Sept 9: T-Mobile’s CFO says Starlink “is not a competitive threat from a wireless perspective, at all.”
Reason: physics. Satellites can’t get through walls. And Starlink has “no path to the right level of spectrum assets.”
The spectrum that fixes the wall problem is 800 MHz. T-Mobile owned it. Sold it to Grain on Aug 11 for $2.9B. Today Grain agreed to sell that exact portfolio to SpaceX.
T-Mobile stock is down ~7% after hours on a license it unloaded six weeks before calling the buyer’s plan laughable.
Elon Musk Just Made A Move That Will Change Cellphones Forever…
The FCC just cleared the way for SpaceX to expand Starlink and buy a nationwide 800 MHz low-band portfolio. Signals will be able carry through walls, tunnels and almost everywhere, effectively eliminating dead zones.
The announcement sent AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile’s stocks cratering.
Are we about to see an 𝕏 Phone?
Every NHL team already has a loss. It took 55 games.
Colorado and Anaheim were the last two standing, both 2-0. On Oct. 7, Winnipeg beat the Avs 3-2 and Edmonton beat the Ducks 5-2. That was it. Regulation, overtime, or shootout, nobody is unbeaten.
Fastest wipeout of the 30-team era. The old mark was 61 games, Oct. 10, 2009, when Atlanta and Nashville both lost at 2-0. @NHLPR @EvolvingHockey
Annual bump. @realDonaldTrump can make this happen with @StephenM help
A lot of people try to build a business around an idea that improves the user experience by two or three times. What they fail to realize is that the switching cost for most users is closer to 10x.
I have an idea Colorado: rather than cutting the pay for legitimate home health care providers, why not go after fraud and give legitimate providers a raise?
So the NYT's wordle editor's job is to wake up in the morning and think of a 5 letter word? Basically the same as my first guess?
In 1999 if you traveled you had to bring hard copies of all the music you thought you'd need for the whole trip for all scenarios. And trade extra undies for space for more CDs.

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.
@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.
This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblue-s…
I don't know what happened but 60 percent of my X feed is now Japanese people that like or want to eat American BBQ. They're not wrong, but...

Canada, with the 3rd largest oil reserves on the planet still imports 5-600,000 barrels of oil per day primarily from Saudi Arabia because Quebec refuses to agree to reverse flow an existing pipeline or allow any new pipelines so that Alberta & Saskatchewan oil can get to Irving refineries in NB.
We’ll never be an energy supper power as long as we refuse to use CDN oil first & your @liberal_party gov refuses to use the federal powers you have to overrule QC’s opposition to putting Canada first.
As Canada positions itself as a global energy superpower, partnerships between the federal government and the energy sector are essential to ensuring a strong and sustainable energy future for Canada.
In Calgary yesterday, Parliamentary Secretary @coreyhoganyyc and I met with the @OilGasCanada, who represents Canada’s oil and natural gas industry.
I also met with @Suncor Energy, one of Canada’s leading oil sands companies.
Canadian companies like these create good jobs and help ensure Canadians have a reliable, Canadian energy supply.

Without a doubt, Scott Adams will be one of the first if not the first human to be reanimated with AI (for lack of a better term.) This is inevitable, imo. At some point, I assume he knew that his daily livestream was going to lead to this, and I like to think he leaned into it.

@ScottAdamsSays announced today that his cancer will probably take him by the end of January.
So, it's time...
