DOJ should produce a log of any conversations that may have transpired between the White House and Attorney General Jeff Sessions pertaining to AT&T's $85 billion merger, the telecom giant argued Friday before a federal judge. http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2018/02/att_demands_trump_administration_logs_in_court_battle_over_time_warner_deal.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <038dff6b-8b83-3b31-c130-46be1d0430bb@horne.net> Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2018 20:11:15 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: I'm dropping GoDaddy: what's your recommendation for an alternate Domain Redistrar? I just tried to renew one of the domains I have registered on GoDaddy, but their computer profit-packed me by instead renewing an old "auction" service that I don't want, and the GoDaddy rep who answered their phone - less than one hour later - refused to cancel the charge. Please recommend an alternate Registrar. TIA.

"The president is unhappy with CNN. We don't dispute that," Justice Department lawyer Craig Conrath said at a pretrial hearing on Friday, Reuters reported. "But AT&T wants to turn that into a get-out-jail-free card for their illegal merger." http://thehill.com/policy/technology/374350-doj-trumps-dislike-of-cnn-didnt-bias-att-time-warner-merger -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 18 Feb 2018
