The good news first: NBCOlympics.com will live stream every single event (they'll even be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/08/nbc-youtube-olympics/">on YouTube</a>, and in the UK the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/the-bbcs-coverage-promises-to-make-you-sick-of-the-olympics-by/">BBC has its own plans</a>) for the first time ever including streams of each of its channels, encompassing 3,500 total hours and the awarding of all 302 medals. The bad news is that if you're not a cable subscriber, many of those hours will not be available to you, and even if you are, you're looking at a (likely convoluted) authentication sign-in process. That's a little bit of pain, sure, but it should mean what we've been asking for -- the ability to watch all Olympics events as they happen, not tape delayed for prime time after viewing grainy bootleg streams over the internet. Also new for the internet are multiple streams for the same event, so for example, viewers can select a particular gymnastics apparatus or track and field event at will.</p><p> On mobile devices, NBC also has plans for two different apps on phones and tablets, with one that brings live video streams and another with highlight clips. It didn't specify what platforms they would be available for, but we'd assume the usual suspects (iOS, Android) will be first up. On pay-TV cable, satellite and telco providers it's also providing dedicated channels for basketball and soccer, although it's up to your provider to pick them up. The same goes for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/03/2012-london-olympics-to-feature-3d-broadcasts-from-10-venues/">242 planned hours</a> of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/come-on-down-for-panasonics-ces-2012-liveblog/">3D coverage it's producing in partnership with Panasonic</a>, which will unfortunately air on 24 hour tape delay, just like the HD broadcast was back in 2004 (we've got chips.... and salsa!). For the full breakdown of all 5,535 hours of coverage across NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, Telemundo and everything else check out the press release after the break, plus an Olympics preview trailer. While there are some limits for cord cutters, sports fans with pay-TV should be ready to experience the best Olympics coverage ever with the ability to watch what we want, instead just what's on the TV schedule.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/27/nbc-london-olympics-2012-streaming-tv-3d/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>NBC lays out 2012 London Olympics broadcast plan on TV, internet, apps and in 3D (video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/27/nbc-london-olympics-2012-streaming-tv-3d/">NBC lays out 2012 London Olympics broadcast plan on TV, internet, apps and in 3D (video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 27 May 2012 14:58:00 EST.

Unlike its iOS counterpart however, on Android there's a separate Xfinity TV Player (simply labeled "Player" in the launcher) app from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/21/comcast-xfinity-tv-app-update-android-ice-cream-sandwich-download/">Xfinity TV remote control app</a>. It's a free download from Google Play for devices running Android 2.3 or higher and when we checked it out just now it was smooth but plain looking, although it a native tablet interface at launch is a nice touch. Beyond the usual VOD selections (including HBO Go and more) there's also support for Comcast's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/21/comcast-reveals-xfinity-streampix-streaming-video-service-chall/">Streampix</a> subscription service within the app as it promised back in February. One odd quirk noted by <i>Android Police</i> is that on rooted devices the app apparently requests root permissions, but still works if they are denied (could be <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/17/twc-tv-android-app-finally-updated-with-live-tv-streaming/">worse</a>). There aren't many other details available yet, if you want to try it out grab your Comcast account info and hit the source link to give it a shot.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/comcast-xfinity-tv-player-vod-android/">Comcast Xfinity TV Player app brings VOD streaming to Android devices</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 25 May 2012 14:41:00 EST.

The news <strike>was announced in a tweet</strike> from Head of Corporate Communications Steve Wymer, and as <i>Gizmo Lovers</i> notes, was likely held back as Comcast announced its own X1 platform would launch soon in Boston as well. We're now more than a year past the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/comcast-will-open-up-its-video-on-demand-to-tivo-premiere-dvrs-a/">original announcement</a>, hopefully this is just the start of the rollout as it picks up the pace, if the two companies work well together maybe Comcast could be on the list for that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/tivo-shows-off-pace-built-xg1-six-tuner-gateway-dvr-it-plans-to/">six-tuner Pace box</a> at some point.</p><p> <strong>Update</strong>: And just like that.. it was not announced. Steve has indicated he was actually RTing someone else, and no date has been confirmed for the rollout of Comcast VOD on Beantown TiVos.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/comcast-video-on-demand-comes-to-boston-area-tivo-premieres-mond/">Comcast video on-demand comes to Boston area TiVo Premieres Monday</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 25 May 2012 07:04:00 EST.

