Paramount Pictures will put "Clifford the Big Red Dog" on Paramount+ and in theaters starting Nov. 10, after postponing its original Sept. 17 release date.

The CEOs of Charter Communications and Comcast revealed that the providers are working together on offloading mobile network traffic in busy areas to Citizens Broadband Radio Service frequencies.

States and tribal governments should give priority to projects that offer symmetrical 100-megabit=per-second service -- or at least 100 Mbps download speeds -- in awarding $10 billion in grants from the American Rescue Plan Act, the Treasury Department said. The agency also recommended states give priority to last-mile and fiber-optic projects.

Charter Communications is looking forward to a more active consumer environment because higher levels of churn will provide greater opportunities for the cable company to add customers, said Tom Rutledge, Charter's CEO. "We do well with prospects looking to change their services," he added when speaking to an investor conference.

An analysis of 2020 census data found that rural counties offering widespread broadband access had more population growth than those where it was scarce.

Several national cybersecurity officials recommended to a Senate subcommittee that critical infrastructure owners and operators, federal contractors and agencies face fines, rather than subpoenas, in failing to report cyberattacks.

Attendance rates for addiction recovery meetings soared under a telehealth program begun during the pandemic at a University of Alabama-Birmingham's program, said UAB Medicine's Bronwyn McInturff. Staff provide coaching to patients who are unfamiliar with videoconferencing technology and personalize virtual care by using visual aids or breaking into smaller groups, McInturff says.

WISPA is asking governors to argue for a "technology-neutral" solution to the broadband divide, rather than focusing on wired networks, when distributing American Rescue Plan Act subsidy funding. President Claude Aiken urged state leaders "to fairly and equally consider the ARPA applications of all viable technologies, whether fixed wireless, fiber, or cable" and argued that they have the flexibility to do so despite interim guidance from the Treasury Department emphasizing wired access.
