La mystérieuse salle 641A… qui vous surveille

youtube.com/watch?v=RXF5sJch37

Au 611 Folsom Street, à San Francisco, il y a un grand immeuble. Celui d’AT&T, le plus grand Télécom américain. Il n’y a rien de bien particulier là-bas. Juste des centaines d’employés qui bossent, tous les jours, pour assurer les communications du pays.

Mais au 6ème étage, il y a un endroit étonnant. La pièce 641A. Une salle où personne n’a accès

"In 2006, a retired AT&T engineer knocked on the door of the EFF's office in a rundown part of San Francisco's Mission district and asked, "Do you folks care about privacy?" With him he carried schematics exposing the largest US government domestic spying operation since Watergate.

That person was Mark Klein, who died on March 8 this year from cancer. He was 79.

After a life working in telecoms, Klein realized he had helped the NSA wire up a listening station in AT&T's San Francisco switching facility - the infamous Room 641A - that was being used to illegally spy on Americans.

The evidence he gathered and shared led to two lawsuits that exposed the extent to which US citizens were being spied on by their own government in the post-9/11 world. Klein faced legal pressure, death threats, and the constant fear of ruin, to get his story out and tell the public what was going on. But Klein regretted nothing."

Question for everyone with regards to mobile carriers, specifically Spectrum.

Anyone out there using Spectrum Mobile as their mobile carrier of choice?

I'm currently using AT&T but I'm just wanting to know how the service is with Spectrum compared to the major carriers such as AT&T and Verizon.

I know Spectrum uses Verizon towers which isn't necessarily a bad thing but just wondering how things are you in area if you use Spectrum.

Is your plan with Spectrum cheaper than it was with a major carrier?

Are you on the Unlimited plan or the Unlimited Plus plan with Spectrum?

The more information you can provide, the better. I'd really like first hand knowledge as much as possible.

A breach of AT&T that exposed “nearly all” of the company’s customers may have included records related to #confidential FBI sources, potentially explaining the bureau’s new embrace of end-to-end #encryption.

OK.
You really should share the MVNO, so we can join in.
Consumer Cellular is my senior centered choice.
But WiFi calling doesn't work on my Fairphone 5. Even with #calyxos
I blame #att

CC finally added Apple watches, good for tracking falls for my mother in law.
My mother liked Apple watches.
Are Apple watches really a senior thing?
