Besides license fees, Nigerian logistics players to remit 2% of their annual revenue
Mobility & Logistics
Editor's PickInsight
Emmanuel Paul July 28, 2020 0 0
On Thursday, July 23, 2020, the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy approved a new set of regulations for logistics and courier companies. Possibly due to the outcry on social media, the Ministry suspended this decision. However, our investigations reveal that might not be enough for smaller logistics players in Lagos state.
The Nigerian Postal Service released a new list of guidelines for companies which included licences and other regulations that seem geared toward restricting competition.
The international licence fee for companies like DHL increased from ₦10 million ($25,800) to ₦20 million ($51,600), with renewal pegged at ₦8 million ($20,645) — 40% of the original fee.
The national licence fee for companies like GIG Logistics (GIGL) operating around the country went from ₦2 million ($5,160) to ₦10 million ($25,800), with a ₦4 million ($10,300) renewal cost.
The regional licence for companies operating within a geopolitical zone was placed at ₦5 million ($12,900), with a ₦2 million ($5,160) renewal cost.
Operators within a state would have to pay ₦2 million ($5,160) and renew at ₦800,000 ($2064). Those that operate within a particular area in the state (municipality) would have to pay ₦1 million and renew at ₦400,000 ($1,032).
As part of the newly introduced categories, municipal operators with less than five bikes will be required to get the SME Licence which NIPOST pegged at ₦250,000 ($645).
Considering the increased financial hardships being experienced in the country, the backlash that followed the announcement was understandable. As data from the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) shows, online transactions dropped drastically in volume and value during the lockdown.
Encouragingly, businesses have been moving online and logistics platforms have been key drivers for e-commerce.
Following the backlash and subsequent suspension, we observed an interesting feature of the Federal ICT Ministry's response.
Pls @NipostNgn, our attention has been drawn to an increase of licence fee, which was not part of the regulation I earlier APPROVED for you. Your Chair and PMG were YESTERDAY contacted to put the implementation on hold and send a report to our ministry by Monday. Best wishes!
— Isa Ali Pantami, PhD (@DrIsaPantami) July 25, 2020
NIPOST is allowed by law to regulate fees, charges, and penalties without having to seek the final approval of the Federal Ministry of Communications and the Digital Economy.
The obvious question is if the Minister did not see the changes in fees, what exactly was approved?
What else was approved besides increased fees?

