New Delhi: Bharti Airtel unveiled a new corporate structure that will see it hold all digital assets, while moving the telecom businesses into a newly created unit, Airtel Ltd. The move sharpens the Sunil Mittal-led entity’s focus on digital operations and helps monetise them. The new structure will also remove telecom regulatory overhang on Airtel’s digital businesses and reduce statutory liabilities related to its mobility business. “The new structure envisages Airtel Digital Ltd folding into the listed entity, Bharti Airtel,” said a company statement on Wednesday. This will encompass Wynk Music , Airtel Xstream, Airtel Thanks app, Mitra payments platform, Airtel Ads, Airtel IQ, Airtel Secure , Airtel Cloud and all future digital products and services. “The digital ambition of Bharti Airtel is closely intertwined with the spine that connectivity provides across the country. It is, therefore, intended to house all the telecom businesses in a newly created entity, Airtel … [Read more...] about Airtel introduces new corporate structure to focus on digital assets

Carmack talks the future of Quest 2, new headsets, Quest 1 support and more
A long road ahead Quest 3, Quest Pro, Quest Lite, and more were topics of a casual chat between the two fellows. Nicholas Sutrich 16 Apr 2021 0 Source: Nick Sutrich / Android Central What you need to know Facebook plans to support Quest 2 "for a long time" according to Carmack and isn't finished adding features just yet. Future Quest headsets are likely to focus on iterating and optimizing the experience rather than revolutionizing it again, but won't happen in 2021. The Quest 1 was confirmed to have sold more than expected and still has over 1 million active users. One of the more surprising revelations was that the passthrough footage from the Quest's cameras will be made available to developers very soon. CTO of Oculus John Carmack virtually sat down with Andrew Bosworth (Boz), VP of Facebook Reality Labs on Twitter Spaces on April 16 to answer a few questions taken on Twitter earlier in the day.

Home Depot drops 10,000 BlackBerrys from employee belts
Home Depot confirmed on Monday that it would be replacing 10,000 BlackBerrys issued to its executives and managers with iPhones—sending BlackBerry’s stock price tumbling by more than 4.6 percent at the end of the trading day. Further losses came in during after-hours trading . Things have been rough for the smartphone pioneer in recent months. The company, recently rebranded as BlackBerry, has pinned its future on the Z10 handset , which debuts in the United States in March 2013. (The Q10 has been further delayed until May or June 2013.) Home Depot is not the first organization to switch away from the former device of choice for businesses. Back in October, 17,000 federal employees also made the switch from BlackBerry to the iPhone. A Home Depot spokesperson did not say whether or not his company’s decision was made before or after the BlackBerry 10 launch . "We are replacing the current base of BlackBerry technology with iPhone, but these are not the mobile … [Read more...] about Home Depot drops 10,000 BlackBerrys from employee belts
Mercedes goes all out with its new electric luxury sedan, the EQS
You can tell there should have been an international auto show this week by the flurry of new car announcements. These announcements have already included new battery electric vehicles from Mazda and Audi , as well as a little Hyundai truck that seems to have impressed many. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz has taken the wraps off an electric alternative to its mighty flagship S-Class. Actually, let me correct that—it's the first car from a new sub-brand, called Mercedes-EQ, and the car is called the EQS. And unlike the EQC crossover , this one is definitely going on sale here in the US. Do not mistake this car for an S-Class with a battery pack and some electric motors instead of an engine and transmission. Although the two cars share technology, the EQS uses a purpose-designed BEV architecture that we'll see in other, probably more modest Mercedes-EQs. Over in the conventionally powered world, the S-Class has for decades been the car to beat for the title of "World's Best," and the … [Read more...] about Mercedes goes all out with its new electric luxury sedan, the EQS
