Well, there is nothing new under the sun. Unsurprisingly, the few folks that did pick up on the Cyren Call story focused on the denial in bold type and completely ignored the stuff in the fine print. This by Richard Koman is typical.
OTOH, given that Cyren Call has been in a bunch to the FCC, I don’t think anyone important is fooled. Moving forward, the FCC will need to give some clear guidance on what it expects for PSST and its agents. As Morgan O’Brien observed, this will be a good thing.
I wrote a white paper! 🥳🥳🥳 If you’re even slightly interested in learning about spectrum policy this is the paper for you. It’s basically a 101 on the key issues in spectrum policy and how even technical spectrum policies can have profound impacts on the public. https://twitter.com/publicknowledge/status/1618621169749610502
In the words of Doc Brown, "the future is what you make it." @katmburke's new paper explores what we can learn from the SPTF's report and how policymakers can move towards a brighter wireless future. Read here! http://publicknowledge.org/back2spectrum
Washpo is not alone in this. Not only is it media virtue signaling ("see, we are not left leaning"), is also important to throw cold water on success of more progressive economic policies.
The Washington Post always puts a negative spin on good news for the Biden economy. See: https://presswatchers.org/2022/01/which-newsrooms-are-trying-to-make-the-economy-look-bad/ And maybe this is why: https://presswatchers.org/2022/10/the-washington-post-has-a-bezos-problem/
My @publicknowledge colleague @katmburke released a major new #spectrum white paper today: Back to the Spectrum Future, 20th Anniversary of the Spectrum Policy Task Force.

Why is this a big deal? I'll explain. /1
