Comcast Launches New Video Doorbell for Xfinity Home Customers

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Comcast today announced that its new Xfinity Video Doorbell will begin to roll out to Xfinity Home customers. Powered by Xfinity Internet, the Xfinity Video Doorbell seamlessly integrates into new and existing Xfinity Home systems and allows customers to easily keep an eye on their front door from anywhere.

With the holidays approaching as well as the influx of out-of-town guests and holiday packages, there has never been more activity at the front door. According to the 2021 Deloitte Holiday Retail Survey, 62% of holiday spending is expected to occur online this year, opening up potential opportunities for package theft. With motion notifications and 24/7 video recording, the Xfinity Video Doorbell will help consumers keep an eye on deliveries and keep porch pirates at bay from anywhere this holiday season.

“The Xfinity Video Doorbell, integrated with our other Xfinity services, provides a convenient, secure way for

Pandemic fallout cuts deep wounds for Black-owned businesses. Can corporate America help? | Opinion

By John Harmon Sr.

While the pandemic has presented economic challenges for everyone, small businesses owned by people of color have been among the hardest hit.

Nationally, the number of active business owners in the United States fell by 22% from February to April 2020 as the pandemic forced businesses to close their doors. But for Black-owned businesses, the devastation ran nearly twice as deep.

The number of active African-American business owners declined 41% and locally, 41% of Black businesses were projected to stay closed resulting from the George Floyd protests last June as well as the continued effects of COVID-19.

This narrative has become the norm across America. It’s time to address this crisis head-on.

The pandemic poured gasoline on a fire that was already smoldering. Businesses operating closest to the margin were most likely to fail as the worst, but shortest, recession in 75 years quickly

Whether training for a 5K, practicing yoga or studying academic subjects, learning takes discipline. Knowledge and proficiency always come with practice, and the same holds true for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The algorithms get exponentially smarter with practice; over time, they get better at predicting and generating optimal business outcomes.

This is one reason I’ve been a strong proponent of starting early with AI for IT operations (AIOps) technologies. With hybrid work becoming the new norm, AIOps becomes imperative. Training is a primary step on the path to automation.

The Tool For Secure Hybrid Work

Hybrid work has approached the point of no return. The edges of corporate networks are exploding, and IT organizations are hyper-challenged to ensure business continuity and data security for remote workforces. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2021, more

Comcast delays data caps in Northeast US for at least another year

Comcast says it won’t deploy data caps in the Northeast US in 2022, giving another year’s reprieve to 12 states and a few other areas where Comcast customers don’t face overage fees. “We don’t have plans to implement our data usage plan in our Northeast markets in 2022 at this time,” Comcast said, according to a Light Reading article.

Comcast confirmed that quote to Ars today but declined to provide any further statement when asked about plans for 2023 and beyond. Comcast’s statement came after Massachusetts state Rep. Andy Vargas, a Democrat, told WHAV that “the latest we have is that they have no intention of reintroducing the data caps at all, which is a huge win.”

Vargas and 70 other Massachusetts lawmakers slammed Comcast a year ago when it announced a plan to start enforcing the data cap in the Northeast starting
