Tech at Night: The Return of the Revenge. Google Motorola deal approved. Spectrum. Skeptical of Telecommunications Act changes.
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 14th at 03:00 AM |
Yup, I’m back. And I have roughly a week’s worth of stuff to cover, so let’s go. Top story seems to be that The Obama/Holder Justice Department has no problem with Google’s vertical integration takeover of Motorola Mobility. Interesting. I also await word on whether Google will drop all aggressive patent lawsuits, as they claim to use patents only defensively. Some people never learn. Google | Read More »

Tech at Night: SOPA unconstitutional?, AT&T under pressure, Verizon’s try for Netflix next?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 13th at 03:00 AM |
It’s Monday, so it’s time for that weekly self promotion of mine. This week at the Daily Caller I discussed NISO, an information sharing proposal by Dan Lungren that would get government in a role of improving our security online without compromising liberty and innovation. And now back to SOPA. Now Eric Schmidt realizes we don’t want government to have a huge role online, complaining | Read More »

Tech at Night: Amazon taxers try to circumvent the Perry Veto, Dana Rohrabacher fights a patent disaster, and more House business
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 2nd at 03:00 AM |
Lots to cover tonight, thanks in part to skipping Monday for Memorial Day. But of course I’ll start with my own post on the AT&T/T-Mobile deal, explaining from the ground up why the George Soros/Sprint arguments contradict themselves. Government should get out of the way, especially state governments like California’s getting too big for their britches. It’ll be better for all of us who buy | Read More »

Tech at Night: Domestic Internet spying, FCC, Free Press, Henry Waxman, Net Neutrality
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 28th at 04:00 AM |
Hello. The longer the Democrats are in Washington, the more the mask slips with respect to their true beliefs regarding freedom online. They claim they don’t want a government takeover, they claim they don’t want to regulate content, they claim they don’t want a kill switch, they claim they want to respect privacy, but time and again all of these issues just keep coming up. | Read More »

FCC loses Internet regulation lawsuit
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 6th at 11:50 AM |
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals slapped the FCC today by ruling in Comcast v. FCC that the regulatory body overstepped its legal bounds when it tried to regulate Internet management practices. This precludes Net Neutrality regulation, which is at heart regulation of how ISPs manage their networks. Judge David Tatel, Clinton appointed successor of now-Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, wrote for the court that since | Read More »