At this year's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Cable+Show/">Cable Show</a>, he said that he supported the sort of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/13/atandt-will-cap-dsl-u-verse-internet-and-impose-overage-fees/">usage caps</a> that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/17/comcast-rethinks-bandwidth-caps-trials-two-new-policies-that-in/">Comcast</a> adopted last week and hoped that such plans would reduce costs for those who use less internet. Comcast's new pricing structure offers a 300GB monthly cap, after which point it'll charge users $10 for every extra 50GB used. We're not sure how this'll play out, but we suspect anyone with a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/netflix-web-player-updated/">Netflix</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/22/hulu-summer-series-ios-app-update/">Hulu</a> addiction might feel less than pleased this morning.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/julius-genachowski-capped-broadband/">Julius Genachowski voices support for capped, tiered broadband</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 24 May 2012 05:21:00 EST.

The end goal is to bring the perks you enjoy with your smartphone to your landline. It all starts with an app that's available on iOS and Android (in both phone and tablet-friendly formats) that functions similarly to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/googlevoice">Google Voice</a>. The Xfinity Connect Mobile app allows you to send and receive texts on your mobile device through your home phone number and forward incoming calls to multiple devices, including your cellphone, so you'll never miss a call again. What's more, your Xfinity account can be used to place VoIP calls from any connected device over WiFi, 3G or 4G.

Even Verizon's own <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/FiOS/">FiOS</a> video will be late to its own party, coming "soon." Viewdini will only be available for 4G LTE-equipped Android phones and tablets later this month, with "other operating systems" and services due in the future -- given the currently very short list of non-Android 4G devices, we have <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/16/apple-ipad-review-2012/">a few ideas</a> as to where the app might go next.

As seen above, it attempts to provide a single cross-platform home screen that combines info from its services and third party sources to give customers a quick look at what's important to them, on any screen. Potential sources include Comcast services (DVR schedule from your cable box, voicemails from the home phone, email, or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/xfinity-home-security-makes-home-monitoring-and-management-comca/">home security / automation updates</a> when you're away) as well as third party information like your current calendar software, social media and local news. While ambitious, it does reflect a futuristic ability to bring its users relevant information (based on the time of day, it could pull the traffic report before you leave for work or TV listings in the evening, for example) automatically. How well it all works remains to be seen once this is integrated with the new DVR software and apps later this year, but you can get an idea of what Comcast has up its sleeve for your four screens from the pictures in the gallery below.</p><p> <strong>Update</strong>: Check out a video of CEO Neil Smit demonstrating Project Dayview on the show floor embedded after the break. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/">Comcast Project Dayview UI</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037075"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-agendagall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037076"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-home-screengall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037077"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-securitygall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037078"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-trafficgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-project-dayview-ui/#5037079"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/project-dayview-weathergall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-project-dayview-agenda-pda-four-screen/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Comcast's 'Project Dayview' does PDA duty across TV, phone, PC and tablet (update: video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-project-dayview-agenda-pda-four-screen/">Comcast's 'Project Dayview' does PDA duty across TV, phone, PC and tablet (update: video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 21 May 2012 14:19:00 EST.

