The proposal to create a separate network for state agencies has been included in the passport of the ‘Digital Economy’ program recently approved by the government, Vedomosti daily reported on Wednesday. According to the report, the deadline for the project is set for 2024.

The newspaper quoted an unnamed source as saying that the new network will likely using the LTE-450 standard that allows both the work of cellular phones in push-to-talk regime and high-quality video streaming.

Vedomosti also said that while the operator of the new network is yet to be determined, it is highly probable that it will be T2 RTK Holding, widely known in Russia as Tele2. The company has already provided similar services to the state when it organized communication for various emergency services under the LTE-450 standard during the 2018 Football World Cup in Russia.

Representatives of T2 RTK Holding told reporters that their company was ready to participate in the program and that the issue was being discussed with the authorities, but did not elaborate.

Russian officials and politicians on various levels have repeatedly warned about the dangers of using foreign-made devices and software in state agencies – in particular, the possibility of irreparable data loss, eavesdropping by foreign special services, or a hacking attack in times of crisis.

In 2015, the Russian communications minister said in a televised interview that, in his view, all employees in Russian state agencies must stop using services like Google, Yahoo, or WhatsApp for work-related communication.

Shortly before that, the head of the Russian security council criticized various regional officials for using foreign email services and WhatsApp messenger at work and told governors to urgent take measures for further prevention of such incidents.

About a year before that, lawmakers from parliamentary majority party United Russia proposed mandatory certification for all communication devices used in state structures, claiming it would offer additional protection against eavesdropping programs. In 2013, a United Russia lawmaker said that civil servants who use popular US internet services and social networks at work should be tried for high treason.

AT&T’s push to end net neutrality rules continued yesterday in a blog post that says the company has never blocked third-party applications and that it won’t do so even after the rules are gone.

Just one problem: the blog post fails to mention that AT&T blocked Apple’s FaceTime video chat application on iPhones in 2012 and 2013. Policy Director Matt Wood of advocacy group Free Press pointed out the omission in a tweet:

In AT&T’s new blog post, Senior Executive VP Bob Quinn refers back to a prediction Free Press made in 2010 when the first version of the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality rules were adopted.

AT&T is using an LTE-equipped drone to reconnect some Puerto Ricans who lost wireless service after Hurricane Maria.

This obviously isn’t a permanent fix for Puerto Rico, where 48 percent of cell sites are still out of service more than a month after the hurricane wrecked telecom infrastructure on the island. But the drone—AT&T calls it a Flying COW (Cell on Wings)—is providing wireless connectivity in an area of up to 40 square miles.

“As we work to permanently restore our network, this experimental technology is providing data, voice, and text services to customers,” AT&T said in an announcement today. “This is the first time an LTE cell site on a drone has been successfully deployed to connect residents after a disaster.”

A few weeks ago, I wondered whether connected cars might end up using LTE modems for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications rather than the 5.9GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) protocol. Although the DSRC bandwidth was allocated in 1999 and the 802.11p spec outlined in 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been very slow to act, and here in 2017 we’re still waiting for automakers to actually add it to any of their vehicles.

By contrast, 4G LTE is becoming pervasive across new car lineups with no reason to believe it will be any different when 5G LTE arrives. But today Qualcomm revealed a new chipset for OEMs that will let us have our connected car cakes and eat them too, as it were.

Due in the second half of 2018, it’s called the Qualcomm 9150 C-V2X chipset, and the name sort of gives it away. C is for cellular, for it will work with 4G and emerging 5G networks. And V2X—Vehicle-to-Everything—means it also uses the 5.9GHz DSRC protocol that is meant to directly connect to other cars, traffic lights, and even pedestrians. The C-V2X chipset also has an integrated global navigation satellite system built in, and Qualcomm has also come up with a C-V2X reference design that pairs the chipset with an application processor running its Intelligent Transportation Systems V2X stack and a hardware security module.

Apple may finally be ready to release a version of Apple Watch that cuts the gadget’s dependence on the company’s iPhone.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is readying an Apple Watch that works on cellular networks. It would represent a pivotal step in the development of the wearable.

Since its launch two years ago, even some fans have lamented the fact that it must be tethered to the iPhone for most of its functionality. Removing that barrier could dramatically expand interest in the smartwatch.

Bloomberg cited “people familiar with the matter.”

The story said the new Apple Watch would have LTE chips provided by Intel. Apple is also in talks with various carriers in the U.S. and Europe regarding the cellular edition.

While cellular smartwatches already exist, they have tended to be quite bulky to accommodate the chipsets and batteries needed to make them useful. It seems Apple may have found a way to bridge this traditional tradeoff between appearance and functionality.

The Apple Watch continues to be the leader by marketshare around the world. In its recent earnings call, the company said sales of the watch increased by 50 percent in the most recent quarter.

No price for the device was reported, and the costs for a plan with carriers is likely still be determined.

