Anyone out there using Xplore 5G for their internet and also know the admin/operator credentials for the CPE? I was hoping to check my signal strength and maybe adjust the device orientation. I still have the credentials stowed away for Xplornet's devices from years back but I haven't been able to guess the new ones.

I had an unusually space-centric news week, which led me to think anew about when I could next get on a plane to Florida (or Texas) to see a large rocket launch in person instead of on a screen.
6/4/2024: Sorry, Cable: Fiber and 5G Home Internet Win the ISP Popularity Contest, PCMag
A year after the American Customer Satisfaction Index documented a dramatic gap in subscriber approval of fiber broadband compared to cable, a new ACSI survey found that people using fixed-wireless Internet also voiced more contentment with their connectivity than cable users.
6/5/2024: Boeing’s Starliner Finally Launches With Astronauts Onboard, PCMag
This post would have been shorter if Starliner’s first crewed launch had happened last month as originally scheduled, but each delay gave me an excuse to write a little more background about this launch, NASA’s commercial crew program and the history of Atlas rockets.
6/6/2024: T-Mobile’s Home Internet Backup Plan Kicks in When Your Broadband Goes Out, PCMag
After I filed my recap of T-Mobile’s announcement–which also covered a new Opensignal report about the rise of fixed wireless–I read Jon Brodkin’s report at Ars Technica and realized he’d unearthed an important issue with the carrier’s pitch. So I sent in an update to my editor from my phone while on line to get my first in a series of small plates at the NOAA Sustainable Seafood Celebration.
6/6/2024: On Fourth Launch, SpaceX’s Starship Sticks the Landing, PCMag
I wrote a second post about a pioneering rocket launch this week. I’m still amazed that Starship’s second stage made it all the way to the Indian Ocean after I watched one of its fins start to disintegrate from reentry heating live on camera.
6/8/2024: Ep 100 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Apple WWDC 24 guesses, fixed wireless access and broadband trends, Mark Vena
With our usual podcast companion John Quain out on a work trip, the Houston Chronicle’s Dwight Silverman joined us in his place.
6/9/2024: Why the US Falls Short on Easy, Cheap Cross-Border Money Transfers, PCMag
I started gathering string for this story back in February when I traveled to Vilnius, Lithuania to moderate a panel at a financial-technology conference there and get an introduction to the country’s fintech sector (with local hosts covering most of my travel expenses). Then I had to quiz an industry analyst, after which watching a panel at Web Summit Rio gave me another angle to look into.

This week featured vastly less travel than last week, but it also afforded me the rare experience of hearing an executive-branch appointee burst into song. And at the end of it, I carved out some time to write a post for Patreon readers about how certain PR pitches come with either a request or a stipulation that I cover the subject for a particular outlet.
4/23/2024: T-Mobile Adds New Fixed Wireless Plans: One for Home, One for the Road, PCMag
Of all of T-Mobile’s announcements Tuesday, the unlimited-data version of its new Away fixed-wireless plan was easily the most interesting.
4/23/2024: FTC Votes to Ban Non-Compete Clauses, PCMag
I wrote an update to the post I’d filed more than a year earlier when the Federal Trade Commission had started this rule-making process, explaining the particulars of the new FTC rule and noting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s plans to sue to overturn this ban.
4/25/2024: Feds Try Breaking Out Into Song to Get People to Take Ransomware Seriously, PCMag
I spent Wednesday at a conference in Washington hosted by the Institute for Security and Technology, then wrote this recap Thursday that led off with Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency director Jen Easterly singing a bit from an upcoming remake of Schoolhouse Rock’s “I’m Just A Bill.”
4/27/2024: Ep 99 SmartTechCheck Podcast – TikTok, smartphones and children, FCC broadband labels mandate, Mark Vena
I joined my tech-analyst friend’s podcast to discuss the new law requiring TikTok owner ByteDance to sell that social platform, the FCC’s broadband-labels regulation, how harmful smartphones might be to kids, and other tech topics.
Updated 5/5/2024 to add a link to the Patreon post.

