Thankfully most companies do not, but unfortunately their are some companies which hold a license which still allows them to spray.
As a northern British Columbia some of what you were saying makes sense. The provincial government has also just recently put in deferrals that very possibly could lead to about half of the mill shutting down.

If old growth was as you to defined it, I think nobody would be chopping it down, but as it sits for forest to be considered old gross it only needs to have one tree per hectare over a certain size. in much of the area up here second growth from the early 20th century is even being considered old growth. The restrictions were primarily put in place for coastal old growth which is closer to your definition.

From what I have seen, primary logging always goes to the Mills first since they are willing to pay more money.

How so, I personally know quite a few people using the service, and it has been nothing close to lackluster.
I'm curious what ideas are going around the boardroom table right now.
The bigger thing would be availability. I have an inreach and use it probably bi-weekly, however most people cannot justify the 400$ device and subscription, this would be included
This will shake up a lot of things in the sattelite market. It will take a lot of marketshare from satellite trackers like inreach. Also living in a remote area, and being familiar with the existing tracking solutions for transport this could be a lot cheaper per asset. Also remote sensor locations. Anything low bitrate.

seems to good to be true... But really I worry where else these will appear if we start looking.
Very unfortunate that mergers like this continually get approved.

Looks like it was addressed with different lengths being available, however looks like a proprietary connector.

Takes some large mental leaps to put it any other way.

For sure lots of fun, we also very quickly found the staff wifi password, and just cloned mac addresses of allowed devices to bypass the filtering.

Preface this by saying this was a smaller school, and the students had limited access to wifi. For example a teacher would create a set of radius credentials that would only be active for 1 hour. Since data was also expensive that was not an easy work around.

In my grade 11 electronics class, one project we were assigned was to create a digital clock with notifications for one of the teachers. Me and a friend set up a raspberry pi with magic mirror installed on it, and modified some available plugins at the time to allow a google calendar for test dates embedded on the display. The teacher was quite pleased with this, but we convinced him to hard wire it to the network for "stability". In the background we had installed a vpn connection to one of my vps that I used to host my website, and created a new set of sudo enabled credentials naming it magic-mirror or something. The teacher then reviewed the project and changed the normal user credentials etc. Then right before it was installed in the ceiling, we attached a wifi adapter to the pi. A week or so later we remoted in through the tunnel and enabled a wireless hotspot from the pi. This provided us with internet while we were close to the classroom for the next year. People also over time learned that you could extend the range by hot spotting additional jumps using laptops.
