Clinton criticized the company on Wednesday for moving work overseas, saying that good-paying, secure jobs are essential to preserve the country's struggling middle class. http://nypost.com/2016/04/15/hillary-clinton-supports-verizon-picketers-and-their-bosses/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <B490B23D-E63C-48FC-97C6-1181466C26C7@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 01:27:30 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: HTC 10 review: HTC builds the best Android flagship of 2016 HTC 10 review: HTC builds the best Android flagship of 2016 http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/04/htc-10-review-htc-builds-the-best-android-flagship-of-2016/ ***** Moderator's Note ***** I don't usually publish product reviews, but I'm thinking of trading in my Samsung Galaxy 0 for one of the newer models.

In that ruling, US Magistrate Judge James Orenstein concluded that what the government was asking for went too far. In his ruling, he worried about a "virtually limitless expansion of the government's legal authority to surreptitiously intrude on personal privacy." arstechnica.com ------------------------------ Message-ID: <1931E4B8-39CE-444A-AA66-A83FF413B1C0@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 01:31:33 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: House votes to undermine net neutrality rules, and ISPs cheer House votes to undermine net neutrality rules, and ISPs cheer Vote to ban "rate regulation" would limit FCC's consumer protection powers. by Jon Brodkin Apr 15, 2016 http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/04/house-passes-gop-bill-to-undermine-fccs-net-neutrality-authority/ White House threatens veto of GOP's anti-net neutrality bill "No Rate Regulation" legislation would strip FCC of consumer protection powers. by Jon Brodkin Apr 13, 2016 http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/04/white-house-threatens-veto-of-gops-anti-net-neutrality-bill/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <7BD6AEA2-FA33-4E9D-83E9-A2D8D5AA659D@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 01:33:40 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Verizon is actually expanding FiOS again, with new fiber in Boston Verizon is actually expanding FiOS again, with new fiber in Boston Verizon stopped expanding FiOS years ago, but [the company claims] that changes today. by Jon Brodkin Ars Technica Apr 12, 2016 http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/04/verizon-is-actually-expanding-fios-again-with-new-fiber-in-boston/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <16B57959-5098-4F10-A26E-62C739E06CD9@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 01:39:02 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: First came the Breathalyzer, now meet the roadside police "textalyzer" First came the Breathalyzer, now meet the roadside police "textalyzer" Drivers in accidents could risk losing license for refusing to submit phone to testing. by David Kravets Ars Technica Apr 11, 2016 Under the first-of-its-kind legislation proposed in New York, drivers involved in accidents would have to submit their phone to roadside testing from a textalyzer to determine whether the driver was using a mobile phone ahead of a crash. In a bid to get around the Fourth Amendment right to privacy, the textalyzer allegedly would keep conversations, contacts, numbers, photos, and application data private. It will solely say whether the phone was in use prior to a motor-vehicle mishap. Further analysis, which might require a warrant, could be necessary to determine whether such usage was via hands-free dashboard technology and to confirm the original finding. arstechnica.com/ ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 17 Apr 2016
