Digital revolution is rapidly grow so that has consequences to all users, it can fulfill all which they think as according to their need, undeniable that the internet network bloom very fast from developed countries up to poor countries and today we see report from Britain, how do they overcome it.

Millions of persons want internet, whether they are employee, working online, student or housewife uses internet to pay claim or simply contact friends and family, fast internet connection and economical, now most of people want internet network as main needed.

The same as like to build another infrastructure, some developed countries this last century like US, Canadian, UK or Australian, their government build to help people so now all can enjoy it.

The Industrial Revolution, has helped Britain to become the workshop of the world, so investment now in the information and communications industries can underpin their emergence from recession to recovery and cement the UK’s position as a global economic powerhouse.

Today the Government will publish its Digital Britain report, which firmly places the digital economy centre stage as it is core to the future industrial capability, the UK’s digital economy at present accounts for about 8 per cent of national income, its continued development fundamental to the productivity and innovative capacity of so many other sectors and, with that, the creation and protection of hundreds of thousands of jobs being to top priority.

I believe that Britain’s digital infrastructure determined to be world class then be example to other country so that everybody can mutual share or following development technology, helping they come out from economy crisis etc.

MySpace Lays Off Staffers by 30%

Posted on 18 Jun 2009 at 10:30am

MySpace, a social network is owned by News Corporation, is cutting number of the company’s staff members to reduce costs in a bid to return to a state that it calls as a “startup culture.”

The company said the cut will affect all American divisions of the company and lower the total number of staffers to around 1,000, which is meant to return to an environment of innovation that is centered on the company’s user and product.

MySpace has expanded too big considering the realities of today’s marketplace, so it is believed that this restructuring will help MySpace operate much more effectively both structurally and financially moving forward, and there has been a confidence in MySpace’s next phase under the new leadership and team.

According to comScore, Facebook recently matched MySpace in traffic in the United States - the one country where MySpace, with 70 million members, still had an advantage.

Users are leaving MySpace, the site’s performance is poor compared with rival services and its brand is becoming synonymous with one of those perpetually declining Internet properties like AOL.

Layar, as it’s called, runs on Android and aggregates the data from the cellphone’s compass and GPS coordinates to understand where you’re standing and what you’re looking at.

BenQ to Hold IPO in One or Two Years

Posted on 18 Jun 2009 at 5:27am

Taiwanese company BenQ which produces laptop computers, cameras and projectors, has planned to carry out an initial public offering (IPO) in the next one or two years.

BenQ has sold the company’s products mostly in the Asian and European markets, and has strived to spread its wing out from the United States.

Although BenQ is a hardware manufacturer and not a kind of Web 2.0, the company displays some of the corporate culture elements that are often associated with Google.

The company has several slogans like “enjoyment matters” and “cool brand and caring.” Its employees stroll around the Taipei headquarters in purple and white T-shirts designed during “family days” and other bonding events. And when staffers show up to work for their first day, they receive a pair of slippers for walking around the office.

BenQ is a spin-off from Acer, and the company’ss brand came to life in 2001. Since then, the company has had its fair share of ups and downs.

On the advantage side, BenQ makes some slick products, including tiny projectors and original takes on PCs. On the downside, BenQ has endured some unsuccessful runs at the mobile phone market - including acquiring Siemens’ mobile phone business in 2005 and then letting it go under.

BenQ has spent much money during the past few years on advertising. It has sponsored major football clubs and tournaments in Europe and Asia, creating a prominent brand out of thin air.

Along with its flashy brand, BenQ claims an edge over competitors through its display-centric view of the world. Be it netbooks, laptop computers or phones, the company tries to focus giving consumers the most visual bang for their buck.

About 45% of BenQ’s revenue comes from China while 25% from the rest of Asia, 20% from Europe and 10% coming from the Americas.

BenQ is a private company today so the company has refused to dixlose its annual revenue, but it hopes to go public soon.
