Tech at Night: It is urgent that we stop SOPA; Google wising up?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 15th at 02:30 AM |
Censorship’s the big word right now. The FCC’s under pressure to ban pro sports blackouts, and the Supreme Court may end national profanity rules. However I consider those things small. Few people have access to television broadcasts. Most of us aren’t actually censored by these regulations. We all have access to the Internet though; that’s how a nobody like me is able to shape the | Read More »

Tech at Night: I can’t spare Marsha Blackburn. She fights. Also: wireless competition rages on, Barton and Bono Mack take on Poker
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 20th at 03:55 AM |
Late start tonight for Tech at Night. Sorry, but I’ve started a plan to get myself out of California, and to be honest I’m more than a bit nervous about the whole thing. Looking for new work in the Obama economy? Yeah. But at least Marsha Blackburn wants to help the tech job situation by taking on Barack Obama’s twin regulatory nightmares of the FCC | Read More »

Tech at Night: TN’s Haslam wants CA’s job killer tax, Al Franken too extreme for MN, Astroturf hits the FCC, Google roundup
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 16th at 03:30 AM |
Hello again to those I saw in Charleston over the weekend, and hope to see you next time to those who weren’t able to make it! While I return to California and get settled in again, it seems that some are leaving the state for good, and the hostile business climate is why. This includes the punitive Amazon Tax which has made it impossible for | Read More »

Tech at Night: George Soros wants your Internet, and the Democrats are peddling online censorship, and Ryan Giggs is still an adulterer
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 03:00 AM |
Have you ever noticed that the Soros-funded left never refers to Sprint Nextel by the firm’s full name? They only talk about Sprint. You know why? If they say Sprint Nextel, it’ll remind everyone that when #3 Sprint and #4 Nextel merged, wireless competition, prices, and service all improved. If you remember that fact, they think you might make the “wrong” predictions about #2 AT&T | Read More »

Tech at Night: AT&T, T-Mobile, Unions, FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 21st at 11:30 PM |
So, read any good Tech posts lately? OK, I couldn’t think of a better way than that tonight to introduce a pair of RedState posts on the top story of the moment: AT&T’s announced plans to acquire T-Mobile USA from the Germans. It seems that there are two major conservative perspectives on this deal. One was described by LaborUnionReport on Sunday: if the non-union T-Mobile | Read More »

Tech at Night: Free Press, FCC, Google, LTE, RIM, Amazon, California
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 4th at 11:30 PM |
Tonight, we start with a longer note that requires some setup, so bear with me as I break from the usual format for a moment. ––– The FCC’s attempt to reclassify broadband as if it were a telephone service had already encountered opposition from a strong, bipartisan majority of Congress – not to mention usually Democratic allies like the AFL-CIO, CWA, IBEW, LULAC, MMTC, NAACP, | Read More »

It’s official: Deem and Pass Internet regulation is the “Third Way”
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 22nd at 01:49 AM |
It doesn’t matter that nearly all House Republicans are against it, and a good number of Democrats besides. It doesn’t matter that ATR is against it, CNBC warns it could “kill the Internet,” or that we just don’t need it. The FCC has gone ahead and put out a Notice of Inquiry to go ahead with Deem and Pass reclassification of ISPs away from being | Read More »
