It's not just the pros who want control. Over the weekend the NCAA ejected a Louisville Courier-Journal reporter from a college baseball championship for live-blogging the game. Brian Bennet reports that he had been posting updates throughout the game on his Courier-Journal blog, until, at the bottom of the fifth inning, "an NCAA representative came to my seat on press row and asked for my credential and asked me to leave. I complied."

Apparently, according to a memo NCAA circulated, the college athletic association believes that live-blogging interferes with its revenue streams from broadcast licenses:

The College World Series Media Coordination staff along with the NCAA Broadcasting group needs to remind all media coordinators that any statistical or other live representation of the Super Regional games falls under the exclusive broadcasting and Internet rights granted to the NCAA's official rights holders and therefore is not allowed by any other entity. Since blogs are considered a live representation of the game, any blog that has action photos or game reports, including play-by-play, scores or any in-game updates, is specifically prohibited. In essence, no blog entries are permitted between the first pitch and the final out of each game.

Now there are legal and policy questions here: First off, this wasn't a copyright or misappropriation claim. If the reporter had watched or listened to a broadcast and blogged details from there, the NCAA would have no claim against him (see NBA v. Motorola, where the basketball association lost just such a claim). It can't claim ownership of the facts, even if it currently makes money from selling privileged access to the facts.

Instead, the NCAA was clamping down on the data through a claimed right to control physical access to the game, at least to the press box. Was the NCAA within its legal rights to revoke a press credential? Probably. The NCAA has no obligation to issue press credentials, and apart from anti-discrimination law, can condition them on whatever arbitrary terms it likes. But David Price points out another twist: The University of Louisville, where the game was played, is a public institution, subject to First Amendment limitations on the speech-limiting rules it can impose. Can it ban speech or allow others to do so on its space based on claimed disruption to a business deal? Does it depend whether a baseball stadium is a "public forum"? (Under current law, it's probably not.)

Finally, there's the policy. Even if banning bloggers is legally permissible, it;s silly. Silly of the NCAA to think it can keep up this kind of control, silly of licensees to see blogs as a substitute to what they're licensing, and silly of schools to endorse and accept such policies for their student athletes' games. Exclusivity of facts is unlikely to last long in practice, as the Courier-Journal reports: "The Oregonian newspaper in Portland decided to work around the rules by blogging Oregon State's game against Michigan on Sunday off a radio broadcast in its newsroom, said its executive editor, Peter Bhatia. He said the newspaper heard no objections from the NCAA and planned to do the same yesterday."

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast I'll be demonstrating the NAD Sadhana app.

Now I did do a podcast on this in 2021.

So today is going to be about revisiting the app, because since my podcast in 2021, the app has undergone major changes when it comes to accessibility, like when it comes to features as well as accessibility improvements, simply user interface and all that great stuff.

And the developers really committed when it comes to accessibility, which is really great to see.

And what this app basically does, it basically listens to you and according to your singing, it will improvise.

The app is primarily based for Indian classical musicians, but the cool thing is that it also has styles for Western music as well.

And so you can say it's not…

Sheilagh Matheson raises a glass or two.

“Udaan’s financial performance for FY23-24 reflects its commitment to building a robust, profitable and resilient business. With revenue reaching INR 5,700 crores for FY23-24, we have made significant strides toward profitability, reducing EBITDA burn by 40% year-on-year to ~INR 900 crores,” said Kiran Thadimarri, SVP Finance, Udaan in a LinkedIn post.

Commenting on competing with quick commerce platforms, Nayar said that Nykaa’s quick delivery initiative is targeted towards fast-moving everyday SKUs. “For us to continue to dominate market share in these SKUs, it is important to be competitive in certain metros from a quick delivery assortment. This is being addressed by our quick delivery initiative Nykaa Now.”

Adwaita and Anchit Nayar, leaders at Nykaa, highlight their complementary roles in driving the company's success. They share insights on India's consumer tech and quick commerce growth, Nykaa's rapid expansion in warehouse capacity, and plans for same-day or next-day delivery, leveraging their efficient capital use and market competition to build the category.

