Weekly output: Verizon revamps plans, edge and on-device AI in connected homes
I keep saying that the only thing I really want for Father’s Day is a nap. This one has somehow not featured that, but I still can’t complain about how today has gone for me.
6/16/2026: Verizon Wireless Drops 2 Fees, Adds Rewards Programs and ‘Simplicity’ Plan, PCMag
I spent more time quizzing a Verizon publicist about this bundle of announcements than I’d expected because the advance copy of the company’s press release left out so many details–and then I still had to revise the post Tuesday morning with additional information about its new Verizon One bundle of home and mobile broadband.
6/18/2026: AI at the Edge: Smarter Decisions, Less Latency, Unify 2026
The Connectivity Standards Alliance, the trade group behind the Matter standard for connected-home devices, hosted a conference in Austin and saw fit to include me in the proceedings (and to pay me a stipend for my work as a panel moderator). My spot on the program was this panel featuring Felipe Benavides, head of partnerships at Liquid AI; Alan Coleman, chief product officer of Plume; Colin Cureton, product line vice president for home business at Silicon Labs; and Rolf de Vegt, vice president of technical standards at Qualcomm. We spent 45 minutes unpacking what on-device AI models can do for gadgets ranging from light bulbs to dishwashers to thermostats–in particular, about the privacy upsides of sending less data to cloud services.

Off-season, non-SXSW Austin is its own sort of weird
AUSTIN, Tex.
It feels like I barely visited my favorite part of Texas, and that’s not just because my trip here for the Connectivity Standards Alliance’s Unify conference only spanned three days. This visit has also reminded me that SXSW, my usual experience of Austin aside from one trip here in September of 2018 for the Online News Association’s conference, is not a reliable reflection of the city.
The sidewalks this week aren’t crowded with hipsters and would-be hipsters (i.e., me) wearing the same conference badge, in the process making the number of unhoused people here a little more obvious. Bars and restaurants downtown go by their normal names instead of being rebranded as “activations” for one #brand or another. And instead of delightful spring weather, it’s ghastly hot out–not Vegas-in-August scorching, but also much more humid.
Avoiding that heat by spending so much of my time in Unify’s air-conditioned confines at the Hilton Downtown made this even more of a fake visit for me. I did at least think to stop by a dive bar off Red River Street Wednesday night to get in some local color and put some money into the non-hotel economy.
One other change I noticed compared to March: Austin’s streets seem to have picked up a lot more robotic occupants. Waymos are as ubiquitous as ever, but I also spotted several of Austin-based Avride’s refitted Hyundai Ioniq 5s, at least two Zoox toasters on wheels and one of Tesla’s two-seat, gold-colored Cybercabs–plus delivery robots rolling up and down sidewalks.
(I didn’t get a good enough look at most of the non-Waymo vehicles to see if they had humans at the controls or otherwise overseeing them. Nor did I get rides on any of them, since it was such a short walk from my hotel to the conference venue.)
But one part of Austin did take me right back to my usual marketing-spring-break nonsense: being greeted outside by the airport by the squawk of grackles.

#Matter soll der neue, branchenübergreifende Standard werden, wenn es ums #SmartHome geht. Darauf hatte sich ja die Projektgruppe „#ConnectivityStandardsAlliance (CSA)“ geeinigt. Auch #Apple ist Teil der #CSA und soll nun voll und ganz auf den neuen Standard setzen und sein eigenes #HomeKitAccessoireProtocol (#HAP) vorerst auf Eis gelegt haben.
