Okay, let's talk about decency. Forget namecalling. How about a Verizon owned media group targeting a Twitter user, exposing her full name and location to the terrorists whom she has condemned online because the media group's reporter doesn't like the Twitter user. And, because Trump once retweeted her. https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/270330/verizons-huffington-post-doxxes-woman-being-daniel-greenfield -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180601161659.GA2074@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 12:16:59 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Intelsat Soars as Proposal for New Airwaves Uses Makes Progress By Todd Shields Satellite operators Intelsat SA and SES SA beam video programming from space down to TV stations and cable systems across the U.S. Now they want to let Earth-bound wireless companies hitch a ride on some of their airwaves. If regulators go along with the plan, the Luxembourg-based companies could reap billions of dollars in fees from mobile providers such as AT&T Inc. or Verizon Communications Inc., which are constantly seeking frequencies to serve the burgeoning demand of wireless devices. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-01/intelsat-soars-as-proposal-for-new-airwaves-uses-makes-progress -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180601160807.GA2016@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 12:08:07 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: AT&T and Verizon both want to run massive ad-tracking networks to rival Facebook Tracking everything that happens on your phone By Nilay Patel AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson spoke at the Code Conference today, where he took issue with the government's antitrust lawsuit blocking its purchase of Time Warner. Then he laid out exactly why he wants to buy it: to sell ads to the customers it already tracks. [Time Warner's] Turner has an amazing inventory of advertising that they just kind of sell broadly. It's not a very targeted advertising approach. AT&T has an amazing amount of data - customer data for 40 million pay TV subscribers in North and South America, 130 million mobile subscribers, 16 million broadband subscribers. We have really great customer insight on what kind of shows and media content they're viewing, where they are, all kinds of information on the consumer. Can you pair a very formidable ad inventory with a very formidable amount of data and information on the customer - viewership data and all kinds of other information - and can you create something unique just from a straight advertising platform and change how you're monetizing content? https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/30/17410942/att-verizon-facebook-ad-tracking -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <B2BB58DA-4D5B-4408-B7E8-03F53F3B7EBD@roscom.com> Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 10:07:11 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: How spies can use your cellphone to find you - and eavesdrop on your calls and texts too How spies can use your cellphone to find you - and eavesdrop on your calls and texts too Security expert: "America is the Number One target, far and away." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/how-spies-can-use-your-cellphone-to-find-you--and-eavesdrop-on-your-calls-and-texts-too/2018/05/30/246bb794-5ec2-11e8-a4a4-c070ef53f315_story.html ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 02 Jun 2018
