Tech at Night: Verizon innovates in Spectrum, Sprint accused of tax fraud, Chuck Grassley pressured to give up on transparency
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 21st at 12:30 AM |
CISPA is still a harmless bill devoid of new mandates of power grabs, but I’m actually short of new things to say about it this week. Lieberman-Collins is the real threat. Watch the other hand. Let’s start with some spectrum instead. Verizon is under fire for trying to buy spectrum from Comcast and other cable companies, even as it tries to sell other spectrum. Note | Read More »

Tech at Night: George Soros wins over AT&T, SOPA and PROTECT IP battle continues, FTC to take on Google?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | December 20th at 01:30 AM |
Top story tonight is of course the major win by the triple alliance of George Soros and his front groups like Public Knowledge, Sprint Nextel, and the Obama administration’s dual agency of the FCC and the DoJ. Yes, AT&T has given up on acquiring T-Mobile. I believe they will now have to pay a sizable fee to T-Mobile as compensation. This is bad news for | Read More »

Tech at Night: Legislation: some good but mostly bad, FCC action: all bad, Patent Wars: getting silly
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 18th at 12:30 AM |
Sorry if you missed Tech at Night on Friday. I was under the weather. But I’m back, and with so much to review. How about legislation, good and bad? Well, mostly bad. Senate Democrats continue to push for senseless regulation of 4G Internet speeds, hindering vital new technology to increase high-speed Internet competition in America. Worse, Democrat Anna Eshoo is piling on in the House. | Read More »

Tech at Night: Anonymous fails again, Obama fails again, Internet censorship home and abroad
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | October 11th at 03:00 AM |
Columbus Day winds to a close, a cold slows me down, but Tech at Night marches on somehow. You know what’s also marched on? The New York Stock Exchange’s website. The anarcho-terrorists of Anonymous promised to take that website down (note: just the website, not the actual trading computers). Well, they failed, unless you count a two minute outage as success. Heck, RedState pretty much | Read More »

Tech at Night: More AT&T/T-Mobile, CA referendum nullification FAILS, Rand Paul puts symbol over substance
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 8th at 02:30 AM |
I’m in danger of repeating myself as the AT&T/T-Mobile saga goes on, so let me open up tonight’s post with to my latest analysis of the situation. Summary: the behavior of Sprint Nextel’s and Clearwire’s share prices, combined with Sprint Nextel’s decision to sue AT&T, should lead any observer to believe that the AT&T/T-Mobile deal benefits the 4G Internet-using public at the expense of Sprint | Read More »

Tech at Night: Anonymous and Net Neutrality in trouble, Patents, Apple, HTC, AT&T, T-Mobile
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 28th at 02:00 AM |
Anonymous and its associated online criminal organizations continue to face losses. A top Lulzsec leader was arrested in Scotland. Remember, this guy is no “activist.” He stole from people who happened to have Visas or MasterCards. Vigilante action against Anonymous and its online criminal wings continues, as well. Anonymous is in such trouble, they’re now desperate for allies, begging unions to join their cause. Note | Read More »

Tech at Night: Twitter targets activists, SAFE data act expands regulation, California anti-tax referendum, Google, Apple, Anonymous
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 20th at 11:00 PM |
Twitter has a credibility problem on its hands, all of a sudden. Even as I’m getting blind link spam sent to me every single day on the site, Twitter has singled out a conservative activist group to have its accounts wiped out. Not only was the Empower Texans feed shut down, but every single employee’s personal feed was targeted as well. Twitter’s response has been | Read More »

Tech at Night: Anonymous picks on the troops, HTC loses ruling against Apple
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 18th at 11:30 PM |
Short Tech at Night tonight, and boy do I need it. Unsurprisingly, when you’re running a massive calorie deficit to lose weight, exercise gets harder! I’m going to put two stories out here. If people are inspired to a course of vigilante action, well, then that’s not my fault. Anonymous’s Antisec is picking on the troops. Anonymous is launching a Google+ competitor for its members | Read More »
