German regulator approves vectoring deployment
2013-08-29 20:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The German network regulator BNA has published the definitive decision for the introduction of vectoring on Telekom Deutschland's (V)DSL network. The decision enables Telekom Deutschland to deploy vectoring technology in its (V)DSL network offering much higher broadband speeds and was met with approval from the European Commission. As vectoring can only be deployed in the so-called serving area interface or street cabinets and is incompatible with LLU (local loop unbundling), Telekom has to offer access to the vectoring service via special bitstream services to its competitors to ensure a level playing field.

The BBC writes that as a result of the settlement, some 614,000 Facebook users whose personal details appeared in ads on the site without their permission will receive a payout of USD 15 each. Child rights groups argued that minors' content should be shared with advertisers. Under the deal Facebook will pay USD 20 million to the plaintiffs and pledged to give users more control over the way in which their content is shared.
