You know, this whole FCC torpedoing AT&T’s planned T-Mobile merger is nonsense. As I have written about often, I think the merger’s a mini jobs stimulus plan which can inject jobs into the economy far beyond anything that may happen
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?

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

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
