5G roadblock: labor
by Michael Thomas 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/29/big-barrier-trump-5g-america-089883 An interesting article on the road to 5G that they need to about double the size of the workforce to roll it out. I expect that this affects some of you directly. But one of its premises seems a little shaky to me: has the US ever led the pack rolling out new network technology? I always thought it was Japan and South Korea that were years ahead of us. In silicon valley and SF it's still very rare to see FTTH. I'm not sure why we would expect to get to 5G any faster than we normally do. Mike

Starting to Drop Invalids for Customers
by Mark Tinka 11 Jan '20

11 Jan '20

Hi all. Just to let this group know that we've started the process of activating the dropping of Invalids for all our eBGP customers. We're starting off with our Juniper edge routers. Once those are done, we'll move on to our Cisco ASR1006 routers, finishing off with our Cisco ASR920 routers. I'll let you know if anything catches fire :-). Mark.

FCC proposes $10 Million fine for spoofed robocalls
by Sean Donelan 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

On Monday, U.S. FCC Chairman Pai and Canadian CRTC Chairperson Scott made the first official cross-border SHAKEN/STIR call. https://www.fcc.gov/document/pai-scott-make-first-official-cross-border-sha… Today, the U.S. FCC announced a proposed nearly $10 million fine for spoofed robocalls. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-proposes-nearly-10-million-fine-spoofed-ro… A U.S. telemarketing firm spoofed the caller-id of a competitor to make approximately 47,610 political robocalls shortly before a California State Assembly primary election. I think this case is somewhat unusual for robocall spoofing, because the alleged perpetrator, victims, and 'crime scene' occured within the same jurisdiction. While the FCC likes to announce large enforcement actions in splashy press releases, its actually bad about collecting fines. The FCC must rely on the Justice Department to initiate separate prosecution to enforce payment from non-license holders because the FCC can't do that itself. So don't expect anyone to actually pay soon (or ever).

Wikipedia drops support for old Android smartphones; mandates TLSv1.2 to read
by Constantine A. Murenin 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Dear all, It came to my attention that anyone visiting en.wikipedia.org site from an "old Android smartphone", as Wikipedia puts it, will be redirected to https://en.wikipedia.org/sec-warning ( http://web.archive.org/web/20191217154700/https://en.wikipedia.org/sec-warn…) which, amongst other things, reads the following: #### : 中文: 维基百科正在使网站更加安全。您正在使用旧的浏览器，这在将来无法连接维基百科。请更新您的设备或联络您的IT管理员。以下提供更长，更具技术性的更新（仅英语）。 : : We are removing support for insecure TLS protocol versions, specifically TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1, which your browser software relies on to connect to our sites. This is usually caused by using some ancient browser or user agents like old Android smartphones. Also it could be interference from corporate or personal "Web Security" software which actually downgrades connection security. : You must upgrade your browser or otherwise fix this issue to access our sites. This message will remain until Jan 1, 2020. After that date, your browser will not be able to establish a connection to our servers at all. : See also the HTTPS Browser Recommendations page on Wikitech for more-detailed information. #### This is yet another assault on the less fortunate folk for absolutely no valid technical reason. Yet another assault on the free flow of information. Everyone should be able to access an encyclopaedia without any such restrictions; wasn't that the whole original premise behind Wikipedia in the first place? Why are they now precluding valid users from having access? What happened with the idea of following Postel's law? http://web.archive.org/web/20191212212040/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob… If you have an old iPad device lying around, why should you be precluded from having access to an encyclopaedia? A Google search reveals that there's already iOS users receiving these messages, too. (BTW, Google Search itself still works fine over plain HTTP — FYI — as does Bing and Baidu, but not Yandex.) If anyone is aware of a tracking-free TLS-free mirror, LMK. I cannot link to Wikipedia in good conscience anymore knowing that they block folks left and right now. C.

power to the internet
by Michael Thomas 04 Jan '20

04 Jan '20

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/25/california-power-shutoffs-089678 This article details some of the issues with California's "new reality" of planned blackouts. One of the big things that came to light with these blackouts is that our network infrastructure's resilience is pretty lacking. While I was (surprisingly to me) ok with my DSL connection out in the boonies, lots and lots of people with cable weren't so lucky. And I'm not sure how bad the situation is with cellular infrastructure, but I assume it's not much better than cable. And I wouldn't doubt that other DSL deployments go dark when power is down. I have no clue with fiber. So I guess what I'm wondering is what can we do about this? What should we do about this? These days IP access is not just convenience, it's the way we go about our lives, just like electricity itself. At base, it seems to me that network operators should be required to keep the lights on in blackouts just like POTS operators do now. If I have power to light my modem or charge in my phone, I should be able to get onto the net. That seems like table stakes. One of the things we learned also is that the blackouts seem to last between 2-3 days apiece. I happen to have a generator since I'm out in the boonies and our power gets cut regularly because of snow, but not everyone has that luxury. I kind of want to think that my router+modem use about 20 watts, so powering it up would take about 1.5kwh for 3 days. a quick google look shows that I'd probably need to shell out $500 or so for a battery of that capacity, and that's doesn't include your phones, laptops, tv's, etc power needs. What does that mean? That is a major expense for a lot of people. On the bright side, I hear that power generator companies stocks have gone through the roof. On the dark side, this is probably coming to a lot more states and countries due to climate change. Australia. Sigh. Mike

Paging anyone from ntpd.org
by Seth Mattinen 31 Dec '19

31 Dec '19

Is anyone from ntpd.org on here? You're pointing DNS at me for some reason. That zone (ntpd.org) isn't in our system. Your NS looks odd too, *.darkness-reigns.net and .nl? Is that legit? I don't know what it was before because I've never looked, but that seems off. ~Seth
