Wow, great for aurora bad for telecomms
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Girls just wanna have off-road access to a spooky remote mountaintop with telecomms infrastructure that looks straight out of a video game.

I think the intermediate position of “banned from the internet and global telecomms for life” should be on the table

Is it wise to make Telstra and Optus dependent on US megalomaniac Elon Musk’s Starlink low orbit satellites for remote, regional, rural telecomms? Users should not be gouged by tyranny of distance or Musk’s random reprisals. Michelle Rowland?

the religious right is way better at telecomms and modern media than any religious progressive, which definitely adds to the problem

According to 4 people with Gov. and industry info, Iranian hackers have targeted US water systems, telecomms, energy networks and other infrastructure. Good thing we stripped CISA of funding so that Donald Trump could continue throwing temper tantrums over a lost election.

We need to put Canadian telecomms througah reckoning.
Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

Telecomms corporations were so afraid of this eventuality that they lobbied for and got legislation making it illegal for municipalities & government orgs to operate telecomms as common carriers
And now they’re unhappy that they can’t treat them as common carriers

on hold with @markwarner.bsky.social's dc office. ironically, given warner is a fmr telecomms exec, the line is full of static. still better than @kaine.senate.gov, though—his dc AND richmond offices' outgoing messages are garbled, and i haven't been able to get through to a human in 3 calls

Privatising Telstra was a colossal mistake, setting us back with lost revenue source & the ability to roll out a decent national broadband & telecomms network
As usual, Liberal politicians saw short term "balance" of the budget as some kind of economic mastery
It was, as always, pure bastadry

Interviewees:
“It was done on a mass scale, like a factory”
“like a video game, because everything is done remotely” “insanely fun”

It's a pattern. Dubya got telecomms to spy on citizenry, Obama said he'd do something about it then once elected, decided he liked having that tool in his own pocket. Same with extrajudicial executions. Rs pull toward fascism then Ds say words, regrettably shrug then use those powers themselves.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration protects our telecomms industry — but in a new tech landscape, we risk falling behind.
Today the House passed my bipartisan bill with Rep. Obernolte to equip NTIA with the authority to advance innovation and address cybersecurity risks.

But also like didn’t the telecomms companies get busted like 20 ish years ago for consolidating too much into a single company due to buying up all the competition, like that’s recent ish memory but I guess nothing matters anymore does it
