Tietoviikko reports that Finland (my home country) is the world’s best IT country according to World Economic Forum study The Global Information Technology Report 2013. According to the study, Finland is the world’s number one country when it comes to the economy’s ability to use information technology to competitiveness and prosperity. Finland has toppled Sweden from the top spot in a ranking of economies that are best placed to benefit from new information and communication technologies (ICTs). The question still remains how this result was got because there are many things in Finland ICT that are are far from very good, so are other countries just much lousier on those aspects?
At the core of the report, the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) measures the preparedness of an economy to use ICT to boost competitiveness and well-being. In this edition, Finland (1st), Singapore (2nd) and Sweden (3rd) continue to lead the NRI, with the Netherlands (4th), Norway (5th), Switzerland (6th), the United Kingdom (7th), Denmark (8th), the United States (9th) and Taiwan, China (10th) completing the top 10.
Global Information Technology Report 2013 has a nice map that visualizes the network readiness of different countries.

Nokia has Slush crowds to view their virtual reality camera
Nokia presented Ozo camera is a big hit with visitors at the Helsinki Fair Centre held, today, in the current second day Slush event.
Ozo-camera is a so-called virtual reality camera, ie it describes the eight video camera allows at the same time in all directions. The image produced by the individual cameras are assembled together and then presented to the user.
The video is possible to look at all the major manufacturers of commercial virtual reality glasses.
The viewer can, for example, by turning his head to look back at any time.
Nokia has focused his camera to the fact that it would be most useful for film directors
On the basis of quick tests of experience offered by the camera is impressive, although part of the demo for the picture, there were limits within which the camera images are processed areas were connected.

4G connectivity is difficult to get through the new windows – after a few years the network should also inside buildings
The 4G network is currently being built. Four years later it aims to cover almost the entire population of Finland. The network function of the interior is challenging because new buildings are built so closely.

“In a few years the network should also work inside buildings. It is quite challenging because the new buildings will be built quite closely, is used for modern insulating materials that are good in thermal insulation, but they do not pass the radio signal, including the new windows are of this type. It is quite a challenging project. These obligations must be set to “, Head of the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority frequency monitoring group says Heidi Himmanen Yle.

CEO supercel says: This recipe is made hit game
Every hour on the market to pop 14 new mobile game. The three most popular game still takes income from an estimated third of the field, says CEO Ilkka Paananen supercel belonging to the founder of the duo.
Paananen spoke Tuesday growth companies referred to in Kaski event. He said the company had grown slowly, partly because it has no targets to recruit a certain number of new professionals. The company hires the best person when one is received. It can take from a couple of years.
The world’s best team for stacking to keep looking for talent from abroad. 60 per cent of recruitment is directed to international experts in. For them, Finland can offer surprising advantages: the world’s best school system for free is a good carrot for experts.
Supercel item has been hit by three hit game Clash of Clans, Hay Day and boom beach.
How competitive mobile gaming industry to maximize the probability of hit?
Paananen thinks lists three main factors: luck, enough time and a good team.
For luck nothing can be done.
The time instead of the game startup may acquire development work to scrape by as much investment money as possible. It allows the plans can be made in the long term and not to worry about constantly runs out of money.
Supercel founders did not attempt to scrape together the cake as big returns for themselves but to increase the size of the cake. They invested in the company rather than take their own interests in first place.
Is the game industry a new Nokia?
“Of course not”; Paananen says. He would like to see Finland in the future, such as many in the gaming industry ecosystems.

Nokia’s Ozo VR Camera Marks a Rebirth for the Phone Giant
http://www.wired.com/2015/11/nokia-ozo-vr-camera/
He’s looking into the lens array on the Ozo, Nokia’s spherical virtual reality camera. Microphones on the Ozo are picking up his speech, and the whispers of those around him. Through my VR headset and headphones, I can see and hear whatever the Ozo is seeing an hearing nearly as effectively as if it were my own eyes and ears.
It’s not the first time I’ve tried a VR a headset, but it’s the first time I’ve ever experienced something like this. Instead of diving into 3D computer-generated simulation of a pre-prepared world, Nokia’s next-gen spherical camera is actually teleporting me across the room in real time. But that distance of just a few feet could easily be hundreds of miles. That possibility in particular speaks to Nokia’s plan.
Designed and built in Finland, Nokia’s VR camera is made of aluminum, is big about the size of a human head, and weighs less than 10 pounds. The device, which sort of resembles a puffer fish, hosts eight 2K by 2K resolution cameras, each spaced out so the distance between lenses is the same as the distance between two human eyes. This helps the Ozo recreate a realistic view of all perspectives as you move your head around. Images are processed in pairs to create the best possible stereoscopic effect. There are microphones all over it too, Rantanen says. “Since audio is at least half of the virtual reality experience, we’ve built eight microphones into OZO for 3D audio capture,” he tells me.
The Ozo is set to be unveiled on November 30 in Los Angeles, and expected to cost around $50,000. That’s about three times the price tag of the GoPro Odyssey. However, while the GoPro’s footage must still be assembled in laborious post-production processes, the Ozo can generate a full 360-degree stereoscopic video in real time. Thanks to HD-SDI connections on the body, the camera can stream 1.5 Gbps of compressed RAW footage to store data from the streams from the eight lens, broadcast full 360-degree panoramic video, and also stream a low-res feed for monitoring.
The camera is Wi-Fi enabled, too, allowing filmmakers to control the system remotely in real time while shooting.
Nokia’s bold move into virtual reality is a clear statement that the Finns are still alive, and that they’re more interested in the projected $150 billion dollar VR industry than they are in the mobile handset industry.

