Changes coming to an Internet near you!
folks, I only have time to day for a quick ‘reading reco’ (that I think you’ll fersher wanna see).
* Thanks to Tom Wheeler, the end of the open Internet is nigh
“The very fate of a free society rests on enshrining the open Internet — and the FCC chairman seems determined to do the opposite.” Read more..
[ um… one question: do we really have a ‘free society (by what definition?)’? Another might be, is that what the Powers That Be want for us? ]
Related (and reco’d): Two-timing Netflix will speed the downfall — and rebirth — of a free Internet
“Netflix’s deals with Comcast and Verizon are terrible in the short run, but bring us closer to Net neutrality’s moment of truth” Read more..
[ and no. It ain’t just Netflix. The (other) ISP’s and “content providers” are busy screwing things up as well. ]
Yippee yahoo.
(And BTW, I have already had 8 telemarketer calls this morning.. not one for something I would possibly want. So.. I’ll think on today’s quotable quote. Or.. Plan B, disconnect my Internet when I disconnect my phone. Going “off the grid” is sounding better each week, sad to say.) (Read the articles.)
Today’s quote: “I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.” ~ Martha Washington

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
