AT&T acquires $23 billion worth of spectrum licenses from EchoStar

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-02 15:45:49

AT&T is set to acquire $23 billion worth of spectrum licenses from EchoStar, the parent company of Dish Network, Sling TV and Boost Mobile. The deal will see AT&T gain control of approximately 50MHz of low-band and mid-band spectrum, which are frequencies commonly used in 5G and LTE networks. EchoStar had been under pressure from the FCC to build out the spectrum in its portfolio or consider divesting it . The FCC's regulations take a 'use it or lose it ' approach to ensure that the spectrum li

New Paper Finds Cases of "AI Psychosis" Manifesting Differently From Schizophrenia

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-02 20:04:05

Researchers at King's College London have examined over a dozen cases of people spiraling into paranoid and delusional behavior after obsessively using a chatbot. Their findings, as detailed in a new study awaiting peer review, reveal striking patterns between these instances of so-called "AI psychosis" that parallel other forms of mental health crises — but also identified at least one key difference that sets them apart from the accepted understanding of psychosis.

AT&T is spending $23 billion on new spectrum, but what will it do with it?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-02 20:51:15

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR AT&T will pay roughly $23B to acquire 30 MHz of 3.45 GHz (mid-band) and 20 MHz of 600 MHz (low-band) spectrum from EchoStar/Dish, and the companies say they’ll deepen Boost’s wholesale access agreement with AT&T’s network. Details on the enhanced MVNO deal are vague, but it likely means Boost will lean more on AT&T coverage; priority/QoS improvements are possible but unconfirmed.

But while the stats may favor this, not everyone is convinced that beta 8 is ready to be unleashed. Given that there’s now very little time left before the iPhone 17 launch, is iOS 26 good enough … ?

Skylight’s TikTok alternative adds community curators to the mix

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-11-02 20:21:22

A startup called Skylight is taking a different approach to short-form video. Instead of restricting users to an algorithmic main feed, as is common on social apps, Skylight is building a community around human curators who post and repost videos to build out their own custom feeds others can subscribe to. The option, which launched on Monday in the version 2.0 release of the app, could appeal to users who feel a growing sense of unease about traditional social media platforms and their algorit

EchoStar stock skyrockets 75% on AT&T deal to buy wireless spectrum for $23 billion

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-11-03 00:35:03

EchoStar said in a regulatory filing that the transaction is part of the company's "ongoing efforts to resolve the Federal Communications Commission's inquiries."

OpenAI Warns Against Investing in Its Stock

OpenAI isn't a publicly-traded company — yet, at least — and as such, the company's express written consent is necessary for the sale or transfer of its equity. But that massive caveat has not, apparently, stopped sleazy operators from trying to rip would-be investors off with shady promises of buying into the red-hot artificial intelligence giant. In a new blog post, OpenAI warned that there are bad actors out there attempting to make "unauthorized opportunities to gain access" to the company

How these two brothers became go-to experts on America’s “mystery drone” invasion

By late January, the incoming Trump administration would assert that the entirety of the New Jersey drone wave had been benign, with each and every UAS “authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.” Their surety, however, stood in stark contrast to the warnings from top military brass, including the Air Force general at the head of NORAD, Gregory Guillot.

Creators have not been offered any notification or given any option to disable upscaling. The team has clarified that it is using “traditional machine learning” to denoise and unblur videos.
