Ain't that the truth.

So, start investing in the stocks they are and ride their coat tails in as well.

You won't stop them unless you kill them, then you are done, so might as well get rich off them!

Wow, this is very informative. AT&T won the government bid for a trial run of the 5G airspace before it was auctioned to the public. They are also using it for the E911 system. I've worked in the phone offices and on towers. The way this works is that one company owns one side of the switch, and the phone carrier company owns the other side of the switch (terminating). For example, in a Verizon phone office, Motorola might own the termination side of a Siemens switch (now Nokia). AT&T and Verizon are sharing cell towers in the mid-west, and probably other places. They go in on the halves for operation and share the structure. T-Mobile has recently entered the mix, and what was once an AT&T tower now houses a T-Mobile signal as well. They're sharing costs and splitting profits amongst themselves for customers when it's being terminated by the same signal and tower just by using different equipment that the phones run on. You did a great job explaining everything on this article. The whistleblower is a hero. The Patriot Act should be abolished and all domestic communications should be protected from being invaded upon. It's like a world party line where anyone can hear. There is no privacy anymore in America since Bush did what he did concerning communications.

This was insightful as well. Shared risks/rewards. Lots of consolidation and new partners made in the telecoms arena.

I wanted to maintain a paid sub of you.

However, I am not really in a good financial position.

I paused it until things get better. I hope you understand.

I'm so far behind on things... but the way things are, who knows if those worries will matter.

I'm so thankful for what you have done already. Don't worry about it at all. You've done so much by being here from the beginning and sharing my content with your viewers. I am forever grateful, and thankful you thought of me to do it as long as you did. You're a true friend and blessing, and I hope things get so much better for you because the Lord will provide. He knows what we have need of before we ask him. They matter to him if they matter to you, and he is going to take care of us no matter what happens. We have nothing to fear if we trust in him.

Excellent piece, Jason. The whole Bush family going back to Prescott has rubbed me the wrong way after I voted for Dubya and he passed the Patriot Act and invaded Iraq. Dirty. All of them.
