Subject: T-Mobile's latest 5G spectrum purchases stuck in limbo
By Mike Dano
According to the financial analysts at New Street Research, T-Mobile
isn't able to access the 2.5GHz spectrum it purchased in an FCC
auction last year. However, the analysts argued the delay is only
temporary, and T-Mobile will likely get access to the spectrum
licenses by the end of this year.
"We don't think T-Mobile will be able to get a court to force the FCC
to issue the licenses prior to the auction authority being
reestablished," the analysts wrote in a note to investors over the
weekend.

Subject: Vintage Teletype Machine with table +etc
Anyone looking for a Teletype machine should check this one, being
sold on Ebay for a "Buy It Now" price of $400; the selling will also
consider offers.
One of the labels on the side of the table says something about
"TELEX," so this *MIGHT* have been a TELEX machine, and would require
different gears for Ham Radio if so.
It's "Pickup Only," in Pennsylvania.
Here's the Ebay URL: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134457058517

Note Verizon *is* engaged in an aggressive campaign to migrate POTS
users in FIOS-fed neighborhoods over. Their catch phrase is "Fiber is
the only Fix." I was forced off two years ago.
The reason, as told to me by a recent ex-employee, is money. Not just
their decaying, East Germany-ish, level of outside copper plant, but the
5ESS's feeding those POTS users. They may be a sunk cost, but they have
{significant} ongoing license fees on their software aka "Generic".
And as the number of POTS users declines, the $$/user goes up and up.
If/when you get VZ phone service over FIOS, which I call "FOPS", no 5E
is needed. I was told all FIOS calls in the extended DC region go via a
Ribbon/Genband switch in Reston VA. That's a lot of bits.
(Note there are two flavors of FOPS. One is regulated, tariffed,
service. The other is from some {allegedly} arms-length VZ subsidiary
called "Digital Voice" I believe. Or you can just buy data-only FIOS,
and port your number to Callcentric or another VOIP carrier. That's the
route I went.)
The unanswered question is what shall VZ do about neighborhoods lacking
FIOS? In Maryland at least, they ARE required to provide service. Other
states, they have escaped from that commitment.
We see they are deploying FIOS in some new areas, but I wonder how long
before they start claiming 5-GeeWhiz cellular service, with VZ's
cell-phone box screwed to your wall, shall be your only choice. I'm
aware of someone in central Virginia already so served.