Leadership hibernation
A November Sote-match and getting showed a very clear way what happens when you take a lead. The results created a tight schedule!
Prime Minister Sipilä considered whether good or bad leadership, it is a matter of taste. Also, the final results may be questionable, but I can not be without considering all the things to be accomplished if the Finnish company in the world would be a similar leadership posture movement.
Too often overlooked by lead firms. Everyday life being overwhelmed by a tidal wave on the way, and imagined that securing the smooth running of everyday life is good management. Decisions are made only painful things that rubs your everyday life like a stone in the shoe. Sink into the leadership to hibernate.
However, the management of everyday life can be found in the smooth running of their own officers, managers. Managers role is to ensure the company is led towards the vision and, of course, to do it profitably. The strategy is not written in books and covers a five-year plan, but at best it is agile and flexible, about 200 strategic decision making in everyday life, annually.
Even the fact that the stop in the middle of tsunamis and focus on leadership, great things can be achieved. Yet there is only of leadership at zero, because the stagnation of leadership begins to lift the level of the journey.
Vision must be clear and marks a step towards the vision clear. Rima is kept high at all times: aim big and important steps, but at the same time it is accepted that all the objectives may not be achieved during 120 days. The most important thing is that the measures have been initiated and the train is proceeding full steam. Where is achieved miracles.
Critical management is the ability to communicate a vision and a step marks a clear, since strategic decisions are made in different sizes, in different levels of the organization, every day.
Genuine leadership also requires bold decisions and the ability to react to changes quickly. It requires a management system and sometimes even organizational re-design.

Intensely creative understanding of corporate strategy, rules of the game
Know-how and experience in data lay the foundation for human action. In general, the effect of the operation is expected to positively: the more knowledge and experience, the more likely it produces the desired results. When you want a transgressor of borders – and the search for radically new, no previous expertise and experience is always, however, is not only unequivocally good things.
- On the contrary, Development Director Risto Linturi says.
- They can act in a completely new way of thinking and insight disincentives; as effective as a firewall searching usual unusual. This can be in many ways harmful for the company’s innovation.
Inexperience efficient creativity threat to our country’s competitiveness
Linturi believes that thinking is too often superficial. One of the reasons he likes the transformation of organizations more stringent for since the 90s.
- As a result, people are given specific roles and tasks according to the roles, in line with the organization’s structure. The structure is understood to be challenged, mainly geographical or task-limits and their movements, not by questioning the paradigms.
This is due to the inexperience of creative thinking.
- A creative person could come up with quite a wealth of radical ideas. Most of them are bad or employers’ organization unsuitable. Furthermore, the analysis of ideas takes time.
Many of the ideas to churn out people have been pushed aside.
- In part this has occurred because of the new ideas is not easily understood, even when they are good and partly because the untrained thinker to churn out the organization’s processes, too many poor-quality ideas, Linturi notes.
Creativity should her husband be effective.
- A creative person should be critical and careful and understand the organizational theory and business strategy, rules of the game. Thus, the world’s improvement ideas should not submit your own organization if your organization the competitive conditions they do not heal, Linturi says.
However, Finland is in dire need big leaps – residues are then bytes dé mindset, or through some other kind of reflection.
- Incremental innovations and the strengthening of the structures seem to lead to more minor improvements in relation to inputs, Linturi claims.
- Our position in the global economy will disappear, if we can not radical changes, as well as in business and the public sector. Manoeuvring Organization of the borders is not the answer to these questions, since it is thought to still traditional terms.

