By Isabelle Keeler When is it appropriate for an employer to discipline an employee for their activity on social media? This is a question that employers often struggle with, due to the fact that it raises complex and nuanced issues, such as the divide between a person's private life and their employment responsibilities, and the extent to which an employer can restrict an employee's right to express their personal ideas and viewpoints. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=808250&email_access=on -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190528151037.GA15219@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 15:10:37 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: 14 individuals searched in alleged cellphone scam at AT&T store in Weirton, WV WEIRTON, WV - Fourteen individuals were stopped, and searched against the side wall of the Weirton AT&T store along 3 Springs Drive after a resident noticed two cars packed with individuals, and the plates being from Florida and Michigan. According to the viewer, who did not wish to be identified, this is the second time this week more than a dozen individuals from out of town sat for hours parked on the side of the building walking back and forth to the AT&T store. https://wtov9.com/news/local/14-individuals-searched-in-alleged-cellphone-scam-at-att-store-in-weirton -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190528150330.GA15092@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 15:03:30 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: It's Official: AT&T's 5GE Is Slower Than Verizon and T- Mobile's 4G LTE By Caitlin McGarry Updated May 26, 2019 A few months ago, I installed an iOS update that changed my iPhone XS. The cellular connectivity icon to the right of my iPhone's notch had subtly switched from LTE to 5GE. As an AT&T subscriber, I was perplexed: Since when did AT&T launch 5G? And did this new logo mean faster speeds? https://www.tomsguide.com/us/att-5ge-5g-verizon-lte,news-30163.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <2E40E4FC-DA2B-4950-9B7E-7AA7DAAB51FF@roscom.com> Date: 29 May 2019 00:21:27 -0400 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: ViSalus Trial Produces the Largest TCPA Verdict Ever?

Dr. Michael Sciandra at Fairfield University, US and colleagues investigated the impact of mobile phone use on in-store shopping behaviour. They found that those who used mobile phones in store for purposes unrelated to shopping, such as making phone calls, sending text messages, checking emails or listening to music, were more likely to make unplanned purchases and forget items they had planned to buy. The authors observed this effect even when phones were only used for part of the shopping trip, suggesting that in-store mobile phone use may consume attentional resources even after the phone is put away. https://phys.org/news/2019-05-mobile-browsing-shelves-shoppers.html ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 30 May 2019
