@bonusgrandma1 it has been a delight to work with you also over the years. If ever you're on the eastern part of the state look me up I'd love to grab a cup of coffee.

[Connie Hancock @bonusgrandma1]

An honor to have been able to work with you - best wishes on retirement!

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of ROGET'S THESAURUS crashed yesterday losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, and dumbfounded!

[Eric Carstenson @NTAERIC]

The proof happens everyday.

[VO Journey Academy @AVOsJOURNEY]

Totally agree!

[Eric Carstenson @NTAERIC]

Does a phone call offer seem too good to be true? It’s likely a scam. Don’t hang on, hang up! Ask your phone company about blocking robocalls and labeling spam calls. Learn about current scams: https://t.co/Woj3S4IY3U #FCCGov #ProtectingConsumers

It's hard to believe, but it's been 19 years ago today (right after quitting time) when an F2 tornado packing wind speeds up to 157 mph touched down in #Jackson. It caused major damage to our town and #NNTC's main office building. #NebraskaStrong #Tornado

.@FCC, you gave cable ops the flexibility to use transition funds to replace #CBand operations w/fiber services. #Fiber deployment, especially for #5G, is still important, right? @AjitPaiFCC, please don’t let programmers and satellite operators convince you otherwise. #YES2Fiber!

[Foundation for Rural Service @FRSRuralConnect]

We are saddened to share that longtime NTCA member & FRS supporter Tim Owens passed away this week. Tim was a strong FRS supporter & our 1st Executive Director. He was passionate about our mission & his contributions are immeasurable. We will miss Tim & his infectious smile.

Update: Unfortunately, today’s flyover salute is cancelled due to poor weather. We are looking at the ability to schedule a future event, and we still want to say THANK YOU to all the healthcare workers and other Nebraska heroes supporting COVID-19 response efforts.

[Eric Carstenson @NTAERIC]

Access for All Americans to #RuralBroadband is so important! We send @SenatorFischer our support as she and the US Senate Commerce Committee examines the state of #Broadband amid the COVID-19 pandemic on Wednesday.

[Tina Pelkey @TinaPelkeyDC]

NEW: @FCC has waived a rule to its Lifeline program to make it easier for individuals who have lost their jobs during #COVID19 to enroll.
