This bill amends the Betting and Gaming Act.It is the second phase in the modernisation process of the games of chance policy, which aims to prevent gambling addiction, protect the consumer and discourage illegality and crime.
Remote games of chance are games of chance in which the player takes part with electronic means of communication and without physical contact with (the personnel of the) the organiser of the games of chance or a third party which provides a room and resources for the participation in the games of chance.
Because of the lack of direct contact between the player and the games of chance provider, these games involve different and bigger risks of fraud and gambling addiction than the traditional physical (“land based”) games of chance.
Proper and strict regulation of remote games of chance involves among other things that additional measures are set to prevent gambling addiction, including a central register for the exclusion of games of chance3, as well as additional supervision and enforcement powers for the Games of Chance Authority and amendment of the games of chance legislation.
Special eurobarometer 390_cyber_security_report_fieldwork_march_2012Market Engel SAS
This report brings together the results of the Special Eurobarometer public opinion survey on “cyber security” in the EU27 countries. It is estimated that, worldwide, more than one million people become victims of cybercrime every day. The European Commission has recently proposed to establish a European Cybercrime Centre to help protect European citizens and businesses against these mounting cyber-threats. The centre will be the European focal point in fighting cybercrime and will focus on illegal online activities carried out by organised crime groups, particularly those generating large criminal profits, such as online fraud involving credit cards and bank credentials. The EU experts will also work on preventing cybercrimes affecting e-banking and online booking activities, thus increasing e-consumers trust. A focus of the European Cybercrime Centre will be to protect social network profiles from e-crime infiltration and will help the fight against online identity theft. It will focus on cybercrimes which cause serious harm to their victims, such as online child sexual exploitation and cyber-attacks affecting critical infrastructure and information systems in the Union. The strategic priority given to tackling cybercrime is also reflected in the strategic and operational targets in the fight against cybercrime that have been agreed between Member States, the Council, the Commission and Europol1. The aim of the survey is to understand EU citizens’ experiences and perceptions of cyber security issues. The survey examines the frequency and type of internet use that EU citizens have; their confidence about internet transactions; their awareness and experience of cybercrimes; and the level of concernthat they feel about this type of crime. This survey was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network in the 27 Member States of the European Union between 10th and the 25th of March 2012. Some 26.593 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue on behalf of Directorate General Home Affairs. The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Research and Speechwriting” Unit)2.. A technical note on the manner in which interviews were conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Opinion & Social network is appended as an annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals.

Dutch gaming authority installed ahead of opening up remote gaming market. By...Market Engel SAS
On December 20, 2011, the Dutch Senate approved the legislative proposal regarding the introduction of the Gaming Authority. The new
independent regulatory body will be operational as of April 1, 2012, and will make enforcement of the Dutch gaming regulations much more effective. A change in government in October 2010 resulted in plans to modernise the Dutch gaming policy. The State Secretary for Safety and Justice now responsible for the
gaming dossier sent a policy note to the House of Representatives ("Tweede Kamer") on March 19, 2011, which marked a dramatic shift in the government's thinking on the regulation of all forms of gambling. These plans were fuelled by the final ruling of the Dutch Council of State in the post CJEU case Betfair/Ministry of Justice (Case 258/08). The supreme administrative court held that the Dutch licensing procedure is in breach of EU law because the procedure failed to comply with the principles of non-discrimination and transparency. (...) 2012 will be the year in which the legal landscape for (remote) gaming in the Netherlands undergoes a substantial redesign. While the Dutch government is shaping new remote gaming policy and intending to present a remote gaming bill in the first half of this year, the Gaming Authority will already become operational as of April 2012. These developments will create both opportunities and risks for parties active on the Dutch gaming market such as operators, software companies, PSPs and media companies. The Authority will actually have teeth to effectively enforce current and future Dutch gaming regulations which could particularly affect local-based entities or foreign entities with assets in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how the Gaming Authority will behave towards market players in the transitional period until the new remote gaming licensing regime unfolds. Without a transparent, sustainable and viable regulatory framework which is compliant with EU law, difficulties will remain with respect to enforcement.

