Sprint quietly sells 3G femtocell, Verizon set to follow
U.S. carriers with EVDO mobile data networks are stepping up their coverage game with femtocells that offer extended coverage for the high-speed network, after long offering units that worked only with the slower CDMA2000-1x system. Sprint Nextel quietly began offering an EVDO femtocell to selected customers about two weeks ago, and Verizon Wireless confirmed on Monday it will offer one "in the coming months."

Google Proposes $8.5 Mln Buzz Lawsuit Settlement
(Digital Trends)
Digital Trends - Internet giant Google has proposed paying some $8.5 million to settle a lawsuit over privacy violations that occurred when it launched its Buzz social networking service earlier this year. Some 30 percent of the proposed settlement money would go towards legal fees associated with the case, $2,500 each would go to the seven Gmail users who brought the suit, and the remainder would be split amongst organizations that promote online privacy and privacy education. Google admits no wrongdoing in the settlement, which still must be approved by a judge.
