A mobile network that allows users to donate 10% of their bill to an organisation or charity of their choice has launched in the UK. The People's Operator (TPO) will also donate 25% of its profits to charities, including the NSPCC and Childline. Chairman Andrew Rosenfeld said he hoped TPO could spread internationally. The network, which went live on Monday, will initially operate as a pay-as-you-go-only service, with contract options becoming available early next year.

Increasing number of Britons are leaving their passwords, login details, passwords and detailed instructions to digital executors who then use that personal information to tidy up web-based information.

Channel 5 has been criticised by broadcast watchdog Ofcom over incidents from this summer's series of Big Brother. Ofcom received 2,085 complaints during the 2012 series of the reality show, and has agreed that viewers' complaints about an incident featuring contestant Conor McIntyre breached its broadcasting code. The second breach followed the closing down of Facebook voting during the series, which meant that fans who had purchased voting credits were unable to use them.

Hildur Lilliendahl Viggsdttir, a well-known Icelandic women's rights campaigner, took a screen grab of a death threat directed at her by another user on their Facebook profile. However, the social network's terms of service do not allow users to take screenshots of and then repost Facebook statuses without the express and written permission of the author - so she has been given a 30-day ban.

Mobile networks want a larger chunk of airwaves to connect phones to the internet, and television services on Freeview, BT and TalkTalk will have to move over to make room. Set top boxes will need to be retuned, some rooftop aerials will need replacing and filters may need to be fitted to homes near masts to prevent mobile interference. Regulators said they would work to minimise the disruption, but the advent of the smartphone is ramping up the amount of data consumed over the airwaves, and there are fears of a "capacity crunch".

Magazines show a higher average ROI than any other media channel involved, including television, internet and newspapers, a Magonomics study by Mindshare and PPA has found. Mindshare analysed econometric data from 77 campaigns with advertising spend of up to GBP6 million, and discovered that magazine spend for the brands reviewed can be doubled before the ROI drops to the same level of TV.
