First off, the latest Global Market Index Analysis figures from Ookla’s Speedtest, which provides free analysis of internet access performance metrics, such as data throughput and latency, suggest that T-Mobile’s network is more reliable than either of its arch-rivals AT&T and Verizon. https://www.telecomtv.com/content/5g/t-mobile-us-maintains-its-commanding-lead-over-rivals-at-t-and-verizon-45726/ -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

The lawsuit filed Thursday, Oct. 20 by the California Department of Forestry said arcing between a 12,000-volt electrical conductor operated by Edison and a communication line assembly belonging to T-Mobile ignited the wildfire in the early morning of Oct. 26, 2020. https://www.ocregister.com/2022/10/21/state-sues-sce-and-t-mobile-saying-they-caused-the-silverado-fire-in-oc-in-2020/

They unveiled it during a company-wide zoom call on October 19. The T-Force Social Care Alliance (TSCA), is trying to model itself on the independent grass-roots-organized Amazon Labor Union and on Workers United, another grass-roots group - aided by the Service Employees - which is unionizing Starbucks stores nationwide. https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/pay-cuts-push-300-t-mobile-customer-service-reps-to-form-union/
