Today's Story Highlights

Study: Community-Owned Broadband Beats Commercial ISPs on Price

Community-owned fiber-to-home broadband networks generally charge less
for entry-level service than private providers, according to Harvard's
Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Despite lower "teaser
rates" private providers offer during the first year of service,
publicly-owned fiber-to-the-home networks in 23 of 27 communities
examined offered lower-priced service.

Top 5 Data-Driven Mobile Services for a Competitive Edge

The mobile data market has been approaching saturation in major
industrialized nations. Mobile data consumption has increased steadily
over the past several years, but consumers have found new ways to avoid
paying extra for services they don't need or use -- and intense
competition among mobile carriers has allowed consumers to switch from
fixed-data to unlimited plans and pay less in the process.

Namogoo CEO Chemi Katz: Malware Can Ruin the Customer Journey

When all goes well, the customer journey "ends with buying a product,"
said Chemi Katz, CEO of Namogoo. "Hijacking interferes with the
customer's journey. It can be a pop-up that the company didn't put
there, or something that will lead a customer out of the website. It's
any interference that doesn't come from the e-commerce business itself,
but from a third party."

Cloud Training to Boost Competitive Advantage Strategies

One of the biggest challenges facing organizations of all sizes trying
to move to the cloud is finding and retaining the skilled workers
necessary to implement today's rapidly expanding assortment of on-demand
services. This skills gap cost companies more than $250 million in lost
business opportunities in just one year, according to a recent survey
conducted by the London School of Economics.

Winning Tactics for Marketing in the Micro-Moment

Google believes that all the important consumer buying decisions happen
in a brief flash of time. Understanding and responding to customer needs
in those all-important, tiny moments is key to successful marketing, the
company says. Specifically, they are the exact moments when people turn
to a device because they want one or more of four things: to know, do,
go or buy. Google has built a new marketing model around "micro-
moments."

The Platform Wars of 2018

The new battleground in enterprise software is likely to be the software
platform. This is not to say that analytics and security are not
important, but they are being handled in different ways. Security is
being handled in ways that address both hardware and software
vulnerabilities, but these things aren't what customers or consumers
spend their days thinking about.

The Morning After: Find your fine art doppelgänger

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Tuesday, January 16, 2018.

Hey, good morning!

Good Tuesday morning to you. The net neutrality battle ain’t over, and Google’s latest machine learning toy matches your latest selfie with famous works of art. Get. Ready. To. Be. Offended.

There’s still an uphill battle.

Democrats are just one vote shy of restoring net neutrality

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer now says Democrats in the Senate are a single vote away from restoring net neutrality. According to the senator from New York, they now have a total of 50 votes for a Senate resolution of disapproval that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 and deliver a stiff rebuke to Ajit Pai and other Republican members of the FCC.

For best results, grow a beard.

Google's museum app finds your fine-art doppelgänger

If you've ever wondered if there's a museum portrait somewhere that looks like you, and you're ready to have your ego crushed, there's now an app for that. Google Arts & Culture's latest update now lets you take a selfie, and using image recognition, finds someone in its vast art collection that most resembles you. Let’s try!

Facebook notified police of the illegal clip.

Danish police charge 1,004 people following Facebook sex video

Facebook is no stranger to notifying police when there's clear evidence of a crime, but its latest action has had consequences on a much larger scale than usual. Danish police have charged 1,004 young people (some under 18) after Facebook notified authorities that Messenger users were sharing a video of two teens under 15 years old having sex, violating laws against the distribution of indecent images of children. Many of those who shared the video did so 'just' a few times, police said, but others shared it hundreds of times -- they knew what they were doing, even if they didn't realize it was illegal.

But wait, there's more...

1. The totally normal, completely unsurprising lack of women at CES

2. Contraceptive app under fire for causing unwanted pregnancies

3. HTC U11 Eyes' dual cameras bring bokeh to your selfies

4. Nanoleaf wants you to control your smart home with a dodecahedron

Editor's Pick: CES 2018: Spare Human Bodies, a $54K HTC Simulator and Intel's People-Chopping Cuisinart

CES 2018: Spare Human Bodies, a $54K HTC Simulator and Intel's People-Chopping Cuisinart

Rob Enderle Jan 15, 2018 10:57 AM PT
	OK, I hate CES. It really is a horrible event, largely because of the timing -- and particularly this year, Las Vegas making it a nightmare to get around -- but man did they have cool stuff at the show. Among presentation highlights were Nvidia showcasing a whopping 65-inch gaming monitor TV. Lowlights included Intel showcasing a human-carrying drone as something out of a horror movie. [More...]

FOSS Community Struggles to Patch Against Spectre, Meltdown Flaws
Many in the open source community worked feverishly this week to respond to heightened fears that software updates to fix the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities would put millions of computers at risk of slowdowns or even total disability. Updated kernels were released for mitigation of Meltdown variant 3, or CVE-2017-5754, for X86-64 architecture, said Canonical VP Dean Henrichsmeyer. [More...]

Zero discovered in 2016.
