My new bedtime reading has arrived…

In the UK, AC13 telephone signalling used pulses of 2280Hz to represent the digits of a dialled phone number, call progress state etc.

This training document from 1983 was pretty late in the lifespan of in-band signalling like this, which had been around for 20+ years by this point.

It’ll be fun reading this from a “what would it do if I poked $thing at $time” point of view

Gaza on verge of communications blackout due to lack of fuel

“Intentional, blanket shutdowns or restrictions on access to the internet violate multiple rights and can be deadly during crises,” said Deborah Brown, HRW’s senior technology researcher. “Prolonged and complete communications blackouts, like those experienced in Gaza, can provide cover for atrocities and breed impunity while further undermining humanitarian efforts and putting lives at risk.”
