The site outage.report publishes reports and comments from its readers: take them with a grain of salt and maybe some grain alcohol. They are an interesting peek into the other side of the customer-service efforts of some major telecom providers. https://outage.report/us/centurylink https://outage.report/us/verizon https://outage.report/us/att -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20181116054905.GA8620@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:49:05 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: When Trump Phones Friends, the Chinese and the Russians Listen and Learn By Matthew Rosenberg and Maggie Haberman Washington - When President Trump calls old friends on one of his iPhones to gossip, gripe or solicit their latest take on how he is doing, American intelligence reports indicate that Chinese spies are often listening - and putting to use invaluable insights into how to best work the president and affect administration policy, current and former American officials said. Mr. Trump's aides have repeatedly warned him that his cellphone calls are not secure, and they have told him that Russian spies are routinely eavesdropping on the calls, as well. But aides say the voluble president, who has been pressured into using his secure White House landline more often these days, has still refused to give up his iPhones. White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from discussing classified information when he is on them. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/24/us/politics/trump-phone-security.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20181117003042.GA10652@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:30:42 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Buckeye Lake chief: Speeding tickets have been unlawful since 2013 By Maria DeVito BUCKEYE LAKE - Every speeding ticket written by the Buckeye Lake Police Department since 2013 has been "unlawful," according to the department's chief. https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/news/local/2018/10/25/buckeye-lake-speeding-tickets-have-been-unlawful-since-2013/1749933002/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <6lnsuddgfcfi2le81am74bie8ee7sv6ils@4ax.com> Date: 16 Nov 2018 01:14:26 -0500 From: "Ron" <ron@see.below> Subject: Re: Robocall relief: New $100 million system may help frustrated consumers Pete Cresswell" <PeteCress@invalid.telecom-digest.org> wrote: >What I am seeing last couple of months is a large increase in spoofing >numbers on the same exchange. > >I dutifully feed them to NoMoRobo's web page, but have to wonder if they are >spoofing on a call-by-call basis and maybe reporting is futile. > >Anybody have any insights on this? I think you're punishing the victims by reporting those numbers to Nomorobo. I also get numerous robocalls purporting to be from my exchange. I have never noticed a repeated number. Your idea about a call-by-call basis seems likely correct. -- Ron (user telnom.for.plume in domain antichef.com) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 17 Nov 2018
