The Federal Communications Commission has reportedly ended a series of talks with major players in the Internet industry on the question of Net neutrality. This followed allegations that Google and Verizon are privately wheeling a deal that would let the latter give preferential treatment to Web tra...
The Federal Communications Commission has redefined broadband speeds as 4 Mbps for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads. Characterizing the move as "overdue," the FCC pointed out that the previous standard of 200 Kbps in both directions was set in 1999. The new speeds were included in the FCC's sixth br...
At a hastily called press conference on Friday, Apple chairman and CEO Steve Jobs offered free cases to all iPhone 4 users to make amends for widespread complaints about the design of the smartphone's antenna, which causes it to lose signal strength when the phone is held a certain way without a cas...
U.S. broadband providers have gotten away with shoddy speeds and restricted access because Americans consumers are pretty clueless about what they're actually buying. A whopping 80 percent of broadband users in the United States do not know the speed of their own broadband connection, a Federal Comm...
France has become the latest country to investigate potential wrongdoing on the part of Google Street View, the hyper-local image service. The cars used to carry cameras to gather images for Street View did indeed capture passwords from private individuals' WiFi transmissions over unencrypted networ...
Free marketeers' primary argument against Net neutrality is that a government watchdog role in protecting neutrality is bound to be "political" -- and that any government agency will ultimately start a slippery slide to full-bore regulation of the Internet. This all-or-nothing approach is a false c...
The FCC recently voted to move forward on a rule-making process that could lead to new government regulations for the Internet. That is what the FCC and some activist groups want, although they claim to be supporting only "neutrality." Even key players seem confused. The Open Internet Coalition says...
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski stirred up the Net neutrality pot last week with his speech at the Brookings Institution where he pledged to create new rules for governing the Internet. The FCC boss implied that because the Internet is such a big part of the lives of Americans, its management can...
The smoke and haze from the 190-square mile Station Fire near Los Angeles isn't just making it difficult to see in the area of the San Gabriel Mountains. It's also having an impact on advanced forms of communications in Southern California: cellphone signals, television and radio broadcasting, even ...
President Obama's inability to fill even half of his major political appointments is in the news this week, but the appointments he's already made are causing some in Silicon Valley to question whether they supported the right candidate. The president chose non-Silicon-Valley candidates for the nati...
This month, the Federal Communications Commission begins drafting a national broadband plan as part of the 2009 stimulus package. This is not the first government attempt at broadband ubiquity, so the FCC can learn from past failures. The commissioners have less than eight months to "ensure that all...
When Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States this week, he promised that his administration would "restore science to its rightful place." Whether reality will fit the rhetoric remains to be seen, and there are reasons to be both optimistic and a little wary. In his inau...
D-day -- the day television broadcast signals switch from analog to digital -- is less than five months away. While the Federal Communications Commission and broadcasters like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX have spent recent months informing the viewing public about the switch, there's still a lot of confusi...
This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee released a report accusing Kevin Martin, the chairman of the FCC, of being deceptive and opaque in his management of the agency's affairs. That a politician would pull such moves is no surprise, but the report should send a strong signal to the inco...
It appears that Silicon Valley will hold Barack Obama to his promise to consider naming a national technology czar/chief technology officer for his administration, and industry observers already have a few suggestions for the president-elect. Google CEO Eric Schmidt has been mentioned as a contender...
