"If we understand where the information is coming from, understand who owns it, and understand the timeline, then that programmatic approach becomes the critical path on how agencies approach that transformation from the current Networx to EIS," said Young, a 2018 Wash100 recipient. http://blog.executivebiz.com/2018/05/centurylinks-david-young-agencies-need-programmatic-approach-as-they-transition-to-eis-contract/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180530140954.GA17634@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 10:09:54 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Shari Redstone's endgame for CBS and Viacom is clear in a new complaint Combine the two and sell to the highest bidder. Verizon had flagged interest in Viacom as well as CBS, according to sources. By Edmund Lee The bitterest boardroom battle in recent memory has turned on a series of slights, verbal jousting and a physical altercation involving hands on a face that could determine the futures of both CBS and Viacom. Shari Redstone, the controlling owner of CBS, has filed a complaint against the broadcaster and its chief executive Les Moonves in Delaware Chancery court, outlining her version of events in a saga that has pit the former allies against each other. https://www.recode.net/2018/5/29/17405580/shari-redstone-endgame-cbs-viacom-complaint-merger-sale-verizon -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180530140155.GA17601@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 10:01:55 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Santa Rosa's 'pause' apparently powerless in curbing disputed Verizon installations By Kevin McCallum Mary Dahl has lived in the same home in Rincon Valley for 48 years. She doesn't have a cellphone. She doesn't have a computer. And she doesn't care to own either. So when Verizon proposed installing a wireless antenna on a pole just outside her house, she didn't take too kindly to it. "It got my Irish dander up," says Dahl, a retired child care provider who's in her early 70s. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/8376576-181/santa-rosas-pause-apparently-powerless?artslide=0 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180530143541.GA17973@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 10:35:41 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: The fight for net neutrality isn't over Net neutrality ceases to be the law of the land in the U.S. as of June 11th.
