Tech at Night: Runaway FCC and LightSquared probed, Joe Barton is a useful idiot to the radicals, AT&T loses throttling suit
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 29th at 12:00 AM |
Special Tuesday edition! Having been very busy hitting a launch window for a client, I had to skip Friday and Monday. So to make up for it, this week I start on Tuesday. Riddle me this: FCC refuses to be transparent about its dealings with LightSquared (who by the way just changed CEOs, as the firm continues to flail desperately in response to the FCC’s | Read More »

Tech at Night: Google to obey censorship laws, LightSquared and FCC team up on Grassley, Pirates lose
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | February 2nd at 03:00 AM |
Sometimes, the anarchists lose. Even in leftist Sweden, The Pirate Bay’s founders lost their last appeal. It’s guys like these, who deliberately put up a system for infringing on US copyrights while playing word games to justify it, that motivated SOPA and that drive the desire for a treaty like ACTA. Google considers its privacy changes a public policy issue as the firm is getting | Read More »

We must defeat SOPA: Tech at Night Special
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 15th at 03:30 AM |
Ordinarily I use Tech at Night to cover a variety of topics that come my way, and I have them in my queue for tonight. But with over 30 items to consider and integrate, most of them on SOPA, I’m shelving the rest for Friday, and discussing just one topic tonight: We must defeat SOPA in the House. It is entirely unacceptable, and I believe | Read More »

Tech at Night: Progressive says we’re overregulated, Google draws more Neutrality regs, Dems compound failure
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 18th at 03:00 AM |
No really, Governor Haslam, you do not want to bring California taxation to Tennessee. Have you seen our unemployment? That’s why we just might defeat it at referendum. PETA people are hijacking phones, sending malicious messages without consent, and running up text message bills. People need to be careful about what they install, but this sort of thing needs to send people to jail, as | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality D-Day approaches, Communist-style PROTECT IP, Apple News
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 9th at 02:30 AM |
Friday, Friday, Friday. Black Friday? Net Neutrality rules have become one step closer to official as the FCC finally delivered something to the OMB after months of stalling. Verizon, MetroPCS, Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli, and others ended up unable sue to throw out the illegal power grab until it’s published, so the longer the FCC waited, the longer everyone else had to wait to begin | Read More »

Tech at Night: Comcast, NBC, Internet, FCC, Republicans, Google
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | January 19th at 11:30 PM |
I went ahead and took Martin Luther King day off, so it’s a double dose of stories to cover tonight. Though first, in case you missed it, make sure to see my post today on Marsha Blackburn‘s call to action against stifling, destabilizing Internet and technology regulation. Other than that, the big story this week so far has been the FCC finally approving the NBC | Read More »
