This week, I highlight where the hype lies in AI, where there is opportunity, and why an "AI-first native strategy" by vendors is the wrong approach. I also explain the importance of AI use cases that help boost efficiency, versus those that are more disruptive to a given industry and how AI is truly upending the news media industry. I detail the new financial details released by Versant Media Group, Comcast's spinoff of the majority of its NBCU cable network portfolio and the importance of understanding the difference between free cash flow and profitability.I also break down the viewership numbers from Netflix's Canelo vs. Crawford boxing event, Amazon's TNF kickoff NFL game, and YouTube's exclusive live global stream of the NFL game from Brazil, which YouTube originally misreported, resulting in updated numbers that increased by two million viewers a few days later. Also covered are Sky's plan to lay off 600 employees, the NBA's investment arm investing in MediaKind, and why Antenna's numbers of ESPN Unlimited and Fox One sign-ups should not be trusted.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

Clarke calls for solidarity among desert inhabitants of all backgrounds, urging collaboration to safeguard their way of life. Notable Quotes: "I was involved in sitting in administration buildings in protest... It was all very new and exciting, and I had no perspective back then." "There are probably circumstances in which I would decide people are justified in using some violence to defend themselves... But we are not there in a mass political sense in the US." "It's people on the right that need to start professing their opposition to political violence. Because on the left, our record is pretty clear." "The task of revealing what's going on in this country is necessarily falling to us because Paramount and Comcast and Disney and Apple and Netflix and Google and Meta don't have the slightest interest in informing us at this point." "We are all desert people, and we need to stand up for each other."

Media cartographer Evan Shapiro publishes the definitive chart of the global media industry cited by every pundit and trade publication. After 20 years of disruptive change, the media industry is evolving so quickly beyond recognition that Evan's chart has emerged as the universal scorecard to keep track of who owns what. Evan joins the Futurists to decipher the chaos in streaming, television, socials and cinema. Topics include: the importance of audience fragmentation across media formats and platforms; the consequences of consolidation; why Big Tech is trouncing Big Media;  why Netflix is worth more than Disney, Comcast, WarnerBros Discovery, and Paramount combined;  YouTube as the new era of cable TV;  why 60% of all advertising dollars flow through three companies;  Disney's genius move with ESPN;  and Evan's surprising answer to the question: which is the only major media company that has managed the transition to the digital age?

In this episode of PING, APNIC Chief Scientist Geoff Huston shares a story from the recent AusNOG in Melbourne and connects it to measurement work at APNIC Labs, exploring how modern IP flow control manages ‘fair shares' of the network. At AusNOG 2025, Geoff attended a talk by Lincoln Dale of Amazon AWS titled “No Packet Left Behind: AWS's Approach to Building and Operating Reliable Networks”. The presentation examined how AWS scales its data centre networks, highlighting massive investments in high-speed routers and switches to support both global internet services and the vast flows of traffic between servers and other Amazon resources. What AWS doesn't do is rely on highly complex protocols like Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), or other modern traffic engineering techniques unless absolutely necessary. Instead, they use a radically simplified, on-chip model of data management, pushing as much processing as possible into a single VLSI circuit and minimizing the amount of ‘smart' work in the network. The question is: How can simplifying the IP stack to this extent actually work? Geoff has long been sceptical of higher-layer protocols that try to manage bandwidth reservation and shaping. He recalls an earlier attempt by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) to signal congestion with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), a mechanism that still exists in the protocol stack and now underpins new bandwidth management approaches such as Apple and Comcast's ‘L4S'. APNIC Labs has measured how the wider Internet responds to ECN signals using an advertising-based model, and the results suggest this approach struggles outside tightly controlled, ‘walled garden' networks. He contrasts this with advances in flow control through Google's BBR, now in its third version, which refines the aggressive, bandwidth-seeking behaviour of TCP window management.

MSNBC’s parent company Comcast issues an apology over its shocking Charlie Kirk coverage — and though critics say it’s too little, too late…the company seems to be signaling a shift in tone. Meanwhile, Senator JD Vance hosts Charlie’s show, bringing powerful insights, and Charlie’s widow Erika breaks her silence, vowing to keep her husband’s legacy alive. Already 37,000 new applications for Turning Point Chapters have come in. The fallout from this tradgedy is rocking the left as many Democrats are turning red and ditch their party in outrage over the response. Even Hollywood is speaking out — with Coldplay, Morgan Wallen, Chris Pratt, and even Whoopi Goldberg — striking a rare somber tone — signaling that America has reached a cultural turning point.

