These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

  • 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of A
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 28 February 2017 Subject: Public 22 Bishopsgate London EC2N 4BQ Construction of a building arranged on three basement floors, ground and 58 upper floors plus mezzanines and plant comprising floorspace for use within Classes A and B1 of the Use Classes Order and a publicly accessible viewing gallery and facilities (sui generis); hard and soft landscaping works; the provision of ancillary servicing and other works incidental to the development. (201,449sq.m. GEA) Ward: Lime Street For Decision Registered No: 16/01150/FULEIA Registered on: 24 November 2016 Conservation Area: St Helen's Place Listed Building: No Summary The planning application relates to the site of the 62 storey tower (294.94m AOD) granted planning permission in June 2016 and which is presently being constructed. The current scheme is for a tower comprising 59 storeys at ground and above (272.32m AOD) with an amended design to the top. The tapering of the upper storeys previously approved has been omitted and replaced by a flat topped lower tower. In other respects the design of the elevations remains as before. The applicants advise that the lowering of the tower in the new proposal is in response to construction management constraints in relation to aviation safeguarding issues. The planning application also incorporates amendments to the base of the building, the public realm and to cycle space provision which were proposed in a S73 amendment application and which your Committee resolved to grant on 28 November 2016, subject to a legal agreement but not yet issued. The building would provide offices, retail at ground level, a viewing gallery with free public access at levels 55 and 56 and a public restaurant and bar at levels 57 and 58.

  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

  • Housing: Overview
    Appendix 1a - Housing: Overview What are the benefits we're pursuing for Londoners? 1) More Londoners have access to good quality homes that meet their needs and that they can afford. 2) Londoners renting privately will get a better deal and be protected from criminal landlords. 3) The scourge of homelessness will be tackled and all rough sleepers will be offered a route off the streets. Governance and risk Targets and objectives Timescales Spend A AGG Updates Highlights and progress Affordable homes (and land) - To the end of December, 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. The Mayor's new Building Council Homes for Londoners programme is now in delivery and the first units (121) are captured in this figure. Allocations are in place for about 107,000 affordable homes against the overall target; this is good progress with over three years left to add starts. - A planning application was submitted to LB Newham for 5,000 homes on land owned by the GLA and joint venture partners Keystone. Rogue Landlord and Agents Checker (RLAC) - Media coverage by the Guardian, in which it contrasted the Checker favourably with the Government's national database, led to higher than expected visits to the RLAC; there have been 74,600 clicks since this metric began to be tracked (ie. over the 2018 calendar year). Homelessness - No Second Night Out (NSNO) floating assessment hubs took place in Newham, Lambeth and Hackney in Q3 with further hubs planned for Westminster, Southwark and Camden in Q4.

  • Guided Tour Pre-Visit Activity Ideas
    Guided tour Pre-visit activity ideas Local history/Geography/IT Have a search online for the tallest buildings in London with your class; what do they look like? Your pupils could make a list of tall buildings to bring along when you visit and see how many of them you can see from the walkway during your guided tour. Teacher note: you’ll definitely see the Shard, City Hall, the London Eye, the BT Tower, the Monument, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Gherkin (30 St. Mary Axe), the Scalpel, the Walkie Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street), the Tower of London and London Bridge. If there is time you’ll also see the view from the East Walkway towards Canary Wharf. Geography/History The River Thames has greatly contributed to the development of London. Research with your class how the River Thames has been used in the past – has its use changed? What is the River Thames used for today? Think about who uses the Thames today and see how many different ways of using the Thames you can see on the day of your visit during your guided tour. Teacher note: The Thames was originally used for transporting people and trade, as transporting by water was much cheaper than overland. Nowadays the Thames is used by boats transporting people mostly (tourists and commuters) and to a lesser extent goods using barges and tug boats. Geography/Maths/English How are you going to be traveling to and from Tower Bridge on your school trip? Set your pupils the challenge of working it out! Can you use public transport? Which buses or trains will get you from school to Tower Bridge? What time do you need to leave? If you need do any walking, are there any landmarks you’ll walk past to help you find your way? Teacher note: Access to TFL journey planner website, maps of your local area and maps of central London would be helpful with this activity.

The assessment considers the effect of the Proposed Development in the context of heritage legislation and policy on a number of designated heritage assets, all of which are less than 500m from the boundary of the Site. These designated heritage assets have been identified as those which could be potentially affected, in terms of their ‘significance’ as defined in the NPPF, as a result of development on the Site. It should be read in conjunction with the Built Heritage Assessment (“BHA”), which assesses the effect of the Proposed Development on the setting of heritage assets in the wider area, and the Townscape and visual impact assessment (“TVIA”), both within the Environmental Statement Volume II (ref NQ.PA.08 Vol. 2), also prepared by Peter Stewart Consultancy. A section of the grade I listed Dock wall runs below ground through the Site. This aspect of the project is assessed in detail in the Archaeological Desk Based Assessment accompanying the outline planning application and LBC (ref.
