After last month’s outage left AT&T customers nationwide without service, the FCC has confirmed to Bloomberg that it has requested “more in-depth information from AT&T concerning the cause, effect, and the company’s response to the incident.”
AT&T has since attributed the outage to the “execution of an incorrect process” and offered customers a $5 credit.
This deep dive from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman offers a detailed timeline of the company’s embattled EV that employees referred to as the “Bread Loaf” due to its microbus-style design.
Apple poured billions of dollars into the project, reportedly planning “a multi-acre engineering campus in Silicon Valley” dedicated to designing cars and even weighing a deal with Lincoln. One Apple exec tells Bloomberg the project dragged on far too long:
According to a longtime Apple executive who worked on the car, it was widely seen within the company as an ill-conceived product that needed to be put out of its misery. “The big arc was poor leadership that let the program linger, while everyone else in Apple was cringing.”
In a memo to employees obtained by Variety, Rooster Teeth general manager Jordan Levin wrote that the company is closing “due to challenges facing digital media resulting from fundamental shifts in consumer behavior and monetization.”
Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns Rooster Teeth, is in talks to sell the rights to some of the production company’s series, including RWBY, Red vs. Blue, and Gen:Lock, Variety reports. And while WBD is also reportedly looking to sell the Roost podcast network, it will remain operational.
