T-Mobile promised users who bought certain mobile plans that it would never raise their prices for as long as they lived—but then raised their prices this year. So it's no surprise that 2,000 T-Mobile customers complained to the government about a price hike on plans that were advertised as having a lifetime price lock.

T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users     (arstechnica.com)

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/10/t-mobile-att-oppose-unlocking-rule-claim-locked-phones-are-good-for-users/

T-Mobile and AT&T say US regulators should drop a plan to require unlocking of phones within 60 days of activation, claiming that locking phones to a carrier's network makes it possible to provide cheaper handsets to consumers. "If the Commission mandates a uniform unlocking policy, it is consumers—not providers—who stand to lose the most," T-Mobile alleged in an October 17 filing with the Federal Communications Commission.

The proposed rule has support from consumer advocacy groups who say it will give users more choice and lower their costs. T-Mobile has been criticized for locking phones for up to a year, which makes it impossible to use a phone on a rival's network. T-Mobile claims that with a 60-day unlocking rule, "consumers risk losing access to the benefits of free or heavily subsidized handsets because the proposal would force providers to reduce the line-up of their most compelling handset offers."

Goy vey! "US vaccinations fall again as more parents refuse 'lifesaving' shots for kids"     (arstechnica.com)

The analysis didn't explore the reasons for the declining vaccination rates, but the researchers briefly speculated that the slide toward preventable outbreaks could be due to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy bleeding over to routine vaccinations, or simply backlash to vaccine mandates during the pandemic.

It's almost as if when you repeatedly lie to people about the safety of an untested vaccine, and they experience injuries or worse due to said untested vaccine, they'll be less likely to trust the people pushing other vaccines in the future.

Regardless, the researchers pointed to evidence-based strategies to boost vaccination, including school-based vaccination clinics, enforcement of school vaccination requirements, and strong recommendations from health care providers for routine vaccinations.

So now the narrative desperately pivots from "Muh covid/monkeypox/bird flu" to "But someone please think of the children!"

The demons are coming for the children. Be vigilant, goats.

Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber recently discussed the possibility of one day selling a mouse that customers can use "forever." The executive said such a mouse isn't "necessarily super far away" and will rely on software updates, likely delivered through a subscription model.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-paid-bribes-to-get-two-major-pieces-of-legislation-passed-us-govt-says/

The US government has provided more detail on how a former AT&T executive allegedly bribed a powerful state lawmaker's ally in order to obtain legislation favorable to AT&T's business.

Former AT&T Illinois President Paul La Schiazza is set to go on trial in September 2024 after being indicted on charges of conspiracy to unlawfully influence then-Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. AT&T itself agreed to pay a $23 million fine in October 2022 in connection with the alleged illegal influence campaign and said it was "committed to ensuring that this never happens again."
