## Resource

News and Updates: • Dark Web Definition: The dark web is a decentralized, unindexed portion of the deep web requiring specialized software like Tor for anonymous, often unregulated, online communication. • Legal vs. Illegal: Accessing the dark web is legal in the U.S., but engaging in illicit activities like buying stolen data or illegal substances remains prosecutable. • FCC Sports Inquiry: The FCC is investigating the migration of live sports to paid streaming services, citing concerns over consumer costs and broadcasters’ public interest obligations. • 25Gbps Light Internet: Alphabet spinoff Taara debuted a compact ”Beam” device using near-infrared light to deliver high-speed broadband up to 10km without laying fiber. • Starlink Mobile Rebrand: SpaceX officially renamed its ”Direct to Cell” service to Starlink Mobile, aiming to serve hundreds of millions of users via second-generation satellites by 2027. SpaceX VP Michael Nicolls clarified that Starlink Mobile is a ”hybrid network” component intended to augment, not replace, traditional ground-based cellular density. • Bluetooth Channel Sounding: A new Bluetooth upgrade called Channel Sounding allows devices like trackers and smart locks to locate each other accurately within just ten centimeters.
