Subject: High prices, low speeds and fraud plague U.S. aid to keep
people online
By Tony Romm
The complaints began pouring into Washington this summer, the
criticism directed at Assurance Wireless, a little-known company owned
by the telecom giant T-Mobile.
In Sun Valley, Calif., a local resident in June claimed that Assurance
Wireless sent an agent to their mother's door -- and pushed her to sign
up for mobile internet funded by the federal government even though
she didn't need it.

Ward currently Chairs the Arizona Republican Party and previously ran for U.S. Senate. https://reason.com/volokh/2022/10/23/ninth-circuit-refuses-to-quash-jan-6-committee-subpoena-for-kelli-wards-cell-phone-records/ Message-ID: <20221025232136.GA635449@telecomdigest.us> Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 23:21:36 +0000 From: Bill Horne <malQRMassimilation@gmail.com> Subject: The major space players and diverging strategies in the race to connect your smartphone via satellites By Michael Sheetz The race to provide high-speed internet from satellites is well underway - but another, more ambitious competition, to connect directly from space to devices like smartphones, began in earnest earlier this year. The potential untapped market -- which hinges on, but extends beyond, sending a text via space -- is spurring a tale of two strategies: Those putting specialized antennae in phones, versus those putting high-powered antennae on the satellites themselves. For some companies, it means billions spent on what could end up being a losing approach. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/23/space-race-to-connect-satellites-to-phones-with-apple-spacex-att.html -- (Please remove QRM to reply directly to Bill Horne) |
