FTC's Lawsuit Should Make You Feel Very Insecure About the IoT
Even though D-Link expressly promised that many of its wireless devices
had the highest level of security available, the FTC last month filed a
lawsuit that alleges otherwise. The FTC filing includes copies of online
marketing materials and technical specifications for D-Link's products,
and flatly declares that "thousands of Defendants' routers and cameras
have been vulnerable to attacks."

Verizon Caves, Launches New Unlimited Data Plan
Facing growing pressure to respond to growing wireless data demands in
the U.S. mobile phone market, Verizon finally relented. The company on
Sunday announced its own unlimited smartphone option while keeping
alternatives open for lighter data users. Verizon's new introductory
plan provides unlimited data on smartphones or tablets, along with
unlimited texts and phone calls, for $80 per month.

AI Deconstructs Phone Sales Pitches
SaaS solutions firm Gong last week released the findings of a study on
sales phone conversations, including an analysis of gender speaking
patterns. Women delivered slightly longer sales monologues, averaging
about 9-12 seconds longer than those their male counterparts gave, but
men generally spoke faster, the study found. Men tended to speak at a
faster pace than women.