Besides the increment in fees, NIPOST made some important updates to its logistics and courier regulations which Dr Pantami's office likely approved, unless they also escaped their attention.
We highlight some major sections of the new regulations that we found particularly interesting as a result of their importance, ambiguity, or seemingly anti-competitive practices, given NIPOST's status as a player-regulator.
A courier and logistics licensee may be de-registered if it carries on any activity outside the scope of its licence — Regulation 2(4)
Companies to perform free on-demand deliveries for the Nigerian government.
The Minister may request any courier service operator through the Postmaster General to undertake free delivery service for the purpose of the universal postal service obligations or any social service delivery in the national interest. Where so requested, the operator is required to carry out such a service.
However, the meaning of "universal postal service obligations" or "social service delivery" is not clearly defined.
Operators must record every letter or any other light item with NIPOST for processing and delivery.
Items/articles such as Statements of Accounts, Cheques, Letters etc. weighing below 0.5kg must be recorded at the nearest post office of the NIPOST for processing and delivery. Any operator that fails to comply with this requirement will be liable to pay a penalty of 90% of the amount charged on the item by such operator.
NIPOST to control mergers and acquisitions
Companies are to submit proposals for partnership, acquisition, takeover, merger, and alliance to the Postmaster General ("PMG") for approval (and filing copies of the terms of partnership with the PMG) among others.
Mergers and acquisitions in Nigeria are normally the purviews of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), and it not clear why NIPOST wants in too.
Companies to remit 2% of their annual revenue
There is now an obligation on a courier operator to contribute a sum equal to 2% of its total annual revenue to the Postal Fund, which will be used for postal development and delivery of postal services in rural and underserved areas.
However, it is not clear if the Ministry is within its rights to introduce another source of funding for NIPOST, given that Nigerian law already states how NIPOST should be funded. This is through:
money allocated to the Nigerian Postal Service by the Federal Government; and
such revenues from postal and non-postal services rendered by the Nigerian Postal Service.
On the importance of regulation
The NIPOST stated that the new regulations were meant to weed out bad eggs and improve consumer confidence in any logistics provider.
When the Lagos state government banned commercial motorcycles (Okada) in January 2020, several of the riders pivoted to deliveries. Juggernauts like GIG Logistics absorbed platforms like 1st Ride to facilitate the latter's pivot to deliveries.
With the entry of several new players (including private bike riders and on-demand services) into the industry, it is important to consider regulations that protect consumers from the bad eggs.
Before this regulation, NIPOST only had licences for big players like DHL and GIG Logistics. Smaller businesses either had to form partnerships or operate under the radar. However, the attached ₦250,000 ($645) fee for SMEs is still relatively high.
According to Mobolaji Akintokunbo, CEO of recently-launched on-demand logistics startup, WAeY Hailing, regulations are important, but they should be made with current economic realities in mind.
"I am supportive of the government regulating any industry but when it comes to pricing, it should be made affordable. You can't possibly tell someone who probably borrowed money to purchase a bike to pay ₦250,000 ($645) for a licence," he argues.
Adetayo Bamuduro, Co-founder of MAX.ng states that the new regulations, especially for the SME category, assume that everyone running a delivery service is a courier company.
"By the proposed regulations, are we saying a lady operating a restaurant with one or two delivery bikes is running a courier company?" he asks.
Questions from baffling regulations such as these arise when the government does not consult with stakeholders playing in the space. None of the logistics providers we spoke to were contacted or given any notice it seems.
Besides the puzzling questions behind its proposed regulation, NIPOST is also a logistics provider, but its services have not been up to par for many.
Surayyah Ahmad, Co-founder & CEO, YDS Online, believes that considering NIPOST's inefficiencies as a logistics provider over the years, its position as a regulator and a player comes under closer scrutiny.
Ahmad insists that NIPOST has failed to address several issues in the logistics sector, and its latest move does nothing to help its cause.
NIPOST, the player and regulator
Under Nigerian law, NIPOST has the power to regulate the sector (subject to the approval of the Minister) and also be a player simultaneously.
As strange as it seems, being both a player and regulator is common in Nigeria. A similar instance can be found with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in Nigeria's oil and gas sector.
The same could also be found in Nigeria's power sector where PHCN governs the use of electricity in Nigeria. To this day, private entities generating their power still have to pay a fee to the Nigerian government.
NIPOST was founded through the promulgation of Decree No. 18 of 1987 when it became a standalone extra-ministerial department. Its current powers are clearly defined in Nigeria's Postal Service Act.
Enyioma Madubuike, tech lawyer and Techpoint Africa columnist, reveals that this could be linked to the prevalence of the socialist principles of having government-run enterprises in the name of providing utility for its people.
"Government decides that some utilities are so important that it needs to provide them itself. What that means is that the government effectively establishes itself as a monopoly in that sector, and restricts competition in the process," he explains.
However, Maduibuike questions the usefulness of such laws in an age of fast-paced innovation and disruptive technologies.
"In this day and age, should we still have such laws being enforced by inefficient monopolies? Is there no limit within Nigeria's competition laws by which their regulations can be checked?" he asks.
NIPOST's struggles have been well documented over the years. With so much potential to impact the financial and logistics sector, its current inefficiencies and the advent of ICT still raise questions about its relevance.
Revenues have been dwindling, and the newly signed Finance Act gave the Federal Inland Revenue Service the right to collect newly amended stamp duties. Its new regulation seems geared towards generating more revenue, albeit at the expense of other innovative competitors.
"When a monopoly is set up in such a way that it deprives customers of value that could have been derived through competition, then competition and antitrust laws can be used to fight that monopoly," says Madubuike.
The ideal solution is probably demanding an update to the Nigerian Postal Act. However, the same could be said of several other laws in Nigeria that guide activities in different industries, despite rapid innovations taking place.
The impact is being hard-felt in Lagos
Our findings reveal that law enforcement agents still harass delivery bikers in Lagos. The agents obviously did not get the Minister's message on Twitter. Even if they did, it still wouldn't change much.
Recall that in an earlier post we said that law enforcement agents were asking delivery riders to produce documentation only courier companies should have.
Every courier rider is expected to get a vehicle inspection permit from the Vehicle Inspection Office. We learnt that this permit costs ₦9,300 ($24), but it can't be gotten without securing a courier licence from NIPOST.
This has forced some operators to pause operations in the state for the time being.
"Pending when the NIPOST issue is resolved, we have suspended operations in Lagos. Only external partners are still operating," says Abimbola Moses Adeitan, Co-founder of Pickmeup delivery service.
"Getting all the required licences for a bike can sometimes cost as much as ₦45,000 ($116). If your bike is seized for any default, it will cost much more. Right now, it is one thing to settle things at the federal level, and a different ball game in Lagos," he laments.
With the new fees suspended, most players in Lagos might still continue to contend with law enforcement agents, as they still cannot get the required documents even if they wanted to.
For on-demand platforms like WAeY Hailing, the effects may not be felt directly because of its partnership with already licensed logistics companies.
Though platforms like MAX and Gokada might not be affected directly, some of their driver-partners could be direct casualties of law enforcement activities. A challenge MAX's Bamuduro believes would soon be a thing of the past.
Indeed, it appears all Nigerian entrepreneurs can do is continue to innovate beyond the reach of stifling regulations.

