  18. AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Satellite failed to achieve optimal orbit in launch on April 19, and it will be "deorbited".

    The full-size mobile-broadband satellite was carried to space by Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, and it successfully separated from the launch rocket and powered on but was placed into a lower orbit than planned.

  31. Remember a few years ago, how Tony the Terrible promised us that reusing old copper wires in the National Broadband Network would make it cheaper?

    How Tony made his rival, Malcolm Turnbull, the Communications Minister, and then forced Malcolm to go along with it, even though he almost certainly knew it was BS?

    And how the stenographers in the Canberra Press Gallery all went along with it uncritically, and claimed a Fibre-to-the-premises NBN by Julia Gillard was an example of wasteful spending?

    Well, the NBN is now ripping up many of those old copper wires and replacing them with fibre.

    And the NBN is paying a small fortune to ISPs for service problems on those old copper lines:

    "NBN Co’s bill for rebates to its retailers related to fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) service problems jumped sharply in the last quarter of 2025, just as its copper replacement program started to enter high gear.

    "Rebates that the national network builder had been paying to its RSP customers related to FTTP services had been steady since the beginning of the year, peaking at about 23,247 by the end of September quarter, according to data it lodges with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

    "However, in the final December quarter of the year NBN Co reported paying 32,411 rebates related to FTTP service problems - a jump of nearly 40 percent on the previous quarter.

    "An NBN Co spokesperson told iTnews that in the first half of the 2026 financial year it converted 287,000 premises from copper connections to fibre. taking its upgrade total to more than a million.

    "However, the company conceded that some connection technology shifts in the field were proving to be less straightforward than others.
    ...
    "NBN Co wants to minimise further investment in copper that would drag investment away from new fibre deployments which, it argues, are inherently more reliable and cheaper to maintain."

  33. "Today's AI is tomorrow’s dial-up!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    There’s a phrase I like to use: “Today will involve the slowest rate of change for the rest of your life!”

    That concept seems quaint in the era of fast-moving AI. In fact, we should rephrase it: “By the time you finish reading this sentence, the state-of-the-art has already moved on.”

    Think back to 2024. We were impressed by a chatbot that could summarize a PDF. For those of us of a technical bent, we thought a 128k ‘context window’ was a “breakthrough.” In retrospect, that was the screeching, static-filled noise of the 56k modem era. We were in the AOL-era of AI!

    Today? Welcome to the broadband era of intelligence.

    In just the last 24 months, the landscape hasn’t just shifted. It’s undergone a seismic shift. The ground we knew below our feet has been pulverized and rebuilt. Think about just a few of the AI trends as we go into this new era:

    The Memory Explosion: We’ve graduated from "summarizing a document" to "uploading the entire library." Leading models like Gemini now process millions of tokens at once, compared to the 128k context windows we were celebrating as breakthroughs just 18 months ago. We aren't just prompting; we’re giving AI an entire War & Peace document set to churn through.

    The Price Collapse: Intelligence is now a commodity utility. The cost to run GPT-4-class reasoning has plummeted by 98%. What cost $60 is now essentially "too cheap to meter" at less than $0.75.

    From "Chatting" to "Doing": 2024 was about talking to a screen. 2026 is about Agentic AI. We're moving past chatbots to autonomous agents that negotiate, navigate CRMs, and execute project workflows without being babysat.

    The last few weeks have had me working with Claude Cowork and Claude Copilot, and my entire concept of AI has changed. I don’t just ask it questions — I now instruct it to go off and do the work on my behalf. That’s a subtle but important change, and once you wrap your head around what that change brings, your head explodes.

    And I haven't even yet jumped into the world of Claw! It's on the list!

    It is evident that not only is the power and capability of AI accelerating, but we are rapidly building a new operating system around it. If you are still "playing around" with prompts, you’re still waiting for the handshake signal on a dial-up connection. You're stuck with a modem connection when the rest of the world has installed fiber.

    The bandwidth of possibility has expanded. The question isn't whether the tech is ready. The question is: Are you ready for the speed of the "Broadband" era, or are you still waiting for the page to load?

    ----

    Futurist Jim Carroll started his online experience with a 300-baud modem in 1982. Think about that.
