More on Media Consolidation/Deregulation

I'll try to accumulate some links not previously posted. William Safire comments. The Register has an editorial; see also The Guardian for more on the British perspective. Associated Press story. The Washington Post has a good and lengthy (and rare) piece. The phone companies are making a cynical political announcement that they've agreed on a standard for fiber-to-the-home; that doesn't mean they'll ever use the standard, and indeed they've already promised *not* to roll it out anytime soon. Note that the FCC is removing any requirement for the Bells to share their fiber, so if Verizon runs fiber to your house, you'll be able to get Verizon service or none at all.

Posted about what, Michael?

William Safire comments.

He does? What is he commenting about?

The Register has an editorial;

An editorial, you say? My local paper has one too, but you don't see me obsessing over it.

see also The Guardian for more on the British perspective.

Good advice.

Associated Press story.

This sentence is a fragment; consider revising it.

Listen, Michael. I know you're excited about oppressing me, but you could at least take the time to write meaningful sentences. I've been doing that since before you were born.

"Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?"

Apparently not you, as it should be "...to whom will you speak it?"
