And after seeing the hijinks Verizon is trying to pull with its latest "unlimited" cell phone plan, it seemed like a good time to check in on the other major carriers to get a sense of how limited each company's supposedly "unlimited" data plans really are. https://gizmodo.com/heres-how-limited-your-carriers-unlimited-phone-plans-r-1826871888 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <862DBC40-2DA8-4C7D-9FFE-A1EE06BA50E7@roscom.com> Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2018 16:17:02 -0400 From: Monty Solomon <monty@roscom.com> Subject: NPR: U.S. Should Divide (C-Band) to Conquer 5G Public radio is waving a caution flag as the Trump Administration pushes to open up the C-band (3.7-4.2 GHz.) for broadband, echoing comments by the National Association of Broadcasters. Its advice is to divide if it wants to conquer in the race to 5G. National Public Radio has told the FCC it should reserve some C-band spectrum for wireless broadband, but should reserve the remainder for exclusive use by incumbents, like NPR's fixed satellite delivery of its programming. https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/npr-u-s-should-divide-c-band-to-conquer-5g ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 18 Jun 2018