Nokia’s OZO 360 degree virtual reality camera for professionals is available for pre-order today for $60K, to start shipping in Q1 2016
Nokia OZO is a $60,000 360-degree camera for VR pros
http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-ozo-is-a-60000-360-degree-camera-for-vr-pros-30416438/
Nokia may not be the first name you’d associate with virtual reality, but the Finns are aiming to make a splash with OZO, their $60k VR camera. Teased back in July, and up for preorder from today, the oddly-shaped camera signifies one of Nokia Technology’s new businesses after it and its smartphone division parted ways in 2014.
Of everything we thought Nokia could do next, a 360-degree camera that looks halfway between a 2001: A Space Odyssey prop and a cyberpunk sperm probably wasn’t it. Nonetheless, even with the eye-watering price confirmed today, it’s likely to have videographers drooling.
Studding the sphere are eight cameras in total, each recording at 2K x 2K resolution. Their placement means full 360 x 180 degree recording, with a global shutter that means none of the artifacts you might expect from a rolling shutter.
Meanwhile, eight microphones record full spherical, 360 x 360 degree audio. That means not only what’s going on around the camera, but sound from different elevations above and below.
As well as opening pre-orders, Nokia has also confirmed the specifications for the camera. Each lens has a 195-degree angle of view and an f/2.4 aperture, with a base sensitivity of ISO 400 and 10 stop dynamic range.
Video is captured at 30 fps, and stored on a 500GB solid-state drive “media module”; each is good for 45 minutes of footage. Control is via a suite of remote apps for OS X and Windows, with the camera controlled over WiFi, though there are also HDMI and stereoscopic VR render outputs.
Final footage is rendered at 8K x 10K with 10-bit sRGB color.
What we shouldn’t expect is a VR viewer with the Nokia logo, nor indeed a movie download store from the firm. “We have no plans to enter the head-mounted display business,” Paul Melin, vice president of digital media at Nokia told me. “We went to partner with the entire ecosystem and be compatible with all platforms.”
That means anything from Samsung’s Gear VR accessory for its Galaxy smartphones, through to dedicated VR hardware like Oculus’ Rift and HTC’s Vive.
“We clearly see this as a new category and OZO is our first product,” Melin says. “We are entering a business and a category and not doing a one-off test product.”

Upload the online “free” movie? It may point I really be sued
Finnish law firms have sent thousands of Finns bear the letters, which require compensation of up to a thousand Internet downloaded or shared from the movie. Offer objectors are threatened with legal proceedings, the first of which are already under way.
Thousands of Finns have received during the summer and fall of letters in which the recipient of the letter is accused of unauthorized sharing or downloading movies online.
Law Office can not be fined or charged the citizens of infringement of intellectual property rights. The letter is rather a call to the law firm to agree the matter with the owner of copyright in the film company by paying a compensation of EUR 600-3000.
If the offer is not accepted, the letter recipients are threatened with legal proceedings.
Copyright detection of violations of law firms make use of technical experts for help. Specialists peer to peer traffic and collect movies illegally downloading and sharing of machine-specific IP addresses.
IP addresses collected firma disclose the information office of the law, which may, in turn, is now asking the Market Court decision to disclose the address of the holder contacts.
During the past year, such a request for information applications have been submitted to the Market Court for 154. Last year the figure was 103.
Hedman Partners Law Firm Lawyer Joni Hatanmaa describes the collection of addresses “control infrastructure” to build.
The first lawsuits pending
“Letters to end up in the innocent”
The letters sent to it, on whose behalf the internet is, and not necessarily for which property rights have been infringed. Thus, the bear ends up letters to the innocent, says the law firm Turre Legal affairs lawyer specializing in copyright Herkko Hietanen.
- It is quite common that people think of wireless network connections in apartment buildings open. It may be that the system operator is not aware of what is going on there.
Therefore, guilt is not easy to demonstrate in court.
Cashes?
Turre Legal sell your own counseling service for those who have received Hedman Partners bear the letters. In practice, the company is negotiating credits required bear the letters received lower than a compensation. Some customers do not want to pay for a refund, a part to insure that it is not guilty of lawlessness.
The content of the complaint are Hedman Partners Representative own words. In a story has been written in this way: “[The agent] Pending Hedman Partners receive hands during the year more than 10 000 Finnish contacts Bear Letters to the law firm has been sending out thousands of addresses.”.

