Microsoft plans to launch its Xbox TV app on Amazon's Fire TV Sticks in July

I wonder if my Xbox controller will pair with my stick? Interesting timing now that I have fiber. Microsoft showing it's the service, not the hardware that's important.

South Korean company ... malware ...

IN THE PAST, the judiciary agreed Grid needed to communicate clearly to customers.
That's simply requiring Truth in Advertising: if Grid's "cloud" is on users' hardware, WebHard should make that abundantly clear upfront.

Use of malware brings investigation and arrests.

T-Mobile users unhappy

as a friend of mine from 50 years ago always liked to say, "lie with dogs, wake with fleas".

And so it goes with T-Mobile.

And it looks like the cute puppy grew up to be a mean pitbull. They are the new AT&T. Their technical service is superb, but their retail customer business is a train wreck.

So figure out how to get their technical service without actually paying T-Mobile retail and without giving them fodder to claim subscriber growth or retention. Go with an MVNO.

At one time, one would stay away from the likes of US Mobile or Tello or Google Fi, using the excuse of "you don't get any decent customer service from them". Now that excuse has gone away. Now all you get from TMobile is the traditional "we will give you a phone if you stay on our current service offerings at a high enough monthly level, and we'll give you Netflix with ads". You might as well go with one of the MVNOs that meets your technical and financial requirements.

Shoot, even Consumer Cellular has great support, even in person.