Kent School District just taught kids the worst civics lesson imaginable. We keep learning more details about the background and ideology of Charlie Kirk’s alleged murderer. // KOMO had a headline about local crime rates that was (unintentionally) factually inaccurate. Comcast is suing Washington over a new tax on digital advertisements. // Washington has finally beat California in having higher gas prices. Washington State Ferries are testing out allowing people to bring their dogs on deck.

Comcast has filed a lawsuit in Thurston County Superior Court challenging Washington's new sales tax on advertising services, arguing it discriminates against internet-based ads in violation of federal law. The tax, part of Senate Bill 5814 signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson, is projected to raise billions but could be struck down, imperiling state budget plans. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/comcast-lawsuit-argues-new-washington-tax-on-advertising-is-illegal/ #Comcast #WashingtonState #AdvertisingTax #StreamingServices #InternetTaxFreedomAct #SenateBill5814 #DigitalAdvertising #StateBudget

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Comcast has been connecting millions nationwide with high-speed internet, TV, and mobile services since 1963. Along with delivering reliable technology, they're dedicated to closing the digital divide and expanding access across Utah. External Affairs Director, Deneiva Knight, joins us with more. Deveiva Knight: At Comcast, investing in Utah's workforce is more than a strategy, it's a responsibility. We know a strong economy depends on a skilled and empowered workforce, so we partner with nonprofits, economic development groups, and community leaders to close skill gaps and expand internet access. Our mission is simple: equip more Utahns with digital skills they need — whether they're changing careers, starting out, or upskilling. Through local partnerships, we fund job training programs, we provide resources to make tech a tool for opportunity. Comcast RISE takes it further by supporting Utah small business owners with grants, marketing, and tech upgrades, fueling innovation and job growth. Over the past three years, we've contributed 5.3 million dollars in cash and in-kind support to 80 local Utah organizations, including PROG Development Center and Neighborhood House, helping expand access through Internet Essentials and Lift Zones. Utah's workforce drives our commitment. And you can learn more at Comcast.com.

If you're an expert in something, chances are, you share content about that something. But so does everyone around you. Merely sharing your expertise makes you a commodity. I can get it anywhere, and I guess you're anywhere. That's why I routinely say, you need to stop creating content and start creating IP. Your IP is built on top of your premise, the core idea informing the rest, but more experts should also develop their signature frameworks, or what our guest today calls "contextual models." Your contextual models help turn complexity into simplicity, so people go, "Wow, I get it, and I see how much more there is to know. Take me through it."Today's wonderful guest (and a master of contextual modeling) is Neen James. She's a leadership strategist who has worked with brands like Viacom, Comcast, and the Four Seasons, a fantastic keynote speaker, and the author of multiple books, including Folding Time, Attention Pays, and her latest: Exceptional Experiences: Five Luxury Levers to Elevate Every Aspect of Your Business.In our episode, Neen shares how she develops her frameworks, then delivers a signature story from her speeches and her new book which we dissect and celebrate piece by piece.This is a rare and generous look at the process of one of my favorite business authors and speakers.***ABOUT ME - IN 3 PHRASESDon't market more.

What does luxury really mean in today's experience economy? The answer might surprise you.Joining us on this eye-opening CX Pulse Check episode is luxury experience expert Neen James, who shares groundbreaking research revealing that luxury isn't about price tags—it's a mindset with four distinct profiles. Yet regardless of which luxury mindset we embody, we all agree on five essential characteristics: high quality, long-lasting, authentic, unique, and indulgent."You don't have to have a luxury product to provide a luxury level of service," Neen explains, unlocking possibilities for businesses across every industry and price point. Her research definitively proves what many have suspected: luxury is increasingly about experiences rather than possessions, and about feeling genuinely seen, heard, and valued.We explore fascinating real-world applications, from wealthy travelers choosing cooking lessons with Italian grandmothers over five-star hotels to Louis Vuitton's theatrical ship-shaped flagship store in China.Perhaps most applicable for everyday business is our discussion of Starbucks' ambitious four-minute service goal. As Neen advises, we must "think like a concierge, not a bellhop," transforming transactional relationships into meaningful connections through what she calls "systemized thoughtfulness."The insights from this conversation apply whether you're running a coffee shop or a luxury retailer.Don't miss Neen's upcoming book, Exceptional Experiences, launching October 14th with pre-orders available now.About Neen James:Neen James (neenjames.com) is a leadership strategist, dynamic keynote speaker, and the author of Folding Time, Attention Pays, and the upcoming Exceptional Experiences. With boundless energy, quick wit, and actionable insights, she serves as a confidante to C-suite leaders to help them elevate experiences and achieve greater focus, communication, and influence. Recently appointed to the board of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce, James has been named one of the Top 30 Leadership Speakers by Global Gurus multiple years in a row for her work with some of the world's most prestigious brands, including Viacom, Comcast, Virtuoso Travel, Four Seasons, and the FBI.

