TravelPass from Verizon lessens the cost of using your phone abroad

Traveling aboard is nice because you can see, taste, and smell the world. What’s not so nice is having your phone be restricted overseas. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint are all among the carriers that promote special services to allow their customers the luxury of using their phones seemingly from country-to-country. Verizon, until now, has been pretty quiet to jump on the international hype. Today’s announcement of TravelPass changes things as Verizon customers can travel to select countries and use their phones for a decent price.

For just $2 per line daily, Verizon customers can travel to Canada and Mexico on their existing talk, text, and data plan. The carrier is also supporting travel to an additional sixty-five countries for a bit more money. Big Red isn’t issuing data roaming charges nor are they requiring the use of a mobile hotspot. Everything operates as it would in the United States.

These are the other areas supported by Verizon’s $10 per line daily fee:

• Caribbean and Central and South America: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominica, French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Eustatius & Saba, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Maartin/Saint Martin, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos.
• Europe and Middle East: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Mann, Israel, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madeira and Azores, Netherlands, Norway, Palestinian Territories, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Vatican City.
• Asia Pacific: Australia, Singapore, Taiwan.

Verizon customers have to go to the MyVerizon online or on the app and select “manage international services” to activate TravelPass.

We pushed the in-flight WiFi of the future to its limit

It shouldn’t have worked, but I streamed an episode of Last Week Tonight, a Twitch broadcast of Fallout 4, the premiere episode of Aziz Ansari’s Master of None and Meow the Jewels all at once, all on airplane WiFi. In-flight WiFi giant Gogo demoed its next-gen version of mile-high connectivity, 2Ku, above the overcast November skies of Gary, Indiana, bragging 98 percent coverage around the world (the poles don’t play nicely with airborne internet) at peak speeds of 70 Mbps. The reality is transfers much slower than that on a plane with roughly 25 journalists, business folks and Gogo staff all doing the same as me: trying to break the internet for about an hour.

A closer look at NVIDIA’s vision for AI ubiquity

Building new hardware has become increasingly easier thanks to the rise of 3D printing and the quick prototyping that’s now possible thanks to devices like the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and LittleBits. With Nvidia dropping the Jetson TX1’s machine-learning firepower into the mix, small companies and makers will be able to quickly put together smarter devices that have some of the same abilities that are creeping into our cars.

‘We take your security seriously’

Anyone who has even the slightest amount of contact with the internet is familiar with the scenario: An email or actual piece of mail arrives from a company who apparently handles some part of your connected life. The letter calmly identifies its author as a company you do business with, either by choice or by default. It blandly informs you that there has been a security incident in as little detail as possible. You have already heard about it on the news. It was probably a month ago and in more detail than in the letter currently staring back at you. Then the company’s mass-missive assures you, “We take your security seriously.”

Hulu reportedly wants to sell part of itself to Time Warner

Time Warner might soon be joining NBCUniversal (Comcast), Fox and Disney as a co-owner of Hulu, the Wall Street Journal reports. The streaming site is said to be in discussions to sell Time Warner a stake of itself, a deal that would value it upwards of $5 billion. While talks aren’t final yet, sources say the deal would likely involve Hulu’s existing co-owners reducing their stakes in the site for an equal 25 percent split, down from 33 percent each. Having another media parent could give Hulu the muscle to better compete with Netflix. If it goes through, Time Warner will invest cash and give Hulu access to more of its content library. The news isn’t too surprising — we’ve been hearing since 2013 that Time Warner was interested in Hulu. And it simply makes sense, given that it has the backing of America’s other cable giants.
