"So basically, if you’re trying to get a grant to help fund a new broadband project in Missouri, you have to ask the regional monopoly’s permission."

Le craps est un jeu de dés qui a fini par percer sur la scène des jeux de hasard, notamment sur internet. Mais avant d’entrer dans la famille des Jeux de casino, le craps aurait traversé bien des pays et époques. Ainsi, les historiens auraient trouvé des vestiges du craps en Égypte et certains ossements d’animaux taillés en forme de dés démontrent que l’ancêtre le plus lointain du craps existait déjà en -2000 avant J.C. Reste que ses origines sont confuses, voire même obscures et les théories à ce sujet se confrontent allègrement depuis la nuit des temps

A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that California’s net neutrality law can remain in place, upholding a lower court decision. California’s 2018 law is the toughest in the country, and was signed into law a year after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed the federal Open Internet Order. That 2015 order put into place strict net neutrality rules barring internet providers from blocking or throttling legal apps and websites. It also banned prioritization of paid content by ISPs.

A new order pushes the FCC to restore net neutrality

Of the 22 million comments submitted to the FCC regarding 2017’s controversial rollback of net neutrality, some 18 million were fake, an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s office has found.

Spoiler alert: data caps are not like pizza

The Firefox-maker is leading a push for the Federal Communications Commission to reinstate net neutrality rules stripped away under the Trump administration.

Today, Mozilla together with other internet companies ADT, Dropbox, Eventbrite, Reddit, Vimeo, Wikimedia, sent a letter to the FCC asking the agency to reinstate net neutrality as a matter of urgency.

A new bill to bring back net neutrality is on its way, supported by one of the open internet’s most fervent advocates. At an advocacy event last month, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) announced that he would be introducing a measure in the next few “weeks” that would engrave the no throttling, block, or paid fast lanes rules into law.

Large numbers of US Internet subscribers are using over 1TB a month for the first time as the pandemic continues to boost home-Internet usage, according to research released today by the vendor OpenVault.

President Joe Biden today appointed Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel to be the acting chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission. Rosenworcel became an FCC commissioner in 2012 and served in a Democratic majority during the Obama years and in a Democratic minority during the Trump years.

Opinion: Jessica Rosenworcel, who's been pro-net neutrality for years, has been named the Federal Communications Commission's acting chairwoman.

It took an industry man to ruin the internet as we knew it. The damage to a free and open virtual network wrought by the killing of net neutrality standards hasn’t yet assumed the apocalyptic form that digital watchdogs warned of. But the internet service providers who benefit from relaxation of the restrictions are already taking advantage in subtle ways, toeing the line into future, likely more explicit abuses, while prices for service remain sky-high for low-income users.

The real coordinated inauthentic behavior on social media made itself abundantly clear in the aftermath of the assault on Congress. The culprit isn’t a troll farm or Russian influence. This time, the coordinated inauthentic behavior is coming from California.

The internet should be treated like water, power, and phone lines: an essential utility

Comcast will begin imposing data caps on customers in all of the states it operates in come 2021, after announcing that a dozen states in the Northeast that were previously excluded from the limitations would now be included.

The announcement means that the FCC could reach a Democratic majority sooner than it would otherwise be able to.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will step down from his post on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, he announced Monday. The announcement means that the FCC could reach a Democratic majority sooner than it would otherwise be able to. Pai's term was slated to expire in June 2021, though Biden will be able to choose a Democrat to chair the commission once in office. Commissioners must be confirmed by the Senate.

Opinion: As expected, Trump appointee Ajit Pai, who destroyed net neutrality, is leaving office. He leaves behind a legacy of higher internet prices and broken net neutrality. Things can only get better for the internet from here.