Iot report federal trade commission_150127iotrptMarket Engel SAS
I publish this FTC report on IOT because i think that it's a good report and it has also been -- i think -- wrongly been seen as potentially bashing IOT potentials. See, for example, an article published yesterday "From www.theverge.com - February 15, 11:24 PM
'In the internet of things, the Federal Trade Commission sees the possibility of flourishing new markets. But it also sees a prologue to Black Mirror: in a new report that probes the privacy implications of connected devices, the commission surveys a landscape of possible dystopian futures. Get ready for invasive marketing, unending consumer surveillance, invisible nudging, and new potential for government spying and novel forms of hacking...'"
The FTC report is 55 page long, refers to workshops discussions that took place in nov 2013, and although the report stages pros and cons in a very articulated manner, the FTC applies to IOT the security & privacy guidelines and other 'good practices' that have been applied to internet-of-other-things, :-), so far. So, i think that we need to be super cautious about these discussions: Yes, the IOT generates challenges with which we may not yet be familiar with. But not really more. And let's remember that, unless we haven't learned about basic security risks, we are still in a position to say 'no' if the risks look bigger than the opportunities. Many say that 'privacy' -- as we've known it on the net 10 years ago -- is gone. Maybe. Things evolve. But at this stage, i think that no, IOT won't kill privacy. It might actually be the contrary. Let's think that, thx to IOT, i'll be more capable to change the way i work, live, pay and play online and offline. Let's say that, thx to IOT, my assurance level(s) against risks of -- for example -- ID theft and impersonation does rise. Let's believe that, thx to IOT, we just become more and better aware of what matters and does not,, so that we have the tools and the systems to better manage our environment. To make a long story short, let's just recall that IOT technology is just like any other technology: It is neutral. What is not neutral is its use. So, this is why i believe that there is, with IOT, more opportunities than risks to strengthen the privacy of our environment... provided that -- yes, i agree -- we (also) think IOT this way.

About SIGFOX
SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication for connected objects. Leveraging on its patented UNB technology SIGFOX brings a revolution to the M2M and Internet of Things world by enabling large-scale connection of objects. The network already connects tens of thousands of objects in France and international cities.
SIGFOX provides an end-to-end solution for your communication chain, from your objects through to your information system, with unprecedented pricing models and low energy consumption.
As a network operator SIGFOX operates fixed-location
transceivers enabling your objects to be connected “out of the box”. However contrary to the telecommunication networks, the SIGFOX transceivers and the entire SIGFOX connectivity solution has been developed, built and deployed to only serve the low throughput M2M and IoT applications. As an operated longrange network, SIGFOX provides connectivity without the need to deploy specific network infrastructures for each application.
Unlike other narrow band or white space solution providers we do not require our customers to invest in network equipment, the SIGFOX network is simply available to any object equipped with our certified connectivity solutions.
From an application point of view, the SIGFOX connectivity solution functions as follows:
• SIGFOX compatible modems are integrated within the physical objects by our certified partner network
• The objects instruct the modems to send messages whenever and wherever needed
• The transmitted data is picked up by the SIGFOX transceivers, and routed to our managed service
• The SIGFOX servers verify the data integrity and route the messages to the application’s IT system.
(...)
Sample use cases.
MAAF Assurances, one of the leading French insurance companies, anticipate the upcoming regulation that will impose by 2015 that each household be equipped with a smoke detector. The fire and/or intrusion alert service that will be using the SIGFOX network will enable MAAF insured customers to be warned directly through SMS, in case the intrusion or smoke detectors send alarms and allow MAAF and their customers to be alerted if there is an anomaly, such as low battery, with the
smoke detector.
Clear Channel Outdooroperates stations throughout France. In order to avoid constant manual inspection of the ad stations, a remote monitoring application has been deployed and the SIGFOX network is used to communicate status information from each ad station to the IT system.

