It is the first law of its kind in the United States. The so-called California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (AB 375) was introduced late last week by state assemblymember Ed Chau and state senator Robert Hertzberg, in a rush to defeat a stricter privacy-focused ballot initiative that had garnered more than 600,000 signatures from Californians. The group behind that initiative, Californians for Consumer Privacy, said it would withdraw it if the bill passed. The deadline to withdraw was Thursday, forcing the state legislature to fast-track the bill through the State Senate and Assembly and get it to Governor Jerry Brown's desk by the end of the day. The law takes effect in 2020, but in some ways, Thursday's vote is only the beginning, as business interest groups work to tinker with the legislation's details before then. https://www.wired.com/story/california-unanimously-passes-historic-privacy-bill/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180701233538.GA18061@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2018 19:35:38 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon, AT&T to other cities: Don't use San Jose's small cell deployment model by Mike Dano Verizon and AT&T quickly rejected a proposal by FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel to use San Jose's approach to small cells as a template for similar deployments in other cities. Hovering over the issue is a continued push by the nation's wireless network operators to get the FCC to issue guidelines for how cities and states should smooth the rollout of small cells - including how much local regulators can charge carriers for small cell deployments. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/verizon-to-other-cities-don-t-use-san-jose-s-small-cell-deployment-model -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180701233212.GA18037@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2018 19:32:12 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon wireless service resumes across Susquehanna Valley in PA By William Bowman Verizon cellphone service has resumed following an outage.