AUSTIN–This week started with stories datelined from a city some 4,000 miles east of D.C. and ends with pieces datelined from a city about 1,300 miles southwest of home.
3/4/2024: SpaceX rivals pitch their phone-to-satellite alternatives, Light Reading
I wrote most of this piece recapping an MWC panel featuring multiple non-SpaceX satellite-to-phone services–including my Falls Church neighbors Lynk Global–on the flight home to D.C., then somehow pieced together enough scraps of jet-lagged consciousness to finish and file it Thursday night.
3/5/2024: FWA cheer spreads across the world, Light Reading
My MWC coverage wrapped up with my writing and filing this post about fixed-wireless access Friday afternoon. One thing that continues to be great about this event: how it exposes me to multiple non-U.S. perspectives on wireless-service situations we have here.
3/6/2024: Biden’s Broadband Chief Sounds Alarm on Expiring Affordable-Internet Subsidy, PCMag
This post was going to recap a few different panels at ACA Connects Summit, hosted by a D.C. trade group for smaller Internet providers, and then a publicist for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration asked if I’d like to sit down with NTIA administrator Alan Davidson for a quick conversation after his panel.
3/9/2024: 5G Home Internet Soars in 2023, As Cable and Phone-Based Broadband Slump, PCMag
I wrote up the latest subscriber stats gathered by Leichtman Research Group, showing the continued conquests of fixed-wireless services. Contrary to a prediction I’d offered in a post about a previous LRG broadband update, T-Mobile did not end 2023 as the fifth-biggest ISP because the privately-held cable provider Cox still has a few more hundred thousand subscribers, in LRG’s estimate.
3/9/2024: Actors Union Rep Warns Game Studios Over AI: Odds of Strike Are 50-50, PCMag
I put this panel–featuring my fellow Georgetown grad Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, now SAG-AFTRA’s chief negotiator–on my SXSW schedule early on because of its intersection of technology, policy and culture.
3/10/2024: Printer Bashing and Staplers: ‘Office Space’ Cast Files a TPS Report at SXSW, PCMag
I quote from Office Space almost as often as any other movie I’ve seen–and that includes the original Star Wars trilogy and Dr. Strangelove–so there was no way I wasn’t going to see this panel. Even if I then had to watch it on SXSW’s YouTube stream because the room in the Austin Convention Center hit capacity while I was still on line to get in.
3/10/2024: Cybersecurity as a Cornerstone of Brand Trust, Grit Daily House
I moderated this panel–featuring Zach Eikenberry, CEO of Hook Security, Jess Garza, owner of Texas Performance Pyschology, and Andy Bennett, CTO, Apollo Information Systems–at an offsite venue for my fellow conference person Jordan French’s startup-industry publication.

After clocking 17 days in a row of work–thanks to the run-up to CES, CES itself, and then needing to catch up on projects set aside during that week in Vegas–I ditched professional obligations Monday to go skiing. And then I answered some business e-mails from the chairlift anyway.
1/23/2024: T-Mobile Plans to Deprioritize ‘Heavy Data’ Users of Its Home 5G, PCMag
Once again, Reddit enlightened me about a plot twist at a company I cover–this time, in the form of a post on r/tmobile pointing to a report of T-Mobile stepping slightly away from offering unlimited data on its fixed-wireless service. I e-mailed the company for comment Monday night, got a reply hours later and wrote this post Tuesday morning.
1/24/2024: Connected-car ambitions risk collision with regulators’ concerns, Light Reading
This post closed out my CES 2024 coverage, and I had planned to write it sooner. But after a few days of being in the weeds with other deadlines, I realized that the Washington Auto Show’s public-policy day would probably yield useful quotes from policymakers about the privacy implications of the connected-car tech that I’d seen hyped at CES. Fortunately, my editor agreed with my suggestion that I hold off on filing this post so I could fold in that later reporting.
