A representative from the company said service was fully restored this morning for wireline customers in the greater Youngstown area. The issues were caused by equipment affected by severe cold and icy conditions. http://www.wfmj.com/story/37206185/internet-restored-to-att-customers-in-greater-youngstown -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180107160138.GA10131@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 11:01:38 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: AT&T is skipping annual appearance at Citi investor conference Lawyers for AT&T and the Justice Department were in court Friday in Washington to update the judge overseeing the lawsuit New York: AT&T Inc, which is fighting the US. Justice Department in court over its proposed $85.4 billion (Dh313.4 billion) purchase of Time Warner Inc, withdrew from an annual investor conference scheduled for Las Vegas next week. The company didn't give a reason. John Donovan, who oversees AT&T's phone and pay-TV operations, was scheduled to speak January 8 to kick off Citigroup Inc's 2018 Global TMT West Conference, but the company cancelled on December 27. He presented for the past three years at the event. http://gulfnews.com/business/sectors/media/at-t-is-skipping-annual-appearance-at-citi-investor-conference-1.2152594 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180107154538.GA10039@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 10:45:38 -0500 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: AT&T looks to sell 600 MHz spectrum to LB License Co by Colin Gibbs AT&T is looking to sell off what appears to be nearly $1 billion worth of 600 MHz spectrum after locking up all 50 states to its FirstNet offering last week. Just what will become of those airwaves is far from clear, however. The nation's No. 2 mobile network operator filed a document with the FCC indicating it would transfer its 600 MHz holdings to LB License Company, an affiliate of Columbia Capital, a Beltway-area venture firm focused on telecom and media. While the filing doesn't disclose terms of the deal, the website Facticia earlier this week reported LB Spectrum Holdings planned to raise $928 million. AT&T's full FCC filing is available at the bottom of this article. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/at-t-looks-to-sell-600-mhz-spectrum-to-lb-license-co-for-nearly-1b -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 08 Jan 2018
