Reuters ran a story last week that attempted to paint George Soros and his foundation’s donations as an organizing element of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) demonstrations. As much as this may be red meat to the right, I have

As acting Department of Justice antitrust head, Sharis Pozen, said a couple of weeks ago, one of the DoJ’s main goals in working to block the AT&T / T-Mobile merger was to promote competition, not competitors. But would its suit

As acting Department of Justice antitrust head, Sahris Pozen, said a couple of weeks ago, one of the DoJ’s main goals in working to block the AT&T / T-Mobile merger was to keep price competition alive. But is it really?

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Witness the latest liaison, with Cellular South’s CEO, Hu Meena, and his new partnership with the NoTakeOver Project – a coalition of professional misanthropes that wants to stop the AT&T / T-Mobile merger at any cost.

Late last week, the U.S. House passed a Joint Resolution disapproving of the FCC’s Net Neutrality regulations, which were issued by the agency late last December. Such a Resolution through the Congressional Review Act (CRA) works to nullify actions by

The other day it was announced that a well known, mega-company discovered a new way to destroy antibiotic resistant bacteria, such as MRSA. Using nanoparticle technology – which is 50,000 times smaller than a hair’s width – the company’s researchers

As you may have read, just the other day AT&T announced its intended purchase of T-Mobile for $39 billion. With the move, AT&T will be the largest mobile carrier in the nation, serving about 130 million Americans. Many factors likely

Seems in this weekend’s House deficit-cutting exercise, public media got a haircut – federal subsidies for PBS will end if the House budget holds sway. Not surprisingly, PBS (and all its supporters in the media, blogosphere, twittersphere and on Capitol

When I look at the picture of the horrifically tortured Khaled Said I am sickened. A government willing to do this – perhaps to thousands of “disappeared” Egyptians over the past 30 years – to silence dissenting voice, to kill

Though Free Press outwardly expressed condemnation at the approval of the Comcast-NBC Merger earlier this month, they really got a lot of what they bargained for. After their extensive lobbying blitz – with approximately 35 different FCC communiqués, including over

It looks like the Soros machine isn’t done with Net Neutrality, even after its December coup at the FCC. Our Soros-supported socialist friends at Free Press just announced that David Saldana will be its new communications director. If that name

Word has it that the Internet is on the brink of a takeover. Egged on by radical interests, the FCC is poised to impose onerous regulations to guide the medium to a more “open” future. No matter that the Internet
