Dearest readers: will we see you in Hawaii next month?
Our own Jon Hjembo, Brianna Boudreau, Tim Stronge, Alan Mauldin, Dave Eulitt, Shermaine Yung, and Robert Schult will be in Honolulu for the Pacific Telecommunications Council annual conference happening January 19-22, 2020.

It's happening January 19 at 2:00 p.m. Expect big questions, bad telecom puns, and—as always—lots and lots of data. Here's what we have on the docket:
