Weekly output: social-media cleanup, Verizon’s phone-unlock waiting period, NASA’s Starliner report
This will be a travel-abbreviated workweek: Friday afternoon, I head to Dulles to start my journey to Spain for MWC Barcelona, still one of my favorite reasons to get on a plane for business. I’ll be there until March 5, so the next few days would be an excellent time to hit me up with any questions you have about the future of the wireless industry.
Meanwhile, Patreon readers got a bonus post from me this week about my continued struggles with my home WiFi, in which trying to pick out a good mesh-network option has required wrestling with unexpected national-security concerns.
2/17/2026: Social-media cleanses, Al Jazeera
The Arabic-language news channel had me in studio to offer some perspective about people implicated in the Epstein files trying to cleanse their social-media history. I said that if you’re sufficiently prominent, the Internet doesn’t forget things.
2/18/2026: Paid Off Your Phone Early? Verizon to Ease 35-Day Hold to Unlock It, PCMag
Four days after Ars Technica’s Jon Brodkin reported that Verizon had begun requiring a 35-day waiting period to complete unlocking a phone paid off early (unless you made that payment in one of Verizon’s own stores with cash or a credit card’s chip or tap-to-pay options), I asked Verizon for comment. Hours later, I got a statement that the company was working to allow online payments to qualify for an immediate unlock–and then Verizon didn’t give Brodkin the same statement.
2/20/2026: Unpacking Starliner Failures, NASA Chief Delivers Scathing Assessment, PCMag
While I was at a space-industry conference in Tysons Thursday, NASA announced the findings of an investigation into everything that went wrong with Boeing’s Starliner crew capsule after its first and still only launch with astronauts aboard. So instead of writing up one of the panels at this event, I started reading the agency’s 311-page report, hit up Boeing PR for a comment and got in a call with a longtime observer and critic of NASA. Then I spent more of Friday than I’d planned on writing this post.

Ars Technica: Musk’s X posts on ketamine, Putin spur release of his security clearances. “Elon Musk’s social media posts helped The New York Times win its fight to secure a list detailing the billionaire’s top-secret security clearances after a US agency tried to block the disclosures by claiming that Musk had a right to privacy.”

#Israel helps former soldier leave #Brazil over investigation into alleged #WarCrimes in #Gaza
By SAM MEDNICK and WAFAA SHURAFA, January 5, 2025
JERUSALEM (AP) — "Israel has helped a former soldier leave Brazil after legal action was initiated against him by a group accusing Israelis of war crimes in the Gaza Strip based in part on soldiers’ #SocialMediaPosts.
"Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday said it had helped the former soldier safely leave Brazil on a commercial flight after what it described as 'anti-Israel elements' sought an investigation last week. It warned Israelis against posting on social media about their military service.
"The #HindRajabFoundation, named for a 5-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, said Brazilian authorities had launched an investigation into the soldier after it filed a complaint based on video footage, geolocation data and photographs showing him taking part in the demolition of civilian homes.
"The foundation described the move as a 'pivotal step toward accountability for crimes committed in Gaza' during nearly 15 months of war.
"There was no immediate comment from Brazilian authorities. Brazilian media reported Saturday that the investigation was ordered by an on-call federal judge in Brazil’s Federal District. The decision was issued on Dec. 30 but first reported over the weekend."
