Subject: VA: Ting Internet to Start Serving Alexandria Residents
Ting Internet, by Tucows, will challenge Comcast and Verizon for customers.
For years, most Alexandria residents have had one choice for high-speed
Internet service: Comcast.
For at least some of those residents, a new option is arriving soon.
A company called Tucows is bringing its Ting Internet service to
Alexandria in the coming months. The company will be able to provide
service to "tens of thousands" of locations in the city, according to a
report by Fierce Telecom. "The deployment will tee it up to challenge
incumbent cable provider Comcast as well as Verizon Fios, which is in
the process of upgrading its copper lines in the area to fiber," the
website reported.

Subject: Conservative shareholder-activists turn up pressure on woke
companies
By Sean Salai
Conservative shareholder-activists have turned up the pressure on what
they say is liberal-leaning "woke" corporate culture with several
proposals at annual boardroom meetings.
The activists said they felt buoyed by responses to moves by Disney
and Kohl's. Disney's earnings were worse than expected in the first
quarter as Florida stripped the company of preferential tax benefits
because of its transgender political lobbying. Kohl's shareholders
rejected a liberal investor's push to replace up to 10 board directors
at their annual meeting Wednesday.
...
Meanwhile, shareholders at Verizon, ConocoPhillips and CVS Health
voted down proposals aimed at exposing liberal political activism on
issues such as racial hiring quotas and Chinese communist business
ties after their boards of directors recommended against them.
"The more newsworthy aspect for proponents like us is that we have the
opportunity to speak to directors and top executives directly at these
shareholder meetings," Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate
Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center, said in an
email.

Subject: Financial Times is upset at Vodafone
Is there a company more persistently irritating than Vodafone?
Remember the 14 year faff waiting for something to happen with Verizon
Wireless, followed by the asset trade with Liberty Global that actively
resisted both explanation and logic? From Japan to India … from
quad-play to towers … from debt-funded dividends to a Beckettian wait
for consolidation … how much time was wasted putting this stuff into
sum-of-the-parts calculations? How much unproductive labour has been
required to sustain its undulating mass of partnerships and joint ventures?
Even the spelling is needlessly perverse.
