The NARB panel also recommended that AT&T discontinue the claim that AT&T is "Building 5G on America's Best Network," or state in the body of the claim that the "Best Network" referred to is AT&T's 4G network. https://www.lightreading.com/4g3gwifi/verizon-atandt-bicker-over-best-network-advertising-claims/d/d-id/767641 ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210224174806.20D3B755@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 17:48:06 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Confronting the Digital Divide: New York City vs. Verizon By David Rosen The United States is a divided nation, one expressed in all-too-many ways as evident by the 2020 presidential election and the failed January 6th insurrection. Unfortunately, one of its most telling expressions is the digital divide, in which more well-to-do urban and suburban locals get superior if over-priced telecom services while whole swaths of urban and rural areas are over-charged for inferior services. https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/02/24/confronting-the-digital-divide-new-york-city-vs-verizon/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210224175809.81434755@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 17:58:09 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Net neutrality law to take effect in California after judge deals blow to telecom industry Decision could open the door for other states to pass open-Internet rules the Trump administration opposed By Tony Romm California may soon begin enforcing its first-in-the-nation net neutrality law after a federal judge on Tuesday ruled against broadband providers that had sought to scuttle the state's open-Internet safeguards. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/02/23/net-neutrality-law-take-effect-california-after-judge-deals-blow-telecom-industry/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 25 Feb 2021