Betting Action on Olympics in Vegas Still Small During Second Week
Even though bettors have the opportunity to wager on the Summer Olympics in Las Vegas this year for the first time since 1998, that does not mean they are flocking to the betting window to put money down on their home country and athletes. Instead, the Olympics have just been one more item to add to the wagering menu in Vegas, providing another alternative to simply betting on baseball during the month of August.
The NFL preseason also kicked off last week, marking the return of the biggest sport bettors enjoy wagering on despite the fact that they are only exhibition games right now. Jay Kornegay, the Vice President of Race & Sports at the Sportsbook Las Vegas SuperBook, noted that the Olympics just cannot compete with baseball and the NFL.
"That's like comparing a medicine ball to a marble," Kornegay said when asked to compare the amount bet on the different sporting events. "As expected, (action) has been very minimal, including the basketball. It's been grocery dollars on most events. The most interest is on events Americans are familiar with, basketball, soccer and golf."
Men's basketball begins quarterfinal play on Wednesday in Rio de Janeiro, with Team USA listed as a massive 23-point favorite against Argentina at the SuperBook. The Americans have struggled to cover so far though, going 1-4 against the spread despite being the only squad to finish the group stage at 5-0 straight-up.
Women's basketball will enter the semifinal round on Thursday, and like the men, Team USA is an enormous favorite to win the gold medal. In fact, the American women have been more dominant than their male counterparts, as they are going for their sixth consecutive Olympic title compared to three straight golds for the men.
The main issue with this year's Team USA men's basketball team is that it lacks the star power of previous teams. Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant are the only returnees from past squads, and the Americans have struggled in their last three games, defeating Serbia and France by just three points apiece in Group A play. While those results could hurt the betting handle Vegas sportsbooks get the rest of the way, there may end up being some value on the United States after underachieving so far.
"(Betting) might pick up for the semifinals and final in hoops," said Kornegay.

One nice thing to have is a gaggle of assist people who actually know what you are going by way of in regards to pancreatitis. Most people similar to family, pals, and colleagues have no clue what you endure daily as a result of pancreatitis, and some could be downright offensive due to ignorance. If in case you have not too long ago been recognized or have suffered for quite sometime, you could find comfort in figuring out you are not alone. Help teams are places to vent on a foul day, ask questions, and easily hang around with others who know what the ache and different symptoms are like and the issues you face each day.
Considered one of these tests asked over 13,000 users with a mean age of 23 about the substances they used. Particularly, it requested how typically they used tobacco, alcohol, or different drugs, and assessed every participant's degree of use. The users have been then divided into teams in keeping with their level of substance abuse. Initially I've selected Royal Sundaram Alliance Insurance coverage as their mediclaim insurance coverage premium was the cheapest. Nonetheless, after a hospitalisation on account of skidding the scooter, I've found their service is the most effective. They have carried out what they promised. They have settled the hospital invoice with none hassles within 9 months taking the policy. Now it grew to become a life lengthy affiliation.
Thank u very much for re-cosidering and reverting my well being declare, had assist me throughout my issue period which royal sundaram had introduced very much happiness, pleasure to my life which i'm very a lot greateful to the crew of medi declare which release my declare and i'm very much thankful and ever ceaselessly pray. Full ignorance of how the system works. If you call my workplace we can tell you what we cost but it won't be what you pay. Slowing down and/or rethinking care dependencies and security never seem to be an choice.
I agree with much of what Dr. Gregor is saying right here with reference to intestinal permeability and health. I don't agree with his complete evaluation of the cause (animal products) nor the most effective resolution (a grain primarily based vegan weight-reduction plan). And again, it is fascinating what is being omitted of this discussion. This paper makes the mechanistic case for dense, processed carbs being the root cause for endotoxemia. Now, we can get in and debate the merits of 1 concept vs the other, but to completely ignore this contradictory data implies what can only be construed to be dodgy motives on the a part of the filmmaker.

