[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 […]

Major broadcasters sue nonprofit TV service over copyright infringement
[ad_1] The lawsuit also alleges that Locast exists to help AT&T and Dish avoid paying to carry broadcast content. Both DirectTV and Dish customers are directed to Locast on their set-top box menus. The lawsuit claims that when Locast retransmits signals, the broadcasters lose out on vital viewership information. In its defense, Locast says its […]
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 […]
Second season of DC’s ‘Doom Patrol’ will also stream on HBO Max
[ad_1] Word of the HBO Max arrangement came as DC announced that its first original live-action show, Titans, would return with its second season on September 6th.

CBS goes dark on DirecTV Now, other AT&T services in price dispute
[ad_1] AT&T has maintained that it not only offered CBS an “unprecedented rate increase,” but that the broadcaster wouldn’t let it sell All Access as a separate option and thus give customers the choice of subscribing to basic TV bundles without CBS included. CBS was allegedly trying to turn a free-to-air station into a premium […]
A sheriff’s office in Colorado will use Galaxy S9s as body cameras
[ad_1] Using Galaxy S9s as body cameras might bring some benefits, like automatic uploads and real-time livestreams. But it’s an odd thing to tout at the moment, given all of the backlash about body cameras being worn but not turned on and growing concern about police-use of facial recognition — though Samsung did not say […]
US networks improved in early 2019 with help from 5G upgrades
[ad_1] The explanation could be a straightforward one. For the most part, carriers were in a rush to either launch their 5G networks or expand what little 5G service they had. That meant upgrading their infrastructure to handle 5G’s extra demands and improving quality for everyone, whether it was call quality or download speeds. This […]
AT&T will automatically block fraud calls for new customers
[ad_1] AT&T is making quick use of FCC rules explicitly allowing carriers to block robocalls by default. The network will start automatically blocking fraud calls (and issuing suspected spam call alerts) for new phone customers as a matter course, at n… [ad_2] Source link
Real 5G is nearly three times faster than LTE, but not everywhere
[ad_1] Both the gap and the overall speeds were lower in other countries, with Switzerland and South Korea coming closest at roughly 1.1Gbps on 5G. Most of these markets don’t have millimeter wave access and are relying instead on “mid band” (typically 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz) frequencies to deliver next-gen wireless. In some cases, 5G was […]
Apple loses bidding war for J. J. Abrams’ production studio
[ad_1] Apparently, WarnerMedia’s victory came down to the breadth of what it could offer. Bad Robot wanted to work with a “larger” company that had both film and TV distribution under its belt. Streaming providers don’t really have that kind of reach, and Apple TV+ hasn’t even launched yet. This isn’t to say online services […]
