Universal Broadband “While the US talks, other countries are acting. Both Finland and Spain have now decided to add ‘broadband’ to their universal [telephone] service requirements.
"By 2011, any Finn or Spaniard, no matter where they live, should be able to get a reliable 1Mbps connection at a reasonable price,” ars technical.com reports.

'Staid Intel' meet 'social media'
Critics can say what they will, but when you drop $4 million in a single night entertaining your customers, you want reassurance that you got what you paid for. And so it was for staid, scientific Intel on its first date with the saucy social media during Super Bowl 44.
And since pre-pubescent squealers aren’t the top-of-mind audience as prime microprocessor buyers, Intel must believe that a more adult, sophisticated and technologically savvy market may reside on the social net — at least from time to time.
“Intel Corp. executives are monitoring social networks like Facebook and Twitter to gauge consumer reaction” to two commercials it ran during the bowl, according to Computerworld. “Intel’s marketing department will be monitoring the social networks to determine whether the commercials were a hit among viewers.”
This is Intel’s first time monitoring the social networks, which began during the game and will continued for an unspecified time, Intel told the magazine.