Q: Using geopy.distance.distance function, why are distances the same between two points at very different latitudes? Given what I know about how Latitude and Longitude works, metric distances between two points at constant Longitude, but different Latitude, should be different.  However, this is not what the Python library Geopy reflects.  For example:
from geopy.distance import distance

point_a = (0,0); point_b = (1,0)

point_c = (0,75); point_d = (1,75)

print("a - b ", distance(point_a, point_b).m)
print("c - d ", distance(point_c, point_d).m)

This returns:
>>> a - b 110574.38855779878
>>> c - d 110574.38855779878

I feel like these distances should not be the same, or am I missing something critical about how these distances are calculated?  Does the distance function not set the projection to WGS84/4326 by default, but instead use some local projected coordinate system?

A: Never mind, I was getting the coordinate order backwards:
from geopy.distance import distance

point_a = (0,0); point_b = (0,1)

point_c = (75,0); point_d = (75,1)

print("a - b ", distance(point_a, point_b).m)
print("c - d ", distance(point_c, point_d).m)

Now this returns what I would expect...
a - b  111319.49079327357
c - d  28901.663548048124

I feel like we all just need to agree that all coordinate order should be (x,y).  (Lat, Lon) is outdated and never used in analysis.

A: Yup, according to the docs, geopy defaults to geodesic distance, but has capabilities for WGS84 as well.

Geopy can calculate geodesic distance between two points using the geodesic distance or the great-circle distance, with a default of the geodesic distance available as the function

Q: Using a Property mapping with a Formula in NHIbernate I am trying to map a property to an arbitrary column of another table.  The docs say that the formula can be arbitrary SQL and the examples I see show similar.
However, the SQL NHibernate generates is not even valid. The entire SQL statement from the formula is being injected into the middle of the SELECT statement.
        Property(x => x.Content, map =>
            {
                map.Column("Content");
                map.Formula("select 'simple stuff' as 'Content'");
            });

A: This is the way Formula is designed, it is supposed to work that way.  You need to wrap your SQL statement in parens so that valid SQL can be generated.
Also, you cannot specify Column and Formula together. You must provide the whole SQL statement.  Any non prefixed/escaped columns ('id' in the example below) will be treated as columns of the table of the owning entity.
Property(x => x.Content, map =>
{
    map.Formula("(select 'simple stuff' as 'Content')");
});

// or what you probably want

Property(x => x.Content, map =>
{
    map.Formula("(select t.Content FROM AnotherTable t WHERE t.Some_id = id)");
});

Co-founder Balaji Srinivasan outlined various applications for 21's embeddable mining chip, mostly aimed at what it sees as future industrial uses of bitcoin rather than treating mining as a means simply to get rich.
He also announced that he is taking over from Matthew Pauker as chief executive and that 21's board will now include Ben Horowitz, the founding partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where Mr. Srinivasan is also a partner.

