All. In portrait, the entire masthead, ToC, banner, images is 25mm
wide and microscopic (60mm screen width). Vivaldi on a Pixel, Android
10. Landscape, it's 57mm (100mm screen width) and readable. Messages
display as full screen width either way.
The duckduckgo browser seems to render everything in proportions like
my desk computer. Portrait is ok but everything too small to read,
landscape is decent.
Firefox Focus seems to take me via DDG (not sure why), and omits the
masthead completely.
On desktop, screen res 1344x840, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Pale Moon and
Chrome all render ok & about the same.

I'm going to ask that you take pictures of the Pixel screen, with
various parts of the Telecom DIgest page visible, so that we can get a
better understanding of the situation. I'll publish the images at
the T-D website.
I'll also ask that anyone with web design expertise volunteer their
services to help with these goals:
- Adjust page width and height and proportions to more clearly show the online copy of the Digest when users visit it, depending on the screen resolution available to each viewer.
- Find the best compromise between the current text layout, which is simply a copy of the line lengths shown in each individual TD post, and HTML, css, or other options to automatically improve on it.
- Automate the "markup" of each day's online digest version, by using a copy of the daily digest and tools such as sed or awk.

Thanks for any help you have time to provide: I hope we'll get a
better publication and make daily tasks easier by working together.

Subject: Dish Network in talks to sell Boost to Ergen's SPAC
A company created by Charlie Ergen, the founder of Dish Network, is
now in talks to purchase Boost Mobile from Dish Network.
The transaction is not finalized, according to a new SEC filing from
CONX, the company created by Ergen in 2020. But talks are underway.
CONX “Has begun preliminary discussions with Dish Network
Corp. regarding a potential initial business combination involving
Dish's retail wireless business,” CONX told the SEC. Dish's retail
business primarily involves Boost Mobile but also stretches across
other brands including Ting Mobile and Gen Mobile.
