Tech at Night: Lieberman-Collins is dangerously wrong, Republican Governors backing Sales Tax compact, new Internet policy alliances forming
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 26th at 02:15 AM |
Right now the top issues are both getting lots of attention in the Senate. One is the cybersecurity bill. It’s been difficult for me to find out much about what’s going on with it, and it turns out there’s a reason. Sources familiar with the situation indicate to me that Harry Reid has been negotiating with Republicans in bad faith. Even Republicans who love to | Read More »

Tech at Night: CISPA is not SOPA until proven otherwise, Cybersecurity and copyright battles rage on
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 12th at 01:00 AM |
I’m seeing some real panicked shouting online about CISPA, a new bill that some are calling “the new SOPA.” It’s absurd. The bill may not be perfect. It could have flaws. But the argument being hammered against CISPA again and again is that it may be used against copyright infringers who abuse networks. So? The only reason to oppose that is if you wish to | Read More »

Tech at Night: Kill the bad bills and regs: SOPA, Net Neutrality, “Anti-trust” favoritism
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 5th at 03:00 AM |
There’s been a push lately to attack punitive, unfair taxes on wireless service, one that Erick Erickson signed onto, and was advertised at RedState. Ironically I only found out about it because I saw the ads while working on the code side of the site, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Anyway, that movement seems to have gotten a win, as the House passed the | Read More »

Tech at Night: You were expecting something other than Net Neutrality?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 14th at 03:00 AM |
Now that the FCC has made itself the center of attention by planning a big power grab online, it may be the case that the FCC gets some unwanted attention. The Free State Foundation is calling out the FCC for not being very open even as the FCC is calling for an Open Internet™. Here’s the punchline, but read the whole thing, and that’s not | Read More »

Tech at Night: John Kerry, Net Neutrality, For the Children!, Hank Johnson
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 8th at 11:55 PM |
Yesterday at the Daily Caller we found out why John Kerry was such a flip-flopper during his Presidential run. The reason is that he just can’t help it. He even flips around when he’s not running for anything. In 1998 he wrote a letter to the FCC explaining that the Telecommunications Act 1996 forbids the FCC to do the very same deem and pass Title | Read More »
