#Verizon sent man a #refurbished phone with #MDM , then deleted his data remotely
Verizon sent one of its customers a "refurbished" phone equipped with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile that gave the company remote control over the device. The serious mistake raises questions about Verizon's process for preparing refurbished phones to be sent to customers.

AT&T & #Verizon lose #SupremeCourt case over fines for selling #location data
AT&T & Verizon lost an attempt to overturn fines for selling users’ real-time location data without consent, as the Supreme Court ruled today that the FCC process for issuing financial penalties did not violate the right to a jury trial.
AT&T convinced the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to overturn its fine last year, while Verizon lost in the 2nd Circuit. The Supreme Court took up the case to resolve the circuit split and reversed the 5th Circuit decision in today's ruling, which was 8-1 with Justice #ClarenceThomas dissenting.
#ATT & Verizon were fined a total of $104 million by the #FCC in 2024 for violations revealed in 2018. The carriers paid their fines and challenged them in circuit appeals courts, where judges’ panels ruled on the cases. Carriers claimed this system deprived them of the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.

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.

Weekly output: FCC frees Verizon from phone-unlocking rule, Donut Lab’s solid-state battery, Wikipedia turns 25, Google traffic trends
This week brought a lot of unpleasant headlines, but none made me feel uneasy like the news that Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson was subjected to an unexpected visit by the FBI at her house Wednesday that concluded with investigators confiscating her work and personal laptops, her phone and her smartwatch–all seized, it now seems, on a fraudulent pretext. Since then, the man who spent his equivalent of pocket change to buy the Post in 2013 has said nothing about that in public, yet another way in which Jeff Bezos has shown himself an unworthy successor to Katharine Graham and her son Don Graham.
In addition to what you see below, I wrote a post for Patreon readers sharing bonus bits about what I learned at CES two weeks ago.
1/12/2026, FCC Unties Verizon From 60-Day Phone-Unlocking Rule, PCMag
Two days after the Federal Communications Commission granted Verizon’s wish, Verizon suffered an hours-long outage that people could work around relatively easily if their phones were unlocked to allow them to add a third-party eSIM.
1/15/2026: Wikipedia Is Now 25 Years Old [Citation Not Needed], PCMag
I had made a mental note to myself to write an essay about the free online encyclopedia hitting the quarter-century mark, but then the actual date snuck up on me. Fortunately, the lede and the headline basically wrote themselves.
1/17/2026: Donut Labs’ Solid-State Battery-Powered Motorcycle Turned Heads at CES, But Big Questions Remain, PCMag
Writing this left me feeling over my skis more than usual–I don’t cover battery technology in any great depth, this startup has disclosed almost nothing about the design of its solid-state batteries, and two outside analysts weren’t willing to assess their pitch. But reading up at length on this company and on others working on better EV batteries did make me realize one thing: There’s enough innovation happening here that we don’t need Donut’s invention to work.
1/17/2026: AI Is Still Hammering News Sites, Google Search and Social Referrals Plunge, PCMag
The brutal declines in Google search traffic reported in a study published Monday by the University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism caught my eyes and those of my editors, but I also found some news value in this report’s stats about which online platforms and technologies newsroom leaders plan to emphasize or back away from.

#Verizon to stop automatic unlocking of #phones as #FCC ends 60-day unlock rule
FCC waives rule that forced Verizon to unlock phones 60 days after activation.
The change will make it harder for people to switch from Verizon to other carriers.
The Verizon petition was opposed in a filing by #PublicKnowledge, the #BentonFoundation, #ConsumerReports, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (#EFF), #iFixit, and other groups.

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?

