Nederland steunt in Europa een Frans voorstel om het afluisteren van journalisten zo makkelijk mogelijk te houden. Het plan houdt uitzonderingsregels in stand waarmee overheden zogenaamde spyware in kunnen zetten zonder onafhankelijke toetsing.
Also, the #US are probably an example, where the intelligence services buy mass data on people's online behavior and #Meta as well as #Twitter are big providers, not to say...
So cool, here is a little video of me unboxing this 30 year old, new old stock AT&T 5200 cordless phone from 1992-93 or so. The instructions say it needs to sit on the charger for 10 hours, so going to just let his sit for at least that long. Normally new old stock like this can sell for a lot more but for some reason I was able to do a minimum bid on this of $16 and won it. Used phones of this vintage tend to be really nasty. Of course I'll be keeping the box and all the materials so it can be packaged away safely when not in use. New batteries won't be here for at least a week. #RetroPhones#telecom#analog
Had lunch with a prospect today. When we got farther along in the conversation, he asked about my pricing. I told him, and his very next question was if I had any other pricing or discounts. Not a good sign. I know my pricing is fair and competitive, and I bring real value. If he doesn’t like the price, it’s better for both of us if he never follows up.
Okay look, sure, I'll try out just about any new platform. I'm already on Mastodon and Pixelfed, so why am I trying Calckey? Honestly, I don't know. From its name, I thought it was a social network based on spreadsheets and I was intrigued, but now I'm not so sure. #introduction
Anyhow, I'm a #telecom#lawyer in #Ottawa, #Canada, with a family you might have heard of, a dog, a breadmaker, and a #drone I can't seem to legally fly in this city.
Back in September, I stumbled across a record of background music from 1986 with a #Telecom theme, and I asked if I should buy it. Well, I found myself near that record shop earlier today, and managed to find it again (can you believe nobody else bought it?!).
IN THIS feature, I unpack some of what Malaysia expects to reap by propelling telcos into a 5G era this year.
We focus on the possible pitfalls and opportunities for telcos with insights from analysts, and industry leaders including Albert Chai, of Red Hat RoSEA with TM One, and MRANTI.
