Tech at Night: How about stopping both global and national Internet regulation?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 21st at 12:30 AM |
WCITLeaks having some success, possibly, as WCIT itself starts talking about openness. When even pro-Internet-regulation folks oppose UN or ITU regulation of the Internet, it needs sunshine for public evaluation. Mary Bono Mack’s response is the right one: oppose all government meddling, not just the UN or ITU.

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: Radicals want free stuff, UK rejects its own PROTECT IP, FDT on Internet Sales Tax, FCC games
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 4th at 03:00 AM |
South Korea has Net Neutrality activists in an uproar as, guess what? The government is considering asking a high-bandwidth Internet service to pay its fair share for the government-subsidized Internet in the country. Just more proof that when the radicals say “Net Neutrality,” they really mean “free stuff paid for by the taxpayers.” The radical left’s push for freeloading continues in America too, as Public | Read More »

It’s time to defund the United Nations
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 20th at 09:00 AM |
The United States of America keeps the United Nations afloat. In 2009 we were assessed 22% of the budget of the UN, and paid out slightly under 24% of what was collected, thanks to the Tax Equalization Fund system*. So in practice we paid about a quarter of the UN budget. Without us, the UN has to do some serious belt tightening. So if we’re | Read More »

Tech at Night: Google, Apple, Adobe, FCC, FBI, TSA, Free Press

So, while Google may have seen the light on Net Neutrality (which is actually, amusingly enough, making the far left sound like me), they still have other issues going on. The WiSpy Street View spying issue is still ongoing, with South Korea raiding their offices and Germany pressuring the firm to be more transparent and responsive to privacy complaints about the program. Because as I | Read More »