Weekly output: phone plans, Nvidia keynote, passkey adoption, Bending Spoons buys AOL, SpaceX simplifying Starship lander, Internet luminaries on the open Web
This is not going to be a great week for normal sleep cycles: Tuesday, I will wake up at around 4 a.m. to spend a 15-plus hour shift working as an election officer for Arlington, and then Wednesday I’m off to Dulles Airport for this year’s final business trip across the Atlantic. I’m departing for Web Summit in Lisbon several days early because the organizers of another conference, the Mozilla Festival, offered a press pass and a travel stipend to cover that event in Barcelona. I’ve heard good things about this conference over the years, so accepting an invitation to spend a few days in one of my favorite cities in Europe was an easy call.
In addition to what you see below, Patreon readers got a detailed recap of how this past week’s event-packed schedule left its own series of dents in my calendar.
10/28/2025: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
This was going to be a modest update to the guide that I’ve been maintaining since 2014, but T-Mobile jacking up prices while AT&T and Verizon inflicted more modest rate hikes led to us dethroning T-Mo on cost grounds and handing our “for most people” pick to AT&T, which has advanced its own 5G network considerably.
10/28/2025: In DC, Nvidia CEO Touts New AI Partnerships, Goes a Little MAGA, PCMag
Heading into Nvidia’s conference, I was worried that CEO Jensen Huang would go into the weeds about the finer points of GPU architecture. Instead, he used this nearly two-hour keynote to jump from topic to topic without getting into too much detail about any of them–and kept coming back to opportunities to praise President Trump.
10/29/2025: Passkey Adoption Sees Striking Progress, With One Obvious Leader, PCMag
I struggled to get this written at the end of a long workday, resulting in my getting some nuances wrong that required updating the post the next morning.
11/1/2025: Serial Dot-Com Purchaser Bending Spoons to Buy AOL, But Why?, PCMag
Writing about AOL in 2025 makes me feel so old, but as one of PCMag’s graybeards I had to cover the news of Bending Spoons buying the company that once ruled the online world. I got to this story a day after it broke, so I turned that lag into an opportunity to expand the piece with some quotes from a publicist for that Italian firm and from a podcast interview of its CEO Luca Ferrari last year
11/1/2025: After Elon Tantrum, SpaceX Now Prepping ‘Simplified’ Starship-Based Lunar Lander, PCMag
Since I wrote about Elon Musk’s childish reaction to NASA’s understandable concern over the pace of its Human Landing System work, I had to reach for a keyboard to cover SpaceX’s grown-up corporate response.
11/1/2025: ‘The Truth Is Paywalled.’ Internet Vets Lament the State of the ‘Open’ Web, PCMag
This Monday-evening panel was one of the first items on my calendar this week, but having event after event after event follow it led to me not writing it up until Thursday night. Once again, it was a serious treat to hear some of the Internet’s founding figures talk about the state of the thing they invented.

11/1/2025: ‘The Truth Is Paywalled.’ Internet Vets Lament the State of the ‘Open’ Web, PCMag
This Monday-evening panel was one of the first items on my calendar this week, but having event after event after event follow it led to me not writing it up until Thursday night. Once again, it was a serious treat to hear some of the Internet’s founding figures talk about the state of the thing they invented.

Weekly output: phone plans, Nvidia keynote, passkey adoption, Bending Spoons buys AOL, SpaceX simplifying Starship lander, Internet luminaries on the open Web
This is not going to be a great week for normal sleep cycles: Tuesday, I will wake up at around 4 a.m. to spend a 15-plus hour shift working as an election officer for Arlington, and then Wednesday I’m off to Dulles Airport for this year’s final business trip across the Atlantic. I’m departing for Web Summit in Lisbon several days early because the organizers of another conference, the Mozilla Festival, offered a press pass and a travel stipend to cover that event in Barcelona. I’ve heard good things about this conference over the years, so accepting an invitation to spend a few days in one of my favorite cities in Europe was an easy call.
In addition to what you see below, Patreon readers got a detailed recap of how this past week’s event-packed schedule left its own series of dents in my calendar.
10/28/2025: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
This was going to be a modest update to the guide that I’ve been maintaining since 2014, but T-Mobile jacking up prices while AT&T and Verizon inflicted more modest rate hikes led to us dethroning T-Mo on cost grounds and handing our “for most people” pick to AT&T, which has advanced its own 5G network considerably.
10/28/2025: In DC, Nvidia CEO Touts New AI Partnerships, Goes a Little MAGA, PCMag
Heading into Nvidia’s conference, I was worried that CEO Jensen Huang would go into the weeds about the finer points of GPU architecture. Instead, he used this nearly two-hour keynote to jump from topic to topic without getting into too much detail about any of them–and kept coming back to opportunities to praise President Trump.
10/29/2025: Passkey Adoption Sees Striking Progress, With One Obvious Leader, PCMag
I struggled to get this written at the end of a long workday, resulting in my getting some nuances wrong that required updating the post the next morning.
11/1/2025: Serial Dot-Com Purchaser Bending Spoons to Buy AOL, But Why?, PCMag
Writing about AOL in 2025 makes me feel so old, but as one of PCMag’s graybeards I had to cover the news of Bending Spoons buying the company that once ruled the online world. I got to this story a day after it broke, so I turned that lag into an opportunity to expand the piece with some quotes from a publicist for that Italian firm and from a podcast interview of its CEO Luca Ferrari last year
