  4. Amazon Leo hits its mark for satellite internet service
    Amazon says the overnight launch of 29 satellites should clear the way for its Amazon Leo network to start offering commercial high-speed internet service from space this year, in direct competition with SpaceX’s Starlink network.

  5. 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.

  6. Blue Origin aces rocket reuse, but satellite goes awry
    Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture used a previously flown New Glenn rocket booster to send a satellite into space today, marking a first for the company.

    After it aced its second launch, the first-stage booster — nicknamed “Never Tell Me the Odds” — made yet anoth

  8. Verizon's got a new internet plan, Home Internet Lite, for just $25/month. The catch? Slower download speeds. It's pitched for those with 'unreliable internet access,' but is trading speed for cost a deal or a trap? How much bandwidth are you willing to sacrifice for a lower bill?

  11. Grrrrr... #Starlink tries to block #Virginia’s plan to bring #FiberInternet to residents

    #SpaceX wants more money, asks Trump admin to reject state's #broadband grant plan.

    Jon Brodkin – Aug 14, 2025

    "Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.

    "Starlink is poised to benefit from the Trump administration rewriting rules for the $42 billion #Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (#BEAD) grant program. While the Biden administration decided that states should prioritize #fiber in order to build more #FutureProof networks, the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a 'tech-neutral approach' and lower the average cost of serving each location."

  13. Weekly output: broadband satisfaction, Google I/O announcements (x2), Mark Vena podcast, Android XR, Google Beam

    I got back from one part of the West Coast Thursday night and I’m heading to another part Tuesday morning. But while my travel plans have included Google I/O since 2010, Web Summit moving its Collision conference to Vancouver and rebranding it as Web Summit Vancouver has put that city in my schedule for the first time since an epic ski trip to Whistler in 2004.

    5/20/2025: In the ISP Race, Fiber Is Still Tough to Beat, But Don’t Discount These Upstarts, PCMag

    My first post of the week, written Monday off an embargoed copy of the American Customer Satisfaction Index‘s latest survey results and filed from my flight to SFO that evening, unpacked more bad news for cable broadband.

    5/21/2025: Google’s ‘AI Mode’ Is Coming for Us All, PCMag

    I wrote part of this, based on Google’s embargoed announcements, on Monday’s flight, part from my Airbnb after jet lag had me awake before 6 a.m., and part from my seat at Shoreline Amphitheatre before the start of Google’s keynote.

    5/21/2025: Google’s New Flow Moviemaking Tool Can Turn You Into AI Scorsese for $250/Month, PCMag

    I finished writing this after the keynote had begun, so the copy I filed had quotes from Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote remarks.

    I made a rare outdoors appearance on my industry-analyst friend’s podcast, logging on from a picnic table in between I/O exhibits in Shoreline’s parking lot.

  16. Monday.

    Ending 22 and a half years of being milked dry by Virgin Media, taking up an actual FTTP service from Zen via CityFibre.

    Yes, I know, we can haggle. The thing is now that I haven't got the oomph to do so and I really dislike the performative "oh well if it's that much I'll leave" game every time a contract expires. Just provide the same service at the same price to everyone, you mercenary swine!

  17. Looking at downloading MacOS 15 (Sequoia) - quite an upgrade from my MacOS 12 (Monterey).

    The FCC is now forcing ISP's to break own their prices, in a fashion similar to food nutrition labels, no more hidden fees, no more service charges you didn't know about. They must include service fees, device insurance fees, installation fees, info on temporary or discount pricing that will increase later, speeds, data-caps and more

    The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), part of the 2021 infrastructure bill, currently provides 23 million low-income Americans a $30 broadband discount.

    That's about to end Thanks to Republicans forcing its defunding.

  20. Have you checked your #broadband speed? It’s a fun game #talktalkbusiness has imposed on me as my connection keeps dropping. They say they guarantee a minimum download speed of 56.84Mb. I think I get an average speed of 30. Do check your speed and ask them what their #fibreOptic does actually. supportal-test.co.uk/

  21. Faroese Telecom and Ericsson set European 5G mmWave downlink speed record ericsson.com/en/press-releases

    Jan Ziskasen, CEO, says: “Our ambition is to have giga speed everywhere on the islands – in cities as well as in small villages, on roads, in tunnels, on mountaintops and even out to sea. Digital inclusion is a main pillar in our sustainability agenda thus reaching every centimeter and every person located on our 18 islands is paramount. …”

  22. "Mayor Adam’s New Big Apple Connect Program is Akin to Lighting Tax Money on Fire"

    Subsidies for big corps providing slower internet, while dismantling unsubsidized free co-op driven broadband equipment THAT WAS ALREADY INSTALLED in public housing.

    This just doesn't make sense at all.

  23. As we head into January, time is running out to ensure all unserved locations are counted on the FCC’s new #broadband map. This is important because map created using data submitted by the January 13th cutoff will be used by the NTIA to decide where BILLIONS in #broadbandgrant funding will be directed.
    My story on how to navigate the map and file challenges is here.

  24. In the process of switching service away from #BTBroadband. Pleased to see an equipment return programme where I can send my old router for refurbishment/recycling. But...

    Why can we not have open hardware compatible with all #broadband suppliers, negating the need for companies sending out new routers each time? Why can't there be something akin to SIM cards on mobile phones that can then allow any unlocked device to be used?

    Reduce, THEN reuse, THEN recycle.
