FCC flooded with anti-net neut letters
,----[ Quote ]
| US regulators are only deciding whether or not
| they should begin the process of hammering out
| new net neutrality rules next Thursday, but you
| wouldn't think it's so early in the game by the
| screeching opposition.

Is AT&T targeting Google Voice to stop "traffic pumping"?
,----[ Quote ]
| Google is grumpy about an AT&T-prompted FCC
| letter asking the company to explain the
| feature's call-restricting policies. But it may
| be that AT&T really just wants action on a
| dubious business technique called "traffic
| pumping." We looked into this practice and the
| details aren't pretty.

Internet brownouts, pay-per-byte, and other doom-claims of anti-Neutrality "researchers"
,----[ Quote ]
| Ars Technica's Nate Anderson does a nice job
| evaluating the claims coming from Internet
| research firm Nemertes Research, who made
| headlines in 2007 by predicting a huge spike in
| traffic by 2010 (the "exaflood") that would cause
| internet "brownouts" (Nemertes' answer was to
| limit what people were allowed to do on the
| internet by giving ISPs the power to cut off
| access to services that they didn't like).

Did the FCC bribe US carriers on net neutrality?
,----[ Quote ]
| Debate at this week's CTIA shindig has
| apparently been about efficient spectrum
| use, but is the FCC just bribing the
| network operators to accept net
| neutrality without a fight?
