The price of Sony’s PlayStation Vue tiers is on the rise. New customers will take the hit now, while existing customers can keep their current price for at least 30 days. “With costs rising each year for content, we constantly evaluate each deal to ensure we continue to deliver the content you want while considering the overall value of each package,” the company told its customers. “After reviewing this, we have made the decision to raise the price of all of our multi-channel plans buy $5.”
 
Facebook is cracking down on false claims about medical treatments, treating them as they would spam. “Misleading health content is particularly bad for our community,” Travis Yeh, a Facebook product manager, wrote in a blog post “So, last month we made two ranking updates to reduce (1) posts with exaggerated or sensational health claims and (2) posts attempting to sell products or services based on health-related claims.”

AmazonNetflix and several Hollywood studios are asking for millions of dollars in damages from SET TV, according to TorrentFreak. When an anti-piracy alliance sued the IPTV service last year, the company denied copyright infringement allegations and said it had stopped offering the service, but failed to respond to a request for a deposition. Hence, a filing for an entry of default. “Set Broadcast has willfully infringed Plaintiffs’ Copyrighted Works and, in doing so, caused Plaintiffs and their entire business model immense damage. The $7,650,000 statutory damages sought here therefore represents only a fraction of the actual damages inflicted by Set Broadcast on Plaintiffs,” the motion reads.
 
The Competitive Carriers Association , Charter Communications and ACA Connects – America’s Communications Association have filed a proposal with the FCC that it calls a “win-win” for incumbent users of the C-Band spectrum for 5G and prospective providers of 5G wireless. In the proposal, at least 30 megahertz of the C-Band spectrum would be repurposed for 5G, “the first time that incumbents and prospective new licensees have come together on an industry-designed plan for repurposing the C-Band, which is critically important to winning the global race to 5G,” said the group in a statement. “Today’s joint filing is significant progress and demonstrates industry’s willingness to work together to ensure the repurposing of the C-Band spectrum is done right,” said CCA President and CEO Steve Berry. “Mid-band spectrum provides real opportunities for competitive carriers to enhance and expand their networks, especially in rural areas.”
