Today's Story Highlights

Airbnb Offers to Give a Little in NY, SF Tussles

Airbnb recently proposed changes to its listing policies for short-term
rental property owners in New York City and San Francisco, possibly in
response to threats of aggressive action from state and local lawmakers.
With respect to New York operations, Airbnb on Wednesday proposed a set
of five changes in an article penned by Chris Lehane, the company's
global head of public policy.

Samsung Bows Under Note7 Fallout

Three owners of Galaxy Note7 smartphones this week filed a complaint in
a federal court in Newark, New Jersey, that could become a class action
lawsuit against Samsung. "Plaintiffs and the Class have suffered injury
in fact, incurred millions of dollars in fees, and have otherwise been
harmed by Samsung's conduct," the complaint states. Samsung has recalled
the phones and stopped producing them.

Red Hat and Ericsson Forge 5G, IoT Open Source Alliance

Red Hat and Ericsson on Wednesday announced an alliance meant to speed
adoption of open source solutions in the information and communications
technology space. The alliance will help promote a range of fully open
source and production-ready cloud solutions, spanning OpenStack,
software defined-networking and software-defined infrastructure, the
companies said.

Year-End Deals on Track for Federal IT Providers

Just when most of the country is on vacation -- including the U.S.
Congress -- federal government agencies become active in awarding
contracts. The federal fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, and many agencies
wait until the last quarter of the year to make acquisitions. The last
few months have brought billions of dollars in federal contracts for
information technology providers.

AI and Customer Loyalty

AI and machine learning have taken the industry by storm. Some say they
will usher in a new age of better business processes and customer
orientation, while others fret that automation will kill jobs. There
definitely will be jobs that no longer make sense for humans to do,
thanks to automation. However, there are some neglected business
processes where AI and ML could make real contributions.
