Weekly output: inflight WiFi, Visible’s prepaid Verizon home 5G, Uber’s travel ambitions, AT&T emergency response

Happy World Press Freedom Day to all who celebrate! Which should be all who don’t want to accept the lies of people in power.

I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers Wednesday explaining three fair ways that you can take one story idea and sell it more than once.

4/28/2026: Looking for Fast Wi-Fi on Your Next Flight? Pick an Airline With Starlink, PCMag

This was going to be a straightforward writeup of Ookla’s report about Speedtest measurements of inflight connectivity, but some details seemed just off enough to require follow-up questions.

4/29/2026: Verizon’s Visible Prepaid Brand Adds $300-Per-Year 5G Home Broadband, PCMag

This was going to be a a straightforward writeup of Verizon’s prepaid brand reselling Verizon’s fixed-wireless home broadband at a discount, but then I couldn’t get Visible’s site to show me the FCC-mandated broadband-facts label or even let me start a service order.

5/1/2026: Uber wants to be your travel agent, concierge, and personal shopper next, PCMag

I took a day trip to New York Wednesday to cover Uber’s Go-Get press event. This Amtrak run was not like any of the others I’ve taken earlier between D.C. and NYC because it featured infrastructure that hadn’t been first built by the Pennsylvania Railroad 90-plus years ago: the new Portal Bridge in the Meadowlands, which is replacing a janky old drawbridge that sometimes gets stuck open.

5/1/2026: For AT&T, Disaster Recovery Includes Flying COWs and a Robot Dog, PCMag

I spent a couple of hours in one of the parking lots next to the former site of RFK Stadium–it’s still weird to see nothing where that concrete donut had stood since 1961–to check out the exhibit of emergency-response hardware that AT&T had set up there.

Weekly output: AT&T OneConnect, federal privacy fears, Artemis II, better inflight WiFi, 6G

This week started with me in Chicago for the Online News Association’s conference, then had a quick trip to Boston to see family for Easter, and tomorrow will have me off to San Francisco for the HumanX conference to lead two panels there. 

I wrote an extra post Tuesday for Patreon readers recapping some scenes from SXSW, including a not-yet-campaign appearance by California governor Gavin Newsom and a stemwinder of a speech by Patreon founder Jack Conte on how human creativity can endure through the rise of AI.

3/31/2026: AT&T OneConnect Bundles Fiber, Wireless, Doesn’t Say What Mobile Service You Get, PCMag

I had just enough spare time at ONA to field this story–even factoring in time to try, without success, to get AT&T to explain just what wireless plan subscribers would get with this new offering.

4/1/2026: The One Thing Americans Can Agree On: The Feds Collect Too Much Personal Data, PCMag

I wrote up this study by the Center for Democracy & Technology a day after it was published Tuesday in part because I had nearly no free time on day two of ONA.

4/1/2026: NASA Launches Artemis II, Its First Moonshot Since 1972, PCMag

I watched the launch Wednesday evening of Artemis II with fingers crossed through main engine cutoff, then followed the first few hours of the mission while writing up this post. I updated the story a day later after the translunar injection burn of the Orion spacecraft’s service module engine committed astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen on a flight around the Moon and then back to Earth. I can’t wait to see this American and Canadian crew’s Earthrise photos.

4/2/2026: Fast, Free Wi-Fi Now Arriving at These Airlines, AARP

I showed up at my occasional client’s site not as a writer but as a subject-matter expert, courtesy of AARP writer Berit Thorkelson quizzing me over e-mail for this piece about how low-Earth-orbit satellite constellations like SpaceX’s Starlink are upgrading inflight WiFi.

4/3/2026: Unfortunately, It’s Time to Talk About 6G. Here’s What You Need to Know, PCMag

I got most of my reporting for this done at MWC Barcelona, but then needed a little more time to collect some industry insight about the wireless industry’s curious rush to hype 6G when so many of its customers are still trying to discern how 5G is supposed to make a noticeable difference in their everyday phone experience.

Are there any best practices out there to connect #MITRE #ATT&CK and #D3FEND while doing a #Threatmodel in a #TOGAF #ADM security architecture?

How do I go from »There is an attack vector!« to »The developers closed their tickets which implement all relevant counter measures«?

Does #SABSA or #PASTA offer any insight here?

AT&T ad congratulating itself for its #ethics violated an ad-industry rule

The #NAD said that AT&T’s action threatens the “integrity and success of the self-regulatory forum,” and “undermines NAD’s mission to promote truth and accuracy of #advertising claims and foster consumer trust in the marketplace.”

