As a result, they’re asking the White House to step in and extend prohibitions on some flavors of 5G around airports. And that could have far-reaching implications for a variety of companies, including T-Mobile and UScellular. So far those two companies have managed to remain out of the issue, in part because their C-band holdings won’t become available until next year. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-uscellular-may-get-roped-into-5g-vs-airline-battle/d/d-id/781810 -- (Please remove QRM to use the "from" address)

I really have no idea how to describe how little I’ve wanted to deal with anything carrier side for the past decade, it’s been an ordeal and the hope was that now that they managed to get the last of the Sprint taint off of the account. To be clear, I suspect when my account was hacked a decade ago that Sprint security put something on there that messed up everything. That or the Carrier Integration with Google back when that worked. It took multiple departments and ticket and about two weeks to get my account ready to transition as front line workers were just getting error messages that nobody had run across. https://pocketables.com/2022/11/day-2-of-being-t-mobile-magenta-issues-1-2.html

By David Lumb Don’t know if your area has broadband internet or 5G yet? On Friday, the Federal Communications Commission released new broadband maps showing where high-speed internet access and mobile 5G service are available across the US. The FCC’s prior coverage maps have been inaccurate, showing that Americans should have been able to get online with higher speeds when they weren’t actually covered by internet service providers. Or if they were, they were getting far below the 25Mbps download speed threshold that the FCC established for broadband internet. With these new maps, Americans can see internet speeds they can get at any street address in the country. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/you-can-finally-spot-internet-coverage-gaps-with-the-fccs-broadband-maps/