At first, the plain Kindle device may seem relatively no-frills: it is an eReader, first and foremost, with Wi-Fi capability meant only for browsing the Amazon store and buying titles, but it was never meant to be the internet surfing, music and media playing, mini-computer that the Fire model is.
All of this is true, but with that said, the Kindle has a few hidden treasures and tricks up its sleeve that not many users know about. The biggest is a beta web browser that the Kindle staff is hoping to develop...with help from fans and their input. The browser app, which can be accessed under the "Experimental" section on the device menu, is almost painfully slow (the Kindle's Wi-Fi reception is weak in the first place), but it's a fun little hidden feature to play around with. Furthermore, it can check email, run Google maps, or even stream music, so while most smartphones will have superior web technology, the browser on the Kindle might come in handy, under the right circumstances.
Elsewhere, the Kindle's typical "screensavers" (no more than a method for Amazon to advertise directly to their customers), can be manipulated and changed with a little bit of simple computer wizardry. Visit www.howtogeek.com/howto/37424/jailbreak-your-kindle-for-dead-simple-screensaver-customization/ for a comprehensive guide.

Jerichow (2008)
October 19, 2019 October 16, 2019 ~ Matt
Directed by Christian Petzold
Jerichow is a film about three people who are absolutely stuck. They are a middle-aged man, Ali (Hilmi Sözer), his younger wife Laura (Nina Hoss) and their new employee, Thomas (Benno Fürmann). This being a Christian Petzold film there is a baseline of isolation, meaning that a certain degree of loneliness looms large over each of them.
Ali is an alcoholic with jealousy issues who later learns he might be quite sick, Laura has severe debts from which she is only saved by her loveless marriage to Ali, and we first meet Thomas at his mother's funeral, soon after which he is knocked unconscious by the thugs to whom he owes what little money he has remaining.
Thomas meets Ali when the Ali drunkenly crashes his car into the shallows of a river. Thomas takes the blame when the police interrogate Ali, threatening to take away his license, and endears himself to the older man. Soon after when Ali does lose his license he asks Thomas to work for him and drive him around.
Once inside the operation it's just these three central characters, almost as if they are the only people left on earth. We spend time on the road, at Ali's house swallowed up with privacy in the woods, at a quiet beach and even at an airport which looks utterly abandoned save for our protagonists.
The isolation is palpable and purgatory-like, adding that much more weight to what the characters already feel. After Laura and Thomas develop an almost instantaneous love affair, they conspire to work Ali out of the picture. Having signed a pre-nuptial agreement, Laura tells Thomas that should she leave him she will have less than nothing, only the significant debts which Ali currently covers.
So they are stuck.
They come up with a plan to tie up all these loose ends like you'd find in a film noir, specifically Double Indemnity, but Jerichow is more concerned with the moments in between plot points, the desire, fear and tenuous human connection. This has the flavor of a film noir but remains a character study all the way through.
It's completely fascinating. These characters all receive some of our empathy, with none of them easy to write off as they might be in another version of this text. They all have weighty ideas on their mind, they're all struggling in their own way, and to simply be content seems a distant proposition for each of them.
The passion itself comes from this same desperation, all the more fiery because optimism on its own is such an uphill battle. It's as if to even stand a chance at survival they have to jump all in, throw their best punch right at the start.
That sense of isolation and perhaps even doom is so stark that it provides an unlikely urgency to everything that happens here. Even as the film takes its time and gives you the sense that nothing moves in this world, not even the breeze, there's a feeling that they are all slowly disappearing like Marty McFly and his siblings in the photo from Back to the Future. They have to fight with everything they have just to remain tangible.
And that has more to do with Petzold's work as a whole than just this film. There's an undercurrent of disconnect in his films. Characters exist in isolation and any meaningful relationship develops after the film begins, as if they have no friends, family or lovers before the story begins. To just reach someone is a miracle, and so once they do they hold on with everything they've got.
In the end, however, the world fights back and maintains a certain oppressing sense of order. Everything falls back into place, and if it were not for the characters' predisposition to such sorrow it might feel like it was all collapsing. As it is they return to the starting line, bound to keep searching for the same sense of connection and intimacy though with the same likelihood of success as Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the mountain.

