Big Blue is going green. IBM announced it is redirecting $1 billion per year across its businesses, mobilizing the company’s resources to dramatically increase the level of energy efficiency in IT.

The savings are substantial -- for an average 25,000 square foot data center, clients should be able to achieve 42 percent energy savings. Based on the energy mix in the US, this savings equates to 7,439 tons of carbon emissions saved per year....more  (0) Comments |

Both AT&T and Verizon have been utilizing fiber optic cabling to bring TV to customers' homes and to compete with cable companies. AT&T is getting some bad news on its U-verse TV system: not only is it costing $1.4 billion more than anticipated to install, but the firm's decision to use copper for the final leg into customers' homes is being called into question. AT&T said it will spend as much as $6.5 billion to deploy the TV service by 2008 and the company also cut the number of homes the service will initially serve by one million, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Both AT&T and Verizon Communication have been utilizing fiber optic cabling to bring TV to customers' home and to compete with cable companies, which have been taking away telephone service from the former Baby Bell companies....more (0) Comments |

Fixed WiMAX IC vendors have recently redirected their energies towards Mobile WiMAX, particularly in the second half of 2006 and into 2007, reports In-Stat. This represents a dramatic change, as the overwhelming majority of 2005 and 2006 WiMAX chipsets were Fixed WiMAX (802.16d)-compliant, with a very small percentage in 2006 representing chipsets used in early WiBro (mobile WiMAX-based) devices, the market research firm says. “Fujitsu, Intel, Sequans and Wavesat were the Fixed WiMAX baseband market leaders in 2005 and 2006; all have since shifted focus to Mobile WiMAX,” says Gemma Tedesco, In-Stat analyst. “In addition, Fixed WiMAX radio providers Sierra Monolithics and Analog Devices have announced Mobile WiMAX ICs.”...more (0) Comments |

More US consumers are familiar with the concept of green products and how their actions affect the environment than they were last year, according to a new survey.
As electronic and computer companies increasingly move toward greener products and recycling procedures, a 2007 ImagePowera Green Brands Survey shows a shift in U.S. consumer attitudes. "Green is no longer an issue marginalized to fanatical environmentalists," pollsters with WWP's Landor Associates, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates and Cohn & Wolfe, said in a prepared statement. "Nearly all Americans display green attitudes and behaviors versus a year ago."...more (0) Comments |
