When the DOJ filed the lawsuit in November, AT&T and Time Warner claimed as one element of their public defense that the government was "selectively enforcing" antitrust law in targeting the deal, and that it was motivated to do so because of President Donald Trump's animus toward CNN. http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/09/media/att-time-warner-lawsuit/index.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180310174601.GA6126@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2018 12:46:01 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: IBM, Oracle, CenturyLink Among Key Players in Bare Metal Cloud Services by Edward Gately The global bare metal cloud service market presents increasing revenue opportunities for partners.

While some phones still launch as exclusives for specific networks and others hit the market only as unlocked devices, the Galaxy S line has historically been widely available across the majority of service providers. And that's the case with the new S9, which is available for preorder from all Big Four carriers now and will hit major prepaid providers this coming Friday (March 16). https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-galaxy-s9-carrier,review-5208.html ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 11 Mar 2018
