Verizon last week became one of the largest companies to pull advertising from Facebook and Instagram after a group of organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, the NAACP, Sleeping Giants, Color of Change, Free Press, and Common Sense, pleaded with large advertisers "to show they will not support a company that puts profits over safety." https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/news/verizon-microsoft-join-growing-advertiser-revolt-against-facebook/2020/06/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200705194014.GA2278@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2020 19:40:14 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Ahead of 5G iPhone 12, Verizon leads w/ ~500Mbps, T-Mobile wins availability By Michael Potuck Ahead of the iPhone 12 lineup debuting this fall with 5G support, Opensignal is out with a report on the major US carriers' 5G performance.

In individual filings and collectively through CTIA, the wireless operators argue that the concerns that Charter brought up in its recent petition for reconsideration (PDF) merely restate claims that were previously addressed and aren't worth revisiting. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/verizon-at-t-t-mobile-gang-up-against-charter-c-band-petition -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Tue, 07 Jul 2020