New program aims to help schools improve the wellbeing of children and youth | iNFOnews | Thompson-Okanagan's News Source
New program aims to help schools improve the wellbeing of children and youth
PENTICTON - School District No. 67 Okanagan Skaha is pleased to announce that it is one of six school districts in British Columbia participating in WellAhead, a new philanthropic initiative of the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation that aims to improve child and youth mental health by integrating wellbeing into school communities.
Wendy Hyer, Superintendent of Schools states "The fact that SD67 was selected from 41 applicants across BC for this innovative project speaks highly to the quality of education that our schools are delivering. We have a community that shares a strong passion for supporting the wellbeing of our children and youth and this unique opportunity for further collaboration with our community will most certainly result in a positive impact on the wellbeing of our youth."
Over the month of October, students, parents, teachers, principals, administrators and others in the community will take part in "ideation" sessions: opportunities to brainstorm school-based approaches that positively affect how students feel. These can be small actions, new routines or everyday activities that can become part of a school's set of daily practices.
"The changes WellAhead is looking for are those that schools can easily implement without investing major resources," said Stephen Huddart, President and CEO of the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation. "The initiative will help improve understanding of how change happens in schools, and whether everyday practices can be an effective means of improving social and emotional wellbeing."
The general public can also contribute ideas through an online public engagement platform, which will go live in November. This process will supplement the ideation sessions and lead to the selection of new ideas. Starting in 2016, WellAhead will support districts in the work of "prototyping" — trying out and evaluating some of the proposed new ideas and practices to determine their impact and longer-term feasibility.
Each school district has appointed a community liaison, who serves as a contact person to bridge between the initiative and interested members of the public who want to be involved. Jenny Mitchell is the community liaison for School District No. 67 - Okanagan Skaha and can be reached at JMitchell@summer.com.
For more information about the national WellAhead initiative or to sign up for the newsletter, visit wellahead.ca or contact Elana Ludman: eludman@mcconnellfoundation.ca

From Abandoned Baby in Wheeling to Hollywood Hills
"Tally Ho Baby" was the name the local media gave to an unidentified, 10-day-old, baby girl found in a cardboard box inside the front door of the Tally Ho Apartment Building on National Road in Wheeling many years ago.
She became a ward of the state and was scheduled to be transported to the state orphanage when a young Wheeling couple—attorney George Bailey and his wife Lucretia—told the judge they wanted to adopt her. She became Barb Bailey, grew up in Wheeling with her loving family, and fell in love with the arts. She went on to a decades-long career in the music industry as a singer, writer, producer and booking agent.
Through story and song, her latest project, aptly titled "Tally Ho Baby," tells her heartwarming and hilarious journey from an abandoned baby in a box to a glamorous life in the Hollywood Hills.
"Tally Ho Baby" is the personal story of Wheeling-born entertainer, Barb Bailey – who was a baby found in a cardboard box inside the front door of the Tally Ho Apartment Building on National Road and went on to a decades-long career in the music industry. Her unforgettable story is told in heartfelt songs. Barb will perform "Tally Ho Baby" at 7 pm Saturday, April 30 at Towngate Theatre in Wheeling.
Bailey will perform "Tally Ho Baby" on Saturday, April 30 at 7 p.m. at Towngate Theatre in Wheeling. Meet and greet with cash bar, desserts and a champagne toast will follow the performance.
"Tally Ho Baby" is also a loving tribute to Barb's parents as well as her birth mother, who remains unknown, and who Barb thanks for giving her life, a chance to grow up and leaving her in a safe place where she would be found.
The show also includes many stories about growing up in Wheeling as well as her encounters with celebrities from Burt Reynolds, Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton to high-class call girls.
Tickets for the show are $20 and can be purchased at www.oionline.com or by calling 304-242-7700. Tickets can also be purchased at the door, if available. Box office opens one hour prior to curtain. However, advance registration is recommended. Many shows sell out.

Middle Park is a land of great diversity, from its landscape to its people. Middle Park was once dominated by large ranches, but larger properties are increasingly being subdivided into smaller acreages. Though the Middle Park Conservation District was originally founded by the ag producers of Grand and Summit Counties, we now see the need to cater more services to our our small-acreage clientele. Thus, Middle Park Conservation District desires to increase small acreage conservation and support.

