How should you be compensated

Should be an FCC standard. You credit EVERYONE's bill who was affected by the outage. Should not be on a case-by-case basis. You have an outage that affects 100k people, you credit each account from the time the service went out till it's restored. Not just one person, but the first and last person. You don't wait for your customer to call you and ask for it. You just do it.

Satellite company Iridium hints at mysterious smartphone deal

I'm suspecting SpaceX's Starlink is making them sweat a bit. I mean, how long will it take SpaceX to shove their technology into a smartphone?

What Iridium should be doing is reduce their prices and become more competitive. Right now, their prices are a bit up there.

Insider Trading

So, this guy left congress in 2011 and in 2018, he's told by a "buddy" they are merging TMO/Sprint and he's busted for it? I don't have a problem if someone who knows tells someone info that will benefit them and it's black and white, illegal. But I do have a problem with how it looks when an acting member of congress has a spouse who benefits from the info you provide them (I know, but hearsay and is it the first time?) and said congressperson is against, even tries to kill it, a bill to make it illegal for congress and their spouses to trade stock on anything they have any influence on. One has to wonder what kind of example are they trying to make here while ignoring other situations that warrant the same charges. And for the life of them, some people can't understand why people vote the way they do.
