EC and industry groups set out 5G vision
Media and telecom industry groups are setting out their positions ahead of the European Commission's launch of a 'manifesto' for the deployment of the technology in Europe and planned September unveiling of an 'action plan' for 5G mobile networks.
The 5G manifesto identified key requirements, including substantial investments in new infrastructure, a large amount of spectrum and new capabilities, as well as a close collaboration between telecom players and others.
The manifesto said that technology trials would demonstrate new 5G capabilities ahead of the 5G 3GPP standard's first release being available, something that is expected around 2018.
Additional frequency spectrum for 5G is expected to be identified by the WRC 219 conference while European stakeholders will agree on trial specifications covering use-cases, scenarios, interfaces, and agreement to transfer use-cases across trial networks.
Among the use cases being considered, which cover everything from connected automotive applications to energy distribution, media and entertainment uses being looked at include the integration of satellite and terrestrial network services, demonstrating the power of multicast and caching for delivering a cost-effective and scalable user experience across Europe – for example at the Glasgow-Berlin European Championships in 2018 and European football championship 2020 – and immersive video scenarios showcasing the benefits of 5G capacity enhancements, according to the document.
A white paper published by the 5G PPP highlighted the potential benefits of 5G for media and entertainment, noting potential uses cases including the distribution of 'ultra-high fidelity media', live-event experiences, the dissemination of user and machine-generated content, immersive media such as holographic content, cooperative media product and collaborative gaming.
The industry players are committed to delivering a roadmap of trials and demonstrators by January 2017, to achieve interoperability of networks and use-cases for the period 2018-20 and make 5G benefits known to vertical players, investors and the general public.
Spectrum requirements identified include harmonised licensing of 700MHz, 3.4-3.8GHz and higher-frequency bands for 24GHz and beyond by 2020.
European operators will target launching 5G in at least one city in each of the European Member States by 2020.
EBU president Jean-Paul Philippot, who took part in a roundtable discussion with Commissioner Günther Oettinger in Brussels yesterday, said that 5G mobile could benefit public service media but that the platform should be open and interoperable.
"We believe that 5G could offer many opportunities for public service media and their audiences. Our ambition is to enhance our relationship with EU citizens and enrich viewer experience. At the same time, we strive to improve the efficiency and agility of our production processes. With this aim in mind, the EBU is willing to contribute to the development of an open and interoperable 5G technology platform," said Phlippot.
"Audiences should benefit from 5G with quality of service and easy universal access to content of public value without needing to pay recurrent charges (i.e. free-to-air). EU 5G policy should support the development of an open and interoperable technology platform. It should be a vehicle towards cooperative use of broadcast and broadband infrastructures. As for all distribution networks it is crucial for costs to be transparent, predictable and affordable to ensure that funds are mainly devoted to content."
Nordic telco Telia said that it planned to show leadership in 5G, with advanced plans to launch services in Stockholm in Sweden and Tallinn in Estonia in 2018. The company recently signed a 5G MoU with Nokia.
"Telia Company will bring 5G to at least two cities in 2018, showing technology leadership; putting the best and latest technology in our customers hands is important for us. The work being carried out by the European Commission and supported by this group of companies provides an important basis for creating the right policy environment to allow 5G to flourish, as well as fostering the culture of partnership and innovation which will be a prerequisite for digitally driven growth in Europe," said Johan Dennelind, president and CEO of Telia Company, also present at the roundtable.
Satellite operator SES also confirmed its support for the EC's 5G plans.
"SES strongly believes in Europe's potential to become the global leader in 5G, permitting the enablement of economic growth, sustainability and high-quality jobs. Synergy of the key stakeholders is essential for successful deployment of 5G, and satellite is a key building block for a global, profitable and inclusive 5G deployment. Thus communication satellites will play a core role in the deployment and accessibility of 5G," said Karim Michel Sabbagh, president and CEO of SES.
"Being a founding member of the European 5G Public Private Partnership and one of the main contributors of the industry effort to define a 5G Action Plan, today we further confirm our willingness to support the coordinated deployment of this advanced connectivity infrastructure."

Weather service: Chance of snow around Redding tapers off this week
Damon Arthur
The chance to see some snow accumulate on the valley floor around Redding before 2021 comes to a close is fading away.
"It's not looking too good. I mean, it's definitely possible that there could be some, just very little accumulations. But it just looks like the chances aren't great at this point," said Anna Wanless, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
The weather service issued a wind advisory for Sunday and a freeze watch was forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.
The snow level is expected to drop as low as 500 feet in elevation, but that is when the storm system is moving out of the area, Wanless said, taking all the precipitation with it.
The low temperature Monday night was forecast at 27 degrees and a low of 31 was expected Tuesday night. On Wednesday, the temperature could fall as low as 26 degrees in Redding, the weather service said.
But with only small amounts of precipitation in the forecast, there isn't likely to be enough snowfall in the valley to accumulate, she said.
The weather service out of Medford, Oregon, said there is likely to be 1 or 2 inches of snow in the Mount Shasta area on Monday and Tuesday, said Miles Bliss, a meteorologist.
While Redding has recorded just over 5 inches of rain in December, there has been no snowfall at the official weather station at the Redding Municipal Airport within the past six months, according to the weather service.
Rainfall in Redding was at 13.31 inches since Oct. 1, about 2¾ inches above normal for that time period, according to the weather service.
However, since Jan. 1, precipitation still lags behind normal, with 23.70 inches of rain since the beginning of the year. Normal for this time of year is 32.32 inches, according to the weather service.
Because of two straight years of low rainfall, the major reservoirs in the North State are still well below normal levels. On Sunday, Lake Shasta and Trinity Lake were both at 49% of historical average, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
While the snow and rain is expected to taper off for the mountains around Redding, the weather service is discouraging travel through the Sierra Nevadas, where heavy snow continues to fall, Wanless said.
"We're just really trying to get the word out that Sierra travel is highly discouraged. I mean, most if not all the mountain passes are closed," she said.

