#network-slicing — Public Fediverse posts

Weekly output: T-Mobile’s 5G progress, Trump cybersecurity strategy, T-Mobile’s MLB.tv bonus, IRL experiences in an AI age

AUSTIN–After a year off, I’m back at SXSW for my 12th visit as a journalist but only my third as a speaker, courtesy of a panel I’m moderating about gaming culture Tuesday. I picked up that gig when the original moderator couldn’t make the trip, after which panel organizer Nika Nour, a friend from tech-policy circles, asked if I could step in.

Patreon readers got a much longer bonus post than usual this week–the SXSW feature that GQ China never paid me for in 2023 or even, as far as I could tell, published.

3/9/2026: Skylo’s trajectory toward the ‘standardized sky’ looks to include multiple orbits, Light Reading

My show-floor appointments at MWC Barcelona concluded with my meeting Skylo CEO Parthsarathi Trivedi to talk about that satellite-to-device firm’s plans to move beyond messaging.

3/9/2026: T-Mobile: Network Slices Are Nice, But Not Necessarily a Consumer Service, PCMag

I sat down with T-Mobile’s network head on the afternoon of my last day at MWC, then needed to confirm some details with T-Mobile PR, then did not think to check one additional detail that then subsequently required a correction. That oversight, in turn, happened because I ignored my thought to self “that looks weird” in favor of congratulating myself on seeing something that nobody else had picked up.

3/10/2026: White House Cybersecurity Strategy Is Light on Details, Big on Consequences, PCMag

This three-page document posted at news-dump time on the previous Friday was so brief that I knew I’d have to get some outside perspectives on it, and two of the experts whom I’ve come to rely on obliged my belated requests for comment.

3/11/2026: T-Mobile’s MLB.TV Deal Is Back, Only Good for Watching Other Cities’ Teams, PCMag

I briefly hoped that this freebie would also come with a discount for the Nats’ long-overdue, MASN-liberated direct-to-consumer streaming option, but T-Mobile PR disabused me of that notion quickly.

3/14/2026: The Return to Real: Human Connection and the Analog Boom in the AI Era, Frontiers of Innovation Takeover

I took part in this panel hosted by this Vancouver, B.C.-based group at Canada’s SXSW setup with author and researcher Kasley Killam, a.Kartel founder and CEO Vy Lem, and Goodword co-founder Chris Fischer. My major contribution to the discussion: observing how healthy online communities spark IRL gatherings like my excuse to fly to L.A. last September, Cranky Dorkfest.

@npd + @mallory's latest report describes technologies used for #NetworkSlicing & outlines recommendations for an approach – for operators & regulators – to enable it while maintaining #NetNeutrality, protecting #privacy & promoting competition.

It will be essential that network providers regularly contribute to reporting on how #NetworkSlicing is currently deployed & its potential impact. Telecoms regulation must go hand-in-hand w/ consumer protection/enforcement of fundamental privacy rights.

Since the 1990s, CDT's been a strong advocate for #NetNeutrality, which have been essential for maintaining the diversity of services built on top of the internet + competition between large / small service providers.

Since then, new tech – like 5G mobile networks – are providing potential for new types of internet services, as well as opportunities for operators to monetize networks further. This change enables operators to engage in a technique called #NetworkSlicing.
