According to PBS, Bernie Sanders is "gaining against Clinton in early polls." Salon'sBill Curry believes "Hillary Clinton is going lose," primarily because millions of voters longing for a truly progressive candidate will nominate Sanders. POLITICO explained recently that Early-state polls hint at a Bernie Sanders surge, a headline that was unthinkable only several months earlier. Yahoo's Meredith Shiner calls Sanders a "progressive social media star and pragmatic legislator" and states that "Sanders also has a much more substantial legislative history" than any GOP challenger. In Iowa,1,100 people packed a gym to hear Bernie Sanders speak in May.

Millions of U.S. Broadband Subscribers Are Experiencing Artificial Internet Brownouts

Millions of U.S. Broadband Subscribers Are Experiencing Artificial Internet Brownouts

Net NeutralityThe FCC and Media Policy

On the day of the FCC’s historic Open Internet vote, Chairman Tom Wheeler announced that in addition to enacting the strongest Net Neutrality rules ever, the agency’s order would contain important provisions pertaining to interconnection.

This was welcome news for consumers and businesses that have endured widespread Internet “brownouts” stemming from the artificial congestion Internet service providers have created at network interconnection points. Far too often, customers have been unable to access the content they’ve requested at the speeds they pay their broadband providers to deliver.

Last year’s highly publicized Netflix disputes with ISPs were not the end of the story. And the FCC’s language about interconnection is not a cure-all for these kinds of anti-consumer practices. In fact, real-world experience shows that the problem remains very real today. The FCC needs to take a close look at the dramatic impact interconnection issues have on broadband end-users’ experience — and it needs to follow through and act as quickly as possible.

Data from Measurement Lab, which Ars Technica highlighted just after the FCC released its Open Internet Order, show that these massive slowdowns are an ongoing problem for customers of the nation’s largest ISPs. Consumers are being held hostage while ISPs try to extract a ransom from other carriers and Internet content providers.

Interconnection Is What Makes the Internet Work ... Until It Doesn’t

SUPREME COURT SHOWS SURPRISING WILLINGNESS TO COMBAT 'UNCONSCIOUS' DISCRIMINATION

SUPREME COURT SHOWS SURPRISING WILLINGNESS TO COMBAT 'UNCONSCIOUS' DISCRIMINATION
BY JUDD LEGUM POSTED ON JUNE 25, 2015 AT 11:25 AM

Much of the attention on the Supreme Court today has focused on King v. Burwell, which upheld federal subsidies and preserved health care for millions. But a less prominent case relating to the Fair Housing Act of 1968, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Community Project, Inc., could be equally significant.

The 5-4 ruling, which surprised many court watchers, found that the housing policies could be deemed discriminatory based on “disparate impact.” This means that plaintiffs could prove discrimination by showing that the impact of a housing policy was discriminatory, even if there was no conscious attempt to discriminate.
