being called "Adgate". Le Monde reports that the system was activated by default in a 3 January software upgrade for the Freebox STB/modem and starts working when customers restart the device. Free's 5.3 million broadband customers do not have the possibility of setting up a "white list" of websites where they are happy to see ads. PC Inpact writes that the ad blocking software works with all operating systems, eliminates Google AdWord spaces and some links. Banners are affected on some other sites, but this is aleatory and some are less affected than others, according to PC Inpact. Free, which wants Google and others to pay for access to its customers, told ZDNet that adblockers are legal and even promoted on Chrome and other browsers.

Google agrees to change practices to resolve FTC concerns
2013-01-04 08:41:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Google has agreed to change some of its business practices to resolve Federal Trade Commission concerns that those practices could stifle competition in the markets for popular devices such as smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles, as well as the market for online search advertising. Under a settlement reached with the FTC, Google will meet its prior commitments to allow competitors access to patents on critical standardised technologies needed to make smartphones, laptop and tablet computers and gaming consoles. In a separate letter to the Commission, Google has agreed to give online advertisers more flexibility to simultaneously manage ad campaigns on Google's AdWords platform and on rival ad platforms and to refrain from misappropriating online content from so-called "vertical" websites that focus on specific categories such as shopping or travel for use in its own vertical offerings.
