Après avoir beaucoup monté après le début de la guerre en Ukraine, le prix du pétrole est en baisse à peu près constante depuis le milieu de l'an dernier.

This episode recounts the dramatic, rapid decision(s) of the Competition Tribunal allowing the merger of Shaw and Rogers (with divestment of Freedom Mobile to Videotron) and why that is weird, appealable, and not a good sign for Canadian wireless and other telecommunications markets.Ben Klass again joins the podcast to give his opinion on the meaning of the decision(s), the appeal, the possible state of the market if the merger proceeds and the weaknesses of Canada's Competition Act and related entities.We close with an update on the CBC-Radio-Canada licence renewal decision that was overturned by Cabinet and welcome new CRTC Chairperson Vicky Eatrides. She has a lot to do.

Rogers et Shaw soutiennent que Vidéotron ferait de Freedom un joueur redoutable dans le sans fil, mais le Bureau de la concurrence n'y croit pas.

We return to look at the Rogers-Shaw deal and possible different solutions than the divestment of Shaw's wireless business to Videotron (Quebecor) - solutions that might include a "maverick" once and future(?) independent wireless competitor, Globalive, best known as the operator of WIND Mobile before it was sold to Shaw and renamed "Freedom Mobile".  Globalive's Simon Lockie joins the podcast to give the inside scoop on a past and future competitor's efforts to start a fourth national wireless company and whether Globalive can acquire Shaw's "Freedom Mobile" assets if Shaw (or Rogers) must sell them to obtain regulatory approval of the larger Rogers-Shaw deal, which is now before the Competition Tribunal. What Canadians pay for wireless service for the foreseeable future will be decided in the next few months and we discuss all of the possible futures at this hinge point.

L'essentiel des nouvelles économiques, financières et technologiques aujourd'hui[texte complet ou presque, ni révisé ni corrigé à des fins de publication] Ottawa refuse le projet de mégatransaction d'achat du cablodistributeur Shaw par Rogers, du moins dans sa forme actuelle. Pour que la transaction puisse aller de l'avant, le ministre de l'Innovation, des Sciences et de l'Industrie, François-Philippe Champagne pose 2 conditions. D'abord, Québecor devra s'engager à conserver au moins 10 ans les licences de spectre qu'elle pourrait acquérir si elle achète le fournisseur de téléphonie sans fil Freedom Mobile, actuellement propriété de Shaw. Ensuite, la vente de Shaw à Rogers devra permettre de faire baisser les prix des services sans fil en Ontario et dans l'Ouest canadien.---Bell lance une filiale de capital de risque.

Les revenus de l'entreprise ont augmenté de 6% par rapport au trimestre correspondant l'an dernier, soit un peu moins que le prévoyaient les investisseurs. Cette faiblesse s'explique surtout par la hausse modeste des revenus publicitaires de Google. L'action d'Alphabet a perdu 7% de sa valeur hier soir dans les transactions suivant la fermeture des marchés. Adidas met fin à son partenariat avec le rappeur américain Kanye West en raison de propos à caractère antisémite qu'il a tenu sur plusieurs plateformes.

It's Friday May 27th, 2022, and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From BleepingComputer.com:Microsoft security researchers have found high severity vulnerabilities in a framework owned by MCE Systems that is used by Android apps. The vulnerabilities expose users to command injection and privilege escalation attacks. The apps have millions of downloads on Google's Play Store and come pre-installed as system applications on devices bought from operators including AT&T, TELUS, Rogers Communications, Bell Canada, and Freedom Mobile. Patches have been issued. From PortSwigger.net:Guzzle, the popular HTTP client for PHP applications, has addressed a high severity vulnerability leading to cross-domain cookie leakage. The flaw resides in Guzzle's cookie middleware, which is fortunately disabled by default, so most library consumers will not be affected. Drupel is one of the applications that use the third-party library and has released updates to address the issue. From CNN.com:A ransomware attack has forced officials in Somerset County New Jersey to switch off their computers and set up temporary Gmail accounts so the public can communicate with key agencies like health, emergency and sheriff's departments. The county says the attack has only affected email and IT systems and that phone lines and emergency service systems are all working properly. No word on the threat actor or specific malware involved. From BleepingComputer.com:The Austrian state of Carinthia has been hit by the BlackCat ransomware gang, who demanded $5 million to unlock their encrypted computer systems. Evidently thousands of workstations have been locked by the attack. The government says there is no evidence that BlackCat actually managed to exfiltrate any data, and that the plan is to restore the machines from backups. From ThreatPost.com:Multiple flaws have been found in Open Automation Software, a popular platform used by industrial control systems. The two critical and five high severity vulnerabilities could allow unauthorized device access, remote code execution, or denial of service that could ultimately threaten the stability of critical infrastructure. The flaws affect OAS Platform version 16.00.0112. See the full Cisco Talos report in the article. And last today, from BleepingComputer.comWindows previewed its upcoming cumulative update, which unfortunately has some compatibility issues with some of Trend Micro's security products, including the ransomware protection feature. The issue affects the User Mode Hooking component used by several Trend Micro endpoint solutions.

Last, but not least, Igor's pick is the general ambivalence surrounding Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.  Tune in to hear the team ring in the New Year!

