(WTAJ) - Several counties in Pennsylvania lost phone service through the provider CenturyLink. Bedford County residents were impacted by this outage. Director of Bedford County Emergency Services David Cubbison said a number of 911 centers were affected. Bedford County residents with CenturyLink landlines were not able to make any calls, with the exception of 911 in some cases. Bedford 911 is still accessible for those with other providers. https://www.wearecentralpa.com/news/outage-some-landlines-down-in-bedford-county/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210122185525.185C556B@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 18:55:25 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: AT&T Stock Will Not Go Back To Its Pre-Covid High By Trefis Team We believe AT&T stock (NYSE: T) may be a decent opportunity at the present time. AT&T trades at $29 currently and is, in fact, down 25% from the level of $39 seen in the beginning of 2020. It traded at $38 in February 2020 - just before the coronavirus pandemic hit the world - and is currently 24% below that level as well. This is after AT&T stock gained 9% from its March 2020 low of less than $27. The stock has underperformed the market over recent months because of a low-decibel launch of HBO Max, along with the recent acquisition of Warner Media not likely to add much to the top line in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic hitting the movie and advertising revenues for media giants. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/att-stock-will-not-go-back-to-its-pre-covid-high-2021-01-22 ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210119205843.200A0790@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 20:58:43 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Canada: Federal Enforcement Agencies Remind Canadian Mobile App Companies Of Their CASL Obligations by Amanda Branch and Prudence Etkin Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is enforced by three federal agencies, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) and the Competition Bureau. In late November 2020, they published a joint news release announcing they had issued letters to 36 businesses in the mobile app industry in Canada advising these businesses to review their practices relating to the promotion, installation and use of mobile apps and to take corrective actions where necessary. https://www.mondaq.com/canada/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1025754/federal-enforcement-agencies-remind-canadian-mobile-app-companies-of-their-casl-obligations?email_access=on ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210122190721.04DFD56B@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 19:07:20 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: KY: Magoffin County 911 offering new Text-To-911 service By Dakota Makres MAGOFFIN COUNTY, Ky.
