Subject: Broadband ISP Frontier Just Keeps Happily Ripping People
Off With Bogus Fees, And Zero Real Repurcussions
from the do-not-pass-go,-do-not-collect-$200 dept
By Karl Bode
When you're a natural monopoly in America you get away with a
lot. Take for example Frontier Communications, which has spent the
last few years stumbling in and out of bankruptcy while dodging no
shortage of scandals, including allegations of subsidy fraud. Last
year, Frontier got a light wrist slap for fraudulently charging its
customers a "rental" fee for modems they already owned. The company
also paid a tiny $900,000 fine last year to Washington State AG Bob
Ferguson for using bogus fees to rip off the company's captive
subscriber base.

Subject: 3 Things Data Center Investors Should Know in 2021
By Matt Frankel, CFP
Data center real estate investment trusts (REITs) were some of the
best-performing stocks in the real estate sector in 2020. Despite the
overall real estate sector declining by about 5% last year, judging by
the performance of the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEMKT: VNQ),
leading data center REITs Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX) and Digital Realty
Trust (NYSE: DLR) delivered total returns of 24.2% and 20.4%,
respectively.
