Rogers can no longer claim “Canada’s Most Reliable Network”: judge Toronto Star
A B.C. judge has decided Rogers Communications Inc. cannot continue to claim it has “Canada’s Most Reliable” wireless network without qualification. The judge’s ruling is largely a victory for Telus Corp., which asked for the court to prevent Rogers from continuing to make the long-standing claim. Telus argued that new networks put in place this month by it and Bell Canada had made it impossible for Rogers to claim superiority. Justice Grauer says in his ruling that he agreed with Telus when it argued that Rogers couldn’t make the claim based on information that has become outdated.

The Office of Fair Trading will not challenge Google’s dominance Guardian
The chief executive of the Office of Fair Trading said today that there was no case for the regulator to challenge the dominance of search giant Google. John Fingleton said there was no evidence that Google was bad for consumers, arguing it had reached its leading position in the UK market legitimately. “Where a company has achieved that position by superior innovation, foresight and better targeting of customers, we’re very wary of intervening,” he told MPs on the Commons culture, media and sport select committee.

Hulu’s New Embed Policy Can Only Hurt It NewTeeVee
Two-year-old Hulu, which has quickly become Americans’ preferred method of consuming TV online, is now blocking startups from embedding its video library. But while Hulu is now (mostly) unfriendly to startup video aggregators, it’s still sharing its videos with its corporate parents’ friends: the big web portals and MSOs. Put together, the retroactive and inconsistent nature of a recent spate of nastygrams shows the site is feeling insecure. Over the weekend, Hulu demanded that a newly launched video discovery startup called Rippol stop embedding all its shows. Hulu told Rippol that it can link to its full library, but not embed the videos. Rippol tells us it will comply, and replace the Hulu embeds where it can from network sites like NBC.com and Fox.com.

U.S. senators press EU to speed up Oracle review Associated Press
U.S. senators are pressuring European antitrust regulators to hurry their investigation of Oracle Corp.’s proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems Inc., citing Sun’s “precarious” financial condition and fears about more layoffs at the struggling computing company. A group of 59 senators outlined the concerns in a letter Tuesday to the European Commission, which has held up the $7.4 billion deal over worries that Oracle would be too dominant in the market for database software. Oracle is the leader in proprietary database software — which means its underlying code is kept private — while Sun’s MySQL division makes the No. 1 open-source database. Companies use database software to manage large amounts of information. The Oracle-Sun combination would be one of the biggest technology deals of the year and was cleared in August by the U.S. Department of Justice. This month, though, the European Commission notified the Silicon Valley companies of its formal objection to the deal.

Union County man charged with theft of Internet domain name New Jersey Newsroom
In what is the first known indictment for a domain name theft, a Union County man was indicted Monday on charges he stole a company’s Internet domain name and sold it over eBay for more than $111,000 to an unsuspecting buyer, state Attorney General Anne Milgram announced. State Criminal Justice Director Deborah L. Gramiccioni said her office’s Major Crimes/Computer Analysis & Technology Unit obtained a seven-count state grand jury indictment that charges Daniel Goncalves, 25, of Union Township, with theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, computer theft, and identity theft. Goncalves was arrested on July 30 by members of the State Police Cyber Crimes Unit as a result of an investigation into the theft of P2P.com, an Internet domain name. On that same date, troopers executed a search warrant at Goncalves’ residence and seized a large volume of business and computer records relevant to the alleged domain name theft.