Internet of things will be ruined without risk
The actual potential of the industrial Internet remains untapped, if it is used only to existing business opportunities. It is expected to be the case, that an external service provider will package the company, when the company gets enhanced the existing business.
In Finland, we have already become accustomed to collect data, but the industrial on the internet is not a mere everything possible of sensors. Data becomes meaningful and valuable only to the analysis. The difficulty and the fun lies in the fact that, before the data collection is difficult to say what the ultimate outcome will be.
Currently it is precisely this restricts the industrial development of the Internet. The most economically difficult time, companies are reluctant to invest in, and each euro spent must produce a profit.
When you begin to analyze the data, it should be regarded with an open mind. While it is important to step up their own business and make it data using the most productive, but the main innovations are usually the result of business opportunities that open up completely new markets and services. Grossing lottery winnings are ideas that can not be seen or predicting before the data analysis.
What is certain is that if opportunities are not to be researched, a new innovation remains not be born. The American major companies have a lot more money to find new golden eggs than Finnish medium-sized companies, so focus on analyzing the data have a lower risk.
Industrial Internet business in a productive and robust recovery is not an easy task, and many recognize the need for external support. Needed to bridge the business and IT.

Through the sewer to industrial Internet tip
Even in the sewer of a new radio technology testing is a Finnish company Espotel business director Jaakko Lower Paavola scope of research. He pulls IOT units in the company, which is ponkaissut industrial forefront of the Internet globally.
Lower Paavola employer Espotel adopted in November Lora a new radio technology, the world’s first test facilities, together with the German company. Early in the year the company joined the first in Finland, according to the global ARM’s mbed community, which includes 41 companies.
Each technology is closely linked to the industrial Internet.
Paavola is close to this as he pulls Espotel which started in the autumn of IoT business units and include Industrial Internet Tekes strategic steering group of the program.
“Finland is IoT deployments in good standing, have a lot of start-up companies and visibility, but a small concern I have here. Does the Nokia way, so that competitors will go over when too much focus on the technology, “he asks.
Despite the concern to Jaakko Lower Paavola likes to talk about technology – as long as it serves the real needs. The current issue is Lora-radio technology.
“Espotel is now the official Lora certification body and the world’s first, is capable of initiating the date of testing service in one since,” he says.
“Lora is responsible for many of the UNCHR’s needs. It allows to create a network that covers the industrial plant or logistics center. ”
Espotel is going to a number of new technologies that utilize customer projects. The company has already committed Lora technology to the rest of Europe.
“Low power mode was achieved by long-range and was reached through the structures. It was an important result, ”
Espotel technology leader Jaakko Lower Paavola emphasizes the digitalisation industry perspective on business transformation. Hard technological expertise alone is not enough, but it processes new business and customer-oriented services.
“Tekes industrial internet program, one question is how the data to create added value. I believe that this side does not progress in Finland as well as it should. ”
As a public reference Lower Paavola to raise the reputation of the world’s bestselling another Finnish company Enevon management solution. In the waste container placed in the sensor indicates when the tank starts to be filled.
“We developed waste bins measuring equipment, and Enevo sell waste collection optimization service,” Ala-Paavola says.

Example Companies are likely wanted to do more business, but the electronic systems in digital form, the client information processing was half-heartedly. If you want to get “caught” a potential buyer, you should tune processes and services to support that goal. Random Making rarely brings the best results. Digitalization ultimate idea of when in my opinion, is that the company take advantage of IT opportunities offered in order to provide those products and services that will appeal to customers and at the same time to produce the expected results of the business. IT is a great help when you want to develop the business and improve the result – it is a good servant, not a flamboyant host.

Estonian state will rebuild all the major IT system every 13 years. The new building will be cheaper than repairing the old, reminds the Estonian government CIO Taavi Kotka.
“It is inconceivable how much money the Finnish and Swedish states will have to use to maintain the existing IT systems. In Estonia, we may do so. Our policy is to replace all major IT systems every 13 years, “says Eagle.
However, everything old did not want to deliberately throw into the dustbin
“We have, for example, highly functional small system in order to obtain a fishing permit. It is based on text messages does not need to be reformed. But many of the larger, related, for example, social security benefits and medical records, public administration systems need to be renewed at regular intervals. ”
“It is much cheaper to build new than to take duct tape and keep the old systems to force action. The world is also changing rapidly. For example, e-health-system was built 10 years ago. Then many things were different than now. Equipment and technology have evolved, as well as the security requirements. ”
In Estonia, many official things run smoothly online. For example, 95 per cent of Estonians to their tax affairs online service.
Estonia ahead of that of Finland, looks already quite long.
“Let’s not make comparisons between Finland and Estonia. The information society perspective of the Nordic countries have the potential to build something great – I think Estonia in this context as one of the Nordic countries.
