Investors in the federal securities class action allege that they acquired Qualcomm stock at artificially inflated prices between January 31, 2018 and March 12, 2018 (the "Class Period"). They are now seeking compensation for financial losses incurred upon public revelation of the Company's alleged misconduct during that time. Here's everything you need to know about the Qualcomm class action lawsuit (QCOM class action lawsuit): https://www.zlk.com/press/qualcomm-class-action-lawsuit -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20181002014243.GA22562@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 21:42:43 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: KPN, VodafoneZiggo nets opened up to competition Dominant Dutch telco KPN and multiplay operator VodafoneZiggo must both open up their fixed network to other providers. This is what the Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM) - the Netherlands Authority for Consumers & Markets says in the market analysis decision Wholesale Fixed Access, with the regulation taking effect on October 1st 2018. "We see that these two parties are collectively dominant on the market," stated Henk Don, board member ACM. "This would enable them to use that position to increase prices for consumers in tacit coordination, or to adjust conditions to their advantage. Because both KPN and VodafoneZiggo have these options, ACM considers it fair to open up the network of both parties to competition. In this way, providers without their own network can still offer their services to consumers and businesses. This means there is sufficient competition in the retail markets with more choice and good rates." https://advanced-television.com/2018/09/28/kpn-vodafoneziggo-nets-opened-up-to-competition/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20181002025131.GA22957@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 22:51:31 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: T-Mobile Takes Merger Pitch to Sprint Employees T-Mobile US CEO John Legere and COO Mike Sievert will address Sprint employees at a corporate town hall meeting this Friday (5 October), in what Sprint CEO Michel Combes billed as an opportunity for staff to get to know their post-merger bosses. In a letter to Sprint employees, which was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and first reported by the Kansas City Business Journal, Combes noted the event will include presen- tations from the executives and "robust" question and answer session. He encouraged staff to "ask the questions that are on your mind" but warned "it is still too early in the process to answer" all queries. https://www.mobileworldlive.com/featured-content/top-three/t-mobile-takes-merger-pitch-to-sprint-employees/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20181002025929.GA23155@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 22:59:29 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Voice Phishing Scams Are Getting More Clever Most of us have been trained to be wary of clicking on links and attachments that arrive in emails unexpected, but it's easy to forget scam artists are constantly dreaming up innovations that put a new shine on old-fashioned telephone-based phishing scams. Think you're too smart to fall for one? Think again: Even technology experts are getting taken in by some of the more recent schemes (or very nearly). https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/10/voice-phishing-scams-are-getting-more-clever/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Thu, 04 Oct 2018