The announcement was made at the Cable Show in Boston, and that's where it will be available first, some time in "the coming weeks" with a few other major markets following soon after. We've had a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/comcast-cable-show-2011-demo-features-1gbps-cable-modem/">few peeks at the new UI over the last year or so</a> but now we have a full gallery of shots of both the DVR software and accompanying X1 remote app that will be available first on the iPhone. The new guide looks very similar to the existing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/11/comcast-xfinity-tv-app-updated-for-honeycomb-android-tablets-gi/">Xfinity TV remote apps</a> for phones and tablets, formatted for HD screens and with support for recommendations from your social network and support for apps like weather, TV, traffic, Facebook and Pandora to start. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/comcasts-next-generation-xfinity-spectrum-dvr-shows-off-quad-tu/">new set-top boxes</a> it runs on have built-in tru2way and internet support, as well as RF remotes instead of IR.</p><p> Meanwhile, the X1 remote control app adds motion and gesture control to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/10/comcast-xfinity-tv-ios-app-adds-integrated-dvr-manager-so-you-do/">current set of features</a>, as well as more direct interaction with what's on screen, since it can be used to swipe through pages, type into menus and pause currently video with a shake. As far as pricing, Comcast says it will be available to new Triple Play customers with HD/DVR service at no additional cost -- no word yet on what that means for everyone else. Check the gallery below for a look at the new software, and check the press release after the break for more info.</p><p> <strong>Update</strong>: Check out a video of CEO Neil Smit demonstrating the new UI on the show floor after the break.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/">Comcast X1 DVR and iPhone remote app</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036816"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-apptrafficgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036818"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-main-menudvrgall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036819"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-mainmenuguidegall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036820"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-app-pandora-1gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/comcast-x1-dvr-and-iphone-remote-app/#5036821"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/05/x1-app-sports-1gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-x1-dvr-iphone-app-launch/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Comcast officially launches next-gen X1 DVR platform and iPhone remote app (update: video)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/comcast-x1-dvr-iphone-app-launch/">Comcast officially launches next-gen X1 DVR platform and iPhone remote app (update: video)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 21 May 2012 10:37:00 EST.

In a company blog post, VP Cathy Avgiris describes the new "flexible" approaches it will be testing out in certain markets that start off by raising the limit to 300GB (from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/comcast-set-to-begin-bandwidth-capping-come-october-1st/">250GB where it's been since 2008</a>) per month. One of the plans involves offering 300GB as a base on its Essentials, Economy, and Performance internet packages, and higher limits on its <span>Blast and Extreme tiers, with extra data available as an add-on, possibly $10 for 50GB or so. The other plan simply bumps all tiers to 300GB per month and offers the additional blocks of data as needed. For markets where it's not testing the new plans, it's suspending enforcement of the 250GB cap entirely for now, although it says it will still contact "excessive" users about their usage.</span></p><p> We're currently on a conference call concerning the changes and Comcast is reaffirming its belief that the FCC has decided it can "manage" data usage on its network, and that it will continue to do so in a "non-discriminatory" way. Particularly since the launch of its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/comcast-xbox-360-video-app/">Xfinity TV Xbox 360 app </a>others like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/16/reed-hastings-takes-comcast-to-task-for-skirting-net-neutrality/">Netflix</a> and some consumer and networking watchdogs would beg to differ, it will be interesting to see if these approaches change anything. Executives on the call noted "noise" around the Xbox 360 app in making the change, but also pointed to an "ongoing internal discussion" and simply that times have changed from four years ago. The words that keep coming up so far are choice and flexibility, as well as mentioning that even today, very few customers approach the previous 250GB limit.

As seen on the new activation pages for Samsung Smart TVs and Blu-ray players, Xbox 360s and Roku boxes, TWC and Bright House Networks are now among the available options (sorry, still no word on ESPN3 for the Xbox 360). The only bad news? DirecTV and Comcast have not (yet) followed suit, so for those customers <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hbogo">HBO Go</a> streaming on the TV is still a hit-or-miss affair. We're not sure what is behind the change of heart or policy, but while Comcast reportedly had authentication issues to resolve before switching on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/comcast-access-to-the-hbo-go-app-on-xbox-360-is-live/">Xbox 360's HBO access</a>, it's worth noting that Time Warner Cable could have its app coming to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/11/samsung-smarttv-comcast-timewarner-fios-directv/">some</a> or all of these platforms <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/27/time-warner-cable-twc-tv-roku/">very soon</a>.

