I would add that every phone company in business is being pressured to know spam/nuisance calls from all others. So if part of your business is understanding which numbers are legit, and which aren't, then you have a massive incentive to identify all the

Google is not a telco and therefore should not have any of the privileges of a telco.  A telco cannot resell your phone call history.  Your phone call history requires a court order to get access to.  I think Google is just being Russian: belligerently doing what they damn-well want to until co

That is debatable. They are an MVNO with Google Fi, and they also provide VoIP with Google Voice. They may not be a "telco" in the strictest definition, but they are most certainly a telco service provider. Not a huge leap from one to the other.

There are also roundabout ways of "selling" the data, or at least elements of it. On Saturday, March 12, 2022, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: > Never said they could sell the data, just free to use the data. But that > applies to all commerce. > > *From:* Jan-GAMs > *Sent:* Saturday, March 12, 2022

[AFMUG] OT: SpaceX PCN

2022-03-12 Thread Jason McKemie
I just received my first SpaceX PCNs. They have 71 different azimuth numbers listed in a 18ghz PCN, are they paying the FCC fees for each of these? I haven't seen a PCN like this before, I actually didn't know you could use 18ghz for this application. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.a

Are they evenly spaced? I don't think I've looked close enough at a pcn to see if elevation (angle above horizon) is specified. Makes me wonder if the PCN is set up with that many beams to coordinate a link that could be pointed in any direction. On Sat, Mar 12, 2022, 2:45 PM Jason McKemie < j.m

Whatever PCN they have to file, it has to be unique relative to fixed-position transceivers. I have no idea how they chose to handle this. Interesting they are using 18 GHz; Down here in the dense air world, I would not expect 18 GHz to reliably go more than 10 mi
