HBO Max is a mess — but it’s still a smart bet on HBO’s future

[ad_1] But here’s the thing: These missteps won’t matter in the long run. This isn’t a Quibi situation, a fundamentally flawed service that has no place in the current media landscape. HBO Max is everything HBO already offered, plus exclusive shows and films from the Warner library. It’s also the only place you can stream […]

Samsung’s $399 Galaxy A51 comes to AT&T and Xfinity Mobile

[ad_1] Samsung’s Galaxy A51 is a viable alternative to the iPhone SE if you’re looking for a mid-priced phone, but you’ve been out of luck if you wanted to get it through a carrier besides Sprint or Verizon (Engadget’s parent company). You won’t have to wait longer for more options, though. AT&T and Xfinity Mobile […]

HBO Max pre-order promo drops price to $12 per month for the first year

[ad_1] HBO Max is taking a page out of the Disney+ playbook by offering sizeable discounts to early adopters. The streaming service is running a pre-order promotion that drops the price from $15 per month to $12 for the first year if you’re either a new subscriber or a “returning eligible” HBO Now customer. That’s […]

Charter is the first cable company with a deal for HBO Max

[ad_1] WarnerMedia didn’t initially say how TV providers besides AT&T would offer HBO Max, but that’s now becoming clear through a first-ever deal. Cable provider Charter has landed a multi-year agreement that will make HBO Max available to all of its existing HBO subscribers on Spectrum at no extra charge. You’ll only have to sign […]

AT&T will give users an extra 15GB of mobile hotspot data

[ad_1] At the same time, AT&T will provide more contact-free delivery options that include curbside pickup (if there’s an AT&T store still open near you) and doorstep delivery with virtual setup if you need help. This measure is a logical extension of AT&T’s existing efforts, such as lifting caps for landline broadband. While it might […]

AT&T and Cricket offer customers a $15 plan for a limited time

[ad_1] It’s worth noting, though, that T-Mobile’s plan can access the carrier’s faster 5G network for customers who have 5G phones. However, it also suspends data access until the next billing cycle after the allotted 2GB of high-speed data gets used up. AT&T’s and Cricket’s new plan won’t cut off users once they’re done with […]

AT&T and Comcast improve internet access in response to COVID-19

[ad_1] Comcast is focussing on its Internet Essentials program, which provides broadband to low-income Americans for $9.95 per month. Now, new, qualifying customers can sign up for 60 days at no cost, and Comcast is boosting broadband speeds for all Internet Essentials customers. Over the next few days, it will bump speeds from 15/2 Mbps […]

Google yanks March security update for AT&T Pixel 4

[ad_1] The update, which includes fixes for a number of issues affecting Pixel devices, was first pushed out Monday. But, a day later, Google lists the Pixel 4 version of the release as available for all carriers “except AT&T.” The company hasn’t officially commented on why it pulled its software for AT&T, but Reddit users […]

Coronavirus bursts Big Tech’s bubble

[ad_1] During RSA’s second day, the City of San Francisco declared a State of Emergency. By day three, California confirmed its first Coronavirus case of unknown origin, sending the world outside RSA into a tailspin. Needless to say, this was not one of the viruses 40,000 infosec professionals were looking for. However, RSA is a […]

FCC proposes token fines for carriers that sold phone location data

[ad_1] The networks followed a similar pattern, according to the FCC. They sold location access to aggregators that themselves resold access to service providers, with each carrier relying largely on “contract-based assurances” that they’d get permission from customers before accessing that info. As you might have guessed, that didn’t always happen — one Missouri Sheriff, […]
