The FCC unveils its net neutrality proposal: 90 Seconds on The Verge

Searching for Fairness on the Internet - NYTimes.com

After weeks of being criticized for a proposal that would have divided the Internet into fast and slow lanes, the Federal Communications Commission put forward a new plan on Thursday. While more balanced than its earlier approach, the commission still seems to be leaning toward creating a two-tiered system that could discriminate against smaller companies and restrict consumer choice.

The F.C.C. has been struggling for years to come up with rules to prevent phone and cable companies from blocking or interfering with Internet content. Last month, the chairman of the agency, Tom Wheeler, appeared to throw in the towel when he proposed regulations that would have allowed telecommunications companies to strike deals with firms like Netflix and Amazon for faster delivery of their videos and other data to consumers.

Why iOS vs. Android no longer matters - CNET

This is so true.



"The truth is, once I start using a phone I just want it to work. When I hit the unlock button, I don't stop to gaze lovingly at any transitions, I just open Twitter. That might make me sound artless, but it's true. My priorities are connecting to the Internet, opening and closing apps, typing in words, and occasionally taking and uploading photos.

Actually building a platform that makes these tasks fast and intuitive is not simple, but guess what? After years of work, both Apple and Google have managed it. As a result, I'm less and less conscious of whether what's in my hand is an iPhone or an Android phone."

Comcast fights back against Netflix’s poor viewability claims - CNET

"Comcast is limiting the capacity of connections between its network and other networks, unless the network agrees to pay Comcast for access," Libertelli wrote. "Prior to our agreement to interconnect directly with Comcast, Netflix purchased all available transit capacity into Comcast's networks from multiple transit providers. Every single one of those transit links to Comcast was congested (even though the transit providers requested extra capacity), resulting in poor video quality for our members."

What will it take to get people to buy new iPads? - CNET

"My wife uses an iPad 2. She's happy with it. The iPad 2 came out in early 2011. There's nothing wrong with it, really. In fact, Apple just took it off the market earlier this year.

That's the problem with iPads: they're stable, polished, and don't change all that much. That's great for someone buying one, but it doesn't give much of an incentive to upgrade.

Apple's latest iPad sales numbers were down. Apple still sold a lot of them, but not as many as last year: meanwhile, the iPhone's numbers keep climbing. Is there really a problem? The iPad remains our top-recommended tablet. Tons of people have them. It doesn't feel like a product in decline. But I look back at the current iPads and see part of the problem staring right at me."
