In this episode of the Hill Associates Week in Telecom (tHAWT), Mark and I run through some news of the week, which was mainly what was happening with a few of the telcos--Sprint/Clearwire, Telstra, FairPoint, etc. The links are below. We also capped this off with a podsnack on certificate authorities and their root certificates, which are installed on your computer courtesy of Microsoft (or whomever your OS vendor is). After this you will be able to know where to find them yourself; you may also be surprised how many authorities you trust.

Sprint expanding WiMAX to 17 metros
Money may be short though
Telstra profits up
Fairpoint facing challenges
