"The voices of America's working people are finally being heard," said CWA President Chris Shelton. "Members of Congress are starting to understand that the reason our economy has left so many families behind is that corporations have bent labor law to their will. The PRO Act restores balance to our system by putting power in the hands of working people. It will make it much easier for workers to join a union, and crack down on the dirty tricks that companies use to make workers afraid of taking collective action to improve their lives." https://cwa-union.org/news/us-house-passes-protecting-right-organize-pro-act -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200219193850.GA14649@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 19:38:50 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Kari's Law Compliance Obligations Begin February 16, 2020 Kari's Law, signed into law on February 16, 2018, requires organizations that use multi-line telephone systems (MLTS) to provide callers with the ability to dial 911 directly from any telephone in the system. MLTS are often used in hotels, office buildings, corporate and educational campuses, and other enterprises. As a result, a wide variety of organizations will be impacted by Kari's Law and must comply with its requirements. http://www.mondaq.com/Article/893986?email_access=on -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <2DCE122D-ECE4-4206-B909-4CD91657AE7E@roscom.com> Date: 21 Feb 2020 19:13:47 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: T-Mobile claims it didn't lie about 4G coverage, says FCC measured wrong Disputed speed tests found that T-Mobile exaggerated coverage in FCC filings. By Jon Brodkin T-Mobile says the Federal Communications Commission screwed up 4G measurements in a report that accused the carrier of exaggerating its mobile coverage. The FCC report "incorrectly implies, based on a flawed verification process, that we overstated coverage," T-Mobile said in an FCC filing Monday. The FCC staff report, issued in December, found that Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular exaggerated their 4G coverage in official filings. As the FCC said, "Overstating mobile broadband coverage misleads the public and can misallocate our limited universal service funds." https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/t-mobile-claims-it-didnt-lie-about-4g-coverage-says-fcc-measured-wrong/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 23 Feb 2020
