The Nokia G22, developed by Finnish manufacturer HMD Global, is a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch screen and a 50-megapixel main camera. But it's the phone's outer shell and insides that make it special. The handset includes a recyclable plastic back which can be easily removed to swap out broken components. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/25/hmd-global-launches-nokia-g22-repairable-smartphone.html -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)

The sale of the cybersecurity business would add to a string of divestments AT&T has turned to in order to pay down debt following its $108.7 billion acquisition of Time Warner Inc in 2018, a deal it has since also unwound. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/att-seeks-to-shed-cybersecurity-division-sources-tell-reuters.html -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)

When you are in a competitive industry, you must first focus on the customer. Happy customers let you grow and succeed. Unhappy customers are always a struggle. The problem AT&T and Verizon are dealing with comes from the fact they are not focused on the customer. Instead, they are focused on the investor, which is a real problem in a competitive industry. As a wireless, telecom and technology industry analyst for the last three decades, I have watched and commented on their innovation, performance and how they are struggling with transformation and growth. After a disastrous move into other segments like entertainment and news with WarnerMedia, Yahoo and AOL, there is a new and growing problem which they need to resolve. https://www.rcrwireless.com/20230223/carriers/kagan-how-att-and-verizon-are-impacting-their-landline-users -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)
