EC

Online poker room European leader and part of the iPoker Network, TitanPoker.com is to send a large delegation of talented poker players to the Europe’s most prestigious poker tournament series ECPokerTour event in Malta this November.

The ECPokerTour Malta tournament appeared to be the latest event in the euro City Poker Tour; two previous ones were staged in May in Salzburg, and in Madrid last year. 

According to a recent report on e-commerce from the EC, about 30% of customers have bought at least one item online. In some certain countries, like UK, France, and Germany, this figure is even higher. An annual transactional value totaled €100 billion.

Nevertheless, only 7% of customers acquire their goods online from a vendor based in another member state, so the gap between domestic and overseas e-commerce is extending.

On Wednesday the European Commission fined Intel $1.44 billion, that appeared to become the largest antitrust penalty the Commission has ever levied against any single company. That happened as EC found the company guilty of breaking antitrust law in PC microprocessors market.

The European Commission unveiled an interesting fact: half of 10 year old kids in the EU own mobile phones. This figure reaches 95% concerning all the kids under 16 years old. However parents are still anxious that their children are not protected enough.  

So, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland and Luxembourg don’t have "voluntary" agreements requiring operators to control access to adult-orientated material. In those countries only 41% of operators worry whether those measures are working.