Electronic Signature markets and vendors_Forrester Wave_Q2_2013Market Engel SAS
Key Takeaways:
1. E-Signature Technology Gains Momentum
Electronic signatures are gaining momentum due to rapidly evolving consumer technology and the need to reduce transaction costs and the time to close business. In short, electronic signing will become simpler, more accessible, and cheaper with more tablets and touchscreen computers.
2. Enterprise E-Signature Requirements Show Substantial Diversity.
This report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills the wide range of enterprise e-signature requirements that stem from compliance, geographic, and customer experience differences. This report helps enterprise architects select the right e-signature solution.
3. Well Balanced Leaders Drive The Market.
In Forrester’s 18-criteria evaluation of e-signature vendors, we compared the 10 most significant software providers in the category -- Adobe, ARX, AssureSign, DocuSign, eSignSystems, RightSignature, RPost, Sertifi, SIGNiX, and Silanis.
Digital signatures, paving the way to a digital Europe_Arthur D Little_2014Market Engel SAS
Digital signature solutions are quickly replacing paper-based signatures and have the potential to dominate signature-related processes. The primary benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction. Processes that still require a handwritten signature slow down turnaround time, increase complexity in terms of archiving, and also raise environmental issues with regards to paper usage. Companies are therefore increasingly adopting digital signature solutions to address those challenges.
The financial services industry is the pioneer in the adoption and development of digital signature solutions, and we expect other industries, such as telecommunication, commerce, utilities, notaries and healthcare, to follow soon as the benefits of this new technology, namely increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction, are not restricted to any industry. While offering clear advantages, digital signature solutions still need to overcome some challenges, such as the need to adapt existing systems and processes to the new technology, concern about acceptance by business partners and the perceived high cost.
The European Union is currently finalizing regulation, which will increase the legal value of advanced electronic signatures and remote electronic signing services by offering the possibility to generate a qualified digital signature using a remote signing system. The regulation is expected to be enacted in early July 2014. This development is expected to serve as an example for other markets on how to approach digital signatures from a regulatory standpoint.
This report is based on Arthur D. Little’s survey of 50 market experts in Europe, as well as comprehensive secondary market research. In this report, we provide an overview of the digital signature technology, its current and potential market, as well as the benefits and challenges it brings. We also present examples of practical applications of digital signature solutions.

The UK is Worlds’ #2 in iPad Game Spending and Console Gaming Popularity
The UK is number 2 in the world when it comes to the popularity of console gaming with 71% of all gamers playing on the TV screen. Only the French are more geared towards traditional console gaming. Overall, the UK is the 5th largest games market in the world when it comes to revenues generated by its gamers, behind Japan, China, Germany and the US.
Despite being characterized as a relatively traditional games market, smartphone and specifically tablet gaming is enormously popular. The UK ranks number 2 in the world in total game spend on the iPad. Of the 34.7 million UK gamers, 62% spend money on games, the third highest in the world behind Germany and Canada.
The largest amount of UK gamers can be found on social/casual platform followed by TV/console. Using Newzoo’s Screen Segmentation Model, 23.8% of gamers are playing across all four screens. The PC is used by 88.7% of gamers making it the most played on screen, although it is relatively less popular in the UK than most other Western countries.

The Netherlands Ranks #1 in the World when it comes to playing games for free
Netherlands is #1 in the world when it comes to playing games for free – 55% of the gamers don’t spend money on games at all. Although the Netherlands is relatively small and only has 8 million gamers it is still ranked relatively high with the 15th place in the world when looking at gaming revenues. This is also reflected by the monthly mobile game revenue ranking per App Store – the Netherlands is ranked 12th in the iPad store, 21st in the iPhone store and 20th in the Google Play Store. The main reason the Dutch like these mobile games is that they can try most of them out before spending money on them – this F2P business model fits the Dutch market very well. However if they like a game they will start spending significant amounts of money – Candy Crush Saga for example earns more than €250.000 a month in the Netherlands.
When it comes to cross-screen gaming, only 14.1% of all Dutch gamers are playing across all four screens – the only two countries that have a lower percentage are South Korea (13.2%) and Poland (10.8%). This indicates that the Dutch mostly stick to one or two screens to play games – this is also the reason why the player percentages per screen are relatively low compared to other countries: computer screen 87.2%, personal screen 61.2%, entertainment screen 53.9% and floating screen 35.7%.

France #1 in the world when it comes to playing games on TV/Console
71.5% of all 29.8 million gamers in France play on a TV/Console, the highest percentage in the world. The UK (70.7%) and Spain (70.3%) are not far behind. When looking at the global game revenues France is ranked 7th in the world and 3rd in Europe – following Germany #1 and UK #2 at a respectable distance. As in most of the countries, social/casual games have the highest number of players (23.8 M), followed by TV/Console (21.3 M) and downloaded PC/Mac games (16.6 M).
When it comes to cross-screen gaming, 21.2% of all French gamers are playing across all four screens. The Computer Screen is still the most popular screen with 90.4% of French gamers playing on it. The Entertainment Screen is relatively popular with 71.5% of all gamers playing here. France has one of the highest percentages of gamers in Europe that play on the floating screen (tablet and/or handheld console) with 39.2%. Only in Spain 48.2% and Italy 42.6% does the floating screen have a higher share of all players playing on it.
The position of France in the monthly mobile game revenue rankings is pretty consistent across the different AppStores: #7 Google Play, #8 iPhone and #9 iPad. Until recently, France was ranked 6th in the Google Play Store – however, up and comer Taiwan pushed France down to position number 7. In all three AppStores Candy Crush Saga is the number 1 grossing game. In-app purchases are relatively popular in France with 94% of the game revenues in the iOS AppStore coming from this business model.

