Legg Mason Concludes The Now-Obvious
Today, Legg Mason released a study concluding that LNP would, in fact, be implemented in the fall. Uhhh... No guff. Folks, you can get your LNP analysis from Legg Mason in July after Verizon breaks ranks, the CTIA gives up, congress stands in favor, and Hillary Clinton makes LNP a household issue, or you could have got it from Techdirt in April or May when we said: "I believe the carriers will test the boundaries to find out exactly where they are, and will learn that the boundary lies somewhere around November 21."Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
