Weekly output: RootMetrics wireless network report

DOHA, Qatar–Between two daylong conferences in D.C. Thursday and Friday, scrambling to finish up some longer posts so I could put them on a January invoice instead of waiting yet another month, and getting ready to fly almost 7,000 miles here for Web Summit Qatar, I only had one post appear under my byline this week.

Patreon readers, however, got one extra post from me: my annual look into my income sources for the previous year.

1/26/2026: Verizon Has Slight Edge Over AT&T, T-Mobile, Except in One Key Category, PCMag

I’ve been covering RootMetrics’ nationwide testing of wireless carriers for years, but this was the first time I could quiz my former Light Reading editor Mike Dano for a story about them. He moved from that trade pub to become an analyst for RootMetrics’ parent firm Ookla last year, and I could see Mike’s knowledge of the business show up in the new RootMetrics report’s detailed breakdown of network infrastructure progress at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

Weekly output: Mozilla Firefox CEO, AI crawlers vs. publishers and creators, teenage AI chatbot use, Android Live Emergency Video, PCMag’s best tech bought in 2025, World App

Somehow I’m down to the last full workweek of the year–and yet my writing and gift shopping seem to have more than a week’s worth of work remaining.

12/8/2025: Mozilla is doing a delicate dance with AI, Fast Company

I spoke with Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers at a Web Summit event for the second time this year. One thing Firefox’s management no longer needs to worry about, unlike when I met with Chambers at Web Summit Qatar in February: the threat of Google being forced to stop paying browser developers to keep its search engine as the default.

12/9/2025: AI Platforms Are Paying (Some) Big Publishers, Leaving Smaller Ones Behind, PCMag

This post began with me taking notes from a Web Summit panel featuring Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince talking about that Internet infrastructure company’s Pay Per Crawl initiative to push AI providers to pay Web publishers for access to their content, then I did some follow-up reporting that included setting up Cloudflare’s AI Crawl Control bot-blocking filter on this blog, and then I had to update the post the morning it was published after the European Commission opened an investigation into how Google runs its AI Overview search feature.

12/9/2025: 28% of Teens Use Chatbots Daily. You Can Probably Guess Which One They Like Best, PCMag

The latest survey by the Pew Research Center surfaced some interesting statistics about how much teenagers use AI chatbots and which ones they use the most.

12/10/2025: Need Help? Android Phones Can Now Share Live Video With 911 Dispatchers, PCMag

Google is shipping this feature a year after Apple did, but its emergency live video implementation works on far more devices than Apple’s.

12/11/2025: The Best Tech PCMag Editors Bought in 2025, PCMag

I wrote a short graf lauding the compact, quick-charging (and Wirecutter-endorsed) USB-C charger that I bought after losing the considerably bulkier model that came with my laptop.

12/13/2025: App That Verifies Your Existence Adds Encrypted Messaging, PCMag

Tools for Humanity announced an update to its World App that adds an end-to-end-encrypted chat feature and expands its cryptocurrency tools. I took advantage of this news peg to try out the app’s ability to verify a “World ID” by scanning the NFC tag on my U.S. passport; that did not go well at all for me.

12/15/2025: Updated to add the PCMag best-tech package that I forgot to check for on Sunday.

Apple Music o sztucznej inteligencji i przyszłości tworzenia muzyki

Podczas konferencji Web Summit w Lizbonie Ole Obermann, współprowadzący Apple Music, wraz z DJ-em Arminem van Buurenem omówili wpływ technologii na przemysł muzyczny.

Jak donosi iFeed, Obermann i van Buuren pojawili się na scenie ostatniego dnia Web Summit w Lizbonie, aby omówić, w jaki sposób technologia zmienia branżę muzyczną, od rozwoju streamingu po rosnącą rolę sztucznej inteligencji w produkcji muzycznej.

Obermann, który w poprzednich latach uczestniczył w wydarzeniu jako dyrektor wykonawczy ByteDance, stwierdził, że „przed nami złota era”, w której technologia umożliwia szerszy dostęp, więcej możliwości odkrywania i głębsze powiązania między artystami a fanami.

Kiedy temat przeszedł na sztuczną inteligencję, van Buuren powiedział Obermannowi, że już włączył narzędzia sztucznej inteligencji do swojego arsenału produkcji muzycznej, przytaczając praktyczny przykład, w którym zmienił głos męskiego piosenkarza na głos żeńskiej piosenkarki z pomocą sztucznej inteligencji.

Mimo rosnącej roli technologii, Obermann podkreślił znaczenie ludzkiego elementu i autentyczności w muzyce. Armin van Buuren chwalił też technologię Spatial Audio Apple Music, która wzmocniła odbiór jego nowego albumu „Piano”, nagranego w całości w jednym podejściu.