This scene could be plucked from either of his most recent movies, The Clouds of Sils Maria and the just-released Personal Shopper, both of which create senses of limbo through examining high status artist lifestyles, and also the less visible labor that designs, supports, and upholds celebrity. (One of the fascinating things about celebrity, too, is that it monumentalizes people but also sees them becoming largely abstracted entities.)

Kristen Stewart plays the lead in both films. In Clouds of Sils Maria, she plays Valentine, the assistant to Juliette Binoche’s revered veteran actress character. In one of the very few moments where she’s alone in that film — it’s as if her own existence were the creation of others — we see her on a long drive through a mountain pass, before she gets out of her car and a fog begins swallowing her. Maureen, her character in Personal Shopper, meanwhile, selects the dresses that her movie star/fashion icon/gorilla “activist” boss will wear — but she’s not allowed to wear them herself. Maureen creates the images by which a celebrity body becomes known, adored, and divvied up into perception, but her curation of another body leads to questions about the tangibility of her own: a genuinely isolated person, she moonlights as a medium who disappears from Paris to host seances in old French country mansions, who tries to make contact with her dead twin while still reeling from his loss, and who gets entangled in an act of brutality after text messaging with the Unknown — perhaps her dead brother, perhaps some anonymous person, perhaps her own imagination.

In Personal Shopper, Assayas’ 17th feature, the French director has created one of his strangest films yet — a genre mash-up with hints of the savageness of his 2002 film Demonlover, the soft mourning of 2008’s Summer Hours, the oneiric but sometimes satirical rendering of celebrity of Clouds of Sils Maria — and then just pure horror. Shopper escalates towards a shocking filmmaking feat: making a riveting, sexy, disquieting 20+ minute scene in which Kristen Stewart’s thumbs and disembodied text on a cell phone are the key players. In Assayas’ two recent, celebrity-oriented visions of modernity, the central question might not be, “Is Maureen’s brother’s ghost haunting her?” but rather, “Who in this world isn’t really a ghost?”

The director spoke at length about all of these ideas, before his publicist whisked him off to an interview for NPR, leaving me there with this recording in my phone. [You mean your secure and highly professional recording device, right? — Ed.]

Flavorwire: Ever since smartphones became the norm, there’s been this obstacle for filmmakers — texting is such a prevalent mode of communication, but it looks so clunky onscreen. I’ve seen it stylized all different ways, and it rarely feels effective. How did you come about this particularly dynamic mode of filming text messaging?

Olivier Assayas: Ultimately, I approached it the way I approach everything —I try to make it real. People have been trying to devise abstract ways, coded ways of dealing with it. I thought the interesting part of it is the human dynamic of it. But it’s so difficult to capture! You have to take it really seriously, and the interesting part of it is that of course it’s much more complicated than I imagined, because my approach was, “Let’s see how this works, let’s have the actual text message on the screen and let’s have Kristen interact,” but once you put that into motion and try to reproduce the dynamics of that, it’s absurdly complicated. So really you have to shoot and shoot and shoot until you get it right.

[The scene] does reproduce traditional horror movie scare tactics — but with the ellipsis that comes on a text screen while the other person’s typing standing in for a door that’s been left mysteriously ajar. 

I have a lot of ideas about this which I didn’t think I had before! I think what’s exciting about text messaging is that it’s a completely new form of communication, and it’s something that functions on top of other ways of communicating — it’s something we’re doing while we’re doing something else. It has a very specific tension in terms of when the answer comes back, or how long you’ll take for yourself to answer. You’re constantly playing with that. Sometimes you’re texting with someone and the answer instantly pops up and sometimes you get the answer after two minutes — and that seems like a huge time. What has been going on during those two minutes?! Has that person been trying to find a way to verbalize whatever he or she is trying to express? Why two minutes? All of a sudden the precision of the timing and the wording, the context of where you are when you get the message, it becomes intense, it’s very charged. It was interesting to see if I could transcribe into cinematic dramatics the specific, strange energy of text messaging.

The text scene is really unsettling in this new way; for the main scene with an actual ghost, you seemed to be looking towards more traditional genre portrayals.

At some point I thought it was interesting to be able to reproduce whatever she imagined. How I would represent the ghost was pretty much a question mark. And what I use is spiritualist photography from the 19th century. When you look at those photos, they’re very crude superimpositions, very naïve in a way. But still they’re kind of spooky. And they kind of nail something that has to do with our own fears of communicating with the supernatural. So I used those images, and also descriptions by mediums of what they saw or imagined they saw in séances. So we really worked from descriptions — there’s this presence, and it vomits an ectoplasm — that’s something that comes back constantly.

