Worse those with Apple iPads now have to pay for a Mobile Share plan that includes unlimited voice minutes (unlimited calling) a feature they won't even be able to use on the iPad -- a device incapable of placing or receiving traditional phone calls as its not a cellular phone like the iPhone. AT&T customers have to pay for a feature we can't or won't even use to use a feature we want to use. https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/7022024192.pdf

I know that you are probably unaware if your email client - Outhouse, Thunderbyrd, whatever - uses Quoted-Printable encoding. Please take the time to find out, and to disable it, when you are sending a post to the Telecom Digest. Please don't send your posts from an email client that employs "Quoted-Printable" encoding! Please! Q-P emails have to be decoded by hand, and I'm typing and working and eating and doing everything else one-handed right now. I need your help to keep the Digest going! (Some QP remnants were changed to assure visability if your email client tolerates QP input) Bill Horne Moderator

I thought Centurylink was the ilec in Louisiana. Where does AT&T fit in? 2. CAF II confuses me: I thought that was settled a while back. What does "CAF II eligible" mean? 3. Likewise, "Tech remote-area CB's:" what are they? Thanks again.