No idea what the ad was for (AT&T / NCR?), but ... enjoy!

Phone companies failed to warn #senators about surveillance, Wyden says -

Government #surveillance of lawmakers, though legal, raises concerns that members of #Congress cannot effectively legislate when they are being #spied on

Sen. Wyden (D-Ore.) revealed in a new letter to Senate colleagues that #ATT , #Verizon & #TMobile failed to create systems for notifying senators about gov surveillance on Senate-issued devices — despite a requirement to do so.

Attorney Testifies That Operator Coverage Maps are not Truthful!

County supervisors initially deniend a tower permit because AT&T coverage maps showed full coverage all around the proposed site.

They reconsidered after attorney for tower company testified that "AT&T website maps were simply “inaccurate marketing” maps and did not paint a truthful picture." I haven found Verizon and T-Mobile maps are accurate either https://lookout.co/confused-by-coverage-maps-supervisors-agree-to-consider-tree-disguised-bonny-doon-cellphone-tower-and-dodge-lawsuit/story #mobile #santaCruzCA #ATT

I have only two days this upcoming workweek that aren’t blocked off completely, Monday and Thursday. Tuesday I’ll be working the Virginia primary election (hard to believe it’s been almost four years since my first long day as a poll worker), Wednesday I’m covering the  ACA Connects telecom-industry conference, and Friday I fly to Austin for SXSW.

In addition to the stories below, I wrote a bonus post for Patreon readers recapping some of the more interesting things I saw at MWC.

2/26/2024: Google Brings Gemini to Messages App in AI-Flavored Android Feature Drop, PCMag

The first story I filed from Barcelona is one that I could have written from home–Google PR gave me an embargoed copy of the announcement of these new features. But I did appreciate being able to try them out in person at Google’s MWC exhibit during a press breakfast Monday morning.

2/25/2024: 2 Wheels, 3 Cameras, One 5G Radio: Orbic Debuts Connected E-Bike at MWC, PCMag

Writing about a 5G-connected e-bike was not in any of my MWC plans, but the nice thing about large tech events like this is that they can serve up surprises that justify making your way to an exhibitor’s corner of the show floor.

2/28/2024: Cyber diplomacy for the next era of connectivity, Compiler Pop-Up Series: The Barcelona Edition

I moderated this panel discussion between a trio of diplomats–Steve Lang, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for international and communications policy, Vassiliki Gogou, a cybersecurity expert with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, and Maite Arcos, director general of the ESYS Foundation–at an event hosted by Compiler. That’s a new non-profit tech-policy publication supported by the Hewlett Foundation and founded by Mike Farrell, a longtime information-security journalist.

2/28/2024: NTT Docomo ‘Feel Tech Animal’ Exhibit Had Me Walking a Virtual Dog, PCMag

This virtual-reality demo was another thing not in my MWC plans until another attendee suggested I check it out.

2/29/2024: Bluesky Adds Hashtag Support, Better Account Portability Than Mastodon, PCMag

I saw the news about this on my way to the airport in Barcelona early Thursday morning, pitched a post about it in PCMag’s Slack workspace, and got a go-ahead from my editor before I’d cleared security in BCN. Then I wrote the post during my layover in Zurich.

2/29/2024: At MWC, AT&T and AST execs talk up space-based possibilities, Light Reading

The interviews for this piece happened Monday, but I didn’t finish writing it until Tuesday and then my overworked editor, also at MWC, needed a little more time to get this published. And then we had to correct it because I didn’t look close enough at the transcription of the interview provided by Google’s Live Transcribe app to notice that I’d jotted down a different number for the capacity of AST’s NextGen satellites in the notes I took on my laptop.

3/1/2024: Facebook Finds New Way to Unfriend Publishers by Nixing News Tab, PCMag

Writing this post became a little more fun when I realized that Facebook had not only gotten rid of the option to put the News tab among the basic shortcuts in its iPhone and iPad app, it had also left up old documentation that directs users to a nonexistent part of the settings interfaces on those apps.

3/1/2024: Ep 96 SmartTechCheck Podcast MWC, Qualcomm FastConnect 7900, Apple kills car project, SCOTUS, Mark Vena

I shared my impressions of MWC at my industry-analyst friend’s podcast in which we also discussed such recent tech plot twists as Apple closing down its car project and the Supreme Court taking up what strike me as flagrantly unconstitutional Florida and Texas laws that would compel social platforms to publish speech that they might find repulsive.
