Headlines Will Return January 2

As is our tradition here (really, you can look it up), we're off to serve as back-up elves at Macy's for the remainder of the year and, therefore, will be unable to provide you, our dedicated readers, with our Headline service from December 24 to January 1. (OK, OK, if something really important happens -- if, say, the FCC finds a way for AT&T to buy Verizon -- we'll be sure to let you know.) We'll be back on January 2. We wish everyone communications-filled holidays. Have a safe, relaxing, happy break -- you deserve it!
