Amazon gives UK customers early e-book access with Kindle First

While Amazon tends to release new e-reader and tablet hardware in the UK and US simultaneously these days, we're still not top priority when it comes to new services. That being said, the UK has caught up significantly in the past week with the launch of the all-you-can-read Kindle Unlimited subscription and now, Kindle First. Amazon runs a bunch of publishing houses, and what Kindle First offers is early access to new releases originating from them. Each month, Amazon editors will select four books scheduled for publication the following month, and let you buy one (and only one) of them in e-book form for 99 pence, or snag one for free if you're a Prime member. Once you've registered, it's basically as simple as that. You can head to the Kindle First page now to check out the selections for this month, and sign up for the newsletter if you'd like to know when other titles become available for pre-release reading.

Google invites fiber not content for faster access providers

Annoyed that your Internet provider media-online-services deal with forced, just to ensure the quality of the whole time is expected? Do not worry about with Google fiber what. Gigabit grade ISP said that it is not charged companies for peering agreement, roads or anything else that gives content hosts and networks deliverable get she otherwise would. In fact, already be aligned with companies such as Netflix, in the rooms of the Google - there is no tears in this House of cards 4 K-workflow when using fibers.

Market research firm argues that there is simply no reason, so that it can extract money from other sites. Video not slowed down ultimately help in the network and a better connection each; Data transport is cheaper and customers are happier. We doubt that companies like Comcast or Verizon reconsider this position their strategies pay are to play anytime soon. It does not mean that you can implement fiber to Google, if you believe that paid prioritization violated the spirit of the net neutrality... assuming fiber in the first place, that is, you can.

Virgin Media will soon offer access to Sky Sports and movies on mobile

Virgin Media might be locking horns with Sky in a battle over broadband and phone lines, but when it comes to programming, cable customers have enjoyed the results of a content truce. Having delivered many of its channels for a number of years, Virgin today announced it has extended its deal with Sky by another five years, ensuring that it can deliver more content in high definition and also bring some Sky channels to its mobile streaming apps for the very first time. To begin with, subscribers already paying £7 a month to access to Sky's high-definition content will see Sky Sports 3 HD, Sky Sports 4 HD and Sky Sports F1 HD added to their set-top box, with Sky Sports News HD and Sky News HD set to follow later. Virgin customers will also be able to access Sky's entertainment channels (not including Sky Atlantic) via the TV Anywhere app and, perhaps more importantly, will be given access to movies and sport via Sky's dedicated apps in the coming months. Best of all, as long as you're already paying for Sky content, you'll soon get more stuff in more places for no extra cost.
