Weekly output: Next Big Things in Tech (x3), Starship, T-Satellite, prepaid home wireless broadband

A months-in-the-work project finally reached the publication stage this week, which felt good–if not as good as invoicing for this project. Another high point of this week: spending a chunk of Saturday afternoon at the No Kings demonstration in D.C. and seeing how strong the protest-sign game remains in my city.

10/17/2025: T-Mobile, Verizon Now Selling 5G Home Internet Service Via Their Prepaid Brands, PCMag

Telecom-industry analyst Jeff Moore e-mailed me about the impending launch of resold Verizon fixed-wireless-access broadband by its Tracfone subsidiary, then T-Mobile’s Mint Mobile subsidiary started reselling its parent firm’s FWA. Moore then gave me some useful insight about the state of prepaid home wireless broadband.
