Flat Rock Police Sergeant Indicted On Illegal Gambling Charges
The people assigned to protect and enforce the law are not always on the right side of that law. In Detroit, a police officer has been indicted on charges relating to the officer’s participation in an illegal sports betting operation. The officer was joined by a public works employee that was all charged with the crime.Flat Rock Sergeant Charles Sanders Jr. was charged with 14 counts of illegal sports betting, and racketeering. A Trenton city worker, Kevin Sergent was also charged with the same crimes. The pair had been running an illegal sports betting operation in which they collected on bets while on duty.The arresting agency claims that on at least one occasion, Sgt. Sanders Jr. collected on the bets while in his police car. As for Sargent, he collected during work hours. The pair was arraigned today, and it is not yet known whether they will plead guilty or non-guilty to the charges.Sports betting is one of the most popular forms of gambling in the US, although it is only legal in several states. Nevada is the only state that has operational sports books. Gamblers are free to travel to Nevada to place their bets, but they also must cash in winning tickets in the state. Gamblers are not permitted to claim their winnings through the mail or from a remote location outside of Nevada.With only one available area of the country for gamblers to place bets, most rely on underground bookies to place their bets. In the past decade, many overseas sports books have been set up through the Internet, where gamblers can set up accounts, transfer funds, and place bets through their home computers.The US reinforced that online sports gambling is illegal in an opinion released by the Department of Justice around the holidays last year. The ruling did, however, open the door for online poker and other forms of online gambling to become regulated in states around the US.New Jersey lawmakers have passed a bill that allows sports betting at Atlantic City casinos and state race tracks. Before the law can become official and sports books can open, the state will have to request a federal court overturn the 1992 law that claims that sports betting is illegal. Senator Raymond Lesniak and other New Jersey lawmakers are prepared to argue that the the law is unconstitutional, allowing some states to offer sports betting, while other cannot.

Ofcom unveils plans for greater 4G coverage
Ofcom has announced its plans for the forthcoming 4G spectrum auction in the UK following another consultation.It has pledged to make sure that at least four operators are able to offer decent 4G services to ensure competition, while also looking at ways to provide mobile data to areas currently not serviced due to geographical constraints.4G networks will offer much-enhanced data speeds and bandwidth once deployed and, thanks to the current switching off of analogue TV signals, there’s now a whole heap of spectrum at the 800MHz band that Ofcom is planning to auction off to mobile operators at the end of 2012.With the Government pledging 150m to improve data coverage in the UK to offer broadband speeds to remote villages, Ofcom believes it can use this to entice at least one mobile operator to cover at least 98% of the population, with the auction carrying a condition that each bidder must offer at least 95% UK coverage too.But you still can’t use your mobile from your bedOfcom also mentioned the 2.6GHz band of spectrum that can be used for 4G – this higher frequency has a higher bandwidth but much shorter reach, so Ofcom believes that this will be ideal for creating local area hotspots, such as for hospitals or student campuses.Ofcom Chief Executive, Ed Richards, said: "This is a crucial step in preparing for the most significant spectrum release in the UK for many years. The proposals published today will influence the provision of services to consumers for the next decade and beyond."The UK benefits from being one of the most competitive mobile phone markets in Europe. This means that consumers pay less for mobile communications services and have the choice to shop around for packages that suit them best. "As the UK enters a new generation of mobile communications, Ofcom’s objective is to promote effective competition and to stimulate both investment and innovation."In addition we are proposing a significant enhancement of mobile broadband, extending 4G coverage beyond levels of existing 2G coverage helping to serve many areas of the UK that have traditionally been underserved by network coverage."

Top 3 Internet companies pay fines for Accepting Gaming advertisements
According to Associated Press, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have agreed to pay a total of $31.5 million to U.S authorities to settle a claim that they accepted online ads that promoting gambling in an illegal manner. When settling the claim, the companies did not make an admission of guilt that they illegally accepted payments from online gaming firms between 1997 and 2007. Yahoo will pay $3 million and fund an educational advertising campaign at a cost of $4.5 million. Google will pay authorities $3 million. Microsoft will pay a total $21 million, 33% going to to a charity fund for exploited children. It will also find a $9 million, 3 year advertising campaign against illegal gambling among young people. All 3 companies claim that they stopped accepting gambling related ads more than 3 years ago. Editors note: This argument has strong evidence among thousands of online gambling promoting businesses such as casino operators and affiliates (website owners) who have been trying unsuccessfully to place such ads on one of the 3 major search engines (Microsofts MSN, Google and Yahoo). The ads were immediately rejected for violating the Terms & Conditions agreement, hence strengthening the companies claims of refusing to accept the gambling bids.
