Tech at Night: The Lieberman-Collins Cybersecurity bill is just that extreme
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | June 28th at 12:30 AM |
John McCain. Lisa Murkowski. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Saxby Chambliss. Richard Burr. Dan Coats. No, I’m not listing the centrist wing of the Senate Republicans. I’m listing some of the co-sponsors of SECURE IT, the bill that Senate Republicans have been forced to bring forth because the extremist Cybersecurity bill by Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins just couldn’t be bargained with. That’s right, John McCain of | Read More »

Tech at Night: Jim DeMint vs favored broadcasters, CISPA vs Lieberman-Collins
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | April 23rd at 11:45 PM |
What’s the ideal situation for the cable television marketplace? A free market. Cable providers should be able to negotiate, or not, with broadcasters and copyright holders to purchase streams to resell to their customers. Jim DeMint is trying to bring us closer to that by ending special leverage in the marketplace given to broadcasters. You see, the rules in place now are not designed to | Read More »

Tech at Night: SECURE IT comes to the House, Aereo gets sued for innovating, FCC needs reform
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | March 6th at 02:00 AM |
Great news! Tech at Night’s favorite Representative Marsha Blackburn, along with TaN’s own home representative Mary Bono Mack are bringing a version of Secure IT to the House. The bill has been introduced in the Senate as an alternative to the power grab known as Lieberman-Collins. The great thing about the bill? It toughens criminal penalties for online lawbreaking even as it makes it easier | Read More »

Tech at Night: Net Neutrality scheduled, Sprint admits the truth, Hutchison fights, Anonymous loses
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | September 24th at 03:30 AM |
November 20. That’s the day the Obama administration has chosen to regulate the Internet after what even The Hill calls “a partisan vote” at the FCC to pass the Net Neutrality regulations. I’m hoping Verizon and/or MetroPCS will sue and win a stay before that date, though I don’t know how likely that is for a court to act that strongly. I’ve said much about | 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 »
