The FT couldn't get a useful comment out of Verizon. https://telecoms.com/500456/verizon-thinking-of-flogging-huffington-post-report/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Wed, 23 Oct 2019
