Android in Trouble, Google Found Guilty of Copying Java Code
From the Blog ProPakistani: Android in Trouble, Google Found Guilty of Copying Java Code - Android in Trouble, Google Found Guilty of Copying Java Code is a post from: ProPakistani Oracle sued Google last year for infringing on copyrights and patents related to Java, which Oracle acquired along with Sun Microsystems. Oracle's case got stronger this week when Florian Mueller, a intellectual property activist, proved that Google copied at least 43 Android source files from Java. With this development, lawsuit becomes a simple and easy case to prove when Google used 37 Android source files marked "PROPRIETARY / CONFIDENTIAL" and "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" by Oracle / Sun and at least six more files in Froyo and Gingerbread that appear to have been decompiled from Java 2 Standard Edition and redistributed under the Apache open source license without permission. This is not a threat to Android lovers or Google alone, but billions of dollars of various handset manufacturers (including HTC, Samsung) may land into trouble as well. Though, there are reports that these copied files were just for test and are not important for the core OS, however, Oracle seems confident of winning the case. In case Oracle wins, it might ask Google for a per-handset royalty on every Android handset shipped.

CEO Mobilink
From the Blog ProPakistani: 11 Pakistanis Go Mobile Every Minute: CEO Mobilink - 11 Pakistanis Go Mobile Every Minute: CEO Mobilink is a post from: ProPakistani "Every minute roughly 11 Pakistanis become a part of the cellular community. More than 430,000 SMS messages and 160,000 voice minutes are being exchanged even now as I speak," said Rashid Khan, President and CEO Mobilink, Pakistan's market leader in cellular services, at the ceremony to mark the completion of 100 million cellular subscribers in Pakistan. Khan said, "This is not only a moment of joy for us gathered here but also a reaffirmation to the common Pakistani man and woman that access to technology is not a privilege limited to the elite, but a right that is available to them – that is accessible and affordable." Highlighting the contribution of the telecommunications sector in the country's growth and development, Khan said, the sector contributes 3% to the country's GDP whereas the total telecom sector revenue reached at Rs. 357.7 billion in the year 2009-10 compared to Rs. 333 billion in the previous year. This is despite the fact that the cellular industry in Pakistan is paying the highest taxes in comparison to the entire region. Incomes of 6 out of every 1,000 persons in Pakistan are tied with the telecom sector, he added. Khaled Bichara, Group CEO of Orascom Telecom Holding, Mobilink's parent company and Egypt's largest foreign investor in Pakistan was also present at the ceremony. Bichara congratulated Dr. Muhammad Yaseen, Chairman Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) and the industry stakeholders on accomplishing this historic milestone.

Etisalat was in Buyout Talks with Nayatel/Micronet
From the Blog ProPakistani: Etisalat was in Buyout Talks with Nayatel/Micronet - Etisalat was in Buyout Talks with Nayatel/Micronet is a post from: ProPakistani Etisalat was in takeover talks with Nayatel, a local internet service provider based in Islamabad/Rawalpindi, reported Reuters . Nayatel confirmed ProPakistani that Etisalat was indeed in talks with Nayatel for buyout of its DSL/Fiber-optic operations. However, talks remained inconclusive and are over now due to price differences from both the sides. Local internet service provider companies are facing tough competition from PTCL, probably a reason that Micronet had to close its broadband operations for at least 3 exchanges in Islamabad recently. When asked by ProPakistani about possible merger with any other ISP in Pakistan, company said that it won't merge/sell its operations with any local operator. However, it might consider a foreign but potentially strong investor. Nayatel is hoping to expand its domestic business beyond Islamabad and Rawalpindi to Lahore and Pakistan's biggest city, Karachi, which has an estimated population of 18 million. Earlier, quoting Mr. Rashid Khan, the chairman of Nayatel, Reuters had reported that Etisalat wanted to buyout DSL and fiber-optic internet operations of Nayatel. According to Reuters, annual sales among its 7,000 customers top $12 million, said Khan, with revenue growth of 40-50 percent a year.
