If having to spend an extra couple of dollars each month to watch TV is too onerous for you then why don't you try not watching as much? Read a book instead you will be better off.
Zero for me. I'm one of the people who would much rather prefer to use the DVD option with 10 times the selection rather than the constantly shrinking offerings on the streaming side. But I'm one of the abnormal people who prefer to only watch television for a couple of hours at a time as opposed to sitting on the couch and binging on TV for eleven hours straight.
Every ISP oversubscribes their uplinks. This has been the case since day one. The economics would not work otherwise. There is no place on earth that will dedicate 50-100 Mbps for every user all the way through.
Red Hat went public in 1999, they are far from being a start-up. They have acquired several companies themselves so they are just as corporate as IBM although significantly smaller.
The people getting handed 34 billion dollars are the stockholder not the employees. The vast majority of that money goes to people who do not work at the company.
The telecoms can just partition the bandwidth. Use part for the Internet and the rest for their own private network. They can then do whatever they want on their own private network and just follow the NN rules on the public Internet. This will allow them to offer advanced services and charge companies that want to make their content available on the private network.
The private network can carry any traffic that is sensitive the latency or requires a good QoS. The public Internet will carry everything else. Everybody will be happy.
Instead of breaking them up the government can simply put them out of business by passing privacy laws with some teeth. When they can't sell your info then their biggest revenue stream goes right down the drain.
It's called the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. If you want to fight that in the court the go right ahead, it's been settled law since 1890. Saying that somebody has the right to censor you on their common platform is the same as censoring somebody from using their common railroad if they said something the railroad owner found objectionable.
Funny how people have no problem with censorship these days as long as it means censoring the other side.
I thought the whole point of these tribal lands was to allow the natives to live the same lifestyle as their ancestors. Why is the federal government promoting the white man's technology there?
Funny when Google was helping develop better guided missile programs for the US government that would actually save lives they all had a collective hissy fit. But helping the Chinese government oppress its people is A-Ok with them.
Charter can just shut down their systems and everybody that is using them would have to switch. I bet the price for FIOS goes right through the roof if that were to happen. I doubt they could force them to sell but even if they did Charter could tie them up in court for years.
The fact that Microsoft is becoming a legitimate competitor to Amazon in the cloud space is front page news. Obviously they have a way to go to catch up but they have clearly distanced themselves from Google in cloud services.
Much more interesting when there are multiple companies competing for leadership in a tech sector.
What it means is that Microsoft need a major new revenue stream and since nobody else is challenging AWS they are giving it a shot. Good to hear since we need competition in this space.

But how does that benefit Woz?

I used to do that too, and this was before you had online exams.

I will put that as my guess for the day that Tesla announces bankruptcy.
Remember the idea behind where the Mac came from? If you don't know ask the folks at Xerox.

I heard just the opposite.

The 100K worth of Russian ads supposedly decided a multi-billion dollar election? Maybe Clinton's problem was Clinton.
