Wi-Fi Experts Reveal How Trump’s Budget Bill Could Slow Down Your Wi-Fi

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-20 10:05:00

You won’t find the term “Wi-Fi” anywhere in the text of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, but a provision authorizing the FCC to auction off spectrum could seriously impact speeds on newer Wi-Fi routers. Every wireless device, from garage door openers to baby monitors, relies on the electromagnetic spectrum to work. But that spectrum is a limited resource -- to open up capacity for one technology, you have to take it away from another. The latest generation of Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi

Trump’s DOJ seems annoyed about having to approve T-Mobile’s latest merger

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-30 11:52:23

The Department of Justice Antitrust Division issued an unusual statement yesterday about its decision to let T-Mobile complete an acquisition of US Cellular's wireless operations. Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, a Trump nominee who was confirmed by the Senate in March, said in a 900-word statement that the deal and two related transactions "will consolidate yet more spectrum in the Big 3's oligopoly, which controls more than 80 percent of t

Wi-Fi in the US Could Get Worse Under Trump's New Law

wired.com Jon Brodkin 2025-08-06 03:00:00

The Federal Communications Commission has regained its authority to hold spectrum auctions and could use that power to take spectrum away from Wi-Fi networks and license it to mobile carriers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. As we previously wrote, the Senate budget bill pitched by Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for at least 800 MHz to be auctioned and allowed part of it to be taken from the 6 GHz band that's being used to boost speeds in the new generation of Wi-Fi networks.

Restoring a ZX Spectrum+ Toastrack

Restoring a ZX Spectrum+ Toastrack I talk a lot about Commodore machines in this blog; they left a bigger dent in me growing up, but like most kids of my generation living in Portugal in the 80s, the first computers I played with were actually Sinclairs—first my friend’s ZX81 and then a ZX Spectrum 48K that my parents offered me. I have many memories of playing games like the Horace series, Manic Miner, Jetpac, or Chuckie Egg on my Spectrum. I’ve been keeping a few Timexes and Spectrums that h

Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-19 19:37:32

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a plan for spectrum auctions that could take frequencies away from Wi-Fi and reallocate them for the exclusive use of wireless carriers. The plan would benefit AT&T, which is based in Cruz's home state, along with Verizon and T-Mobile. Cruz's proposal revives a years-old controversy over whether the entire 6 GHz band should be devoted to Wi-Fi, which can use the large spectrum band for faster speeds than networks that rely solely on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ could mean slower Wi-Fi for you

theverge.com Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 2025-08-21 19:28:12

The Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill, backed by President Donald Trump, removes protections for unlicensed spectrum that broadens the capacity of the 6GHz Wi-Fi band. This could result in slower Wi-Fi speeds. Under the bill, which may be voted on at the end of this week, the FCC would sell off some of that spectrum to mobile carriers such as AT&T, which could use it to improve the speed of their mobile data. The bill includes a provision requiring the FCC to auction 800MHz of sp

Preparation of a neutral nitrogen allotrope hexanitrogen C2h-N6

news.ycombinator.com Qian 2025-09-05 21:36:56

As AgN 3 is an excellent reagent for the synthesis of polyazides35 and halogen azides both in the gas phase36 and in solution37,38, we suggest that the reaction of AgN 3 with XN 3 (X = halogen) is a viable route to N 6 (Fig. 1b). The reactions were conducted in either a quartz tube or a U-trap by flowing gaseous Cl 2 through solid AgN 3 under reduced pressure at room temperature (see the ‘Synthesis details’ section in Methods and Supplementary Fig. 1).
