Big Tech Giants, Google and Facebook among others, to pay for content

We all owe a lot to Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and their ilk for making our lives much easier because the sheer dominance of social media has been a huge boost for common people to find answers to their questions.

Facebook

However, the Indian government has decided that these big tech giants for now have to pay a sufficient amount to the news publishers for using their original content. The government has mulled over the matter for quite some time and come to the conclusion that now these bigshot companies will have to share the revenue.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for IT and Electronics, said that the central government is thinking about changing the IT laws as it is of the opinion that digital advertising has tremendous market pull that these tech giants want to use to their advantage and it won’t bode well for Indian media companies.

Countries like Japan, Australia, Canada, Spain and France have already adopted this process because they want to make sure that their original news publishers get due credit and monetary compensation for their hard work and India too wants to follow suit on the issue.

LG Tone FP9 review: Quality features at an expensive price point

The premium segment of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds market has been growing exponentially in India and globally. There is no shortage of products under the premium TWS (priced at Rs 5000). The market is flooded with options when it comes to true wireless earphones in India, no matter whether it is budget or premium segment. There has been increased competition among brands offering premium TWS. Apple, Sony, Sennheiser, Samsung and LG are prominent brands known for offering premium TWS.

LG has recently refreshed its portfolio of premium TWS segments by introducing LG Tone FP9. Priced at Rs29990, the latest TWS by the LG wireless earphones comes with impressive specifications and features, including active noise cancellation, Meridian Audio, three microphone systems for advanced call quality, fast charging, IPX4 rating, UV nano charging and medical-grade hypoallergenic ear gels. Currently, the pair of earbuds can be grabbed at Rs16,990 at Amazon. While all of this makes the LG Tone FP9 sounds impressive on paper, good is this wireless earbud in uses? Find out in my review:

The LG Tone FP9 comes with a glossy finish, with appropriate size stems. The LG Tone FP9 available in two colours – black and white, and looks decent overall. The brand is also offering Ganesha Case, priced Rs1499 to protect Tonefree from external shock. The review unit came with the case that not only enhances its looks & feels but also helped me stay connected with Lord Ganesha every single time I grabbed the earbuds.

To control the various aspects of the LG Tone FP9, the earbud is equipped with a single touch-sensitive zone on each earpiece. To answer and end calls, the left or right earbud needs to be touched once and twice, respectively. While making the call through the connected mobile phone, the call gets automatically connected to the headset.

To receive the incoming calls, it is just needed to touch the left or right earbud once, while to reject any call left or right earbud needs to be to touch and hold the left or right earbud.

My experience with the LG Tone FP9 for the last 15 days has been very positive. I was able to use the Tone FP9 earpieces for a little under six hours per charge, with an additional two charges from the case, for a total of around 18 hours of battery life per charge cycle.

There was no slight feeling of roughness in the outside sound that did funnel through using ANC, and the ambient sound mode seemed to excessively amplify household sounds even in a relatively quiet room. With ANC on, I enjoyed quality sound for call and listening to audio and video while travelling and in noise surrounding. For calls, the LG Tone Free FP9 performed well, and I had no complaints in this regard during my time with the earphones.

Launched as successor to the LG TONE Free FN7, LG Tone FP9 offers good build quality and a better fit in the ear. It is an easy to wear and stay fitted in your ear for long hours.

The rear side of the case has a USB-C port for wired charging and connectivity. Wireless charging is supported by the case. The inner side of the case has a blue accent light that glows up every time you open the case. This light gives a sense that the case features UVnano tech to remove bacteria from the earbuds.

Talking about the UVnano tech, it is integrated in the case to sanitise the earbuds’ speaker unit and mesh around through ultraviolet radiation. This feature works only when the case, with earbuds resting in it, is on charge.
