Bob Odenkirk is the hardest working nice guy in the business. A staggering, humble talent who it seems, can do anything. Wishing him speedy recovery, and love to his family ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/FUDPi8g0Jx

I wish “accepting cookies” actually involved real cookies.

Very encouraging to see today's bipartisan infrastructure deal, which includes $65B in funding to provide #broadband to Americans in need. @Cisco fully supports @POTUS, @VP & the unprecedented effort of Congress to close the digital divide. https://t.co/u2By2OY20f

Quotable
“We do see an opening up happening all across the country. We’ll have to see what happens with the Delta variant, but people are back in our stores… we’re seeing switching return to the market. In the second half, that’s always been traditionally when the action is. That’s when Apple sometimes brings new devices out, it is back to school season… it’s a competitive market, but it’s been a competitive market. Every quarter, the nature of that competition changes, and usually it is us setting the pace. Right now, it is device offers. All the companies are out there with fantastic device offers and they are centering them around more premium plan offerings… this has always been an intensely competitive market, at least since we’ve been the Uncarrier.”
– T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert speaking with CNBC on his company’s 2Q21 results and high levels of account growth across the wireless industry