Comcast's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/04/comcast-smears-the-xfinity-brand-across-all-its-services/">re-branded  cable arm</a> is touting a new trick beginning today, with customers in Boston and Seattle among the first to have access to the new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/14/comcast-invites-skype-into-its-cable-boxes-mobile-apps/">Skype on Xfinity videoconferencing service</a> (Atlanta, Augusta, Ga., Chicago, Detroit, Harrisburg, Pa., Indianapolis, Miami and Pittsburgh will be online by the end of the week). Interested parties can add a $9.95 monthly fee to their Triple Play service to take advantage, enabling "free" (read: $10-per-month) instant messaging and video chatting services. That monthly fee will presumably cover the requisite <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/07/comcast-xfinity-skype-webcam-for-cable-boxes-revealed-by-fcc/">all-in-one kit</a>, which includes an adaptor, a "high-quality" camera and a spiffy new Skype-enabled remote control with an IM-friendly keyboard on the rear. Naturally, your bud on the other end doesn't need any special equipment, unless of course they plan to chat through their HDMI-capable Comcast box as well. Eligible customers can hit up the source link past the break to sign up, and breeze through the attached PR for a bit more detail.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/comcast-skype-on-xfinity/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Comcast switches on Skype on Xfinity in Boston and Seattle today, eight more metros this week</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/comcast-skype-on-xfinity/">Comcast switches on Skype on Xfinity in Boston and Seattle today, eight more metros this week</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 16 May 2012 14:01:00 EST.

We'd previously heard the argument that the Xfinity app's traffic is simply being routed through Comcast's internal network and isn't the same as the Internet data of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Netflix/">Netflix</a>, but Werner now contends that the <span>Differentiated Services Code Point<span> (DSCP) tags that some think are breaking <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/24/fcc-releases-full-net-neutrality-rules/">FCC rules</a> by favoring Xfinity video are really just necessary switches.  They're not prioritizing traffic, they're setting it aside, the claim goes.  Of course, Hastings and others believe that setting Xfinity video aside <em>is</em> prioritizing, and Comcast's point of view sidesteps the practical reality that watching Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or iTunes will lead you closer to that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/comcast-set-to-begin-bandwidth-capping-come-october-1st/">ever-present 250GB cap</a> while Xfinity doesn't.  The FCC during its rulemaking warned against special private services being used as end-runs around neutrality concerns; it's up to the agency to decide whether or not that's true here, or whether Comcast is just offering its usual service in a new way.</span></span></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/comcast-fires-back-over-xfinity-tv-on-xbox-360-net-neutrality-concerns/">Comcast fires back over Xfinity TV on Xbox 360, says no way, no how it's violating net neutrality</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 15 May 2012 19:04:00 EST.

The coalition includes T-Mobile and Sprint, along with advocacy groups such as Public Knowledge, the American Antitrust Institute, the Rural Cellular Association and the Rural Telecommunications Group. Today, the newly formed alliance held a press conference in which it called on the FCC and Department of Justice to block the transfer, which it said would lead to an "excessive concentration of spectrum" held by Verizon Wireless. While it's not much of an olive branch, the group similarly suggested that it would support the deal if Verizon were to divest some of its spectrum holdings, establish roaming agreements and agree to a backhaul pricing structure. As you may recall, Verizon Wireless estimates that it'll <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/ctia-2012-keynote-jim-cramer-ceos/">exhaust its network capacity</a> by 2014.

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/watchespn-app-is-now-on-android-go-anywhere-live-tv-streams-sti/">Android app that launched a year ago</a> is, for the moment, not supported, although access there is promised "in the coming months." As we heard in January this just the beginning, as similar Watch services will be rolling out for Disney Channel, DisneyXD and Disney Junior as part of the mouse company's TV+ program. For now those live feeds of ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3.com (Buzzer Beater and Goal Line are available in their respective seasons) will have to do however, as the channels and cable services try to add more features and access to keep subscribers happy, or at least still paying, whether they're at home or away.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/watchespn-comcast/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>WatchESPN finally streams to Comcast customers, but not on Android</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/watchespn-comcast/">WatchESPN finally streams to Comcast customers, but not on Android</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 08 May 2012 23:23:00 EST.

Revenue for the cable company is at $14.9 billion, beating out analyst estimates of $14.4 billion. The company did continue to shed video customers however, dropping around 37,000, although it did experience more customers adding on internet and phone service. The <em>Associated Press</em> chalks the happy results up to Super Bowl advertising and the popularity of the company's broadband offerings.</p><p></p><p></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/02/comcast-earnings-beat-expectations-for-q1/">Comcast earnings beat expectations for Q1</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 02 May 2012 09:12:00 EST.

