Broadband Regulation and the Global EconomyYankee Group
The broadband industry is receiving growing attention globally as governments recognize the key role broadband plays in economy-wide recovery. The emerging Anywhere Network™ –a powerful, pervasive digital network that can connect all people, at any time, in any place–presents an opportunity to create more jobs, increase productivity across a country's workforce and develop new solutions for health care, education, transportation and energy.
In the U.S., three key agencies are still sorting out how to allocate the broadband funds, and to whom, and many details remain unclear. Despite this flux, companies who seek to capitalize on the energy around broadband must understand the current state of thinking and the likely direction, nature and size of project funds being distributed throughout the world.

Advancing Reinaldo Gonsalves’ Model of Global Economic InsertionIan Walcott-Skinner
This paper is located in what is referred to as policy critique within the theoretical framework of International Political Economy (IPE) which, by origin, seeks to problematize issues of policy. In 1994, celebrated Brazilian economist, Reinaldo Gonsalves produced an important thesis and model on how to measure a country’s global insertion. At that time, Gonsalves could not have foreseen the influence of the Internet on global trade or on domestic trade policies. As such, the issue of global digital connectivity now presents itself as another pillar to measure global insertion. By examining regional Caribbean policy in this regard, this is an opportunity to advance Gonsalves’ model stimulate further on the opportunities associated with global digital connectivity.

Over-the-Top Video (OTTv) in the Middle East: How to Win the MarketSemalytix
With growing demand among Middle East viewers for online video content, new players cast in the Netflix mold are competing with traditional TV companies for a market potentially worth $1 billion by 2020. Around the world, over-the-top video (OTTv) is becoming more mainstream.1 These services as a share of total television viewing have doubled globally over the past 12 months and exceed 30 percent in some developed economies. In the United States, 75 million households have an active OTTv subscription, compared to 32 million just four years ago. Fueling this trend is the emergence of an abundance of user-friendly OTTv services, coupled with the increasing quantity and quality of content available online. Netflix launched its streaming service in 2007. As of April 2014, it was being used by 50 million people in 41 countries. Hulu, the OTTv service from NBC Universal, Disney, and Fox, now has six million paying U.S. subscribers. More pay TV operators are offering multiscreen packages to their subscribers and online-only packages to nonsubscribers in a bid to compete head-on with Netflix and similar services. In the Middle East, OTTv is still nascent by global standards. Fewer than 100,000 homes subscribe to dedicated commercial OTTv services—less than 1 percent of television-viewing households.2 Yet despite the low penetration, interest is strong—as suggested by the popularity of online short video services such as YouTube—and a flurry of new services has emerged (see figure 1). Etisalat introduced its eLife TV app on iOS in 2013, just one year after MBC's Shahid TV app became the top downloaded app in the Middle East App Store. Istikana and icflix, which follow a Netflix model, launched the region's first major standalone OTTv services in 2011 and 2013 respectively. OSN recently followed by announcing the launch of Go by OSN for non-pay TV subscribers. In 2014, beIN SPORTS relaunched its OTT service and began selling multiscreen subscriptions, and MBC partnered with Samsung to launch Shahid on smart TVs. - See more at: http://www.atkearney.com/paper/-/asset_publisher/dVxv4Hz2h8bS/content/over-the-top-video-ottv-in-the-middle-east-how-to-win-the-market/10192?#sthash.6QbS8wM6.dpuf

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
