In the worst-kept secret in Austin history, Google announced in conjunction with the city that it would be the second location to get Google’s Fiber offering. Just a few hours after that announcement, AT&T made its own plans known for Austin, and it includes (surprise) 1 Gigabit Fiber, as well. This ties to its previous announcement of the VIP expansion project for broadband access. The “advanced fiber optic infrastructure” will be given the same treatment that Google has gotten, which we’re told is just access to build out and work with the city, meaning no financi...

AT&T’s Screen Pack is not going to kill Netflix. It’s not going to compete with Netflix. It’s not going to take on Netflix.

When Siri arrived on the iPhone 4S it seemed like a magic piece of software. The future had arrived. But it wasn't alone.