Specifically referring to the Comcast 250GB limit that has recently <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/16/reed-hastings-takes-comcast-to-task-for-skirting-net-neutrality/">come under fire from Netflix</a> and others now that its Xfinity TV app on Xbox 360 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/comcast-xbox-360-video-app/">skirts the cap entirely</a>, Aragon noted cable companies have the pipe and the bandwidth and can restrict competing services. We've heard Netflix has been trying to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/netflix-cable-bundled-services/">negotiate its own path around such restrictions</a> even as Redbox partners with Verizon on a video service, and rumors have periodically popped up linking Apple, Microsoft and any other tech giant you could name to similar plans. What does all this mean for the future? No one can say for sure yet, but unless some of the key players start to partner up instead of go to war we may need the FCC to step in before anything significant changes.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/sony-iptv-rumor-confirmed-still-on-hold/">Sony exec confirms IPTV aspirations, says they're on hold due to bandwidth caps</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 01 May 2012 21:44:00 EST.

Although the relationship between <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/comcast-sues-sprint/">Comcast and Sprint</a> has been a bit frosty as of late, the cable operator continues to make nice with Verizon after last year's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/02/verizon-scores-new-spectrum-from-comcast-time-warner-and-bright/">spectrum agreement</a>, inking a deal to sell each other's services in six additional markets. This means consumers in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver-Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Salt Lake City can now sign up for Verizon services via Comcast and vice-versa. The cross-selling service was first launched in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle earlier this year. To sweeten the pot, both companies are also including deals such as prepaid Visa cards valued between $50 and $300, a double data offer for Comcast's <em>Xfinity Blast!</em> high-speed internet service and a double data plan for Verizon's 4G LTE service. For now, both companies are likely keeping their fingers crossed as they wait for regulatory approval for the aforementioned spectrum deal. In the meantime, folks looking for more details on this kumbaya moment can peruse the PR after the break.</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/verizon-comcast-launch-cross-sales-in-six-more-markets/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Verizon, Comcast activate Wonder Twin powers in six more markets with cross-sales deal</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/verizon-comcast-launch-cross-sales-in-six-more-markets/">Verizon, Comcast activate Wonder Twin powers in six more markets with cross-sales deal</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 01 May 2012 02:58:00 EST.

The company's CEO, Philipp Humm, recently took <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/t-mobile-wants-fcc-to-block-verizons-spectrum-deals-with-cable/">his concerns</a> to the chief of the FCC's wireless bureau, Rick Kaplan, where he argued that Verizon's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/18/verizon-selling-700mhz-spectrum-but-only-if-government-approves/">proposal to shed</a> Blocks A and B of the 700MHz spectrum simply wouldn't be fair shake. According to Humm, Verizon is merely looking to offload its less desirable assets (as Blocks A and B are more prone to interference). While T-Mobile's leader presents a valid point in that Verizon has merely squatted on its current AWS licenses, we can't help but think that Humm would relish in the opportunity for T-Mobile to bid on these licenses. Further, if Verizon were effectively prevented from establishing a nationwide AWS network, it'd certainly reduce competition in the auction house, and therefore bring cheaper licenses to T-Mobile's doorstep. Given that everything in question here is not corporate property, but rather a public resource, what do <em>you</em> think is the best way forward?</p><p> [<a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-97477481/stock-photo-workers-install-cellular-antenna.html?src=csl_recent_image-2">Tower photo</a> via Shutterstock]</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/23/t-mobile-ceo-argues-against-verizon-aws-acquisition/">T-Mobile CEO argues to FCC against Verizon's AWS license acquisition</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:57:00 EST.

Highlighting one of the arguments for net neutrality, Hastings pointed out that viewing streaming videos using the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/comcast-xbox-360-video-app/">Comcast Xfinity app</a> on his Xbox doesn't count against his monthly cap, but other services do. "If I watch last night's SNL episode on my Xbox through the Hulu app, it eats up about one gigabyte of my cap, but if I watch that same episode through the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/microsoft-comcast-xfinity-tv-news-corporation-partnership-ces-2012/">Xfinity</a> Xbox app, it doesn't use up my cap at all." It's slightly odd that different rules would apply to the same device using the same connection to stream the same content from different sources -- and exactly the sort of preferential and self-promoting behavior that net neutrality advocates are afraid will become the norm in an unregulated market. Of course, Hastings is also irate because his own company would love the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/netflix-cable-bundled-services/">same preferential treatment</a>, but hasn't been able to close any deals.

