"The television model is broken and needs to be reinvented," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "I see Aereo continuing to chip away at that broken television model. I don't think this is the end of the Aereo story. I think this is just the end of one chapter. Time for chapter two." ...

We've been hearing all about these amazing new smartwatches. They are the remote control for our smartphones. They make doing regular tasks quicker and easier. They are said to be the most exciting new product since the smartphone. If that's the case, then why have they not taken off yet? ...

"Google will lose out on quite a bit of ad revenue," telecom expert Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "On the other hand, it will also attract new ad revenue because of this move. Apparently Google thinks the new ad revenue will be greater than what they will lose. Also, ...

Do you remember those snotty little kids who didn't seem to understand the difference between right and wrong? You know, the little brats who thought the rules didn't apply to them. The kids who thought they could get away with whatever they wanted -- rules were for somebody else. Well, that seems to be a fitting description of Facebook, as it repeatedly breaks customer trust and invades its users' privacy...

Nest Labs may offer cool technology, but do we really want Google or anyone knowing everything that goes on in our homes? Home automation may indeed be a double-edged sword. Today, like children, we are excited and amazed at how tech can accomplish simple tasks. Will we still be happy down the road, when it crosses the line and invades our privacy?...

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son may have new hope for a Sprint, T-Mobile merger. After SoftBank merged with Sprint last summer, Son set his sights on T-Mobile.

"Typically, today, when the big phones come out, they're available from all the carriers," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told TechNewsWorld. Then again, there has not been a brand new device like this in a while. This could be one of those big moments, like when the iPhone was introduced. This could be that kind of event where if you have a single carrier, it generates a kind of excitement because it creates a more limited availability. Whether or not Amazon was trying to follow Apple's playbook, I think it'll be successful, because we don't see much of this anymore. If it was available from all the carriers, it wouldn't be that special." ...

"I think there's probably less they're going to be concerned about with an AT&T-DirecTV merger than with a Comcast-Time Warner merger, for example," telecom analyst Jeff Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "AT&T is a telephone, wireless and Internet company, and DirecTV is a sat...

I think the European Union often goes overboard, and I typically don't agree with its rulings. However, when the EU declared Google invaded privacy, it seemed to have struck a nerve. Countless users worldwide agreed. So, what impact will the EU have on Google with respect to a citizen's right to be forgotten? ...

There is growing interest in the cloud. It sounds absolutely perfect for both consumers and businesses. Some are jumping in -- so why isn't everyone? There are many pros and cons. Many use it successfully to build and manage their growing business, but many others fall victim to problems ...

Change is good. Industry consolidation seems to come in waves, and the next wave seems to be starting. Together, AT&T and DirecTV will be a strong new competitor in the pay-television space. That's great. Unless traditional cable-TV companies get their act together, this merger could be another nail in their coffin ...
