T-Mobile Intros New, Cheaper Small Biz Plans

-
T-Mobile today announced out new small business plans called Business Unlimited. The three new options offer a better value than the existing Magenta for Business plans in several ways. The cheapest option is as low as $25/line/month, cheaper than before. The most premium plan is now as low as $40/line, $5/month cheaper than Magenta Max for Business while offering similar features. The cheapest multi-line pricing also kicks in at just six lines instead of eight, and all plans now include much more high-speed mobile hotspot data. All include unlimited talk and text, as well as 5G access. The plans are: * Business Unlimited Select: For $25/line/month (with at least six lines and AutoPay), this offers 50 GB of speedy "Premium Data", 5 GB high-speed mobile hotspot, unlimited talk, text, and 2G data in Canada and Mexico, and unlimited texting and 2G data overseas. Although T-Mobile advertises 50 GB of Premium Data for this plan, the fine print says "During congestion, ... customers choosing lower-prioritized plans (Select) may notice lower speeds than other customers". T-Mobile confirmed to Phone Scoop that this mean this plan has "a lower prioritization level, similar to Metro or T-Mobile Essentials" for data speeds. The other two plans do not have this limitation. * Business Unlimited Advanced: For $30/line, this ups the Premium Data to 100 GB (with top priority) and the high-speed mobile hotspot to 40 GB. It also adds 1 hour of Gogo In-Flight Wi-Fi, 5 GB high-speed data in Canada and Mexico, Microsoft 365 on Us, and HD video streaming. * Business Unlimited Ultimate: For $40/line, this steps up to truly unlimited Premium Data on each smartphone, 100 GB high-speed mobile hotspot, and Unlimited Gogo In-Flight Wi-Fi. It also offers 2x faster data internationally (256 kbps) and 4K video streaming. T-Mobile is also throwing in "three one-hour one-on-one consultations with a Facebook marketing expert", and accounts will three or more lines will receive a $200 credit toward digital advertising on Facebook and/or Instagram. The new Business Unlimited plans will be available starting June 1.

Google Fit Gains Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate Measurement via Camera

A forthcoming update to Google Fit will allow the app to measure heart rate and respiratory rate using only a phone's camera. The update will be available next month. The feature will be available first for Pixel phones, "with plans to expand to more Android devices." To measure respiratory rate, the camera looks at your head and upper torso to detect "tiny physical signals at the pixel level — like chest movements". To measure heart rate, the user places their finger on the camera lens so the app can measure "subtle changes in the color of your fingers". While the features "aren’t meant for medical diagnosis or to evaluate medical conditions", Google has completed "initial clinical studies" to validate the features. http://dlvr.it/Rs1yx7

FTC Drops Antitrust Suit Against Qualcomm

-
The US Federal Trade Commission has decided not to appeal its antitrust case against Qualcomm to the US Supreme Court, effectively ending the matter in Qualcomm's favor. The FTC sued in 2017, claiming that the way Qualcomm links the sales of baseband processors with patent licensing amounts to anticompetitive behavior and unfair business practices. Similar lawsuits have been successful in South Korea, China, and Europe, and the FTC won its case initially. However Qualcomm appealed and prevailed last year. With the FTC's decision to not go to the Supreme Court, the decision from the Court of Appeals stands. http://dlvr.it/RwhdLP