This week on the SyrupCast, Rose Behar and Igor Bonifacic are joined by Christine Dobby, telecom reporter at the Globe and Mail, and Daniel Bader, managing editor at Android Central, to take a look back the major Canadian telecom developments of 2017, with a focus on Freedom Mobile. A lot has changed over the course of 2017 in terms of Canada's telecom ecosystem. One of the most significant shifts in the space involves Canadian carrier unlocking fees being stopped by the CRTC. Freedom Mobile also underwent significant changes this year, with the carrier rebranding from Wind Mobile to Freedom Mobile, following Shaw's acquisition of the company back in 2015. With the CRTC unlocking fee ban recently going into effect, Freedom jumped at the opportunity to acquire new customers from the larger competitors in the Canadian telecom space. Freedom introduced a new, highly competitive plan that offered 10GB of data for $50, and in an unprecedented move, other major carriers and flanker brands responded with similar offers. The ensuing deal madness saw Canadians trying to take advantage of the offers being stuck in long lineups and customer service reps being overwhelmed with calls. Finally, and this may be the most important news of all, the Freedom Bear has officially retired. Tune in to hear the SyrupCast team's thoughts.

LG has officially announced the LG Watch Sport and the LG Watch Style, both of which will run off of Android Wear 2.0. Although the company has confirmed the devices will be coming to Canada, it has yet to announce a solid date for their release.

This week on the SyrupCast, Igor Bonifacic, Rose Behar, and Patrick O'Rourke are joined by Shane Dingman, a technology reporter at the Globe and Mail. Rose, one of MobileSyrup's staff writers and a frequent contributor on the SyrupCast, starts off the show by relaying to the team how Freedom Mobile's new LTE compares to the other players in town. After spending a lot of time riding the TTC around Toronto, she is fairly confident that the speeds of Freedom's network actually bests that of Rogers'. 'Switching topics,' the SyrupCast crew talks Nintendo and the company's latest gaming console. The Nintendo Switch, set to release on March 3rd, is a truly mobile home console gaming solution, with a lightweight console that doubles as a handheld device. Finally, the SyrupCast team digs into the recent rumours that the Canadian government may soon require Netflix to charge sales tax. These announcements leave the team wondering if this is a policy voice waiting to be filled.  Tune in to hear the SyrupCast team's thoughts and jump in the comments to tell us yours.

On this episode of the SyrupCast, the entire MobileSyrup team squeezes into the podcast studio for a year end wrap up of their favourite tech stories from 2016. MobileSyrup director of social media Zach Gilbert is up first and discusses Blackberry's rocky 2016. The company has undergone drastic changes over the course of the past year, from handing off hardware production to TCL, to focusing its future on autonomous cars and software security, leaving the team to predict that 2017 will see a very different BlackBerry emerging from the embers. Staff writer Rose Behar selects the Samsung Note 7 to reminisce in her segment. Although Samsung had battery combustion problems with the Note 7, rumours regarding the impending release of the S8 are already circulating. MobileSyrup staff writer Jessica Vomiero does a deep dive into Canadian cybersecurity. Between rulings from the CRTC and the liberal government's approach to CSIS collecting data, the entire team agrees that 2017 will be a year where Canadians need to think carefully about their data privacy. Senior editor Patrick O'Rourke, in true Pokémaster fashion, brings Pokémon Go into the conversation as his favourite story of the year. The augmented reality app that brought the nostalgia of Pokémon to smartphones, has not seen continued growth following its initial boon in popularity, though the developer behind the game, Niantic, is starting to add new features to the mobile title at a rapid pace. Senior editor Igor Bonifacic directs the conversation to the successful year Microsoft has had. Apple has been at the forefront of the post-PC era, but 2016 saw releases from both Microsoft and Apple that hint at the end of Apple's reign. Ian Hardy, MobileSyrup's founder and publisher, chose Freedom Mobile as his favourite mobile tech news development of 2016. The company, formerly known as Wind Mobile, rebranded late in 2016 and launched its own LTE network.

On this episode of the SyrupCast, co-hosts Rose Behar, Patrick O'Rourke, Zach Gilbert and Igor Bonifacic, start off the podcast with some candid takes on Freedom Mobile's first week. The company, formerly known as Wind Mobile, rebranded simultaneously with the launch of its LTE network, though the network didn't actually launch on November 27th as the company stated. The team wonders how this move will affect the "new" brand's reputation. Next, the MobileSyrup squad goes through a run-down of some of the Google Pixel's recently uncovered issues. Were the first reviews too quick to give the phone a glowing recommendation? Finally, the SyrupCast discusses Moto's decision to step away from the wearable market for the foreseeable future. Although the choice does not come as much of a surprise, it means Android Wear fans will now have one less option. Tune in to hear the SyrupCast team’s thoughts, and jump in the comments to tell us what you think.

On this episode of the SyrupCast, co-hosts Igor Bonifacic, Ian Hardy, Patrick O'Rourke and Jessica Vomiero, are joined by Josh McConnell, tech producer at the Financial Post. To start off the show, the crew delves into Wind's recent rebranding to Freedom Mobile and what that means for the telecom.   Next, in a rather confusing series of events, VentureBeat reported that Equibit, a Toronto-based Blockchain security startup, named controversial tech figure John McAfee as its Chief Security Officer. Not long after, this claim was disputed by McAfee himself via Twitter. The MobileSyrup team was able to reach out to McAfee to get to the bottom of it all. The podcast crew wants to know, where was the disconnect? Tune in to hear the SyrupCast team’s thoughts, and jump in the comments to tell us what you think.
