Kinda reads like the turn of the century 2YK crash that didn’t happen.

Is FirstNet built on AT&T infrastructure?

And I’ll just toss this log on the fire:

the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), among other agencies, are now urgently investigating to determine whether the AT&T outages are the result of a cyber attack or

possibly something they can blame on Trump.

If it was an attack they will never let that be disclosed.

“ Is FirstNet built on AT&T infrastructure?”

That's not the company always touted for providing it. I think it's verizon

All three AM stations i switch around to were parroting the same line, “no terrorist link is suspected”.
When the news readers have the exact same script you know they are lying!

"The UK plan is to turn off all PSTN and ISDN services (landlines) in 2025. Users will have to move to a digital phone of some kind, wireless or wired to a VoIP box. After this happens, everyone’s phone will be dependent on the internet, one way or the other."

Interesting since carriers are still using that copper, and as long as you have an upstream connection in your house golly there's all kinds of shiznit you can do...

Re: 42 - Yes, FirstNet is an AT&T offering built on “their” infrastructure.

The malicious code was downloaded from a chinese weather balloon a few months back and released via tik tok this morning but now that the federal government is involoved, we'll never get the real reason. just some made-up bull$hit.

Do you won a mirror??

Don’t need a landline to operate a CB or Ham radio.
Or Morse Code.
You can set up windmill in an open area of your yard to generate electricity as well to power CB s and Ham if the grid goes down.

They can't report until they get their marching orders, and a copy of the talking points.

China and North Korea have hundreds...if not thousands...of people on the payroll who do noting but practice their hacking skills.

Funny how the spy balloon stories from last year slipped through the memory hole

Funny how the spy balloon stories from last year slipped through the memory hole

Was it spying or spewing--biological and digital viruses?

Or all of the above?
