Comcast's broadband customer losses improved significantly, with only 65,000 lost compared to 183,000 in the same period last year, indicating a positive shift in customer retention.

"If the router Conditional Approval process follows a similar pattern, Chinese-origin manufacturers like TP-Link may face a presumptive denial, while companies with manufacturing in allied nations like Taiwan, Vietnam, or South Korea could find an easier path."

The affordability crisis is hitting rural America hard. Across the country, broadband, electricity, and clean water remain out of reach for far too many families.

Charter Communications has agreed to modify the 'fiber-powered' claims in website and video advertising in response to a BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division (NAD) Fast-Track SWIFT challenge brought by AT&T.

Sloot is one of more than a dozen customers with whom Marketplace has spoken who say they are frustrated with the poor customer service they received from Canada's big three telecoms: Rogers, Bell and Telus.

I believe that was the right decision, protecting Canadians, not supporting a U.S.-led owner that was pretty aggressive towards Canada. The province said the kill fee for what was set to be a $100-million deal is significantly less than the contract value, and the amount paid out was part of a negotiated settlement.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) added all consumer-grade routers made outside the US to a list of equipment seen as not secure enough for use, putting them on par with foreign-made drones, which were banned at the end of last year.

Eight of the municipal networks studied beat their local provider competitors in median upload speed. Sherwood Broadband - in the town of the same name in Oregon - was the only one to beat its local competitor in median download speed.

The goal of the new USTelecom program is to show consumers, businesses, civic leaders, and policymakers why maintaining legacy copper for the small portion of end users is not an efficient approach. A key part of this is explaining why modern technology is better.

It will look to assess the impact of factors affecting investment in high-quality connectivity by 2030, identify actions to support the sector to achieve government objectives over the next decade, and assess how the regulatory framework can be improved to support investment, innovation and competition.

FCC OIS detected similar fraud in the system in a 2017 report, which resulted in the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), the Lifeline program administrator, beginning a "death check" as part of the enrollment process. However, the FCC allowed three states (California, Texas, and Oregon) to opt out of the death check process. The most recent OIG report specifies that the $5 million in fraud was all in the opt-out state

The penalty the bureau is proposing would either be three times the value of the benefit derived from Google's allegedly anticompetitive practices or, "if that amount cannot be reasonably determined," three per cent of Google's annual worldwide gross revenues. Google said that could leave it paying up to $91-billion - a sum it described as "shocking, gargantuan" and "unprecedented in Canadian history" because it is hundreds of times larger than the biggest criminal fines ever imposed.

Our iron giant is a deep space radio telescope, with an antenna dish measuring forty-six metres across, the largest instrument of its kind in Canada. Starting in the 1960s, the Algonquin Radio Observatory performed a number of cutting-edge scientific projects, including joining SETI's early efforts, in the 1970s and 1980s, to find signatures of alien life-spectrum emissions from water molecules, artificial transmitter signals. No luck.