Jason Sisneros is a battle-tested CEO and business strategist known as The Architect for his unique ability to systemize, scale, and turn around companies for maximum cash flow or exit. He's worked with Fortune 500 giants like Nike, Comcast, and Microsoft, and has led the successful turnaround of over 100 small to mid-cap companies. Renowned for his leadership expertise, Jason has delivered over 3,000 presentations and was a top speaker for Tony Robbins. His entrepreneurial journey wasn't without setbacks—Jason lost three businesses and filed for bankruptcy. Instead of quitting, he spent six years learning directly from the world's top business minds, filling notebooks with proven systems and strategies. He applied that knowledge to rescue a failing cleaning business, turning it into a multi-million dollar exit using what would become the B2X System. That single turnaround sparked a 20-year career helping entrepreneurs build scalable, sellable companies. With decades of experience, dozens of personal exits, and countless consulting wins, Jason now offers the B2X System—a complete operating blueprint for entrepreneurs ready to scale and succeed. During the show we discussed:  Why businesses fail to scale — and how B2X fixes it The four pillars of the B2X Approach Shifting from operator to owner Why books and coaches aren't enough Culture's impact on valuation and scale Building systems that run without you Custom-tailored vs. generic exits When to start exit planning Biggest mistakes when selling a business How B2X attracts buyers and investors What a strong exit team looks like The value of recurring revenue and retention Key financial metrics buyers want Real business turnarounds with B2X   Resources: https://builttoexit.biz

The photo world is filled with remarkable young and up-and-coming talents. They often don't get the visibility they deserve, so we created Next Frame—a new monthly series aiming to shine a light their way. These bite-sized episodes are equally inspired by the guests we speak with and the invaluable contributions of local creative arts programs that have played a key role in their development. We're launching this series with photographer, filmmaker, and boxing & music aficionado Josh Nass, an alumnus of Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media programs. From nailing his Photoshop skills while still in middle school to trading in his boxing gloves for a camera during college and beyond, Josh regales us with practical tips about both the successes and challenges all young creatives must face as they transition from trading pictures for access to molding media skills into a profitable career. Looking back on his early days chasing both music and fashion scenes, Josh notes, “Your main role as a photographer—especially with talent and famous people—you know, I thought I was just making them look cool, but I'm making them money. I'm marketing them for their next tour, for their current tour. Looking back, I've learned a thing or two about how to get users' attention online.” Guest: Josh Nass   Episode Timeline: 2:04: Baltimore/DC-based photographer Josh Nass talks about first picking up a camera to fill his time after hanging up his boxing gloves. 3:40: Leveraging social media to get on stage and photograph his favorite Caribbean singer, then trading free pictures for ongoing access. 7:25: Navigating one's comfort level as an up-and-coming photographer, plus making a distinction between comfort with gear and social ease with subjects and clients. 9:08: Making pictures of cool moments, creative editing decisions to draw out the cool factor, and being first to deliver the files are all key to Josh's success. 14:02: Street hustling at New York Fashion Week to gain access to photograph top artists and celebrities, and the tough lessons Josh learned in the process. 19:06: Josh's connection to Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media and the formative role their programs have played in his early photography success. 22:50: Being referred by Wide Angle for a Comcast commercial, and the backstory to what transpired behind-the-scenes.  29:49: Josh weighs future career options and whether he'll choose to pursue photography full time.  35:40: Essential advice for emerging photographers: Prioritize building your skills and don't overvalue your work early on. Plus, a look at Josh's first big paid gig for a Keke Palmer concert and marketing campaign.    Guest Bio: Josh Nass is a Baltimore/DC-based freelance photographer and a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he's pursuing a bachelor's degree in information science. As a high school graduate of The Baltimore School for the Arts and a participant Baltimore's Wide Angle Youth Media non-profit, he's honed his subject-based style to give each of his shoots, whether its celebrities, musicians, athletes, or models, a unique “wow” factor.   Stay Connected: Website Instagram Facebook Wide Angle Youth / Comcast Video   Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens
