Tech at Night: CISPA is harmless, Megaupload fights in court, Verizon gets sued over DSL speeds
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 14th at 10:00 AM |
Good evening. I’m considering shifting Tech at Night to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. But I might not. I’ll have to think about it. So, more CISPA. The comparison with SOPA is absurd. I put out a challenge for anyone to refute the claim first by the Republicans and now by Facebook that there are no new mandates in CISPA. No takers so far. That’s because | Read More »

Tech at Night: No on SOPA, the selective Internet Kill Switch, Greg Walden and Adam Kinzinger take on the FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 17th at 02:00 AM |
Welcome to Tech at Night, the series the radical left says is shaping the debate. I sure hope I am. After losing on Net Neutrality and on the America Invents Act, I’d like to get a win. The next chance for a win is in the House, which is debating SOPA, the bill that would create a national censorship blacklist online. Helping to lead the | Read More »

Tech at Night: It is urgent that we stop SOPA; Google wising up?
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 15th at 02:30 AM |
Censorship’s the big word right now. The FCC’s under pressure to ban pro sports blackouts, and the Supreme Court may end national profanity rules. However I consider those things small. Few people have access to television broadcasts. Most of us aren’t actually censored by these regulations. We all have access to the Internet though; that’s how a nobody like me is able to shape the | Read More »

Tech at Night: Stopping Net Neutrality in the Senate, National Sales Tax plan, CWA backs up AT&T
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | November 10th at 03:00 AM |
Why can’t the news come in even intervals, instead of batching up all at once? So yes, the Senate Net Neutrality vote is coming up. Credit where it’s due: Kay Bailey Hutchison moved the ball forward on this, no doubt about it. Credit also to Marco Rubio making headlines with his strong support of the repeal. And Rubio is right: the whole thing is ridiculous. | Read More »

Tech at Night: Regrouping after patent, Net Neutrality, and competition losses
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 17th at 02:30 AM |
We’ve lost some battles lately. That’s what happens when we let a radical Democrat become President. We let Patrick Leahy’s America Invents Act pass, imposing on America a Euro-style patent system that rewards lawyering, not being the first to invent something. We let the FCC pass an illegal Net Neutrality power grab, and that will have to go to court soon. We’re even seeing some | Read More »

Tech at Night: Free Press under pressure, Cyberterrorists get arrested, Same old FCC
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 11th at 03:30 AM |
Free Press is getting the heat. It’s been exposed through FOIA that the far left front group was secretly coordinating media strategy with people at the FCC, including Commissioner Michael Copps. So when Copps makes a statement about media regulation, Free Press’s pet issue, I have to assume they wrote it for him. Media Reform is their code for nationalization of the press, after all. | Read More »

Tech at Night: George Soros wants your Internet, and the Democrats are peddling online censorship, and Ryan Giggs is still an adulterer
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 03:00 AM |
Have you ever noticed that the Soros-funded left never refers to Sprint Nextel by the firm’s full name? They only talk about Sprint. You know why? If they say Sprint Nextel, it’ll remind everyone that when #3 Sprint and #4 Nextel merged, wireless competition, prices, and service all improved. If you remember that fact, they think you might make the “wrong” predictions about #2 AT&T | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality, Free Press, FCC, Google, Verizon
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | August 7th at 04:50 AM |
We’re very late “tonight” for Tech at Night on “Friday,” but that’s because the time I normally spend on these posts I instead spent setting up my new iPad, which I will need for next month’s RedState Gathering. So apologies all around, and here we go. Net Neutrality news is picking up steam. While the official story is that the FCC has cowed before Free | Read More »

Tech at Night: FCC, Jim DeMint, Google, Free Press, Darrell Issa
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 22nd at 12:00 AM |
Good evening. Once again we see shoddy thinking from the FCC as they continue the push for the National Broadband Plan. Not all Americans have equal access to high speed Internet connections they complain, ignoring the fact that some Americans choose to live out in the middle of nowhere, and that choice comes with costs. Chairman Julius Genachowski and the rest of his socialist team | Read More »

Tech at Night: FCC, Indecency, Google, Free Press
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | July 14th at 10:43 PM |
Good evening. I’ll get started on tonight’s overview right away by taking a look at Free Press, and some new information pertaining to that neo-Marxist organization dug up by Big Government. Specifically, when co-founder Robert McChesney isn’t dreaming of a total government takeover of all the media in America, creating a “media reform” of single-payer, state-controlled news nationwide, he’s defending Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Why? | Read More »

Free Press goes all-in on censorship
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 1st at 12:03 PM |
It’s now out in the open: the Internet censors are on the march. The neo-Marxists at Free Press promised us that Net Neutrality had nothing to do with censorship. But as I’ve warned, once the FCC did their Title II Deem and Pass reclassification of ISPs as phone companies, in direct contravention of the Telecommunications Act, censorship was fully within their reach. Even as Republicans | Read More »
