But that didn't get him very far, and in the end $700 is still $700. https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/ask/sos/sos-two-years-to-secure-refund-of-eight-year-telecom/article_77e975a7-5fc8-5be3-a7f5-ca65d8549f25.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190218032944.GA27168@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 03:29:44 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: AT&T gets OK for tests using various frequencies in Texas lab by Monica Alleven AT&T has received the OK for tests at its lab in Austin, Texas, using a range of spectrum bands, including 3700-4200 MHz (C-Band), 3400-3600 MHz and others. The FCC just this week granted AT&T's application for the experiments. AT&T is staying mum on the suppliers of the equipment it's using, listing "confidential" under the manufacturer section of the application, although it does reveal using 12 prototype units and six other units from "various suppliers." The grant indicates the tests will commence May 1 and the authorization will remain in effect until May 1, 2021. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/at-t-gets-ok-for-tests-using-various-frequencies-including-3-7-4-2-ghz-texas-lab -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190218031835.GA27024@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 03:18:35 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Meet MA's most annoying robocallers More than 5 billion robocalls were placed last month nationwide. See who's calling the most in MA. By Jean Dubail There's nothing worse than seeing your phone buzz, picking up and realizing it's a robocall, where someone is trying to dupe you into giving up your bank and credit card information. With tax season coming up, you can expect even more of those calls to start coming. https://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/meet-mas-most-annoying-robocallers -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 18 Feb 2019
