#LibreQoS - When we finished removing the reload penalty, we unblocked a lot of development options - many of them features people have been wanting for a long time. The most recent is dynamic circuits:

AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Satellite failed to achieve optimal orbit in launch on April 19, and it will be "deorbited".

The full-size mobile-broadband satellite was carried to space by Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, and it successfully separated from the launch rocket and powered on but was placed into a lower orbit than planned.

AST SpaceMobile is building a space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly from standard, unmodified smartphones. https://www.pcmag.com/news/blue-origin-rocket-launches-then-loses-ast-spacemobile-bluebird-satellite #Space #ASTSpaceMobile #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #Satellite #SpaceCraft #BlueBird #DirecttoDevice #BroadBand #Cellular

Blue Origin aces rocket reuse, but satellite goes awry
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture used a previously flown New Glenn rocket booster to send a satellite into space today, marking a first for the company.

After it aced its second launch, the first-stage booster — nicknamed “Never Tell Me the Odds” — made yet anoth

_"Telco broadband contracts in North America have an average monthly cost of $98.40. The US is ranked 167th out of the 214 countries studied""_

That seem expensive, but they don't say what you get for that money. I'm paying £42.99 ($58.17) per month in the UK for a 500 Mbps fibre link.

Holy Cord Cutting Batman!

Roku reports it has >100M streaming households worldwide, based on the number of distinct user accounts streaming on the Roku platform over a 30-day period in April. Roku is used by more than half of all US broadband households.

Data from Comscore indicates that Roku generates more than three times the viewer engagement of the next leading television operating system in the United States. https://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2026/04/16/roku-tops-100-million-streaming-households-worldwide/ #Roku #TV #Streaming #Entertainment #Television #CordCutting #BroadBand
