No Jitter: No more News just in on the grapevine: @nojitter will close shortly. The #enterprise technology publication has provided daily commentary, news, expert analysis and practical guidance for IT and communications professionals around the world since 2008, becoming part of @InformaTTGT in December 2024. "...It's departure marks the end of an era for daily deep-dives into enterprise collaboration. However, the broader coverage of the B2B tech sector remains active through related entities under the parent company." While No Jitter may soon be no more, will a new publication take its place? Watch this space and we’ll let you know.

A new Viasat study shows strong consumer demand for satellite-connected cars, with 75% of drivers willing to pay for satellite-based connectivity. Safety leads the demand, as 43% rank emergency calling as their top satellite-enabled service, while drivers also want real-time hazard alerts and disaster-related traffic updates. As cellular coverage gaps persist, satellite connectivity could become a valuable next step for connected-car services and safety.

As telecom operators race to deploy AI, they also inherit the reputational and operational risks that come with the technology. Every AI misstep—from inaccurate outputs to security failures and ethical lapses—can damage customer trust and invite greater regulatory scrutiny. Companies that invest in strong governance, transparency, and human oversight will put themselves in a stronger position to capture AI's benefits while reducing risk. The article explores why responsible AI has become a business imperative for the telecom industry.

U.S. startups are racing to prove that American AI can remain both competitive and strategically independent. Companies like Arcee AI are demonstrating that frontier-quality models can be built faster and with far less capital, while emphasizing transparency, security, and domestic control as key differentiators. The bigger question isn't just who builds the most powerful AI—it's who can deliver the best combination of cost, openness, trust, and adoption in the next phase of the global AI race.

Open-weight AI models are gaining traction as enterprises and telecom providers seek lower costs, greater data control, and reduced dependence on proprietary AI vendors. Industry leaders expect organizations to adopt a hybrid approach, using open models for sensitive workloads while relying on frontier AI services for broader applications. However, growing geopolitical uncertainty around Chinese-developed models means businesses must balance cost savings and flexibility against potential regulatory and supply chain risks.

AT&T is putting quantum computing to work on real-world network challenges, with an early application reportedly reducing network optimization processing time from about an hour to less than 15 seconds. The move signals a shift from quantum experimentation toward practical telecom applications, as more operators explore how the technology could complement AI and transform network operations. What other quantum use cases could be next for telecom? Read the full article on @FierceNetwork_ now: fierce-network.com/cloud/att… #QuantumComputing #Telecom #NetworkInnovation

Researchers and robotics companies are exploring brain-wave data as a new input for #PhysicalAI, potentially giving models a richer understanding of human intent and interaction. Combining neural signals with visual and behavioral data could open new possibilities for how robots learn and respond to people. The goal is to capture real-time decision making and how factors like "error, intent, and surprise" can help train and scale the models.
