Wehe Measurement Service Launched on M-Lab Platform
The M-Lab team is excited to officially announce the launch of the Wehe measurement service on the platform. Working closely with the Wehe research team headed by David Choffnes, Associate Professor at Northeastern University, M-Lab launched the new measurement service, which is focused on net neutrality, in late 2020. The French telecom regulator, Arcep, announced their integration of Wehe in December.

Exploring NDT Data by Geography in Baltimore City
Baltimore Data Day is an annual conference bringing together “community leaders, nonprofit organizations, government and civic-minded technologists to explore trends in community-based data and learn how other groups are using data to support and advance constructive change.” This year the 11th annual event expanded to become Baltimore Data Week, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the conference’s host organization, the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance (BNIA). As a Baltimorean myself, I was honored to be invited to give a talk about the M-Lab platform and our open data, on the conference’s “Digital Inclusion Day.”
