Wal-Mart Stores, which has been increasingly wading into contentious social issues this year, is seeking ways to make a “positive difference,” Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said, according to Bloomberg.
This week’s Confederate flag move underscored Wal-Mart’s increasingly aggressive stance on controversial issues. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said it would eliminate merchandise with the symbol from its stores and website. Wal-Mart has sold a range of Confederate-themed products, counting decals, knives and T-shirts. McMillon blamed third-party sellers on the company’s e-commerce site for offering the merchandise. Bloomberg Reports.

Finally, Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU), gained 0.68%, and is now trading at $3.88.
Alcatel-Lucent, has launched a new device for residential and business use that will allow operators to accelerate the deployment of ultra-broadband access in order to meet ever-growing demand for faster data speeds in homes and the workplace.
The Alcatel-Lucent G.fast residential gateway is a simple, plug-and-play device that will eliminate the need for operators’ engineers to have to enter a customer’s premises to install, thanks to its use of the G.fast standard and application of existing telephone lines to extend fiber-like data speeds into the home.
With the number of connected devices predictable to reach 50-100 billion by 20201, the demand for more bandwidth and faster broadband speeds has never been greater. Fiber-to-the-home and G.fast technologies allow operators to bring gigabit broadband speeds to premises. However, maintaining those speeds inside a building can be more difficult with legacy home networks, poor WiFi speeds and reliability issues limiting how fast and how much data consumers can access at any given time. This problem becomes compounded as more devices are added onto the home network.
Alcatel-Lucent’s new G.fast home networking device solves this problem. Consumers simply need to plug it in to right away start enjoying more than 750megabits-per-second of broadband speed over G.fast infrastructure into their home - almost 30 times the global average which hovers around 27Mbps.
Alcatel-Lucent provides Internet protocol (IP) and cloud networking, and ultra- broadband access worldwide. The company’s Core Networking segment offers IP routing, carrier Ethernet, network functions virtualization, and software defined networking applications and infrastructure to meet the challenges of network traffic growth while supporting the delivery of cloud-enabled business, mobile, and residential services for service providers, mobile network operators, cable/multiple system operators, transportation, utilities, and large-scale enterprises.
