Thoroughly enjoyed representing @VerizonPolicy and facilitating today’s fireside chat with @HowardU’s 17th president, Dr. Wayne A.I. Frederick @HUPrez17, at @CBCFInc #ALC51 Talking all things STEM, Tech, and Innovation.

We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services.
This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions.
Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration.
We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.

Great answer, Shadeur. They always try to hate on my guy.
#Browns QB Shedeur Sanders was asked if he thinks he earned the right to start again:
"I think that's a setup question honestly...I control what I control, but what I think, in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter. I think being a great teammate, being a great whatever role I have on the team, I could do. Because you got to look at the bigger picture. We're out here connecting with each other, growing, learning in different areas. So if I'm playing, then, yes, I'm growing in this area. If I'm not playing, then I'm growing in this area. So, in every area you're growing, so you can't really ever look at the situation as negative."
