Xiaomi is showing off a thinner foldable! The FCC is cancelling a grant to Starlink, but rolling out more broadband is still a challenge. South Korea pardons Samsung heir after bribery scandal. Google might be kick-starting fiber roll out again.

And we have a cute little Poco in house to chat about.
