Originally from Minnesota, he said he used to sell internet and phone services along with his computer business, JMS Computer and Telecom. "In 2017, the higher-ups fired everybody from all of these phone companies that were running under the CenturyLink umbrella." Seel said. "So eventually I looked into this company, Talking Platforms, and they asked me to run the front end of their business and they would run the back end with all the servers and infrastructure." https://www.abqjournal.com/1335720/from-minn-to-n-m-business-owner-changes-with-times.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190707040958.GA8458@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2019 04:09:58 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Tacoma: Say goodbye to the "NW" in Gig Harbor street addresses. You can blame 911 By Jake Gregg Gig Harbor residents will have to get used to writing their street addresses without the familiar "NW."
