Sony Pictures CEO consulted U.S. State
Department on film, leaked emails show
The head of Sony Pictures
consulted with a senior official in the U.S. government
in June this year, days after
North Korea threatened
"merciless countermeasures"
over the release of an
upcoming film featuring a plot
to assassinate leader Kim
Jong Un, leaked emails show.
In an internal email seen
by Reuters and dated June
26, Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Michael
Lynton said he told Assistant
U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Russel the studio was
"concerned for the safety of
Americans and American and
North Korean relations."
U.S. officials have cast
doubt on a threat against
theatres planning to show the
film but police across the
United States said they would
take extra precautions. Sony
executives told theatres the
studio would not pull the
comedy. The note was part
of a series of leaks from unidentified hackers who have
exposed thousands of internal documents and emails to
public scrutiny. Reuters has
not been able to verify the
authenticity of the documents, though Sony has confirmed that at least some are
authentic.
"I explained that we
wanted to act in a responsible fashion and that the film
was designed to entertain
Nostrilin Nasal Spray For
fast relief of stuffy nose
Nasal sprays are commonly used to treat common
colds, nasal congestion or
blockage due to cold, dryness
in the air or dehydration of
the nasal canal. Keeping this
in mind Vanesa Care, a lead-
ing personal care products
manufacturing company of
the Brand DENVER & ENVY
1000 has come up with
Nostrilin Nasal sprays which
can work quickly to ease congestion and remedy signs of
a cold.

and not to make a political
statement," Lynton said, in an
email dated June 26th this
year to Sony General Counsel Nicole Seligman.
"(Russel) said that the
North Koreans were going to
do whatever they were going to do with or without the
film, though they may use it
as an excuse (and) it would
probably go on the list of
complaints they have
agains(t) the United States."
Sony Pictures parent Sony
Corp declined to comment on
Lynton's exchange with
Russel. The U.S. embassy in
Seoul referred Reuters to the
State Department in Washington, which did not immediately respond to an emailed
request for comment.
North Korean propaganda
routinely warns of nuclear
war with the United States
and South Korea, its enemies

War which ended in a truce,
not a peace treaty.
Higher ICT budgets required
for faster conversion of existing
cities into Smart Cities
Ahmedabad, Schneider
Electric India – the global
energy management specialist and leader in energy efficiency – cited the latest India Infrastructure Research
report titled ‘ICT in Urban
Governance – Survey’ to
stress that higher ICT budgets were required for faster
conversion of existing cities
into Smart Cities. With civic
agencies in 53 cities across
India responding to the survey, the report revealed ICT
adoption among cities varied
according to their size, requirements, financial resources and approach to ICT
by the city’s Municipal Commissioners and IT heads.
In the case of municipal
budgets too, these varied
widely across cities from less
than INR 500 million to more
than INR 30,000 million. For
2014-15, about 38% of the
civic agencies had municipal
budgets exceeding INR
10,000 million. Of these, 73%
(eight civic agencies) had
budgets of more than INR
20,000 million. Another 21%
of respondent civic agencies
had budgets ranging be-
tween INR 5,000-10,000 million. Around 80% allocate
less than 1% of their budgets to ICT. Only 12% of the
civic agencies had ICT budget
allocations of 1-1.5%. In contrast, about 2% allocate more
than 5% of municipal budgets towards ICT. IT budgets
are largely financed via municipal revenues, followed by
state government funding.
More than 55% civic agencies
said the entire IT budget
(100%) is funded through
municipal sources.
Stressing the importance
of higher budget allocations
and prudent spends on ICT,
Anil Chaudhry, Country President and Managing Director,
Schneider Electric India, said:
“The present Government’s
vision of building 100 Smart
Cities will be contingent upon
the efficient adoption of ICT
solutions. In turn, this needs
support at the ground level,
along with robust budget allocations for ICT. Accordingly,
spends should be increased
and allocated budgets spent
judiciously for the Government’s vision of Smart Cities
to become a reality.”(1)

EU clears Lufthansa
outsourcing deal with IBM
The European Commission said on Wednesday it
had approved the sale of
Lufthansa's IT infrastructure
unit to IBM.
Lufthansa was seeking a
buyer for the unit, which provides data centres, networks
and telephony, because it requires a high level of investment and economies of scale,
which the airline could not
provide.
"The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns given the
very limited overlaps between the parties' activities
and the presence of several
strong alternative players
that would remain active after the merger," the EU executive said in a statement.
The deal, which was announced on October, will result in a one-off pre-tax
charge of 240 million euros
(190 million pounds) for
Lufthansa. It will allow
Lufthansa to reduce its an-
pected to commence operations in the coming months,
subject to the necessary approvals and statutory procedures.
“Since the first development in the 1970s, Hitachi
has participated in every
HVDC project in Japan and
has continued to underpin
the stabilization of the electricity grid. I am confident
that the establishment of a
new company combining the
strengths of Hitachi and ABB
will provide a framework for
the timely provision of the
new technologies required
by the Japanese HVDC market. By enhancing and expanding the HVDC business
through its partnership with
ABB, which has a strong
performance record in the
global market, Hitachi will
continue to contribute to the
stabilization of Japan’s electric power grid.” said Hiroaki
Nakanishi, Chairman & CEO
