Rights in Japan
By Kosaku Narioka
Z Holdings Corp. said Monday that it has agreed to pay 178.5 billion
yen ($1.61 billion) to Verizon Media for trademark rights in Japan
related to Yahoo.
The operator of Yahoo! Japan said new arrangements would terminate the
existing license agreement and give the company greater flexibility to
use the Yahoo brand and licensed technology in Japan without paying
royalties.

Subject: America has a $100 billion digital divide. Can 5G help
bridge it?
By Dow Draper
The pandemic laid bare just how sorry broadband access is in America:
42.8 million Americans - more than 1 in 8, most in rural areas - have
no broadband internet service where they live. And of those who do
have broadband, 25% have only one choice.
Throughout North Carolina, there are 800,000 people with only one
choice for home broadband, and even worse, more than 100,000 people
are without any access at all. That lack of choice and competition
leads to high prices, poor service and some of the unhappiest
customers in America. Only cable TV customers are less happy than ISP
customers.

Subject: Could High-Speed Internet Access Finally Be Coming to Rural
America?
By John R. Quain
One of the joys - and banes - of living in the country is lack of
internet access.
Disconnecting from the tyranny of Twitter and other social media can
be a relief. But as many have learned during the pandemic, being
unable to get high-speed internet access can make working, learning
and video calling difficult, if not impossible, in rural areas.
