FCC: Network Traffic Has Increased with Spike in Suburban, Exurban, and Daytime Usage

[Sean Donelan]

Chmn Pai Hears Update from Broadband and Telephone Service Providers
https://www.fcc.gov/document/chmn-pai-hears-update-broadband-and-telephone-service-providers

[...]
The Chairman heard from providers across the country who
reported network usage had risen about 20-35% for fixed networks and 
10-20% for cellular networks in recent weeks, with increased demand in 
suburban, exurban, and residential areas and during daytime hours. In 
general, company representatives reported that their networks were holding 
up quite well, and they expected that resilience to continue.

Re: FCC grants WISPs temporary 5.9 GHz spectrum access

[Josh Luthman]

Jared,

6 GHz is already doing ptp links under part 101.  Has been for many years.

This opening up is to make it more useful in other ways, but will still
take second priority over the already existing ptp.

There was a time when having a different mobile phone was the thing. The
smaller, the better.

Then there came a time when running a different OS on your phone was a
thing. Symbian or Windows Mobile or BlackBerry.

Then came smartphones in 2007, and owning an iPhone was a thing.

Then there was a time when having certain apps was a thing.

Then Samsung and Google hit the scene and owning one was a thing.

Then there was a time when having a certain version of Android was a thing.

In 2020, nobody cares what phone you have, how large or small it is,
what apps you have or use, or how long your battery lasts. In this
hyper-connected world, all most people care about is utility and value.

If 2 billion people of God's green earth can all coalesce around
Facebook and WhatsApp, how different are we, really?


> Yes, but the solution to that is education.

In this new economy, the concept of how the kids learn is changing fast.
While we want to force many of them to follow the traditional schooling
system we all went through, I'm not sure that's the right approach
anymore. Information is a commodity now, and the kids will learn the way
they want to, formal schooling or not.

So yes, education is certainly how you fix this. But how do you
effectively get that message across to a set of people who will only
tune into what they like, when they like, and find all your rules boring
and overbearing?

When this lockdown is over, I'll randomly ask the kids, street vendors

I'll let you know what I find :-).

I'm delaying all that for as long as I can.

For the moment, they are reasonably sociable human beings, whose first
words when they enter someone else's home aren't, "What's the wi-fi?"

I'll enjoy these moments. This hyper-connected world is only going to
get worse.

I like studies and papers and all that, but I also have a healthy dose

I'm not always right (if ever), but I don't strive to be. I'm just

New AS Number Blocks Allocated to the RIPE NCC

[Nikolas Pediaditis]

Dear colleagues,

On 1 April 2020, the RIPE NCC received the following AS Number blocks from IANA:

210332-211355
211356-212379
212380-213403

You may want to update your records accordingly.

All allocations of AS Numbers made by IANA to RIRs are listed here:

So it shall be done.  Nominations accepted at:

nanog-spamm...@firemountain.net

Of course, someone/something is going to harvest that address
and self-nominate, but that's a feature, not a bug.

Send either references that I can check by going through my archives
of this list, i.e. grep'able strings or send messages themselves,
preferably quoted with full headers.  I'll figure out how to publish it.

Note that this isn't a high priority at the moment, so it may be
a while before I plow through what's received.

Re: Has Anyone managed to get Delegated RPKI working with ARIN

[Alex Band]

Final update:

On April 1st ARIN deployed support for the RFC 8183 RPKI key exchange format:
https://www.arin.net/vault/participate/acsp/suggestions/2020-3.html

You will no longer need the “ARIN Compatible" toggle in Krill as described in 
the previous email. The toggle will be removed in version 0.6, due next week.
