He also offered strong words of advice to the educational institutions that own the 2.5GHz spectrum licenses that T-Mobile is leasing for its 5G network. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/wcos-winnick-takes-huge-swing-at-t-mobile-you-should-be-ashamed/d/d-id/778691?_mc=RSS_LR_EDT -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

We are no doubt still a party that supports lower taxes and less regulation, and President Trump's record in those areas was the strongest we have seen from a modern Republican president. But the party also focused more on issues impacting working-class families - expanding and improving the child tax credit, bringing more jobs home through fairer trade deals, and pushing back on the woke left's radical agenda that pits all of us against each other, including our kids. An important lesson of the Trump presidency was recognizing that the threats to our liberty do not solely come from the government. The modern GOP understands the importance of reining in unaccountable institutions and reducing the concentration of corporate power. The need for a shift away from previous conservative dogma is evident in the controversies we see in the news every day. Big corporations are flexing their muscles by censoring conservatives, threatening states that pass legislation the left doesn't like, and pushing racist, anti-American diversity, equity and inclusion programs on workers regardless of their political leanings. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other Republican leaders are picking up where Trump left off in this regard, balancing the need to promote a robust economic climate with a recognition that Big Business doesn't always have our best interests at heart. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/t-mobile-merger-shows-problems-with-consolidated-corporate-power/ -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

Bring a satellite phone if you're headed to one of these locations. By Sascha Segan July 1, 2022 Driving 10,000 miles to find America's best mobile network, we hit some pretty bad dead zones - and they weren't all in the countryside. Cellular coverage in the US is much better than it used to be, and the Samsung Galaxy S22+ is really good at capturing signal. But there are still locations that are black spots for all three major carriers, usually because of some combination of terrain and restrictions on where they can build their towers. https://www.pcmag.com/news/no-signal-the-worst-cellular-dead-zones-in-the-us -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
