Unfortunately for those people living in rural areas that rely on AT&T's DSL services, your time could be coming to an end. https://www.ubergizmo.com/2020/10/att-stop-selling-dsl/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <86ft6s4he1.fsf@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: 5 Oct 2020 19:11:50 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Verizon Media Group Sued for Trade Secret Theft by Christina Tabacco Investment Science LLC brought numerous Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and similar state law claims against Verizon Communications Inc., and several of its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Verizon Media Group) last week.

By Melissa Turtinen The multi-state 911 outage that impacted Minnesota on Monday resulted in 135 emergency calls failing to be routed to a dispatcher, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety says. These calls were made to 24 public safety answer points in Minnesota, CenturyLink's preliminary review found, according to DPS. However, DPS believes the 48-minute disruption was actually longer, and "a number" of 911 calls that failed to be routed to a dispatcher were not included in CenturyLink's review. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/multi-state-911-outage-affected-135-emergency-calls-in-minnesota ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Tue, 06 Oct 2020