Le monde en 2013, bouge. L’aventure numérique se traduit par un bouleversement similaire aux avancées scientifiques, artistiques et architecturales de la Renaissance. Tous les secteurs sont impliqués. Les nouvelles technologies qui ont mis plus de 30 ans à rentrer dans nos maisons via le PC ont mis à peine 5 ans pour tenir dans nos mains.
Les artisans du bâtiment, clientèle du négoce de matériaux de construction et cible stratégique de BigMat, ne sont pas en reste avec un taux de détention en smartphone supérieur à la moyenne nationale. Selon une enquête "artisans & mobilité" datée de 2013 et réalisée par Batiweb, Sage Capeb, 80% des artisans du bâtiment étaient équipés d’un terminal connecté ou prévoyaient de s'équiper à la fin de 2013.
Reste que les usages professionnels n’existent pas encore. Consultation de SMS et d’emails, prise de photos, recherche d’infos sur internet via le mobile sont les usages utilisés majoritairement. Force est de constater qu’il n’existait pas encore de réponse professionnelle adaptée pour permettre aux clients TPE-PME du bâtiment d’utiliser pour leur activité les outils numériques avec une logique métier.
BigMat crée donc Bi la borne numérique et 6 applis pros pour accompagner les artisans dans l’apprentissage des usages digitaux. Parmi les sources de préoccupations des entreprises artisanales figurent au premier rang, l’adaptation aux évolutions des normes réglementaires. Le relationnel (accompagné par un conseiller), la documentation technique et Internet sont dans l’ordre les points clés de notre rapport particulier avec nos clients sur les sources d’informations pour le choix des produits et des matériaux où l’accompagnement est un levier fort de l’apprentissage des nouvelles technologies à la fois pour BigMat et les TPE-PME du bâtiment. Les applis pros sont les outils intelligents qui apportent les multiples réponses pratiques aux contraintes majeures d’une filière Bâtiment en pleine évolution vers la maison passive.

"Business models" disruptifs, usages des produits en constante (r)évolution, expérience client renouvelée, acculturation des collaborateurs, digitalisation des processus dans une logique d'efficacité opérationnelle, exploitation en continu des technologies de nouvelle génération : autant de composantes du changement sur lesquelles les super héros du digital jouent pour mettre en oeuvre des stratégies de transformation véritablement en rupture, offensives, pérennes et rentables.
Iot report federal trade commission_150127iotrptMarket Engel SAS
I publish this FTC report on IOT because i think that it's a good report and it has also been -- i think -- wrongly been seen as potentially bashing IOT potentials. See, for example, an article published yesterday "From www.theverge.com - February 15, 11:24 PM
'In the internet of things, the Federal Trade Commission sees the possibility of flourishing new markets. But it also sees a prologue to Black Mirror: in a new report that probes the privacy implications of connected devices, the commission surveys a landscape of possible dystopian futures. Get ready for invasive marketing, unending consumer surveillance, invisible nudging, and new potential for government spying and novel forms of hacking...'"
The FTC report is 55 page long, refers to workshops discussions that took place in nov 2013, and although the report stages pros and cons in a very articulated manner, the FTC applies to IOT the security & privacy guidelines and other 'good practices' that have been applied to internet-of-other-things, :-), so far. So, i think that we need to be super cautious about these discussions: Yes, the IOT generates challenges with which we may not yet be familiar with. But not really more. And let's remember that, unless we haven't learned about basic security risks, we are still in a position to say 'no' if the risks look bigger than the opportunities. Many say that 'privacy' -- as we've known it on the net 10 years ago -- is gone. Maybe. Things evolve. But at this stage, i think that no, IOT won't kill privacy. It might actually be the contrary. Let's think that, thx to IOT, i'll be more capable to change the way i work, live, pay and play online and offline. Let's say that, thx to IOT, my assurance level(s) against risks of -- for example -- ID theft and impersonation does rise. Let's believe that, thx to IOT, we just become more and better aware of what matters and does not,, so that we have the tools and the systems to better manage our environment. To make a long story short, let's just recall that IOT technology is just like any other technology: It is neutral. What is not neutral is its use. So, this is why i believe that there is, with IOT, more opportunities than risks to strengthen the privacy of our environment... provided that -- yes, i agree -- we (also) think IOT this way. My 2cts. fred.
About SIGFOX
SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication for connected objects. Leveraging on its patented UNB technology SIGFOX brings a revolution to the M2M and Internet of Things world by enabling large-scale connection of objects. The network already connects tens of thousands of objects in France and international cities.
SIGFOX provides an end-to-end solution for your communication chain, from your objects through to your information system, with unprecedented pricing models and low energy consumption.
As a network operator SIGFOX operates fixed-location
transceivers enabling your objects to be connected “out of the box”. However contrary to the telecommunication networks, the SIGFOX transceivers and the entire SIGFOX connectivity solution has been developed, built and deployed to only serve the low throughput M2M and IoT applications. As an operated longrange network, SIGFOX provides connectivity without the need to deploy specific network infrastructures for each application.
Unlike other narrow band or white space solution providers we do not require our customers to invest in network equipment, the SIGFOX network is simply available to any object equipped with our certified connectivity solutions.
From an application point of view, the SIGFOX connectivity solution functions as follows:
• SIGFOX compatible modems are integrated within the physical objects by our certified partner network
• The objects instruct the modems to send messages whenever and wherever needed
• The transmitted data is picked up by the SIGFOX transceivers, and routed to our managed service
• The SIGFOX servers verify the data integrity and route the messages to the application’s IT system.
(...)
Sample use cases.
MAAF Assurances, one of the leading French insurance companies, anticipate the upcoming regulation that will impose by 2015 that each household be equipped with a smoke detector. The fire and/or intrusion alert service that will be using the SIGFOX network will enable MAAF insured customers to be warned directly through SMS, in case the intrusion or smoke detectors send alarms and allow MAAF and their customers to be alerted if there is an anomaly, such as low battery, with the
smoke detector.
Clear Channel Outdooroperates stations throughout France. In order to avoid constant manual inspection of the ad stations, a remote monitoring application has been deployed and the SIGFOX network is used to communicate status information from each ad station to the IT system.