The blog and product page feature several screenshots flashing the Xfinity VOD icon and showing off the TiVo Premiere UI's universal search pulling from Comcast's library alongside other sources like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu Plus. Until now, switching to third party DVRs exclusively meant largely foregoing access to Comcast's VOD, but with this customers who dig the TiVo experience can switch without making compromises. Naturally, to make use of this customers will need to be Comcast TV subscribers, although we hear the video will be delivered via QAM just like on cable company owned boxes instead of IP, which might provide higher video quality than the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/xbox-360-apps-now-live-for-comcast-xfinity-tv-hbo-go-and-mlb-tv/">Xbox 360's recently launched app</a>.

There's not a lot of detail on the apps themselves, although the HBO Go and MLB.tv services are familiar due to their availability on other platforms, while <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/23/comcast-xbox-360-video-app/">we've already heard</a> the Xfinity TV app will mirror the experience and content already seen on the PC. All three naturally include significant Kinect integration, and bring the total number of video apps (already including recent additions like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/13/youtube-verizon-fios-tv-and-more-video-services-roll-out-to-xbo/">Verizon FiOS and YouTube</a>) available to 36. Interestingly, another stat Microsoft is focusing on is that the time spent using its consoles to watch online video is now over half, outpacing the time users are spending playing its games for the first time. Head of marketing and strategy for Xbox Yusuf Mehdi is quoted by the <i>LA Times </i>as saying usage is up 30 percent from a year ago. We're not sure if that just reflects gamers powering through to (and possibly being disappointed by) the ending of <i>Mass Effect 3</i>, but we'll be keeping an eye on our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/05/xbox-360-dashboard-update-fall-2011-review/">dashboards</a> for the new apps all the same.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/27/xbox-360-comcast-hbo-mlb-tv/">Xbox 360 Comcast, HBO and MLB.tv apps arrive today on consoles used more for video than games</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 27 Mar 2012 01:27:00 EST.

Adopted by the FCC's Communications, Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC), the new code targets three main security threats: botnets, DNS attacks and internet route hijacking. The Anti-Bot Code of Conduct invites ISPs to adopt sharper detection methods, and to notify and assist consumers whenever their computers are infected. The DNS code, meanwhile, offers a list of best practices by which ISPs can tighten security. Though it doesn't call for a full adoption of DNSSEC technology, the guidelines do represent a "first step" toward implementation, allowing web users to verify the authenticity of their online destinations. As for internet route attacks, the CSRIC calls for a similarly collective approach, asking ISPs to collaborate on new technologies within an industry-wide framework.<br /> <br /> In a statement, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said that these practices "identify smart, practical, voluntary solutions that will materially improve the cyber security of commercial networks and bolster the broader endeavors of our federal partners." The industry apparently agrees, as heavyweights like AT&amp;T, CenturyLink, Comcast, Cox, Sprint, Time Warner Cable, T-Mobile and Verizon have already signed on.

In case you're wonder exactly what its capabilities will be when it will arrives, a post over at <i>AVSForum</i> points out a support page that's already live and details both the requirements for service and content available. Customers that have Xbox Live Gold and both internet and video services from Comcast will be able to log into the app with their ID and view video on-demand (no live TV) including free videos, national broadcasters and premium channels. That includes access to HBO Go (which <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/15/hbo-go-xbox-360-kinect-control-video/">will already have an app</a>) and additional content from Max Go, as well as other premium stations -- basically the same lineup currently available on the Xfinity website. Also notable is confirmation that the cross-provider content search Microsoft is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/06/microsoft-unveils-live-tv-streaming-for-xbox-360-from-sky-tv-fo/">so proud of</a> will apply here, and that any video viewed through the app won't count against those <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/29/comcast-set-to-begin-bandwidth-capping-come-october-1st/">250GB data caps</a> Comcast has in place.

