> ISPs such as EarthLink, which already have a hard time competing on price, may still negotiate access contracts with the phone companies but are looking for alternative ways to deliver their services.

I know it's JavaScript, but you can still generate an image using something like https://github.com/yahoo/cronshot.

Is it possible the initial PIN that was sent by Tmobile was intercepted via SS7? I am trying to find out if my phone (android) is compromised as well.
The accounts and phone number are back under my control but I want to find out the vector as soon as possible -I don't trust tmobile to honor requests not to allow porting.
CDNs are one of those cases where the cloud vastly outperforms whatever kind of server you have.
Having a preset option is a good way to take out the friction, but instead you could just not include tipping and pay higher wages. Tipping is a way for businesses to bury the actual cost of a service.
I understand as a driver, it's nice to get tips, but if you get paid a fair wage it shouldn't matter.
Cabs
1. Find a cab
2. Hail the cab
3. Get in cab
4. Decide what to tip the cab
5. Pay the cab driver
6. Get out of cab
vs
Uber (without tipping)
1. Hail the uber from phone
2. Get in uber
3. Get out of uber
You could make the argument that tipping is optional, but deciding not to tip is still a decision making step.
The analysis was entertaining, but over-speculative.
