The stuff coming through on the FreePress daily update about media matters is full of how little info we have about the Comcast Brouhaha, and how to that their “network management” is more like “competitor blocking”. Bennett keeps spewing about it on WetMachine as well, saying that Topolsky & Co really haven’t proven anything. That’s […]
I knew there was a reason I threw out my TV ten years ago. Yesterday I was over a friend’s house and he had the news on, I’m not sure which network, but some talking heads were discussing how Obama is “off his game” and how Hillary still has a shot. The conversation went on […]
Yeah, this burns my buns in a big way, especially since I chose Earthlink for my ISP BECAUSE they supported Net Neutrality. If I had another choice for an ISP right now other than Verizon, who is much worse, or RCN, who is a joke of major proportions, I’d be looking at switching ISPs for […]
Om Malik is reporting a MAJOR investment by the USDA in a mystery company called Open Range Communications. The company secured USDA financing to the tune of $267 million for the purpose of rolling out BroadBand to Rural Areas.

How much you wanna bet there are a bunch of former AT&T and Verizon Legal Weenies out there looking for work, since they missed the Devil in the Details that allows Wireless Microphones to operate in that UHF Spectrum Range they just spent Megabucks by the tractor trailer full to purchase?

Right now the FCC is looking into Comcast’s packet spoofing to shut off BitTorrent traffic, which Comcast says is for the purpose of “managing the network”. Never mind that there are other ways to accomplish the same thing. Oh, and might I mention that LEGAL uses of BitTorrent are in direct competition with one of […]
Hmm, wonder if we’ll get someone EVEN WORSE than Martin if he’s found to be crooked . . .

The small local independent papers are full of news that is NOT being picked up by Big Media, and when you put these pieces together it shows how broken things are.
