Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A CABLE television company claims to have beaten British Telecom and Mercury by offering jet-setters the chance to have their telephone calls follow them around the world.
Cambridge Cable customers can re-program a central telephone switch remotely, so that it diverts their calls as they travel - perhaps to a mobile telephone for the journey to the airport, then to an office or hotel room in another country. The traveller would ring the UK switch number, tap in his or her personal identification number and the number of the telephone they want to pick up their calls.
Eric Tveter, managing director of the company, says this is more convenient than the 'call forward' feature on today's telephone services, which has to be re-programmed from the original handset.
