Photos Copied" Box
Our photos have never been as scattered as they are now... Do you know where your photos are? Digital Photo Roundup Checklist www.theswedishorganizer.com Online Storage Edition Let's Play Digital Photo Roundup! Congrats on making the decision to start organizing your digital photos! I know the task can seem daunting, so hopefully this handy checklist will help get your moving in the right direction. LET'S ORGANIZE! To start organizing your digital photos, you must first gather them all into one place, so that you'll be able to sort and edit your collection. Use this checklist to document your family's online storage accounts (i.e. where you have photos saved online), and whether they are copied onto your Master hub (the place where you are saving EVERYTHING). It'll make the gathering process a whole lot easier if you keep a record of what you have already copied and what is still to be done. HERE'S HOW The services in this checklist are categorized, so that you only need to print out what applies to you. If you have an account with the service listed, simply check the "Have Account" box. When you have copied all the photos, check the "Photos Copied" box. Enter your login credentials under the line between the boxes for easy retrieval. If you don't see your favorite service on the list, just add it to one of the blank lines provided after each category. Once you are done, you should find yourself with all your digital images in ONE place, and when you do, check back on the blog for tools to help you with the next step in the organizing process. -

EU27 Mobile Data Cost Competitiveness Report
Still not convinced that some EU telcos are trying to foreclose the mobile cloud storage market? Rewheel/Digital Fuel Monitor public research note, 6nd June 2014 In April 2014 Digital Fuel Monitor published a list of potentially anti-competitive zero-rated apps by 8 incumbent telcos in 9 European member state markets. Zero-rated apps are telcos’ own or their partners’ applications (e.g. Orange cloud, Facebook, Spotify, etc) that enjoy a special price discriminatory treatment. The mobile data volume generated by these apps does not deplete the end-user open mobile internet volume allowance (unlike any other 3rd party apps and services). Focus on zero-rating mobile cloud storage apps In this insight we take a closer look at telcos’ own zero-rated mobile cloud storage apps in Europe. What makes the mobile cloud storage market interesting from antitrust point of view is the fact that it is a well established, growing market with billions of Euros in annual revenues. A number of big internet companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and a plethora of start-ups such as Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, Mozy, CloudMe, justcloud, Carbonite, livedrive, Tresorit, Hightail, TeamDrive, Infinit, etc. are fighting for consumer attention in a competitive open market. However, the mobile cloud storage market in Europe is just about to stop being open and competitive. Some European incumbent telcos are forcing consumers away from 3rd party mobile cloud storage apps (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) by applying end-user based price discriminatory practices. While the volume generated by 3rd party mobile cloud storage apps depletes the consumers’ monthly mobile volume allowance like any other app used over the mobile network, telco’s own mobile cloud storage apps enjoy a special treatment: consumers could use the apps free over the mobile 3G/4G networks and transfer tens of gigabytes or unlimited volume.
