Weekly output: inflight WiFi, Visible’s prepaid Verizon home 5G, Uber’s travel ambitions, AT&T emergency response
Happy World Press Freedom Day to all who celebrate! Which should be all who don’t want to accept the lies of people in power.
I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers Wednesday explaining three fair ways that you can take one story idea and sell it more than once.
4/28/2026: Looking for Fast Wi-Fi on Your Next Flight? Pick an Airline With Starlink, PCMag
This was going to be a straightforward writeup of Ookla’s report about Speedtest measurements of inflight connectivity, but some details seemed just off enough to require follow-up questions.
4/29/2026: Verizon’s Visible Prepaid Brand Adds $300-Per-Year 5G Home Broadband, PCMag
This was going to be a a straightforward writeup of Verizon’s prepaid brand reselling Verizon’s fixed-wireless home broadband at a discount, but then I couldn’t get Visible’s site to show me the FCC-mandated broadband-facts label or even let me start a service order.
5/1/2026: Uber wants to be your travel agent, concierge, and personal shopper next, Fast Company
I took a day trip to New York Wednesday to cover Uber’s Go-Get press event. This Amtrak run was not like any of the others I’ve taken earlier between D.C. and NYC because it featured infrastructure that hadn’t been first built by the Pennsylvania Railroad 90-plus years ago: the new Portal Bridge in the Meadowlands, which is replacing a janky old drawbridge that sometimes gets stuck open.
5/1/2026: For AT&T, Disaster Recovery Includes Flying COWs and a Robot Dog, PCMag
I spent a couple of hours in one of the parking lots next to the former site of RFK Stadium–it’s still weird to see nothing where that concrete donut had stood since 1961–to check out the exhibit of emergency-response hardware that AT&T had set up there.

the purpose of the day is to celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom, assess the state of press freedom throughout the world, defend the media from attacks on their independence and pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Just wrapped up a great few days at the FTTH Conference 2025 in Amsterdam—always a valuable meeting point for anyone working to shape the future of broadband infrastructure. I had the pleasure of joining a panel discussion on multi-gigabit FTTH speeds, where we explored what can be learned from the
