(WOWT) - Omaha homeowners are frustrated and angry with a utility and an unfinished project that has left them with hazardous backyards. Three months ago, Mike and Lucia Tietgen watched a CenturyLink contractor dig a hole. That hole was still open on Friday. https://www.wowt.com/content/news/CenturyLink-leaves-hazardous-hole-mess-in-frustrated-homeowners-yards-510101221.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190517184646.GA8490@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 18:46:46 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: The FCC will be Weighing in on Ridding of Robocalls What can you do to stop them in the meantime?

That should essentially block some of the billions of robocalls received in the U.S. https://www.kxnet.com/news/bismarck-news/the-fcc-will-be-weighing-in-on-ridding-of-robocalls/2007249214 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 20 May 2019
