The FCC wants United States citizens to provide a valid ID to get a phone number.

I am providing multiple links to tell the whole story.

The FCC Wants Your ID Before You Get a Phone Number | SGT Report

Our technology review on the transition to #postquantum #cryptography in #telecommunications just came out. :) Big transition, somewhat happening in the shadows of loud hype things, but with also many interesting developments. It's like cryptography's new and fresh again after decades of being delightfully still. ;)

Migration to quantum-resistant cryptography

Post-quantum cryptography is the comprehensive, widely endorsed path to quantum-resistant telecom security.

Вспоминаются бодрые заявления того же Била Гейтца о бурном развитии машинного обучения (ИИ). Утверждающего, что проблема спама в e-mail этим самым машинным обучением (ИИ) легко решаема. И якобы максимум пара-тройка лет осталось до того, как этот самый спам исчезнет навсегда, благодаря интеллектуальной фильтрации входящих писем на почтовых серверах? Когда это было? Вроде уже лет 20+ назад?

И машинное обучение с тех пор кардинально изменилось шагнув в нейронные сети, а потом и глубокое обучение нейронок, а теперь вот наступила эра генерирующих нейронок с ИИ-общего назначения.
Так в чём проблема? Коммуникации забиты спамом — как телефонные звонки, так и мессенджеры и всё та же эл.почта. Люди опасаются, что ИИ заберёт их работу, тот самый ИИ, который не в состоянии решить эту вот беду со спамом?!

Технократы сделали ставку на машинное обучение (ИИ тогдашнего времени), а бизнесмены на развитие социальных сетей. Понимая, что людям хочется фильтрации коммуникаций и контента, через социальный граф и рекомендательные алгоритмы. В результате технократические компании развивались в разы медленнее, чем Facebook, Google, Netflix & etc.

There are plans to formally retire 3G networks in South Africa, but 2G lives on, and probably will for quite some time: https://techcentral.co.za/why-2g-will-outlast-3g-in-south-africa/280940/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica

Why 2G will outlast 3G in South Africa

The sequencing reflects how stubbornly low-end devices and machine-to-machine sensors remain tied to legacy connectivity.

Aaaaaand now we have a baby little ADSL DSLAM in the CO homelab :3

ET&Y is now offering very competitive rates for home internet services (limit 12 customers only, actual speeds may vary).  

Really really need to pick up a telecom rack to stuff all this year into; the table is getting cramped and we don't even have the DSX patchbay, HDSL mechanics shelf, or -48V plant supply in there yet.

Thanks to the dopey (or corrupt) politicians who sold Aotearoa's publicly-owned in 1990 to US corporations (Bell Atlantic and Ameritech), we almost ended up with 2 parallel landline infrastructures. Fortunately a subsequent government fixed that, breaking up Telecom NZ into a retail company (Spark) and an infrastructure company (Chorus).
