FCC chairman Ajit Pai endorses T-Mobile / Sprint merger

[ad_1] Today, I circulated an order that would approve, subject to conditions, the proposed merger of T-Mobile and Sprint. The deal would advance fast #5G across the country, help close #digitaldivide, and put critical mid-band spectrum to use. My full statement: https://t.co/fBKvLnPgmm pic.twitter.com/21r3Us9cUG — Ajit Pai (@AjitPaiFCC) August 14, 2019 He added that, under the […]

Verizon will sell Tumblr to the owner of WordPress

[ad_1] And in case you’re wondering: no, Automattic won’t reverse the ban on adult content. He saw Tumblr as a companion to WordPress and “just fun.” It’s a low-key end to a long, rough chapter in Tumblr’s history. Yahoo bought the site in 2013 for a hefty $1.1 billion, but never really found a way […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 is a tiny bit smaller and costs less than before

[ad_1] As the many, many leaks indicated, the Note 10 is a refinement on its predecessor, with smaller than ever bezels and a center-aligned camera hole on the front that make for a pretty striking impression. It’s subjective, but I feel like the center camera hole just looks better than the off-center one found on […]

Man charged with bribing AT&T staff to illegally unlock phones

[ad_1] There's no question that there's a market for unlocked phones, but one man may have been too eager to profit from that demand. The US has charged Pakistani citizen Muhammad Fahd with bribing staff at AT&T's call center in Bothell, Washington to… [ad_2] Source link

AT&T rolls out 5G in NYC, but only for business at first

[ad_1] This represents the 21st city to have AT&T’s 5G network, although it’s far from complete. Right now, access is largely limited to millimeter wave 5G that’s very fast, but doesn’t reach far and rarely holds up indoors. Practical 5G will arrive in the “coming months,” when AT&T starts a wider rollout of 5G on […]

Comcast’s Xfinity suffering nationwide outage

[ad_1] @comcast please quit disrupting my service. This is absurd. 2nd night in a row. I need the internet for music to sleep. Music helps me sleep. So please hurry along the routine maintenance. @comcastcares pic.twitter.com/rK0UGAcF4I — Julian Robbins (@ToshibaLaptops3) August 6, 2019 The outage started around 1:40 AM eastern time, according to several tweets.

Verizon temporarily drops the 5G fee on its most expensive data plans

[ad_1] The most affordable plan, Start, will offer 5G access — previously only the higher-level plans came with 5G capability. The previous middle-tier plan, Beyond, will be broken into Play More and Do More. And the new Get More option will replace Above Unlimited. The new mid-level plans are priced the same, and have unlimited […]

Verizon expands its 5G network to Atlanta, Detroit, Indianapolis and DC

[ad_1] As has been the case in Verizon’s other 5G cities to date, service is initially available in select areas, typically around public spaces like stadiums, parks and college campuses — though Verizon plans to expand to other parts of town soon. In Washington DC, for instance, coverage areas include landmarks such as the White […]

Farewell DirecTV Now, hello AT&T TV Now

[ad_1] The AT&T TV app will be available sometime in the “coming weeks,” and existing customers will see the change take effect automatically through software updates. More details will be coming when the rollout starts in earnest, AT&T said. This does save you the trouble of downloading yet another app, and it’s more consistent with […]