Prove it." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/celltowerdusk.jpg" style="margin: 4px;" /></a></div>By now, we hope you're plenty familiar with the ongoing saga between Verizon Wireless and the FCC -- no, not that little kerfuffle about <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/09/fcc-counters-verizon-aims-to-dismiss-its-data-roaming-complaint/">data roaming complaints</a>, but the biggie -- the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/02/verizon-scores-new-spectrum-from-comcast-time-warner-and-bright/">proposed transfer of 122 AWS spectrum licenses</a> from three cable providers to Big Red. While the FCC's latest move is merely a sign of due diligence, it's now pressing Verizon to supply additional information regarding its business, spectrum holdings and the proposed transfer -- all with a deadline on or before March 22nd. While many of the information requests are boilerplate material, the regulator specifically presses Verizon to substantiate its claims that it'll require additional spectrum in some markets <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/verizon-give-us-more-spectrum-were-gasping-over-here/">as early as 2013</a>. Further, Verizon must also provide an analysis of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/30/verizon-wireless-and-cricket-handshake-over-spectrum-anticipate/">proposed spectrum transfer</a> between itself and Leap Wireless and its impact upon the deal with the cable operators. Regardless of Big Red's response, it seems safe to assume that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/t-mobile-sprint-and-directv-file-with-fcc-to-halt-verizons-aws/">Sprint and T-Mobile</a> will each have some additional thoughts on the matter.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-599396/stock-photo-tropical-sunset-over-mountain.html">Tower photo</a> via Shutterstock]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/10/fcc-information-request-verizon-wireless/">FCC to Verizon Wireless: You need more spectrum?

The report goes on to mention it could stream through cable set-top boxes and appear as another line item on customer's bills, however for that, Netflix would have to rework content licensing agreements that bar its service from cable boxes, which has <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/16/suddenlink-starts-rolling-out-tivo-with-cable-vod-and-some-stre/">kept it off of TiVo Premieres offered by companies like Suddenlink</a> and RCN. We've also spoken to the infamous people with knowledge of the discussions and are hearing that while deals are being discussed, what's initiated the talks is the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/study-finds-netflix-is-the-largest-source-of-internet-traffic-in/">increasing bandwidth load</a> that Watch Instantly is placing on networks -- see the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/comcast,level3">Comcast vs. Level 3</a> dustup from 2010.<br /><br />What the deals being discussed could bring is a setup where your cable company offers bundled services (TV, internet, etc.) that include premium access to Netflix -- higher quality audio and video streams that don't count against bandwidth caps, and maybe even a discount from the standard rate. Cable companies could obtain revenue from Netflix under the deal, and also keep customers around thanks to the advantages of the bundled offerings, while Netflix could have more reliable distribution for its video, and a leg up on competition from Amazon and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/06/verizon-and-redbox-team-up/">Redbox / Verizon FiOS</a>. We'll wait and see what happens, but in an interesting twist, Netflix could quickly join sports as a tool for providers to keep customers from cutting the cord, instead of a reason for it.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/netflix-cable-bundled-services/">Netflix is in talks to partner with cable providers for bundles, could mean higher quality streaming</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:02:00 EST.

In what is undeniably an uncanny bit of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/19/atandt-abandons-t-mobile-merger-plans/">wireless industry d&eacute;j&agrave; vu</a>, T-Mobile, Sprint, DirecTV, in addition to the Rural Telecommunications Group and six others, have filed a request with the FCC <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/t-mobile-wants-fcc-to-block-verizons-spectrum-deals-with-cable/">to halt its 180-day review</a> of Verizon's AWS acquisition. According to the consortium's claims, documents submitted by Big Red and its cabler partners (Cox, Time Warner, Bright House and Comcast) in favor of the transaction are heavily redacted and therefore not in the public interest. The group is petitioning the Commission to place an absolute freeze on all of the operator's pending license transfers until full legal disclosure has been achieved. This latest Capitol Hill impasse comes right on the heels of VZW's own filing, in which it outlines an allegedly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/verizon-give-us-more-spectrum-were-gasping-over-here/">impending spectrum drought</a> that would see specific pockets of its network hitting capacity by 2015. Neither the FCC nor DOJ have yet to weigh in on either of these proceedings, but, rest assured, this certainly won't be the last we hear of this mobile saga.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/06/t-mobile-sprint-and-directv-file-with-fcc-to-halt-verizons-aws/">T-Mobile, Sprint and DirecTV file with FCC to halt Verizon's AWS acquisition</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Mar 2012 12:36:00 EST.