Nancy Morey, formerly of the Prevention Services Network, is the recipient of the 2019 Connie Reyes Award for Excellence in Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention.
The former coordinator of a community collaboration dedicated to strengthening families through prevention is the recipient of the 2019 Connie Reyes Award for Excellence in Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention. Nancy Morey received the honors during a ceremony at the Kenosha County Job Center (last week). Morey led the Prevention Services Network until her semiretirement at the end of June 2018. She remains involved as president of NJM Management Services, the firm with which Kenosha County contracts to administer Prevention Services Network. The Connie Reyes Award, now in its fifth year, honors Reyes, a Kenosha County social worker who was murdered on April 12, 1990, as a tragic result of her work serving children and families in the community.
County Executive Jim Kreuser said Morey's efforts to help families to prevent child abuse and neglect are in keeping with the spirt of Reyes, who dedicated her career to strengthening families. "Preventing child abuse and neglect is at the core of our role in county government, to serve our most vulnerable citizens," Kreuser said. "Nancy's work with the Prevention Services Network and its Family Resource Center has helped greatly to advance that mission." Morey, who has been involved with this work for a quarter century, said she is pleased with what PSN has accomplished over the years. She said data analysis bears out that prevention does make a difference, when it comes to preventing neglect and abuse. "It's a great honor," Morey said, of receiving the Reyes award. "I'm really proud of the work we've done." The Prevention Services Network provides an array of community-based services that aim to prevent formal involvement in the child welfare and youth justice systems. These include service coordination, teen parent home visitation and family support programs, nurturing parent classes, intensive in-home services and an elementary school truancy reduction program. Access to these and other services is provided through the PSN Family Resource Center, located within the Kenosha County Job Center, 8600 Sheridan Road, Kenosha. More information is available online at https://www.psnfamilyresourcecenter.com , or by phone at 262-697-4651.


We've all lost our bloody minds at a gig before, and almost all of us have lost our mind to a Foo Fighters song once in our lives.
Well, actor Paul Rudd has found the best of both worlds and has been spotted living his best life at a recent Fooeys gig in Atlanta.
Rudd was spotted headbanging his little heart out to Foo Fighters' cover of 'Blitzkrieg Bop' by The Ramones and a video was filmed by writer and performer Aaron Chewning, who shared the immortal moment on Twitter.
It's a real shame that Paul Rudd isn't the actor Dave Grohl wants to play him in a biopic – that honour goes to Shelley Duvall. But, since Duvall hasn't acted in almost two decades, maybe it's Rudd's time to shine.

Golf: The Drive For Show Putt For Dough - Myth
Home › Blogs › Stan Sutherland's blog
Stan Sutherland
"Talking purely in terms of 'dough', year after year the best drivers make more money than the best putters," writes Mark Townsend who has some very interesting facts to state his case that, drive for show putt for dough is a myth in the case of professional golf. But I'm not so sure it would similarly apply to the average golfer's game.
Just gimme the facts
Mark writes, "Since the start of the 2018-2019 PGA Tour Season, the top five putters worldwide have earned a combined $3,819,365, or an average of $763,873.
One of these five is ranked inside the top 100 in the world.
In the same period the top five players off the tee have earned a combined $6,101,017, or an average of $1,220,203. Four of these guys are top 100 in the world."
Advice for professionals
"If you're a professional, and could choose to be ranked 1st in Driving Distance, or 1st Driving Accuracy, take the Distance all day. It's also much more fun to hit it 350 yards than 280, writes Mark who also advises us that Phil isn't so fantastic as his reputation suggests.
"His (Phil) short game isn't even the best area of his game. In fact, it's not even the second best area of his game. His success is centred around being excellent on approach and on the greens.
Since the start of 2018, he has ranked 272nd worldwide Off the Tee (OTT), 65th on Approach, 170th Around the Greens and 55th in Putting.
He hasn't ranked inside the top 25 of Strokes Gained Around the Green on the PGA Tour since 2012, and has never featured higher than 5th in that list.
Of the top 100 shots around the green that were played on the PGA Tour last year, he doesn't feature at all.
Fact about five of the best
Mark writes, "You could never say that professional golf is all about any aspect of the game but it is fair to say that different skills have varying levels of impact on a player's consistency and overall performance.
Being strong off the tee and gaining strokes there has clearly become a prerequisite for a consistent ranking inside the top 10 in the world. Since the start of 2018 the top five ranked players in the world all feature in the top 10 of the SG OTT rankings."

"We believe that more strokes are lost with bad drives than are lost with bad putts. And although you have been brainwashed to believe that putting is the most important part of your score – your Driver wields even more influence than your putter." - Marc Solomon