The mobile industry has scaled dramatically over the
last decade. At the end of 2003, there were a little over
one billion unique subscribers, meaning that just under
one in six people had subscribed to a mobile service. By
the end of 2013 this figure had increased to 3.4 billion
unique subscribers: equivalent to just under half of the
global population. Globally there were 6.9 billion SIM
connections at the end of 2013, with an average of 1.8
active SIM cards per unique subscriber*

Electronic Signature markets and vendors_Forrester Wave_Q2_2013Market Engel SAS
Key Takeaways:
1. E-Signature Technology Gains Momentum
Electronic signatures are gaining momentum due to rapidly evolving consumer technology and the need to reduce transaction costs and the time to close business. In short, electronic signing will become simpler, more accessible, and cheaper with more tablets and touchscreen computers.
2. Enterprise E-Signature Requirements Show Substantial Diversity.
This report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills the wide range of enterprise e-signature requirements that stem from compliance, geographic, and customer experience differences. This report helps enterprise architects select the right e-signature solution.
3. Well Balanced Leaders Drive The Market.
In Forrester’s 18-criteria evaluation of e-signature vendors, we compared the 10 most significant software providers in the category -- Adobe, ARX, AssureSign, DocuSign, eSignSystems, RightSignature, RPost, Sertifi, SIGNiX, and Silanis.
Digital signatures, paving the way to a digital Europe_Arthur D Little_2014Market Engel SAS
Digital signature solutions are quickly replacing paper-based signatures and have the potential to dominate signature-related processes. The primary benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction. Processes that still require a handwritten signature slow down turnaround time, increase complexity in terms of archiving, and also raise environmental issues with regards to paper usage. Companies are therefore increasingly adopting digital signature solutions to address those challenges.
The financial services industry is the pioneer in the adoption and development of digital signature solutions, and we expect other industries, such as telecommunication, commerce, utilities, notaries and healthcare, to follow soon as the benefits of this new technology, namely increased efficiency, lower costs and increased customer satisfaction, are not restricted to any industry. While offering clear advantages, digital signature solutions still need to overcome some challenges, such as the need to adapt existing systems and processes to the new technology, concern about acceptance by business partners and the perceived high cost.
The European Union is currently finalizing regulation, which will increase the legal value of advanced electronic signatures and remote electronic signing services by offering the possibility to generate a qualified digital signature using a remote signing system. The regulation is expected to be enacted in early July 2014. This development is expected to serve as an example for other markets on how to approach digital signatures from a regulatory standpoint.
This report is based on Arthur D. Little’s survey of 50 market experts in Europe, as well as comprehensive secondary market research. In this report, we provide an overview of the digital signature technology, its current and potential market, as well as the benefits and challenges it brings. We also present examples of practical applications of digital signature solutions.
