I am not the one who writes - that would be my sweet dad, Shirrell Hipp, who passed away last year. But I am sick of these huge companies who do what they want and not what they should - or what they promise consumers. And we have no recourse to change things. My phone service with CenturyLink has been out for the past 5 weeks. It was a crapshoot when you pick up the receiver as to whether there would be a dial tone or not. Mostly not. https://www.baxterbulletin.com/story/opinion/2019/12/03/letters-editor/2589979001/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20191207183535.GA25172@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2019 18:35:35 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Cook County, MN says it has 911 redundancy now COOK COUNTRY, MINNESOTA December 6, 2010 (LSN) Much of government work is transactional, process oriented and somedays down right mundane. But within this structured framework there is always the opportunity for creativity, collaboration and leadership to improve the way we deliver services. 2019 has been an eventful year filled with opportunities and challenges, some of which are highlighted below. 911 Service redundancy was finally achieved through a partnership with CenturyLink, The Northeast Service Cooperative, True North Broadband, and the State of Minnesota, assisted by Cook County MIS, the Sheriff's Office, and Emergency Management. The result: no more County-wide 911 outages! https://lakesuperiornews.com/News/Minnesota/the-year-in-review -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20191207184205.GA25308@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2019 18:42:06 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Mich.
