President Donald Trump is accused of a gross abuse of his office, and his administration has not provided Congress the information it needs to reach the truth of the matter. No, this has nothing to do with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. Instead, it concerns the $85.4 billion AT&T-Time Warner merger that the president reportedly sought to pressure the Justice Department to block. https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/opinion/article/Trump-is-accused-of-gross-abuse-of-office-and-13784377.php -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190421142008.46740.qmail@submit.iecc.com> Date: 21 Apr 2019 14:20:08 -0400 From: "bernieS" <bernies@QRMpanix.com> Subject: What are "Short Code concatenated messages"?

My best guess is it means text messages that are longer than 160 characters which are automatically concatenated into successive SMS messages, but I'm not sure that's it. "Short Code concatenated messages" doesn't seem to be a standard telecom industry term. -bernieS <bernies@QRMpanix.com> (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190422123024.GA16604@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2019 12:30:24 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon Outage Map I've been coming across a lot of oultage reports this morning, but the site URL shown below is showing the most interesting results.
