Google, normally a vocal critic of threats to network neutrality, is taking a back seat to the Open Internet Coalition in the wake of a court’s decision to let Comcast regulate its network as it sees fit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled April 6 that the FCC did not have the authority to order Comcast to stop throttling BitTorrent traffic. Ironically, this could push Google to be more aggressive in building out these networks as an alternative to pipes controlled by Comcast, Verizon and the rest of the incumbents.
– Anyone looking for Google to publicly complain about the ruling
that limits the Federal Communications Commission’s authority to tell network
operators how to manage their networks shouldn’t hold their breath. The Open
Internet Coalition is speaking for the search engine giant.
The U.S. Court o…

Federal Communications Commission General Counsel Austin Schlick says April 6 the court ruling puts a number of the National Broadband Plans goals and objectives in serious jeopardy.

The U.S. Court of Appeals throws out a 2008 Federal Communications Commission ruling that Comcast violated the FCC’s network neutrality principles. The decision throws into serious question the agency’s authority to regulate broadband providers such as AT T, Verizon and
Comcast.
– The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit dealt network
neutrality a serious blow April 6, ruling that the Federal Communications
Commission did not have the authority to order Comcast to cease and desist
throttling of BitTorrent traffic in 2008. Comcast accepted the order bu…
The FCC faces tough questions about its legal authority to penalize Comcast for throttling peer-to-peer traffic from BitTorrent. Comcast tells the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that the FCC’s network neutrality principles are nothing more than a policy statement and do not carry the weight of rules, regulations or laws and urges the court to remove the black mark against its name.
– A
three-judge federal panel appeared Jan. 8 to question the Federal
Communications Commission’s legal authority in the 2008
decision that found Comcast guilty of violating the FCC’s network neutrality
principles. Comcast complied with the FCC’s order to stop throttling
peer-to-peer Internet tra…

Where America’s gay couples live
WHEN Adam Lambert, a gay singer, kissed a male backing dancer during a televised performance in America, many viewers complained—highlighting ongoing sensitivity over gay rights in the country. Voters in Maine recently decided to repeal a law that allows gay couples to wed—a reverse for gay-rights activists in the normally liberal north-east. In 2008 Maine had the second highest concentration of gay households, with over eight in every 1,000 households said to be headed by partners of the same sex, according to research based on census data by the Williams Institute, a gay rights think-tank at UCLA. Those states where gay marriage is legal or where same-sex partnerships are recognised have a higher proportion of same-sex couples than the national average of 4.7. The District of Columbia is home to most gay households with over 14 for every 1,000.
