Hears A putative class of consumers told the Seventh Circuit Friday that a lower court too narrowly defined "autodialer" when it found a system AT&T used to send out survey text messages didn't violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act because it didn't "randomly or sequentially" choose numbers to contact. https://www.law360.com/appellate/articles/1203730/at-t-s-text-message-surveys-violate-tcpa-7th-circ-hears- -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190928142809.GA22938@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2019 14:28:09 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Here's What 5G Means for Your Laptop and Tablet By Sean Riley 5G is finally here and all the major wireless carriers are rolling out their new networks and churning out devices for the nascent technology. Naturally, everyone is advertising the blazing-fast speeds and telling us that 5G is going to change everything. https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/what-is-5g -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <54B3328A-FBD0-4A91-8876-BED3D26EC263@roscom.com> Date: 28 Sep 2019 08:31:57 -0400 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Study Proves The FCC's Core Justification for Killing Net Neutrality Was False A new study has found the FCC's primary justification for repealing net neutrality was indisputably false. For years, big ISPs and Trump FCC boss Ajit Pai have told anyone who'd listen that the FCC's net neutrality rules, passed in 2015 and re- pealed last year in a flurry of controversy and alleged fraud, dra- matically stifled broadband investment across the United States. Repeal the rules, Pai declared, and US broadband investment would explode. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kz4g9x/study-proves-the-fccs-core-justification-for-killing-net-neutrality-was-false ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sun, 29 Sep 2019
