@iTulga @elonmusk Most rural Americans have 0 or 1 choice for mobile. Targeting areas with existing MNO coverage and offering an alternative will be a welcome change for many. Agree branding will be essential. The US carriers know the value of bundling…look at how much they’re investing in fiber.

@elonmusk Let's build an MVNO. You + me. Outside the Starlink/SpaceX microscope.
Roam on Verizon + T-Mobile. Win rural first. Double-play it to every Starlink sub. Then bolt on Starlink D2D.
Endgame: one platform. Space + ground. Fused.
Ran an MVNO. 20+ yrs telecom. Built billions in infra.
Let's go.

@scott77309451 @elonmusk If you disagree with my logic, I encourage you to prove me wrong. I do not dispute Elon's intelligence nor do I claim to know a lot about Twitter's finances. I'm simply pointing out a logic hole in the statement. If there is a counter point to mine, I'm certainly open to it.

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@rhlytle @elonmusk I don't doubt Elon is smarter than me. I do, however, question his statement. Just saying he is better than me at math doesn't (1) make him honest or (2) make me wrong.

@Nov2022victor @JustMeMary143 @RepMTG My mother is gay. She owned a gay bar when I was growing up. I spent a lot of time at the bar as a child. I'm straight. I have a wife and two kids. You are naive.

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@MittRomney I voted for you. I know your faith. You value human life more than most politicians. You are not afraid to stand up to your party. You have the power to change this. For the love of God, do something. Inaction is guilt. Why did you run if you won’t help children?

@HeathrowAirport @InesN0608 These responses are all you need to know about the relationship between @HeathrowAirport and @British_Airways (or lack thereof).

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@ayscott11 @British_Airways Threads all over Twitter like this. Entire flights without bags. Why hasn’t something been published by @Telegraph , @DailyMailUK or @Independent

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@sama Too much of that talent isn’t white, @sama. I agree with the policy, but the likelihood of a scared, insecure populous arriving at this conclusion is tiny. Racism is in our DNA. Figure out a CRISPR/gene editor to solve racism and we might have a shot.

@Suzie_2705 @_ClaireMaxwell @paulgatehouse @British_Airways Our report shows one (of four) has been found and scheduled for arrival this morning. The other three were supposed to arrive on the same flight but still show as “searching for your bag.”

@British_Airways entire BA636 flight to #Athens departed from London without any luggage loaded. And no alert to passengers. And 70’ delay. And long queues of frustrated travelers #heathrow #BritishAirways #terminal5

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@bobv1176 @British_Airways I can’t even fathom the sequence of failures required to have an entire flight go without baggage. The whole system must have failed. I’m incredibly curious.

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

Get this. @British_Airways just flew us from LHR to ZUR. Upon arrival, we were told everyone’s luggage was left behind. Literally. Every. Single. Bag. They knew before take off and chose to send us anyway. Now waiting with 200 angry passengers so one guy can process forms.

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@British_Airways just flew us from LHR to ZUR and they literally left the entire luggage load in LHR. Not a single piece of luggage made it. They knew before we left and didn’t tell anyone until we landed. How does this happen?

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@pharohjordan1 @illyistic1 @keelyismyname @PeteThamel Makes room for more in the transfer portal. Don't get too focused on HS recruits. The immediate lift will come from transfers. They'll come because: (1) the coach, (2) plenty of scholarships (promise of upgraded talent), and (3) path to first string is clear.

@justinamash Criticism without recommendations is hot air. I’m a fan, but please offer ideas. @POTUS has been pushing vaccinations for months. What can he do if people won’t follow through? Feels like he’s been left no choice.

[Doug Lodder @DougLodder]

@karstenbondy @Jason It’s really the techno-semi-elite. You know, the ones that can afford a BMW 3 series but not private school? Oh, and these are the same snobs who protest for public healthcare yet abandon public schools. BLM unless my kids must sit next to POC in 2nd grade. Yeah, them.

@Manic_Marge Only a matter of time before folks begin adding noise making devices to electric cars so they sound like that ridiculous lowered civic that jams down our street at 3 am.
