As the legality of cryptocurrency in India remains murky the Reserve Bank of India is working toward a &ldquo;phased implementation strategy&rdquo; of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Which essentially means the RBI&nbsp;is looking for a pilot project to roll out a Digital Rupee.
Deputy Governor T. Rabi Sankar said&nbsp;introduction of a digital rupee will protect people from the volatility of private virtual currencies.&nbsp; &ldquo;Central banks have increased their attention on digital currencies,&rdquo; in recent years, Sankar said, adding that the introduction of such currencies -- which will be backed by the sovereign -- will help in bringing down the usage of cash in the economy, while minimizing the damage to the public from the usage of private currencies. The RBI has&nbsp;expressed&nbsp;concern about cryptocurrencies on a number of occasions, citing issues such as money laundering and terrorism financing. China has led the way in introducing a digital currency as it rolls out the Digital Yuan amongst citizens in the mainland.&nbsp; Read/Watch Also: <a href="https://www.edtr.ai/9xdx">Bitcoin's&nbsp;volatile ride</a>

Sorry The Internet is Down! that was the message gripping worldwide web users as a global outage due to&nbsp;a technical issue at Akamai&nbsp;which provides domain name system services. At the peak of the disruption, at least 33,000 websites worldwide were offline due to Akamai experiencing DNS failures. The Domain Name System is like a phone book for websites. The technology figures out the right IP addresses to use when people try to go to individual websites.&nbsp;Akamai&nbsp;and Oracle took to social media to inform clients and users of the 'glitch' which took a few hours to rectify and bought down key global websites. Akamai&nbsp;services marquee names across the globe from Amazon, McDonalds, Delta, HBO, HSBC, Barclays, Airbnb&nbsp;et al.&nbsp; Closer to home several popular Indian apps and websites including food delivery app&nbsp;Zomato&nbsp;and payments app Paytm among others were impacted as part of a global Internet outage This is the third major internet outage in two months, and the second involving Akamai.&nbsp;

In a big blow to Amazon and a big boost to the Future-Reliance deal, the Anti-Trust body CCI&nbsp;has accused Amazon of concealing facts when it sought approval for deal with Biyani led Future retail in 2019.
 What is CCI&nbsp;accusing Amazon of?
Reuters reports that in a letter dated June 4, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said Amazon hid factual aspects of the transaction by not revealing its strategic interest in Future Retail when it sought approval for the 2019 deal. What is the next step for Amazon?
E-commerce giant Amazon acknowledged the&nbsp;received a letter, was committed to complying with India's laws and told Reuters it would extend its full cooperation to the CCI. The Anti-trust body has asked&nbsp; Amazon why it should not take action and penalise the company for providing false information. 
What does it mean for the Future-Reliance deal?
Legal experts say this could be a game changer for the Future-Reliance deal which has been blocked due to Amazon's appeals against it.&nbsp;The CCI&nbsp;could direct&nbsp;Amazon&nbsp;to re-file the approval application for it's deal with Future Retail in 2019&nbsp;and has powers to even revoke the approval under exceptional circumstances.

$15.4 billion, that is&nbsp;the numeric answer for anyone questioning why the Tokyo Olympics have not been canceled despite the rising covid cases and pushback from locals in Japan.&nbsp;
The Tokyo Olympics are touted to be the most expensive summer Olympics till date. The bill however is actually much higher; as the &nbsp;$15.4 billion does not account for sponsorship losses that may have to be incurred if the already spectator-less games are altogether canceled.&nbsp; Companies have spent more than $1 billion on ads timed to the Tokyo Games, which will take place in empty arenas as the pandemic lingers. But these sponsors are also feeling the backlash and are retreating taking in some losses.&nbsp;Panasonic, a top sponsor, will not send its chief executive to the opening ceremony, . Neither will Toyota, one of Japan&rsquo;s most influential companies, which also delivered a&nbsp;blow&nbsp;to the Games on Monday when it said it had abandoned its plans to run Olympics-themed television commercials in Japan. Also&nbsp;According to news reports, the Olympic Committee&nbsp;may have to refund TV rights fees of around $4 billion if the event is not held at all. Already postponing the event has cost a whopping $3 billion, this is when the merchandise et al has not been rebranded and is being used with the signage of 2020 itself.&nbsp; There is also a large insurance cost at play, according to Reuters, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) takes out about $800 million worth of insurance to cover most of the $1 billion it invests in every host city. On top of that insurance, local Tokyo organizers took out a $650 million policy and another $600 million for hospitality.&nbsp; But it is not just the International Olympic Committee that has finances to worry about.&nbsp;The Games are also important to individual participating nations and their National Olympic Committees. According to&nbsp;The NYT, $549 million is distributed among these organisations, and for most this is a matter of survival. Without the Games being held, there may not be a payday. The money assumes added significance during the pandemic when the sporting schedules around the world have taken a big hit, and most of the events that have taken place have seen no or reduced spectators. So with a total cost of over $20 billion, the balancing act for the Olympic Committee has been a tough one.&nbsp;
