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 »

The Sprint/George Soros argument on AT&T/T-Mobile makes no sense
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 1st at 05:00 PM |
If Sprint is weak, then it fears competition and favors oligopoly. Therefore, Sprint’s opposition to the AT&T/T-Mobile deal projects the deal would increase competition nationally. Regular readers of my Tech at Night series have seen me make the case for the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile USA by pointing out how it would improve competition because the two companies combined could compete better with | 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: Amazon Tax in California, George Soros and OSI loom behind the AT&T opposition, Net Neutrality, More problems with the FCC’s 706 report
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 26th at 03:00 AM |
This week I already called upon Rick Perry to veto the Texas Amazon Tax, and now I’m left to hope that California Democrats will be less stupid than Joe Straus. Sigh. Meanwhile the posturing around the AT&T/T-Mobile deal continues. We find from a press conference with COMPTEL CEO Jerry James that the Rural Cellular Alliance is joining with radical left, George Soros/OSI-funded group Public Knowledge | Read More »

Tech at Night: Google, FCC, Civil Defense spectrum
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 14th at 03:30 AM |
That’s one of the most boring and least unique Tech at Night titles ever, but I’m going to war with the links I have. Slade Gorton’s priorities are horribly wrong. I’m sorry, but that’s the way it is. On Tuesday the Greg Walden subcommittee held hearings on “Use of Spectrum with Public Safety.” I’ve already explained why I think the D Block of wireless spectrum | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, FCC, Wireless Roaming, Anonymous, George Soros
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 7th at 03:30 AM |
The final House vote is coming to repeal Net Neutrality via the Congressional Review Act. I’m pretty interested to see how many Democrats we can get in the House, because it may give a clue of how many Democrats we can get in the Senate. Remember: under the CRA we only need 51, not 60. I hope we don’t have to fire up the CRA | Read More »

Free Press = Astroturf. Greenish, plastic, rootless Astroturf.
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 22nd at 03:18 AM |
I hear that Free Press employees all have to see the New Orleans Saints’s old team doctor after one month on the job, because they all get turf toe by that point. But seriously, they really are. National Journal recently wrote them up (subscription only, unfortunately) but here’s what I think the key takeaway is about the neo-Marxist organization dedicated to the nationalization of all | Read More »
George Soros Funds Free Press Thuggery (And Other Good News) [Updated]
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 14th at 01:16 AM |
Sorry for the goof up, folks. When I transferred this one into the browser I lost my links. The dangers of posting before bed. I’ve re-added them now. That’s a pretty good way to describe recent actions from George Soros-paid front groups like Free Press and their band of modern day Bolsheviks. The Obama Administration’s effort to expand federal “neutrality” regulation over the Internet really | Read More »

Think Progress has a nasty case of projection
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 13th at 01:18 AM |
Apologies for the pop psych buzzword, but that’s what comes to mind when I see the well-funded Think Progress accusing some MBA student activists of being a corporate conspiracy. Sorry guys, but the No Net Brutality movement is just a group of six students who spent about $175 making their own website.
