It seems the Nepal government is making it as difficult as possible for its citizens just to benefit some businesses. From 1 January, the Nepal Telecommunications Authority was planning to implement its Mobile Device Management System (MDMS) that requires passengers landing in Nepal to register their phones, and pay taxes on their second mobiles. https://www.nepalitimes.com/latest/think-twice-about-bringing-your-mobile-to-nepal/

While the implications for Google certainly could be substantial, it seems to be far more substantial for the ones losing it: AT&T (NYSE:T) and its new satellite-TV partner. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4567094-directv-may-yet-cost-at-and-t-another-dividend-cut -- (Remove QRM to send direct replies)

You may get those glorious bars to show up on your mobile device, but the 5G home internet rollout is still a work in progress. By Trey Paul It's been a few years since 5G started rolling out, but I must confess, as we enter 2023, sometimes it still baffles me. One of the questions I'm often asked is, "My provider says I can't get its 5G home internet service -- even though when I'm at home, I can get 5G on my phone. Why not?" I ran up against this myself when I switched carriers in 2022. I went from AT&T to T-Mobile and was immediately impressed with the 5G performance on my phone. But even though I got T-Mobile 5G cell service at home, my address wasn't eligible for its Home Internet service. My immediate reaction: Whaaaat? https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/i-have-5g-on-my-phone-at-home-so-why-no-5g-home-internet/

We are looking to add a stellar attorney of equal caliber.” https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/help-wanted-goat-law-firm-seeks-associate-with-ability-to-listen-to-clients-irrelevant-facts
