Silicon Valley Firms Lock Arms Against Trump Immigration Order
At least 127 United States companies -- including Apple, Facebook,
Twitter, Google, Intel and other tech giants -- filed a friend of the
court brief in a lawsuit the state of Washington brought against
President Trump, which argues that his executive order to halt the entry
of refugees and all travelers from seven Muslim nations would inflict
significant harm on U. S. businesses.

Ode to Sprint: Somebody Calls You, You Answer Quite Slowly
As I write this, I'm listening to twangy guitar music that calls up
vague images of big spiny cactus, dust, and a riderless swaybacked
horse. Lots of dust. I've been listening to the same few bars for 43
minutes and counting. Every few seconds, the music is interrupted by
this: "We apologize for the wait. We are currently experiencing higher
than normal volumes and long hold times. ..."

Snap Seizes the Moment
Snap last week filed for a $3 billion IPO. The company's private market
valuation is $17.8 billion, but investors reportedly have valued it at
between $20 billion and $25 billion. "Twenty-five billion dollars is
just nuts, but that's the market we're in," remarked Rob Enderle,
principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This could provide an
opportunity for the big gambler investors," he suggested.

Does Avaya Have a Post-Chapter 11 Prayer?
Is Avaya on the road to financial recovery? What will happen to business
partners and customers if it is not? The company last month filed for
Chapter 11 protection for itself and some of its United States
subsidiaries -- a move that makes it "the first major established
technology company that's dying as a direct result of the cloud,"
according to Ian Campbell, CEO of Nucleus Research.

Amazon to Build $1.5B Prime Air Cargo Hub in Kentucky
mazon, which has moved forward aggressively in recent years to take
control of its retail distribution chain, this week announced plans for
a $1.5 billion Prime Air cargo hub in Kentucky. Amazon already employs
more than 10,000 people at 11 fulfillment centers in the state. The
company received about $40 million in government incentives to base its
new air cargo hub in Hebron.

EC to Take a Hard Look at E-Commerce Practices
The European Commission on Thursday announced three separate
investigations into online pricing and other sales practices that may
have breached EU antitrust rules. The EC investigations will assess
whether consumers were able to enjoy cross-border choice when it came to
buying video games and consumer electronics, and making hotel
accommodations online.

Wireless, Telecom and Pay TV: The Future Is Coming Into Focus
Wireless, telecom and pay TV -- including cable, satellite and Internet
services -- are all on a growth trajectory, but each company is taking a
different path. That means comparing them will be more difficult going
forward. In the past, the companies in these sectors in many respects
looked the same and offered nearly the same basic services. Looking
forward however, things appear very different.

Calling Facebook Customer Service? Beware of Fraudsters
Googling for a Facebook customer support phone number may connect users
with fraudsters. A fraudulent number reportedly appeared not only as top
result in a Google search, but also as a featured snippet -- that is,
highlighted in a box at the top of the search results. An investigator
who called the number, posing as a Facebook customer who had been locked
out of his account.