6G to nie tylko prędkość. Qualcomm buduje „stale czującą sieć”, która da kontekst agentom AI

Przez lata przyzwyczailiśmy się, że każda kolejna generacja sieci komórkowej (3G, 4G, 5G) oznaczała po prostu szybsze pobieranie i niższe opóźnienia.

Z 6G ma być zupełnie inaczej. Jak stwierdził CEO Qualcomm, Cristiano Amon, sieć 6G jest projektowana „specjalnie dla AI” i ma działać jak „stale czująca sieć”, która da naszym asystentom kontekst do działania.

Podczas swojego wystąpienia na Web Summit, Cristiano Amon, szef firmy, która w dużej mierze definiuje standardy łączności na świecie, nakreślił wizję przyszłości, w której 6G jest fundamentem dla agentów AI.

Ewolucja „G” według Qualcomm

Amon przypomniał, że każda generacja sieci była bramą do nowej ery w technologii:

• 2G dało nam rozmowy mobilne.
• 3G podłączyło telefon do internetu.
• 4G zmieniło nasze telefony w komputery (aplikacje).
• 5G dało nam nieograniczone dane i krytyczną łączność (streaming, gry w chmurze).
• 6G ma „rozwiązać problem łączności dla ery AI”.

Dlaczego AI potrzebuje 6G?

Według Amona, wchodzimy w erę, w której dominującym interfejsem znów stanie się głos. Będziemy rozmawiać z agentami AI tak, jak dziś piszemy na klawiaturze. Abyśmy mogli w pełni zaufać asystentom, którzy w naszym imieniu mają wysyłać maile czy dokonywać płatności (niedawno opisywaliśmy wdrożenie agentowej AI przez Google w Stanach Zjednoczonych), połączenie musi być absolutnie bezbłędne i natychmiastowe. I tu wkracza 6G, oferując nie tylko prędkość, ale przede wszystkim kontekst.

„Kup to za mnie”. Google wprowadza agentów AI, którzy sami dzwonią do sklepów i finalizują zakupy

Czym jest „stale czująca sieć”?

To najbardziej rewolucyjna (i nieco niepokojąca) koncepcja. 6G ma być nie tylko pasywnym przekaźnikiem danych, ale aktywnym sensorem. Amon wyjaśnił, że sama technologia radiowa będzie w stanie wykrywać zmiany w otoczeniu. Podał dwa zmuszające do zastanowienia przykłady:

Zastosowanie pozytywne: sieć 6G będzie w stanie wykryć zakłócenia w częstotliwości radiowej w pokoju dziecka i monitorować zmiany w oddechu niemowlęcia bez potrzeby instalowania w pokoju dziecka jakiegokolwiek monitora.

Zastosowanie kontrowersyjne: masowe rozpoznawanie twarzy, pozwalające na jednoczesną identyfikację wszystkich osób w pomieszczeniu.

„Wiem, że to brzmi trochę strasznie” – przyznał sam Amon, ale podkreślił, że ten poziom rozumienia kontekstu przez sieć będzie kluczowy dla efektywnego działania agentów AI. Sieci 6G mają zacząć pojawiać się na świecie za około pięć lat, czyli w okolicach 2030 roku.

Wypłata w krypto prosto na portfel? Visa łączy tradycyjne waluty ze stablecoinami

Visa ogłosiła dziś (13 listopada) podczas Web Summit przełomowy program pilotażowy. Gigant płatniczy umożliwi firmom wysyłanie wynagrodzeń w tradycyjnej walucie, które trafią do odbiorców – freelancerów i twórców – bezpośrednio jako cyfrowe dolary (stablecoiny) na ich portfele krypto.

To rozwiązanie może zrewolucjonizować sposób rozliczeń w pracy zdalnej i freelancingu. Nowy system w ramach Visa Direct pozwala firmom finansować wypłaty w walutach fiducjarnych (np. USD, EUR), podczas gdy odbiorca końcowy otrzymuje środki w stablecoinach zabezpieczonych dolarem amerykańskim (np. USDC).

Koniec z czekaniem na przelew

Głównym celem programu jest szybkość. Zamiast czekać dni na procesowanie przelewów międzynarodowych, twórcy mają otrzymywać środki w ciągu kilku minut.

Jak wynika z raportu Visa 2025 Creator Economy Report, aż 57% twórców wskazuje natychmiastowy dostęp do pieniędzy jako główny powód wyboru cyfrowych metod płatności. Nowe rozwiązanie eliminuje bariery takie jak godziny pracy banków czy skomplikowane procedury transgraniczne.

Jak to działa w praktyce?

Mechanizm jest prosty i zdejmuje ciężar obsługi krypto z pracodawcy:

• Firma (Klient): wysyła środki w tradycyjnej walucie.
• Visa Direct: przetwarza transakcję.
• Freelancer/Twórca: otrzymuje wpłatę bezpośrednio na swój portfel stablecoinowy.

