2014-12-17 23:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: After years of gauging the environmental, medical, economic and political risks of hydraulic fracturing, Gov. Andrew M.

[Update, 9:30 p.m. | See the end of the post for an excerpt from the state health study that underpinned the decision.] It had been clear for years, as I wrote in 2012, that there was little political or economic impetus to act quickly, even though I felt (and still am convinced)...

Ericsson secures import ban on Xiaomi devices in India
2014-12-11 08:47:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) An Indian court has halted imports of handsets from China's largest smartphone maker, Xiaomi, in response to a complaint from Ericsson that the Chinese firm was using Ericsson's technology but refusing to pay royalties. The High Court of Delhi said Xiaomi products wouldn't be allowed into India and Xiaomi's main distributor, online retailer Flipkart, wouldn't be allowed to sell Xiaomi products as the court waits to hear Ericsson's complaint, Dow Jones reports. Court documents showed that the next hearing on the case is scheduled for 05 February. Xiaomi's lawyers are still looking into the court's order to decide what it means and what it will do next, said Manu Jain, Xiaomi's India operations head. He said the company is working with Ericsson to resolve the matter amicably. Xiaomi launched its first smartphone in India in July and captured 1.5 percent of the Indian smartphone market in the third quarter, according to Counterpoint Research. Xiaomi's global vice president, Hugo Barra, said late last month that Xiaomi had sold more than 500,000 devices in India by October. Ericsson said it has tried for years to get Xiaomi to pay a licensing fee for Ericsson technology used in Xiaomi mobile devices.
