net neutrality

Dementia seems to have set in. All of that show during the last presidential campaign, where his mother was brought around, ostensibly revealing that long life and, more importantly, clear thought well into old age, runs in the family, was obviously subterfuge. He is clearly not in full control of his faculties.
In a story on [...]

With all the changes in the way we do things, it is amazing how we ever got along without the internet, and, beyond that, the speed that is used on a daily basis.
Everyone is either using the internet to download videos and movies, or outright streaming them. Everyone uses e-mail, VoIP, or some other technology [...]

The FCC is getting hauled into court, by Comcast no less, because that company doesn’t believe that the FCC actually has the power to stop their evil ways.
The dispute arose when the FCC acted last year, putting a stop to the P2P throttling, and other tricks, that Comcast was doing to its subscribers.
I would say [...]

Though we probably should not be surprised, just a few hours after the FCC Chairman announced that net neutrality would be the law of the land, there was an uprising from AT&T, and several Republican lawmakers.
In the best Craig Ferguson image you can conjure up, “Coincidence?” “I think not!”
You can say I am simply jumping [...]

I’m one of the people old enough to remember far enough back in time to when the FCC was a body that actually protected the rights of citizens, and was not merely a tool of big business. During the late ’70s, when I was very young and had not much more to do than be [...]

It might seem to follow that since the internet was developed in the United States, we would have the largest number of people who are served (per capita), we would have the very best, and fastest, infrastructure, and have the very best, most well thought out, legislation covering the use and policing of the internet.
Such [...]

No one likes being constricted. The citizens who have Time-Warner cable service certainly don’t like it. A story on ZDNet chronicles a mass exodus from the service, and a DSL provider is picking up the pieces. I have stated this before, as it is a natural business tendency, for the public to seek the best [...]

Lots of eyes are on the new administration, and nowhere (other than possibly Gauntanamo and the prison closing) is the view more focused than on the FCC and its treatment of large ISPs, with regards to net neutrality.
After hearing nothing for awhile after the discontinuation of the early reset policy for P2P communication, the agency [...]

With the announcement of YouTube going widescreen, and Blockbuster joining in the streaming rental fray, a question arises. How will all of this extra load play out with the basic structure of the internet?
It certainly is a good thing that Mr. Obama was elected, as he is clear about the concept of net neutrality, [...]

The area of net neutrality is getting much discussion these days, and everyone has an opinion. Everyone wants to affix blame for the problems, and that may be fine, but blame must be assessed correctly, and put at the feet of the right people.
One person that might be dangerous, both because his opinions are wrong, [...]

An interesting article over at DailyTech speaks to the idea that strange bedfellows are made in the most unusual places in this life.
In an about face for AT&T, and an odd vocalization of anything from Verizon, statements were made indicating that the odd pair agree that net neutrality is a good idea, and that [...]

I was reading an opinion, given by one of the typical talking heads, about why it was a very bad thing that the Yahoo – Microsoft deal did not work out. The line of reasoning was one of protection against a larger looming spectre. A gargantuan business that would one day make the misdeeds of [...]

The idea of the limitation of a service that has previously been unlimited is anathema to me. Not only do I feel this way on principle, I also feel that the reasons typically given for it are partially or completely wrong.
John Dvorak is someone I agree with more often than anyone else who writes on [...]