Revenue from operations in the reporting period rose 24% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 1,875 crore. The company posted an EBITDA growth of 29% YoY to Rs 104 crore in the reporting quarter, while margins improved 18 bps to 5.5%.

In his role, Dabas will foresee Nykaa Fashion’s online growth strategy, expand its global footprint, and build strategic partnerships—including current alliances with fashion retailers like Foot Locker and Revolve aiming at building brand presence in the fashion e-commerce space.

In the right hands, the acoustic guitar becomes a world of sound that transgresses the limitations of the instrument and the role as mere accompaniment. Genres become blurred and suddenly the strings start to sing instead of the troubadour. Or perhaps more correctly, the instrument becomes an extension of the guitarist, and the strings tell stories that seem to come out of everywhere and nowhere... [ read more ]

Today on Q with Tom Power: author Catherine Hernandez and composer M. M. Keeravaani

T-Mobile heeft de bereikbaarheid van haar glasvezel dienstverlening deze week in één klap uitgebreid met meer dan 310.000 adressen. Nadat de provider eerder al een overeenkomst sloot met DELTA Fiber voor het leveren van glasvezeldiensten op elkaars netwerken, is nu een vergelijkbare deal gesloten met Glaspoort.

De tarieven voor internet en tv zijn in vijf jaar tijd met bijna 24 procent gestegen. Jaar op jaar voeren providers forse prijsverhogingen door per 1 juli. Daarentegen krijgt de consument wel meer waar voor zijn geld; de prijs per megabit is gemiddeld met 64% gedaald. Dit blijkt uit onderzoek van onafhankelijke internetvergelijker Breedbandwinkel.nl onder 80.000 Nederlandse huishoudens.

Kabelaar Ziggo verhoogt per oktober opnieuw de snelheid van al haar abonnementen. Opvallend is dat het Basic instapabonnement een snelheid krijgt van 100 Mb, een snelheid die voor veel huishoudens al ruim voldoende is. Ook de Internet Start en Start XXL abonnementen worden in snelheid verdubbeld.

Met een nieuwe positionering en een productaanbod dat helemaal aansluit op de klantwensen gaat T-Mobile Nederland vanaf vandaag verder onder de naam Odido. Het bedrijf werd twee jaar geleden overgenomen door investeerders, maar mocht de T-Mobile-naam nog beperkte tijd gebruiken.

In een tijd waarin duurzaamheid en milieuvriendelijkheid steeds belangrijker worden, worden technologische oplossingen onderzocht om een groenere toekomst te bevorderen. Een van deze oplossingen is glasvezelinternet, dat niet alleen zorgt voor een sneller en betrouwbaarder internet, maar ook aanzienlijke voordelen biedt op het gebied van duurzaamheid en milieuvriendelijkheid.

KPN en Ziggo zijn toegetreden tot branchevereniging NLconnect. Met de nieuwe leden zijn alle grotere telecomaanbieders van ons land bij NLconnect aangesloten: Odido en DELTA Fiber waren al bij de vereniging aangesloten, evenals 85 andere bedrijven uit de gehele telecom- en breedbandketen, waaronder Breedbandwinkel.

Internetvergelijker Breedbandwinkel bestaat deze maand 21 jaar en trakteert: klanten ontvangen tot en met 31 oktober minimaal 21,00 euro cashback bij iedere bestelling, een Pathé Thuis film cadeau en kans op één van de zes mooie prijzen.

Grote merken, zoals Jack Daniel’s, draaien de diversiteitsklok terug. De anti-woke-trend is tekenend voor de polarisering in de VS, die steeds meer tot uiting komt in reclame en communicatie. Overigens niet alleen voor Marketing the Rainbow, maar ook voor andere vormen van diversiteit. Het ingevoerde beleid na Black Lives Matter wordt hiermee óók deels teruggedraaid. […]
