Fortunately, the cellular company has taken it upon itself to remind everyone about that in a new fact sheet that curiously forgets to mention its 5G Evolution network at all - almost like it isn't a real 5G network! https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/19/18231957/att-5g-evolution-fact-sheet-lies-fake -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190220152351.GA32621@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:23:51 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Carriers Respond to Rosenworcel's Request for Information on Free Robocall Blocking Tools On January 28, 2019, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel made public letters from 14 telephone service providers in response to her request for information concerning tools that the providers make available to consumers to block illegal robocalls, including whether such tools are free of charge. In the letters, service providers outlined a variety of mechanisms that are or will be available to either block or allow consumers to screen calls. They also highlighted ongoing industry-led initiatives to further address the issue of illegal robocalls, including the SHAKEN/STIR authentication framework. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=27a6869b-dc97-40e0-bcee-1717ce3f136f -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <D0622EFE-93B3-4DEA-BD4C-0D5305025A57@roscom.com> Date: 19 Feb 2019 16:45:31 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Russia Votes to Ban Smartphone Use by Military, Trying to Hide Digital Traces Online posts, including pictures and videos, have given away the locations and activities of Russian troops, exposing Kremlin falsehoods about actions in Ukraine and Syria. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/world/europe/russia-military-social-media-ban.html ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190220151929.GA32592@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:19:29 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Special Report: Don't Be Next Computers are something most of use us in our every day lives.