3D TV Technology: Can you see the third dimension?
3D TV Guide - 3D TV Technology: It is not for everyone!
Can you see the third dimension?
Check before you invest! Some are 3D TV blind.
Why? Is there a solution?
It may be a surprise to many but the way present 3D Television technology renders an impression of depth is not something that works for everyone. Therefore, do not just buy a 3D HDTV; do not assume you can see the third dimension! The number of Americans that are literally 3D Television build amounts to a few millions.
Unfortunately, the TV manufacturing industry seems reluctant to target this market. Why? Is there a way out for these individuals to enjoy 3D in the home?
3D Television has definitely become a reality for the millions who have already invested in a 3D HDTV. It is estimated that by end 2011, sales of 3D HDTVs had already reached 21 million units. And this figure is expected to continue rising as the 3D feature is now being embedded into a larger number of TVs at both mid-range and premium categories.
But rest assured that not everyone will be willing to invest in the present 3D Television technology.
And this is not a matter of an expensive price tag. After all, prices of 3D HDTVs have already fallen drastically since their debut in 2010. Nor it is the result of those annoying 3D glasses necessary with the present 3D Television technology to render the virtual 3D image.
Rather, it has all to do with the way 3D HDTV technology works to create the 3D illusion. The 3D process leads to an undesirable disparity between eyeball accommodation or focusing, and convergence; this disparity in 3D is referred to as fundamental disparity.
Why not everyone can see 3D TV?
We have stated in our 3D Television Technology guide that the way this 3D imaging technology renders an impression of depth is not exactly the same as the way our human vision system works. This difference is such that it leads the brain to detect an abnormality.
The two most important cues for the human brain to determine relative image depth information are stereopsis, or image parallax as resulting from the convergence of the eyes due to the interpupillary distance, and eyeball accommodation, or focusing. Present 3D content technology as applicable to 3D Television and the movie industry addresses the issue of stereopsis only.
Eyeball accommodation does not feature anywhere into the 3D filmmaking process and 3D TV technology with the result that the eyes of the viewer remain focused at a fixed distance on the screen surface.
This disparity is a totally abnormal situation for the brain. For the majority of viewers, this is not much of a major problem as for most people, convergence is sufficient for the brain to generate relative depth information about an object in space.
Yet for some 4% of the American population, the conflicting depth information resulting from the disparity between convergence and focusing cues as presented in 3D TV imaging is such that their brain would not work out the object depth. Some researchers suggest that this figure can be as high as 10%.
These person still have a good perception of depth in real life, but their depth perception relies on more than just a matter of convergence. For these persons, the parallax between the left and right eye images alone as used in 3D viewing does not convey sufficient depth cues; eyeball accommodation (or focusing) needs to be catered for as well. These persons are literally 3D TV blind.
Is there a solution in the pipeline?
The irony is that TV manufacturers and the movie theater entertainment industry are not doing anything at all to help 3D TV blind persons experience the sensation of 3D viewing. And considering, even if we were to assume that only 4% of the population is 3D TV blind, these persons would still amount to a market of several millions.
So why the industry does not care?
Some may find this strange but if you were to think about it, it does not take much investment for TV makers to come up with a 3D-enabled HDTV. In simple terms, all it takes to display 3D content is to modify their 120Hz and 240Hz 2D HDTVs to display two simultaneous streams of 1080p 60Hz content in a field sequential fashion. All that remains to render the impression of a three-dimensional image is to view the resultant sequential images with a pair of 3D glasses; the latter will enable the mind to fuse the two sequential 2-dimensional streams into one virtual 3D stream.
We said 'that all it takes is to modify their 2D TVs to display 3D content'. Keep in mind that any 3D-enabled TV is still an equally good 2D TV. In other words, bring 3D-enabled does not make an HDTV better at displaying 2D content.
Therefore from a TV maker's perspective, one may very well argue that enabling a TV to display 3D images does not cost more than adding an extra feature to a good 2D TV! The only real extra cost for the TV makers industry are the extra LCD shutter glasses which in most cases are being burdened on the consumer; and in the case of passive 3D-glasses 3D TV technology, the extra cost is practically negligible!
This relatively low investment in 3D HDTVs is more than understandable. Despite the much noise by the industry during CES 2010 about 3D TVs, and the preference to 3D movies in the theater by moviegoers, the TV industry knows very well that consumers are not ready to spend much money on 3D TVs. Rather, the majority of customers would not even buy a 3D-enabled HDTV for the sake of 3D; even worse for the TV entertainment industry is that a good portion of TV viewers are not even willing to pay extra to watch 3D content!
This is not just a matter of the present bad economy. As we say in our article 'Challenges of 3D Television in the Home', 3D television technology is still a long way from being considered the mainstream TV technology in home entertainment. The present 3D TV technology lacks the convenience, ease of use, and affordability many expect from a product supposedly addressed to the mass market.
Furthermore, most have replaced their CRT TV with a flat screen TV prior to the DTV transition deadline, while many others had invested in a second LCD or plasma HDTV just prior to the debut of 3D TV in 2010. The likelihood that these would now invest in a 3D HDTV to get what is being touted by many in the industry as the latest and greatest in TV technology, is simply close to nothing.
3D has come to the home... but not for everyone! It is all an issue of fundamental disparity.
Why some are 3D television blind? What makes 3D television technology so different from the way we see a 3D object?
Is there a solution in the pipeline? Why is the industry so reluctant to reach the millions who are 3D TV blind?

