ACT Stream TV 4K Gets Amazon Prime Video Support

ACT Stream TV 4K, which is the Android TV-based box from ACT Fibernet, is now receiving Amazon Prime Video support. Launched last year, the ACT Stream TV 4K comes bundled with a host of OTT apps like Netflix, ZEE5, Hotstar and so on. However, one popular OTT app missing from the list was Amazon Prime Video. Starting March 2020, new ACT Stream TV 4K users will be able to see Amazon Prime Video coming pre-installed on their device. Existing users of ACT Stream TV 4K will receive a firmware upgrade which will install the application as a system app. Despite the lack of support, we have managed to install Amazon Prime Video app on our ACT Stream TV 4K, but it will now come pre-installed which is a good thing.

Bengaluru: BBMP plans free Wi-Fi in 2,000 locations

Hoping to provide seamless internet connectivity in public places across the city, BBMP has planned to introduce 4,000 free Wi-Fi hotspots in 2,000 locations. In order to implement the long-pending project - initiated in 2014 - the civic agency has collaborated with city-based internet provider Atria Convergence Technologies (ACT), as announced by deputy chief minister CN Ashwath Narayan at the recent Bengaluru Tech Summit. The minister had said, "The project will be implemented by ACT across Bengaluru at their own cost. EV Ramana Reddy, additional chief secretary, IT&BT said, "It has been over three months since the DyCM made the announcement at the tech summit. We held a meeting with ACT on Tuesday to push forward the proposal," he said. "We are more than willing to provide Wi-Fi to people, but we will also have to ensure ACT follows advertising rules," he added. According to the proposal, ACT would like to build hotspots in parks, bus shelters and major roads, but we do not feel it is necessary in parks," he said.