From the sound of things, the company will deliver a four stream transcoder similar to the one <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/11/updated-tivo-netflix-youtube-interfaces-and-ipad-streaming-hand/">we saw demonstrated at CES</a> (pictured above) capable of dishing out video to multiple devices (phones, tablets, etc.) within the home simultaneously. Also on the way is an IP set-top box coming to retail that sounds very much like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/tivo-premiere-q-and-preview-boxes-are-official-along-with-an-upd/">TiVo Preview</a> multiroom extender, however it could include access to internet video services as well. As mentioned on <em>Tech of the Hub</em>, CEO Tom Rogers' statements indicate the transcoder will enable both live streaming and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/directv,nomad">DirecTV Nomad</a>-style "high speed" sideloading of recorded content for offline viewing. More concrete are its positive numbers from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/virgin-media-2011-q4/">partnership with Virgin Media in the UK</a>, and progress on a plan for Pace to develop TiVo-compatible set-top boxes for cable operators here and abroad. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/09/comcast-will-open-up-its-video-on-demand-to-tivo-premiere-dvrs-a/">Comcast partnership</a> is also apparently progressing, with VOD access in beta trials and preparing to launch "soon" in the San Francisco area.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/">TiVo network transcoder hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741374"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming01lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741375"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming02lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741376"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming03lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741377"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming04lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/tivo-network-transcoder-hands-on/#4741378"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/tivostreaming05lg_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TiVo releases Q4 results, announces transcoder and IP set-top box on the way</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/tivo-q4-transcoder-ip-set-top-box/">TiVo releases Q4 results, announces transcoder and IP set-top box on the way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:28:00 EST.

That's the lesson we imagine Sprint is learning at this very moment. Just two months after it <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/sprint-sues-time-warner-comcast-cable-one-and-cox-for-infringi/">filed a lawsuit</a> against Comcast for getting all up in its VoIP business, the digital services company is now ready to go Comcastic on the Now Network's derriere, as it has filed a lawsuit of its own in a Pennsylvania court. While it's not directly tied into December's case, it seems oddly coincidental that this new suit came into existence so soon after Sprint fired the first shot.<br /><br />Comcast and subsidiary TVWorks, LLC allege that Sprint is guilty of violating four wireless patents: its wireless broadband cards, Vision Pack and other SMS services, MMS transfers and voice and data using IP / MPLS backhaul. That's a pretty hefty portion of the carrier's basic operations, it seems, and we're assuming that a settlement or licensing agreement will be the end result here. Regardless, as the adage says, what goes around comes around.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/comcast-sues-sprint/">Comcast sues Sprint with patent infringement, says two can play that game</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:59:00 EST.

The fact remains that T-Mobile has stuck its nose in the middle of Verizon's quest to bulk up its wireless portfolio. Big Magenta filed a request with the FCC on Tuesday, asking the regulatory agency to step in and block the transfer of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/02/verizon-scores-new-spectrum-from-comcast-time-warner-and-bright/">AWS spectrum licenses</a> from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/cox-communications-sells-20mhz-wireless-spectrum-to-verizon-for/">Cox</a>, Time Warner, Comcast and Bright House to Verizon. The deals, which will cost the carrier roughly $3.9 billion, are already drawing interest from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/21/justice-department-antitrust-division-probing-verizon-cable-spec/">Justice Department</a>, which is concerned it'll place too much control in the company's hands. T-Mobile, the smallest of the nationwide carriers, is equally worried about the concentration of spectrum in Verizon's big red paws. Presumably, though, that has more to do with its inability to purchase it -- especially in the aftermath of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/19/atandt-abandons-t-mobile-merger-plans/">collapsed AT&amp;T merger</a>. Metro PCS and some public advocacy groups also voiced their opposition, while Sprint took a more measured approach, saying only that the FCC should look closely at the agreements. See, handset makers aren't the only <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/samsung,apple">mobile</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/motorola,apple">companies</a> that can whip up a good legal <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htc,apple">drama</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/t-mobile-wants-fcc-to-block-verizons-spectrum-deals-with-cable/">T-Mobile wants FCC to block Verizon's spectrum deals with cable industry</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:54:00 EST.
