Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    Cox plans own cellular network: report

    (Reuters) - Cox Communications is expected to announce later on Monday that it plans to have its own cellular network up and running next year, the Los Angeles Times said.

    The company plans to build its own network in its cable service area and partner with Sprint Nextel Corp for roaming calls outside those areas, the paper said.

    Wireless phone service will add to Cox's video, phone and Internet services to head off competition from phone companies such as AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, which already have wireless service, the paper said.

    Cox was accused by Verizon Communications of infringing six patents related to Internet telephony, but a U.S. jury, earlier this month, ruled against Verizon on all six patents.

    Cox could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters.