To kluczowa różnica względem wcześniejszych ogłoszeń Visy (np. z września), które dotyczyły zaplecza finansowego firm. Teraz technologia trafia bezpośrednio do portfela konsumenta.

Kiedy dostępne?

Obecnie program jest w fazie pilotażu z wybranymi partnerami. Visa zapowiada szersze, globalne wdrożenie tej usługi na drugą połowę 2026 roku. To jasny sygnał, że stablecoiny przestają być niszą dla entuzjastów, a stają się pełnoprawnym narzędziem w globalnym systemie płac.

Visa wzmacnia dział cyberbezpieczeństwa. Nowe usługi doradcze dla klientów

Conference VOD is good, quickly-available conference VOD is better

LISBON

With hundreds of panels spread across 15 stages, keeping up with the programming at Web Summit here has once again been impossible–but even catching the entirety of panels in this conference’s densely-packed schedule while also making it to my own meetings and finding time to write has been a challenge.

Which is why I have to commend the conference app that has been the subject of earlier gripes here for doing one thing quite well: video on demand of sessions on side stages. And Web Summit’s app has been serving this up not days or weeks later as at other conferences I’ve covered lately, but often minutes after a session wraps.

For center-stage programming, I’ve had the same option any of you do at home: Web Summit’s YouTube live video. This has also offered me the option of viewing on my laptop, although on any size of screen the YouTube feed comes with ad breaks.

Both of these options have bailed me out multiple times when I’ve taken too long to get from one place to another or just lost track of time.

(Note: The schedule included three panels I moderated, in return for which the organizers once again covered my lodging and are reimbursing my airfare.)

Having this resource at hand has also helped me do my job in a less obvious way: I can easily verify that my notes have somebody’s remarks and other panel details correct by skipping to that point in the recording.

This is a good and useful thing for a conference to do for its attendees. And while it might be a bit much to hope that other gatherings match Web Summit’s events in such aspects as, say, speaker-lounge catering, quickly-available VOD shouldn’t be as scarce as it is today.

A long day on the stand but some brilliant conversations, idea exchanges and potential follow ups at the #WebSummit

@pluralistic Just want to say your talk today at the #WebSummit was brilliant.

The most honest and relevant in a nauseating overload of big tech brown-nosing, FOMO-inducing speakers and "AI at all cost" ambassadors.

Just want to say thanks. Your voice, important leadership and message is valued, being heard and heeded by many!

„Innovation und Technologie sind kein ‚nice to have‘. Sie sind der Motor des Wachstums und die Basis für eine bessere Zukunft.“ Digitalminister Karsten Wildberger in seiner Keynote auf dem #WebSummit.

Der Minister hat die Tech-Konferenz in Lissabon besucht und dort den Messe-Auftritt von Unternehmen der deutschen Start-up-Szene eröffnet. Der Web Summit ist eine der größten internationalen Netzwerkveranstaltungen für Technologie, Wirtschaft und Politik.

Weekly output: Tech Talks podcast, SpaceX Starship, AI data privacy, Bluesky CEO Jay Graber, agentic AI, scaling AI, Trump scrubs NASA nomination

This week will be my fourth in a row with nights away from home–but since the first of those was something I did for fun, nobody should feel too sorry for me. Plus, last week’s trip for Web Summit Vancouver treated me to some beautiful mountain, water and city scenery. This week’s less-scenic trip is to Santa Clara, where I’m moderating three panels about… wait for it… AI at the TechEx North American conference.

I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers: a breakdown of my inputs and outputs from Google I/O as compared to two prior trips to cover Google’s developer conference.

5/26/2025: Education, Education, Education! The Biggest Lessons from Rio., Tech Talks

I joined this episode of the podcast that my conference pal David Savage does for his employer Nash Squared almost a month ago at Web Summit Rio, when I sat down in front of a microphone with David, Ingra Labs founder Nicole Ingra, and Koala CEO Benjamin Buthmann.

5/28/2025: On Ninth Test Flight, SpaceX’s Starship Rocket Survives Launch But Not Space, PCMag

Instead of taking some time to explore Vancouver after my late-morning arrival, I caught up on e-mail while waiting for my room to be ready, got in an interview for an upcoming story and then watched the livestream of SpaceX’s ninth launch of its gigantic Starship rocket–which proved to be almost as snakebit as the previous two test flights.

5/28/2025: Whose data is it anyway?, Web Summit Vancouver

My first of three panels at the summit had me quizzing Pamela Snively, chief data and trust officer at Telus Communications, and Amin Venjara, chief data officer of ADP.

