"T-Mobile subscribers face future price hikes as rival goes bankrupt Without an aggressive fourth competitor, T-Mobile can raise rates without having to worry about getting undercut by Project Genesis and Boost Mobile. That leaves a three-carrier oligopoly where AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon copy each other's moves. If one raises rates, the others follow knowing that there is one less competitor that consumers can turn to." share.google/btbtSe20D6VvLz8…

Many people in crypto have forgotten that decentralized networks are not companies, they are non-sovereign stores of value.
Not all crypto networks optimize for decentralization, which is pragmatic. Those are/should be valued like companies.

This week
🇷🇺Putin banned VPNs again. Still won't work.
🇩🇪Germany wants a state-approved feed. Called it Public Value.
🇬🇧UK asked 80,000 people. Ignored them anyway.
🇮🇷 Iran opened the internet, a little bit
Iran opened the internet a little.
That's the best news this week.
That's where we are.
I love @AltheaNetwork and what it makes possible.
Resilient, Sovereign Networks. Community integrated value. Connected people.
We have to build a more resilient and open internet, and it has to start at infrastructure.
⌚️ #Iran's internet blackout has just entered its 84th day with international networks largely cut off for over 1992 hours.
Each passing hour widens social and economic divides as any contact with the outside world is gated by status, compliance and privilege.
It's important for human rights that we build infrastructure that is resilient to this level of control. Access to information and association is critical to what defines freedom.
😶 Metrics show that #Iran's internet blackout is ongoing into its 79th day in its twelfth week. The mass-censorship measure has reshaped the nature of civic participation with information controls being used to relegate the general public to mere observers in their own country.
In Arizona and New Mexico over the next few weeks supporting @Hawk_Networks broadband builds, built on the @AltheaNetwork platfrom. Happy to grab ☕️ and talk all things sovereign, resilient networks if you are in the area!
Resilient and sovereign infrastructure protects access to information and resources globally.
🎓 The #Iran internet blackout has entered its 62nd consecutive day after 1464 hours, with the general public broadly cut off from the world.
Beyond human rights and economic impacts, the measure severely hinders schooling and higher education by decimating access to knowledge.

Attention anyone staking @namada @aztecnetwork @cosmos @_atomone @cyber_devs @oraichain @gravity_bridge @AltheaNetwork cashback is here! Tonight we make the first snapshot. Harvest next month! 2% if your old or new and 5% if you redelegate!
Doesn't look like much, but this is an Arizona ISP purely built on the @AltheaNetwork with the L1 blockchain settlement - built to be flexible, performant and resilient.
Built to be sovereign.

🗓️ The internet blackout in #Iran is now on its 55th consecutive day as connectivity flatlines at 2% of ordinary levels after 1296 hours.
Restrictions on global network access continue to hinder online commerce, payment systems and digitally dependent sectors of the economy.
I think this is actually the salient take away, until the industry itself creates standards bodies and peer review nothing will change.
The internet is more than hardware. Glass to your door or satellites in the sky do not guarantee connectivity and access.
Build sovereign, resilient networks. Build decentralized, build global.
🗓️ #Iran has now been isolated from the global internet for seven weeks with the digital blackout entering its 50th day after 1176 hours.
Metrics show the measure, unprecedented for a connected society, continues to the detriment of most Iranians' livelihoods and human rights.

The SEC just gave DeFi frontends a meaningful signal: if you're not custodying assets or executing orders, we won't come after you. Most detailed safe harbor yet. But it's not a rule, it expires in 5 years, next administration can pull it, etc. More substance than we’ve seen in a staff statement. Still not a rule. Still expires. But it’s solid progress in the right direction.
