LOL! is the Jayfar account run by Trump or something?
Hardly. Just stating True Facts® and kind of a stickler for words having well-defined meanings. There simply is no promise offered or implied in the wording provided. People who think they see a "promise" where the word itself doesn't actually occur are bound to be disappointed regularly.
"enable the merged company to reduce prices" != "the merged company promises to reduce prices"
That doesn't mean I don't think AT&T is being shady, but they promised nothing.
/. headline sez: "AT&T Promised Lower Prices After Time Warner Merger -- It's Raising Them Instead"
Yet I am unable to find the word "promise" in the quote from AT&T's filing. Someone tell me, which word in the passage below is a synonym for promise?
"The evidence overwhelmingly showed that this merger is likely to enhance competition substantially, because it will enable the merged company to reduce prices, offer innovative video products,"
Nah, you're thinking of the State Department, run by the former CEO of Exxon Mobil Rex Tillerson. The EPA is headed by Scott Pruitt, who, as Oklahoma Attorney General, sued the EPA every day before lunch.

I just entered my zip code and it accepted that. Of course that may give you a couple extraneous representatives, since zips don't exactly correspond to legislative boundaries.
The problem is it didn't keep to its roots. With the maker movement it could had positioned itself a place for makers to quickly get parts, and also as a place to do 3D printing. As well to get replacement electronic parts. Where you can get parts faster than waiting for shipping. But for the most part they just focused on selling stuff you can get at other retail stores.
Maybe, but I doubt that model would have supported for than a couple stores in each city, certainly not all of the remaining 1700-some locations.
Time Warner is the entertainment wing. Think Warner Bros and the former Turner networks.
Time Warner Cable is the former cable wing that was spun off years ago and is now owned by Charter Cable. The only common ground was their name since it never changed it when they spun it off. That's why their changing their name to Spectrum now that Charter bought them.
This would have no effect on broadband. If anything it will make DirecTV cheaper (since they won't have to pay for the Turner channels anymore since they own them) and possibly other cable companies more expensive by raising the retransmission rates to Turner channels.
Still not good for consumers but its not going to kill broadband as we know it.
I was reading elsewhere that users utilizing OpenDNS' SmartCache feature were unaffected. Basically, in the event that a domain's authoritative servers all become unavailable, smartcache uses the last known good resource records, regardless of whether their TTL has expired. Are any of the other DNS providers and ISPs utilizing anything similar?
Are you referring to 'MaeWest'? that was the west coast aggregate fiber tap. Their was an East coast atlantic fiber run aggregate tap as well, can't recall its name.
MAE East, Duhr! But those facilities weren't particularly set up to allow government interception.
Correction: This was a brand new rocket. The first customer to fly on a used rocket will be SES.
--quote- For SpaceX, the private space company owned by Elon Musk, it was the "first launch of [a] flight-proven first stage," the company says. The mission was using the same rocket booster that sent the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station earlier this year. --end quote--
This wasn't a used rocket. The first reuse will be for the SES-10 launch in a couple of months... assuming this doesn't push back the timeline.

They stated that the merger would *enable* them to reduce prices. They did not say they *would* reduce prices.
Yes, they're weasels. No, that's not perjury.
It did enable them to lower prices. They just chose not to.
Bingo!!!

Hi Tyler. Hope you're having a great time in prison. Tell Bubba we send our love.
Nah, it's just pining for the fjords.
The EPA is run by what, an oil exec?

Trump's FCC is doing away with common carrier status for ISPs. They didn't become common carriers until 2015.

Not sure why they didn't just call it what it is: ASIC.
Well TFU kinda did that: "TPUs are what’s known in chip lingo as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)."

The law doesn't single out imdb. Wikipedia is in violation if imdb is. Hopefully a federal court will put an end to this nonsense.
But Wikipedia doesn't offer paid subscriptions, so no. The law is tailored to sites that do.
Except it doesn't work that way once you are the POTUS.

Can't blame me. I voted for the adult. Unfortunately the petulant man-child won (by a very narrow margin in the popular vote.)
And to make things still more confusing, there *was* Time Warner Telecom, which was acquired by Level 3 a couple years ago.

In retrospect, you meant retroactively, I think.
