Starlink to offer global roaming service

By

Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet service, is developing a service offering named Global Roaming Service.

Video conferencing giant Zoom cuts back its workforce by 15%

By

Zoom, the video conferencing powerhouse that had explosive growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, has disclosed that 15% of its workforce, or around 1,300 workers, will be let go. The company’s CEO, Eric Yuan, attributed the need to reduce staff expenses to the company’s previously accelerated hiring during the pandemic and the unpredictability of the global economy.   The number of staff at Zoom increased by more than 275% between July 2019 and October 2022, reaching 8,422 employees.
