      Opera Offers Mobile Browsing

      Users of smart phones equipped with Nokias Series 60 software running on top of the Symbian operating system can download a mobile phone browser featuring small-screen rendering technology from Opera Software. The availability of the Opera mobile browser for Series 60-based phones follows the February launch of the companys small-screen rendering, or SSR.

The Commission has also approved national roaming agreements between licensed network operators, as this will “benefit consumers by allowing operators to offer better and quicker coverage,” the Commission said in a statement. Roaming between operators will exclude the ten largest cities in the U.K., where operators will each be obliged to build their own networks. National roaming in smaller cities will be exempt from competition rules until the end of 2007, and rural areas will be exempt until the end of 2008, the Commission said.

      Riding the Airwaves

      After years of neglect, datacasting — a decades-old technology that delivers bits of information over radio and TV using the public broadcast spectrum — is drawing unprecedented interest from powerful players in the media and technology industries. Walt Disney plans a major datacasting trial this fall. The company will test a video-on-demand service that will use the broadcast facilities of its ABC network to send hundreds of hours of movie programming in digital form to be recorded on hard drives for playback on TV sets. In the last decade, technology improvements and the advent of digital TV have also boosted TVs datacasting capacity, from a few kilobits to more than 4mbps — well above the requirements needed to support Disneys envisioned video-on-demand service.
