Tech at Night: FTC joins the FCC in overreaches with Twitter, Anonymous hackery lives on, Al Qaeda reels
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 2nd at 12:00 AM |
When it comes to the FTC beginning to persecute Google, I think conservatives have mixed feelings because the problem of overbearing government is one of Google’s making. So while we do need to keep government in its place here, the situation is understandable. The FTC going after Twitter, though? That just doesn’t make sense. It’s not even the largest “social media” software around, not at | Read More »

Tech at Night: Shoot the Hackers, Defeat the Patent Ripoff, Reform the FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 23rd at 01:30 AM |
Can we just start shooting the hackers? It seems like it’s war on the Internet these days, and the more there is for me to cover, the more work it is churning out Tech at Night! Lulzsec denies the allies are in Baghdad the leader is arrested despite an earlier claim on Twitter that it was true. Anyway, Shame on the Daily Mail for trying | Read More »

Tech at Night: AT&T smacks down Public Knowledge and Sprint, FCC and Free Press exposed
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 19th at 03:00 AM |
I’ve been meaning to write about Sprint and the alliance it’s making with the shady, fringe left. Well, since that alliance is against AT&T, and trying to bring government down on AT&T, they’ve started to do the work for me with their myth busting posts. Part 1 takes down fringe left group Public Knowledge and its testimony to the Senate. AT&T illustrates how absurd it | Read More »

Tech at Night: FCC, USDA, Net Neutrality, Competition
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 7th at 03:30 AM |
Hello. Yes, I’m late again. But I’m genuinely starting to have fun with OpenGL ES 2. So Tech at Night got to wait a bit. Sorry! Anyway, as I usually do when I have a link to a RedState article, I’ll start tonight with it. RedState Insider suggests cutting the budget while implementing better policy by eliminating the Agriculture Department’s venture into tech subsidy, the | Read More »

Tech at Night: Broadband, FCC lies, Wireless, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Internet Tax
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 30th at 01:30 AM |
Good evening. Here’s a bit I’d never expect to read from the San Francisco Chronicle about Sprint’s begging for the FCC to pick winners and losers, instead of just standing aside and letting AT&T and T-Mobile get together: At a time when wireless service is getting cheaper and more innovative, there is no reason for a Depression-era bureaucracy like the FCC to step in and | Read More »

There is no need to block an AT&T acquisition of T-Mobile
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 21st at 09:00 AM |
In the fast-paced, highly-competitive market of wireless phone and Internet access, this announcement stands out. The wireless carrier with the second-most subscribers, AT&T, is to acquire the number four carrier, T-Mobile USA. Some would say that this is a grave threat to competitiveness, risks reducing competition and increasing prices on everyone, and so should be stopped by the benevolent masters of the Obama administration.
