EFF MP and National Spokesperson Sinawo Thambo raised concerns about data and airtime expiry during a meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies in the Parliament. The committee engaged with major mobile network operators, including MTN, Vodacom, Cell C, Telkom, and Rain. He challenged the logic behind data and airtime expiry, questioning whether it was a purely capitalist scheme designed to exploit consumers. Thambo argued that since data and airtime are not perishable goods, their expiry policies are unjust and violate consumer rights by allowing mobile operators to profit unfairly.

♦️Breaking News♦️ ICASA concedes that the expiry of data and airtime is unfair on consumers and exploitative! In less than a year since we raised it, and due to a spirited and consistent fight by the EFF, ICASA has introduced regulations to include automatic rollover of unused prepaid data. These regulations will come into effect in 12-months. More can and will be done. We now go for high costs of data! #ThankYouEFF

Mobile operators will have to let you roll over unused data to the next month at no extra cost, so you won’t lose what you didn’t use. Bundles shorter than seven days are excluded, but you’ll also be able to transfer unused data to other users on the same network. ICASA says this is a major step in protecting consumers, despite pushback from the industry. Chairperson of the End-User Subscriber Charter Committee and ICASA Councillor Catherine Mushi says this does not include promotional bundles. Watch: #Newzroom405

For too long, data center management and operations tooling have overpromised and undelivered. As data centers have evolved to become AI factories, legacy tooling and limited innovation has meant downtime, hotspots, lack of asset visibility, and more. That ends now for teams that use Aravolta. We’ve been quietly working with data center operators to build tools, powered by AI, to change the game for data centers.

♦️Must Watch♦️ EFF MP Hon. Sixolise Gcilishe exposes the truth behind the PR spin of mobile network operators in the Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies. Gcilishe challenges the CEOs of Vodacom and MTN for misleading Parliament with feel-good social responsibility narratives, while excluding the critical realities facing poor communities: You donate laptops to schools but the learners can’t use them. There’s no power. No routers. No connectivity. You offer a R99 smart phone but fail to mention the R70 airtime lock-in that comes with it. People get blacklisted for missing payments on contracts they can’t afford. Why are data bundles still expiring if they’ve been paid for? Why haven’t MNOs implemented free data for students, grant recipients, and unemployed youth? Are Vodacom and others selling customer information for profit? If so shouldn't that be treated as theft? She further asks why should your licenses be renewed if you won’t commit to basic data justice for the people of South Africa? #EFFInParliament

Dr. John Campbell exposed that the government is HIDING data showing that Covid-19 shots are clearly associated with excess deaths. RUSSELL BRAND: “What … will be the single piece of data that provides a tipping point where the majority of people will say … we were lied to about this?” CAMPBELL: “The obvious one is correlating vaccination status against excess deaths.” “Now, the British government were given the opportunity to release this [data] just last month.” “They actually … said they weren’t going to release it.” “What we don’t know [in the data] is who had the vaccine and did they die?” “The government has REFUSED to release that data.” “We believe that that data has been released to the pharmaceutical industry.” “Bits of data have appeared … in Japan, for example, and also in Italy.” “It doesn’t look good.” “It looks like excess deaths were associated with vaccination.” Russell Brand John Campbell

A new roadmap. A New Era of The Graph 🗺️ The Graph’s new roadmap introduces a bold and transformative vision for the future of The Graph! The new R&D roadmap details an expansion of The Graph’s ability to serve web3’s growing demands for data access, while better serving builders and protocol contributors, and improving the overall simplicity and efficiency of the network. After three years of serving builders, The Graph Network is mature, reliable, and performant. The Graph ecosystem has followed through on its commitment to democratize access to blockchain data while also establishing subgraphs as a web3 standard. But The Graph’s innovation journey doesn’t end there. The New Era of The Graph is organized into five core objectives: 1️⃣ World of Data Services: Expanding to provide new data services beyond subgraphs to deliver a rich market of data on the network, serving novel use cases for data scientists and more. This will include more data sources, new query languages, and support for LLMs. 2️⃣ Developer Empowerment: Supporting developers through enhanced DevEx and tooling by introducing streamlined billing, clear pricing models, a new free query plan, and reduced gas fees. A more SaaS-like experience for devs, without compromising on decentralization! 3️⃣ Protocol Evolution & Resiliency: Delivering improvements resulting in a more resilient, flexible, and simple protocol, including updates to delegation. 4️⃣ Optimized Indexer Performance: Boosting network performance with improved Indexer tooling and operational capabilities to deliver increased scalability, reduce costs, and enhanced network reliability. 5️⃣ Interconnected Graph of Data: Creating tools for composable data and a global, organized knowledge graph – interlinking open data and making it easier to build upon. The new roadmap sets in motion an exciting evolution in web3 data infrastructure. In a phased rollout, The Graph will introduce many new features and benefits, including the integration of new data services, new query languages, enhanced developer tooling, improved UX + UI, alongside greater protocol efficiency and resilience. As this new era unfolds, The Graph crystallizes as the connective tissue across the many layers of the web3 stack, evolving into a comprehensive, interwoven graph of data equipped to serve every project dreamt up by web3’s innovators. Read the full announcement linked in the comment below!

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed new rules that would require states to hand over data on voters who receive mail-in ballots for federal elections. It comes after President Trump signed an executive order earlier this year, tightening mail-in voting rules, with a stated goal of making elections more secure. But a new report says the most likely threats to election security this November come from other sources. Liz Landers has more.

So excited to launch Autograph today. We raised $2.1M from elite operators, founders, and investors to build a platform that feels like God Mode for Operators. It's a single platform that integrates with existing systems — the alphabet soup of enterprise software, like your HRIS, ERP, FP&A, ATS, CRM, along with data warehouses and spreadsheets — to combine, clean, and make sense of your data. This data feeds a series of pre-built apps and agents that allow you to level up as an operator: run your complex, multi-functional workflows 10x better. We're solving the processes that takes forever and is really frustrating, but is essential to operating and scaling effectively: our first few apps are headcount planning, compensation reviews, and sales capacity. We're moving insanely fast. We're shipping a new app every couple of weeks. Soon, we'll have hiring pipelines, vendor analytics, resource allocation, unit economics, CX capacity, people analytics, and more. The best part? It's incredibly fast to set up thanks to our powerful agentic data engine, that processes any data source like magic. That means no long implementations, no multi-year contracts. We think it's the biggest leap forward for operators since the spreadsheet. Book an 20-minute onboarding to get started!
