Subject: AT&T CEO says company is ahead in satellite-to-cellular
connectivity
By Sue Marek
AT&T CEO John Stankey confirmed that the operator is partnering with
AST SpaceMobile to provide connectivity in dead zones in the U.S. and
said that AT&T is about 18 months ahead of competitor T-Mobile, which
announced in August that was working with SpaceX on a similar
satellite-to-cellular connectivity service to provide coverage in dead
zones.
In a Bloomberg article, Stankey said that initially the satellite
service will be for emergencies, including providing connectivity for
FirstNet, the company's public safety network. But AT&T also plans to
launch a consumer application that would incorporate the satellite
connectivity, Stankey said.

Subject: Judge orders Ward's phone records to be turned over to Jan.
6 panel without delay
By Howard Fischer
PHOENIX — A federal judge won't delay her order giving the phone
records of the chair of the Arizona Republican Party to the Jan. 6
committee.
Judge Diane Humetewa said Friday that Kelli Ward failed to show there
would be "irreparable harm" from the release of the information about
who was calling and texting her, and who she was calling and
texting. And the judge, who last month ordered disclosure, rejected
claims that release of the information would "chill" the interest of
party faithful in communicating with her.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was temporary to hasten the 5G
roll-out. Hopefully contractors will be rolling back through with
permanent supports. If not, this publicity will probably be a kick in
the seat for them.
Either way, some people might be surprised how strong ratchet straps
are. I once drove to Washington DC from eastern Ohio in a '65 Ford
Galaxie with the frame held together in the rear with a heavy-duty
ratchet strap.
