Weekly output: Google I/O teaser, satellite-to-phone services, passkeys, connected-home considerations, Matter

I’m spending a few days in cooler confines–Monday morning, I head to Vancouver for the second year of Web Summit’s conference there. And just like last year, I won’t have enough time to do much wandering around British Columbia’s largest city and taking in its stunningly beautiful mountains-and-sea scenery, because I have three panels to moderate over Tuesday and Wednesday (with the conference hosts paying for my hotel and reimbursing my airfare).

5/5/2026: Google Teases I/O Pregame Event. How to Watch ‘The Android Show’ on May 12, PCMag

This was one of the shortest posts I’ve written for PCMag, owing to the paucity of information in the brief teaser video Google published.

5/7/2026: FCC Chair: Starlink Isn’t Enough. We Need at Least 3 Satellite-to-Phone Services, PCMag

I spent Wednesday afternoon at the wireless trade group CTIA’s annual summit in Washington. Most of the talks on the program didn’t yield anything too newsworthy, but Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr’s appearance met that bar even though he didn’t talk about his clumsy attempts to leverage the FCC’s broadcast licensing authority to punish TV shows and TV hosts for being mean to Republicans.

5/7/2026: Passkey-Adoption Report Finds Many Orgs Don’t Know How to Quit Passwords, PCMag

I had an advance copy of this FIDO Alliance survey but didn’t have time to write it up in advance; fortunately, Thursday did have enough idle time for me to get this post written and filed.

5/8/2026: Smart Homes In Practice: Bridging Design, Integration, And Market Promises With Real Human-Centered Living Outcomes, Smarter Infrastructure Summit

I had a brief trip to Chicago–well, its suburb Rosemont–for this small conference. I was a late addition to this panel, in which moderator Lisa An Wong quizzed me and architect Stephen Yas and connect-home integrator Corey Ardell about ways to get homes and the appliances in them thoughtfully wired.

5/9/2026: Matter Smart Home Standard Still Looks Immaterial At Retail, Smarter Infrastructure Summit

The title of this talk I did mirrors the story I did for PCMag almost three years ago; that post caught the attention of the conference organizers, and the chance to revisit the topic and get in some practice with doing a solo presentation led me to accept their travel-expenses-covered invitation.

Amazon has acquired Globalstar and is going to expand its Leo Satellite network. This means Amazon has officially become a utility, and honestly, it was only a matter of time. What does this mean for the future of communications? And especially as a rival to Starlink? Let’s discuss! Episode 351 of The Cloud Pod, out now. #TheCloudPod #Globalstar #LeoSatelliteNetwork

Amazon’s Globalstar move strengthens its D2D push and Apple link. It still doesn’t solve the launch bottleneck — and that’s why Starlink remains ahead.

Amazon bulks up its LEO Direct-to-Device (D2D) services by acquiring GlobalStar - a Louisiana based mobile satellite services (MSS) operator.

Amazon is picking up Globalstar’s existing satellite fleet, satellite operations, infrastructure and assets, including spectrum licenses with global authorizations with the goal to bolster its own direct-to-device satellite system, which it expects to start deploying in 2028.

Oh, ya, there is a little side deal with Apple too! https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-globalstar-apple #Amazon #GlobalStar #LEO #Apple #D2D #Direct2Device #Space #Satellite #Mobility #SatelliteServices