What does EdD stand for?
An EdD stands for education doctorate. This degree focuses on leadership-type roles in all levels of education. Earning an EdD does carry the requirement of a dissertation.
What is better – a PhD or EdD?
Debating EdD vs. PhD and which is better depends on the area of study you choose to enter. If you intend on conducting research and teaching theoretical subjects, a PhD may be better for you. If you are looking to enter an administrative or leadership role in education, an EdD may be right for you. As well, each has different course lengths and requirements, so knowing which one is better is contingent upon your schedule and subject focus.
How much can you make with a doctorate in education?
How much you can make with a doctorate in education depends on the type of profession. For a college professor, an EdD salary entirely depends on the professor's past teaching experience as well as their area of expertise. University provosts and presidents can earn a six-figure EdD salary, but that also depends on the type of public or private institution.
What can you do with an EdD?
A doctorate in education (EdD) is the pinnacle of education degrees. With this, there are many career paths you can choose to follow. Teaching-level jobs such as a college professor or administrative positions such as a school district superintendent or university provost are all qualified positions you can attain with an EdD.
How long does it take to get a doctorate in special education?
The length of time for earning a doctorate in special education varies from program to program. GCU's online Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Special Education is a minimum of 20 courses, each of which are usually eight weeks in length. Students must also complete an approved dissertation, which can take additional time.
Can you be a professor with an EdD?
Yes, you can be a professor with an EdD. While many colleges may not require an education doctorate to become a professor, an EdD is considered the pinnacle of teaching degrees and can allow you to reach higher levels of professorship.
Does an EdD require a dissertation?
Yes, an EdD requires a dissertation. Each of GCU's doctorate in education programs includes three dissertation courses that are eight weeks in length. The length of an EdD dissertation is entirely dependent on your chosen topic and how much research you have conducted over the course of the program.
An EdS stands for education specialist. This degree is a post-master's degree that specializes in specific education focuses. An EdS does not require a dissertation.
What is the difference between EdS and EdD?
An EdS is a post-master's level degree that specializes in specific areas of teaching and education. It is considered an advanced degree above a master's, but is not considered a doctorate as it does not require a dissertation. An EdD is an education doctorate that is designed for professionals looking to step into educational leadership roles.
Is an Ed specialist (EdS) degree a doctorate?
While technically not a doctorate degree, an education specialist (EdS) degree offers components that align with doctoral degree standards, but does not require a dissertation or residency.
What does EdS mean in education?
An EdS is an education specialist degree that is designed to give the learner an advanced level of knowledge in education. EdS degrees usually combine studies of theory, research and instruction for a specialized focus. GCU's EdS degrees are post-master's level programs that do not require a dissertation, but still provide a curriculum that aligns with typical teaching standards.
How long does it take to get an EdS degree?
The time needed for earning an EdS degree varies for all programs. GCU's EdS degree includes 10 courses that are each eight weeks in length. The program can be completed in less than two years if done without interruption.
Can you get a doctorate without a dissertation?
Some doctorate degrees may require a capstone/project in place of a traditional dissertation. All of GCU's EdD degrees require a dissertation for full program completion.
GCU's online Doctor of Education programs offer you the flexibility to study any time. With many of GCU's online doctorate programs, you will still attend in-person residencies to build relationships and enhance learning.
Prepare to face the challenges in today's workplace with online doctoral programs from the College of Doctoral Studies. Join a community of faculty and scholars, and grow your passion for your field of study.
