In addition, all 2.2B Facebook users will receive a notice titled "Protecting Your Information" with a link to see what apps they use and what information they have shared with those apps, the report noted, adding that they will be able to shut off apps individually or turn off third-party access to their apps completely. Over the weekend, Facebook also said it had suspended Canadian political consultancy AggregateIQ and data firm Cubeyou in wake of privacy scandal. 2. After threatening to slap China with new tariffs, the Trump administration officials softened some of the rhetoric, noting that the penalties are not imminent and there is ample time to work out a deal and step back from a possible trade war, according to The Wall Street Journal. 3. Alphabet (GOOG; GOOGL) has the world's dominant search engine in Google, as well as valuable businesses like YouTube, the Android cellphone operating system, and Waymo autonomous vehicles, but investor are not giving the company enough credit partly because of worries that it, like Facebook, will soon face greater government regulation, Andrew Bary wrote in this week's edition of Barron's.

Using its 700 MHz E Block spectrum, Dish deployed on Spectrum's Garland, Texas, Single Frequency Network site, as part of the country's first major market conversion to the Next Gen broadcast standard. Spectrum is a consortium of broadcasters leading the transition to ATSC 3.0. Dish's 700 MHz E Block is uniquely positioned to provide coverage to 95 percent of the license areas in the U.S. Additionally, Dish's uplink spectrum assets could be used to provide a unique, dedicated reverse link channel for broadcast data applications.

Spectrum is defining the requirements of the Dallas SFN deployment project. Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI) and American Tower Corporation (AMT), working within a memorandum of understanding that will help shape future joint activity, have deployed and are commissioning multiple sites that will support multiple channels as part of this SFN network.
