very cool initiative about to launch to build open source CCSDS stacks for LunaNet and session control. hosted by my former tribe at Goonhilly: if you're interested in #telecomms, #space stuff, #coding, protocols, etc. this might be fun for you.
Don't think "yikes, I don't know enough about CCSDS to join in", but do think "I bet nobody knows or likes this stuff, but I'm ready to maybe learn".

TeleSign profiles half of the world’s phone users

TeleSign generates a “reputation score” and sells it to various clients. TeleSign secretly received the mobile phone data from BICS, a Belgian company that provides interconnection services.

A 14.5% increase on my mobile bill (3.9%+CPI) is absolutely criminal.

How mobile companies are allowed to raise costs during a contract, is insane to me.

Maybe if you were outside of contract, as a way to get you to sign up again & stop legacy offers from lasting forever, but not during the actual contract.

This is my No.1 issue with UK mobile providers.

There is no need to build in special support as in the iPhone 14. Depending on the configuration of the satellite, it will provide messaging, voice or broadband services.

When the satellites are in place — and handsets can connect directly to them — it can change the mobile telecommunications landscape.

It will provide near-complete coverage worldwide, including in South Africa, enabling people to use satellites instead of mobile networks for basic mobile communications.

Developing nations in Africa with low mobile network penetration will benefit significantly from satellite networks.

Very interesting times ahead!!! But of course it is telecomms related, and potentially crossing international borders, so we can expect regulation, complications, and we lose the nice stuff...

A space-based revolution in mobile communications is brewing.
