U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the Southern District of New York issued default judgments and permanent injunctions last week against streaming services Israel.tv, Israeli-tv.com and Sdarot.tv, report Ars Technica, TorrentFreak and TechDirt. https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/all-internet-service-providers-in-us-must-block-3-pirate-streaming-sites-federal-judge-rules -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

The labor standards will ensure that these funds are used in a way that will create more good union jobs and require telecom companies to maintain high training and safety standards. CWA Broadband Brigade member Robin Johnson and AT&T prem techs Sean Wilborn and Britni Cuington provided an overview of the proposed labor standards and explained why this is an important issue for workers and the community at large. Each time one of the CWA members spoke, every CWA member in the audience stood up in solidarity wearing red CWA shirts. https://cwa-union.org/news/e-newsletter/2022-05-05#:~:text=Last%20Wednesday%2C%20activists%20from%20CWA,internet%20access%20to%20unserved%20communities. -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

AT&T is America's public safety communications partner. In the nearly 5 years since we were selected by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) to build and operate FirstNet, we have moved quickly to bring more coverage, boost capacity and drive new capabilities for New Hampshire first responders and the communities they serve - rural and urban. Today, FirstNet, Built with AT&T covers first responders across New Hampshire - helping to connect public safety agencies and organizations in more than 70 communities. That's why we're focused on increasing network capacity for New Hampshire public safety by deploying Band 14 spectrum - nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the federal government specifically for FirstNet. We've rolled out Band 14 on hundreds of sites across New Hampshire to provide public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it. https://firstnet.gov/newsroom/press-releases/firstnet-built-att-connecting-more-first-responders-across-new-hampshire -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ***** Moderator's Note ***** Fascination-of-the-abomination department: a dot-gov website turned into an advertisement for a profitable commercial firm. This is just wrong. Bill Horne Moderator