5/29/2025: Bluesky Still Figuring Out How to Make Money Without Spamming You With Ads, PCMag

I left my schedule open Tuesday evening to see Bluesky CEO Jay Graber’s talk onstage, then finished writing it up early Wednesday morning after jet lag once again had me wake up before 6 a.m.

5/29/2025: The agentic era, Web Summit Vancouver

My panel with Josh Software co-founder Gautam Rege and Outreach CEO Abhijit Mitra, featured something I hadn’t seen before at Web Summit events: The countdown clock moved backwards. I found out afterwards that since the previous speaker had ended early, the stage producers opted to give us his stoppage time after seeing that we were having fun in our conversation.

5/29/2025: Building the new internet: Lessons in simplicity, security, and scale, Web Summit Vancouver

My third panel started 20 minutes after my second and on the same stage, leaving just enough time backstage for a quick sync-up with Tailscale CEO Avery Pennarun. He brought a somewhat cranky view of AI-industry hype that I appreciated very much.

5/31/2025: Trump Hits ‘Undo’ on Private Astronaut’s Nomination for NASA Administrator, PCMag

Maybe because I spent a large part of Friday offline in the sky, I couldn’t resist a chance to cover President Trump withdrawing his nomination of payments billionaire and private astronaut Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator–because writing that post also let me loop in readers about the brutal budget outline for the space agency posted Friday.

Weekly output: Internet founders in D.C., Tim Berners-Lee at Web Summit, Bluesky account-verification advice

This holiday-shortened week still had a lot of work–just not all the kind that yielded bylines, in some cases not the kind that will yield bylines this year.

11/25/2024: Internet Founders: Open Architectures Are Best, But Big Tech Makes It Difficult, PCMag

As I wrote last week, it’s a treat seeing Internet pioneers speak about how their collective invention has been working out and what we ought to be doing with it.

11/27/2024: The man who gave us the web is building a better digital wallet, Fast Company

My Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I wanted to join him to quiz the inventor of the Web at Web Summit, and I quickly said I’d clear my schedule for that. Like two years ago, Harry asked most of the questions and then wrote up our conversation.

11/29/2024: Real or Imposter? How to Verify That a Bluesky Account Is Legit, PCMag

My inspiration for this how-to came from seeing some bozo try to impersonate Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.) on Bluesky, then wondering why my congressman had not domain-verified his account with a house.gov handle, then personally shaming Bay Area Rapid Transit into tweeting its Bluesky handle from its verified X account (BART has since domain-verified its account). My editors then updated the post Sunday with details from posts Friday afternoon by Bluesky’s safety account about how the platform is dealing with this impersonation problem–including a recognition that “users want more ways to verify their identity beyond domain verification.”

Weekly output: Boost Mobile, AI at BT, digital privacy, Elon Musk’s X agenda, Salt Typhoon breaches T-Mobile

I have more than enough practice at traveling to the other side of the Atlantic, but this week’s trip to Lisbon for Web Summit had me sandbagged by jet lag almost every night. It appears that I never got my head into Western European Time, to judge from my not feeling wiped out in a “do not operate heavy machinery” way after I got home Friday night.

11/11/2024: Boost Mobile Touts 5G Network Progress, Adds Sub-$100 5G Phone to Lineup, PCMag

The advance copies of Boost’s PR materials were vague about some key points, but the carrier’s press rep did get back to me to clarify that the $10 billion network-buildout expense shared in them was a total estimate, not a forecast of costs to come.

11/12/2024: Will Gen AI generate value for the corporate landscape?, Web Summit

My first panel at this conference had me interviewing Alex Bell, BT’s digital director of service, and Michael Park, a senior vice president and global head of AI go-to-market at ServiceNow, about how the former company had enlisted the latter to put AI to work in some important IT and customer-service systems.

11/12/2024: Secure swipe: protecting customer data, Web Summit

My second and final panel–fewer than I usually field at this conference–put me on stage with Brittany Kaiser, the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower turned Own Your Data advocate, and Marcus Räder, founder and CEO of the lodging-services firm Hostaway, to discuss how companies collect and keep data and how they would be better off not hoarding so much customer information.

11/14/2024: ‘Things Are Different for Elon’: Who Needs X When You Have Political Power?, PCMag

I only wrote up one Web Summit panel for PCMag, but it was a very good one: New York Times reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac talking about Elon Musk’s chaotic takeover of Twitter. They went beyond their recount of that in their book Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter to discuss our new oligarch-in-chief’s privileged perch in Donald Trump’s circles.

11/16/2024: Chinese State-Sponsored ‘Salt Typhoon’ Hackers Also Breached T-Mobile, PCMag

I usually try to avoid writing posts on the weekend, but a) this was news that had gone uncovered at my client and b) I had written less than usual over the rest of the week and c) I have bills coming that aren’t going to pay themselves.
