Licensor Off youse go, then

This time, we're looking at the, at best, minimal oversight of telcos' compliance with their obligations to block phones that they identify as 000/112-incapable. And what it all means from antitrust and community welfare standpoints.

Stakeholders have to get the regimes for device testing right, especially for devices' camp on.

I moved @atechnolegalupdate.substack.com from Medium to Substack this year.

Humbled by y'all's ongoing support.

Especially from those of you who've backed me since I started the blog in January 2021.

It's been another fun year of cogitation.

Cheers, everyone!

My latest piece looks at what happens when it doesn't.
