Subject: [telecom] The T-Mobile / Sprint merger hasn't created jobs -
it's cut thousands
By the end of 2021, T-Mobile was already down 5,000 jobs, and now it's
laying off more workers
By Jasmine Hicks
The Wall Street Journal reports T-Mobile's engineering and network
operations teams are experiencing waves of layoffs, which have
included managers and executives, on top of thousands of jobs
eliminated by restructuring after the company merged with Sprint in
2020. T-Mobile execs promised then that the merger was “all about
creating new, high-quality, high-paying jobs, and the new T-Mobile
will be jobs-positive from Day One and every day thereafter.”

Subject: [telecom] CWA Exposes Frontier Communications' Dangerous Use of
Subcontractors in New Half-Million Dollar Ad Campaign
Thursday, August 25, 2022
Just over a year after emerging from bankruptcy, Frontier is
increasingly outsourcing good union jobs to unregulated subcontracting
companies, putting public safety at risk.
Communications Workers of America members across California win
agreement from Frontier after striking over the issue.
Nationwide-
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has launched a
half-million dollar advertising campaign exposing Frontier
Communications' increasing and dangerous use of subcontracting
companies to perform critical broadband infrastructure work. Frontier
management's aggressive attempt to displace its union workers and
squeeze out good union jobs following the company's emergence from
bankruptcy in April 2021 is resulting in damage to communities amid
botched rollouts.

*************************** Moderator's Note ***************************
The three ads shown on the CWA site are all the same message, with the
same actors, each aimed at the voters of different states. The only
difference is that the announcer names the different states
(Connecticutt, Teaxa, and California) but the remaining verbiage is
the same, and the graphics show outlines of the different states, with
arrows pointing inward and lots of stick people shown outside the
states' boarders.
The ad for Texas is problematic, however: the announcer says "From
other states," but the graphic shows an arrow which starts in Mexico
and crosses the border into Texas, and there's an arrow from the Gulf
of Mexico, where the graphic includes lots of boat outlines as well,
thus implying that immigrant labor is being brought in to the Lone
Star State by both land and sea to compete with all the Red Blooded
'Muricans whom won't be employed as a result.
I like the CWA, but this one fails the smell test.

Subject: [telecom] Monthly TCPA Digest - August 2022
by Russell H. Fox, Jonathan P. Garvin, Joshua Briones, and Esteban Morales
We are pleased to present our latest Monthly TCPA Digest, providing
insights and news related to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA). In this issue's Regulatory Update, we discuss a Public Notice
issued by the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) seeking comment on
two recurring obligations relating to the FCC's caller ID authentication
rules, which were both imposed by the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal
Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act). The WCB seeks comment on
extensions for the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN call authentication
technology that it granted in 2020 and the efficacy of STIR/SHAKEN at
eliminating unlawful calls. We also cover a Memorandum of Understanding
between the FCC and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) that calls for the two agencies to provide mutual
assistance in their robocall enforcement activities.
