February 10, 2023
NATIONWIDE —Wireless workers at AT&T represented by the Communications
Workers of America (CWA) have reached a tentative agreement for a new
contract that covers over 7,000 employees across 9 states in the
Southeast region. The new proposed 4-year contract includes substantial
raises to base wages with adjustments for inflation, job title upgrades,
paid parental leave, improved overtime language, new stipends for
work-from-home agents, enhanced job security protections, additional
commuter benefits, increased severance payments, and more improvements.
During the negotiations, the workers actively mobilized to build power,
support their bargaining committee and secure a fair contract that sets
new standards for wireless retail workers, call center employees and
technicians.

Subject: T Mobile is first U.S. wireless provider in new AWS private
wireless program
By Monica Alleven
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is teaming up with wireless service
providers to provide more reliable private wireless networks than
(they say) Wi-Fi can provide, and T-Mobile US is one of them.
In fact, T-Mobile put out a press release today announcing that it is
the first U.S. wireless provider to work with AWS to deliver
customizable 5G edge compute offerings in the new program.

To those who lost Newsmax, you can get Newsmax for free using a
Roku. They have a channel app you can install and watch it to your
heart's content.
For OANN, you can watch it on your Roku using a service called
'KlowdTV'.
The cost of the service is very minute. I signed up at a time
when I got it for two dollars and fifty cents.
KlowdTV includes a number of other news and related channels as well.
If there is ever a reason to become a 'cord cutter', this could
be it.
I dropped my cable TV a long time ago. I have been using my Roku
to watch programming for years.
Regards,
Fred

Q. Why is top-posting bad?
A. Because it disturbs the normal top-to-bottom flow of a
written conversation.

Subject: Starry files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
By Monica Alleven
Starry might be down, but it’s not out. The company has filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has every intention of coming out
better on the other side.
CEO Chet Kanojia explained in a blog post that the company is doing
what’s referred to as a “pre-arranged” restructuring, which generally
means it’s working with lenders and other stakeholders to emerge
healthier on the other side.

Charter chasing more spectrum for mobile network
Cable company Charter Communications appears keen to add to its
spectrum holdings – a noteworthy stance considering the company is in
the early stages of building a small-scale mobile network that would
reduce its dependence on its MVNO partner, Verizon.
“With access to 3.1GHz band spectrum, Charter would continue to extend
the reach of our wireless network to give our customers faster speeds,
more capacity, and broader coverage wherever they go,” the company
told the FCC in a recent filing.

I don't know what has happened to Dershowitz. He used to be a top tier
legal professor, but now he's just trolling.
The actual issue is that Newsmax demanded that DirecTV pay them, and
DirecTV said no. They are quite willing to continue to carry them,
just not to pay them. As many people have noted, if you want to watch
Newsmax, it's easy to stream it for free.