There’s this odd superficial gap in the way we differentiate ghost stories from stories about robots and A.I. — but the implications are pretty similar. In your film, there’s this simplicity to the technological object — and we don’t know what kind of consciousness is behind it, controlling and haunting it. It makes so much sense for ghost stories and technology to coalesce —

Sci-fi and ghost fiction are ultimately one in the same thing. It struck me a long time ago as a very young film journalist. I was interviewing David Cronenberg, who had just done The Brood, and at some point he said, “it’s a movie about my divorce.” And I think that sometimes when you use the language of genre, it’s because it’s the most accurate way of dealing with what’s actually happening in your life. Because sometimes we get mixed up by this border between imagination and reality. Reality is what’s happening outside of us; fiction is what’s happening inside of us. We live in a very abstract world, and we have to acknowledge that. To me the world of imagination, even the weirdest, is always part of the human experience. It’s always dealing with something real that’s happening. It’s like, Lord of the Rings is the reality happening in the imagination of Tolkien, as much as an Antonioni movie is about the reality in Antonioni’s imagination. The movies of John Carpenter, Cronenberg, Wes Craven, they were a huge influence — Dario Argento. I think it’s great art. That’s not B movie making. That’s A+ for me.

One of the things that fascinates me the most about your movies is the fluidity of what we’d perceive to be “imaginary” versus real. Knowing that audiences — particularly, say, American audiences — are used to cinema that totally separates the two, how do you plan and structure the slips between “reality” and “symbol?” All of Clouds of Sils Maria feels like linear realism until just one specific moment really changes that. Whereas in Personal Shopper, those slips are all over the place.

I like the idea of playing with the expectation of the audience — I think it’s entertaining, but some audiences have been angry about it! “Why are you not going in the direction where you’re expected to go?” I’m not going in that direction because it’s boring! I think it’s more exciting if you play along — it’s like a game. So either you want to play the game or you don’t, but if you want to, it’s fun, it’s exciting.

Personal Shopper references the art of Hilma af Klint [an occult artist who was recently re-discovered — and kind of beat more famous artists to the punch with her pioneering use of abstract images]. Did you know a lot about her work and story conceiving this movie?

I was playing with the elements of the story when I bumped into her. It was a shock; I had no idea this was going to be part of the film. It came out of research, of being interested in modern painting. It was such a shock to discover this artist in the sense that, in 1906, there was this woman who was doing that stuff, and she’s one of the great woman artists of the 19th century. Also completely transforms the gender narrative; she was kind of suppressed — no one suppressed her, but she did not want her work to be known. She consciously made the choice of not exhibiting it.

Didn’t she demand that it not be shown until 20 years after she died?

She felt it was so weird that no one would understand it. But she was totally convinced that her hand was guided by spirits; otherwise you would not have dared to go in that direction. I was really obsessing about her, and how all of a sudden her work is out there, and you’ll have to rewrite the history of modern painting in a certain way. No one had access to it [until 1986]. It’s like exhuming the skeleton of a dinosaur, and you have to rewrite the narrative. And I thought it was stimulating, and I wondered, ‘can I transcribe it in film?’ Is it possible to put into a film the importance of connecting with an artist?

Between this and Clouds of Sils Maria, you seem to really like putting Kristen Stewart on trains. Is there weight to the repetition of that image/location for you, or is it total coincidence?

I like the idea that she had to go to London from Paris, because when you go to London, you’re going underwater, and then you have the metal detectors, and then you have a lounge. All of a sudden the act of traveling to London was more interesting than maybe traveling to Brussels.

It’s like she’s entering another realm.

When I started writing it, I realized, ‘This is going to echo with Clouds of Sils Maria.’

Between Maureen and Stewart’s character in Clouds, there’s also the phantasmal quality of invisible labor in these characters’ assistant positions. Was there a reason you chose celebrity and service work as a framework for a ghost story?

I’m interested in Kristen the person — that’s what inspires me, the very specific modern energy she has, the complexity of her inner dynamics, I think it’s absolutely fascinating. But I’m not interested in Kristen the movie star, which is some kind of abstract creation. So I think that in the movies I’ve been doing with her, I’ve needed to get rid of the celebrity thing and throw the burden of it on another character. So the celebrity issue is not in the way when you’re looking at the film.

How has working with an American actress in these central roles changed the angle with which you portray globalization?

I was really interested in this ghost world, and I liked the idea of shooting in Paris with people who are hardly in Paris — who are foreigners floating on the surface of the city. She’s within the flow of Parisian life, but at the same time she’s exterior to it, because she’s just passing by. She doesn’t have roots or a history there, she’s there because that’s where her brother lived. And she’s waiting for a sign in that alien environment. In the same way that Kiera, her boss, has a flat in Paris. But she spends like five minutes a year in that flat — maybe she meets her boyfriend there and that’s the only use of the place. I like the idea of this layered modern society that’s floating on reality, and all of sudden the reality is very similar to virtual reality. I didn’t want to exaggerate it, but it’s part of modern life — and it’s interesting trying to capture it.

As someone your age, as opposed to Maureen’s, you surely have a different perspective of contemporary isolation and communication than someone who grew up without having to transition into our new mode of communication.

I suppose so — but in a sense that I am more aware of how it has transformed us. If I had to say what I feel has changed in the human experience in the last quarter of a century, it’s certainly the use of digital communication has changed us. I’m not interested in text messaging, but rather how text messaging has changed us, our perceptions of ourselves and the people around us, and how being connected with a network genuinely changes our identity. However I’m showing it in this film is informed by my own experience of being on both sides of it.
